I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

The DOJ lawyer who made the mistake of answering the court's questions about Abrego-Garcia candidly (eg yes he was mistakenly deported, a fact the Administration already has acknowledged), which got him put on administrative leave, has now been fired, ending his 15-year DOJ career..

At least one US president cares to denounce this attack.

Profiteering at the public’s expense. Trump and his partners in crime chuckle and celebrate as millions of Americans suffer shocking financial losses.

Trump agreed to pay El Salvador $6 million to house deportees. He’s deported people with no criminal record. Any brown-skinned person will do. Gotta fill that prison, he paid for incarcerating people. Trump doesn’t care who www.pbs.org/newshour/wor...

We got flipped off by a maga yesterday and I turned my sign so I could ask him:

Everything’s going according to plan 🇷🇺

Dear Elected Republicans, Be afraid. We, The People, are very, very pissed. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1

Pls don’t repost this or Trump will expode his depends!!

Trump rolled out “reciprocal tariffs” based on fake math, waved around a chart that looked like it was printed at Staples right before the press conference, and House Republicans applauded like it was genius. None of it’s real — and Americans will pay the price.

📌Aside from completely wrecking the economy ... It would be great if everybody focused on why no tariffs were placed on Russia. (Hint: He's compromised.) -Thanks

Really looking forward to Jeff Bezos' forceful public condemnation of Trump's tariffs since he is so committed to "free markets" that he made a rule that every opinion piece published in the Washington Post must support "free markets" For some reason, Bezos hasn't said anything yet. Must be busy.

How about only buying necessities! No new car, only eating out of the freezer, no going out to eat, no shows, NO Starbucks!!!!!

Only two men have spoken on the floor of the U.S. Senate for more than 24 straight hours. One of them fought to keep Black people out of public life, the other was a Black leader who staged a landmark protest. Today at 7:19 pm, Sen. Cory Booker surpassed Strom Thurmond’s longstanding record.

Good morning. What’s on the agenda for today? Bombing Iran? Invading Greenland? Kidnapping anyone with a tan? Tainting elections?

“The Bureau employs some 2,000 people in the city of 29,000.” The Red Rural Recession. www.thedailybeast.com/maga-junkie-...

Short sided AF! We can shut borders, cut ties, and look away—but viruses don’t care. The next pandemic is just a 12-hour flight away and we have an HHS secretary, who doesn’t believe in vaccines. This decision will hurt us at home…

Grassley: "We want to cover up-- or, overcome some of that problem."

I really really hope Gay Valimont wins. Can you imagine the GOP trying not to say, “GAY”?

😂🤣😂

GOP Rep. Bacon: "Everybody that reads the messages knows that it was inappropriate for the secretary of defense to put when we were gonna bomb Yemen, when the aircraft are taking off ... I have no doubt that Russia and China are able to read those messages. I would be very surprised if they did not"

Hegseth immediately sent to Guam to avoid questioning by the house.

Really feel like I’m losing my mind: government OBVIOUSLY cannot punish an individual law firm for hiring someone it disfavors! It’s ludicrously unconstitutional and I feel like without a day of law school I could argue the case. And yet the best paid lawyers in the country are folding?

I think there is going to be a Red Rural Recession and soon if all the cuts continue as is All the firings, cancelling of grants and contracts with companies , the closing of offices, disproportionately impact small towns, cities and states. Their finances will be turned upside

GOP Rep. Bacon: "We made a mistake. We passed legislation that gave the president some temporary tariff authorities. I think we should look back and maybe restore the power back from Congress and take away the authorizations."

(1,2) For those who missed this because of the Signal chat news, the attack on our fair and free elections has begun. THIS IS SERIOUS!!! What comes next? Will they cancel the 2026 elections if they can't win. www.yahoo.com/news/trump-s...

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

10 years ago, if group of miscellaneous people were hauled out of bedrooms, work & off the street & flown without hearing to brutal prison in El Salvador, you would have said must be in Chile or Russia or China, not US. "Can't happen here." It is happening here . Why are you now allowing it?

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I guess DRUNK TEXTING top secret military plans is the new norm. And this morning their indifference to their behavior is a huge FUCK YOU to America. May we ask, WHERE IS PETE HEGSETH? Hung over and hiding under the covers, we assume. Well, so is America.

If you don't want to see this horrible garbage happen in every future high-stakes election, make sure it demonstrably fails in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race by helping elect Susan Crawford

Very Well Said and Accurate….
