Menendez Jr: They feel no weight of the law and no restraint on what they should be doing. And that was shown in broad daylight today when they not just arrested the Mayor of Newark but when they put their hands on two members of congress standing behind me. How is this acceptable?

Mayor @freddieoconnell.bsky.social : “If ICE released their names, you’d hear about the father stopped on his way home from buying decorations for his son’s bday party… they found his empty car on the side of the road…” Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DJcqZ5k...

Make it make sense

We are not under invasion. There is no justification for suspending our constitutional rights. Every single American should speak out against this, loudly and forcefully.

This is the right approach — speak to them as you would an especially stupid child, spell out their crimes and your contempt clearly.

A federal court says Alabama can't use a congressional map it found unconstitutional. The ruling comes in a voting rights case that resulted in the state getting a second Black member of Congress.

Part of the problem is that the Democrats are old school polite. They need to fully realize that you don't make deals with the devil, you eviscerate him with every weapon you have and you don't stop until he's ashes at your feet.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: “I’ll let the American people decide who the weirdos are, because I think we know.” Oh, we certainly do.

Jeffries: "I can say without hesitation or reservation or need for clarification that America is not down with MTG."

Steny Hoyer: "Is this infantile bill to rename the Gulf of Mexico really this House's top priority? *phone rings* I think Saturday Night Live just called me. They want me on."

Well, well, well. The Acting FEMA Administrator said eliminating FEMA wasn’t in the best interest of the American people — and guess what?!?! They FIRED him. I guess that’s what happens when you stand up to your power-hungry “boss”.

New in PN: Trump demands wartime sacrifices. Good luck with that. "Any sense of 'shared sacrifice' is inconsistent with the selfishness at MAGA's core. Worse, Trump sold voters on what was supposedly in it for them, with fantastical promises to lower prices & create jobs from long-dead industries."

I will take it to my grave.✋✋✋✋✋

GDP contracted in the first quarter. Kelly Loeffler: "This administration is really supercharging the economy like we've never seen in our history."

That guy from The Real World, Sean Duffy, trying to blame Pete Buttigieg for his failures is pathetic. Republicans move fast and break things, then blame others. Rinse, recycle, repeat.

So many people have grown up to be the villains of our stories.

If guilty people don't have Due Process rights, then innocent people don't have Due Process rights, because we don't know if they're innocent or guilty until we have a trial or hearing.

This is representation. Thank you, @reptedlieu.bsky.social

Making sure our kids don’t go hungry isn’t just the right thing to do, it’s an investment in our future.

Crockett: I cannot wait until voters have an opportunity to say: You took food out of my mouth. You took a roof from over my head. You are responsible for making sure that I do not have health care. I'm going to make sure you don't have a job.

YES!

NEWS: The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) analysis of various Republican plans for Medicaid spending reveals that, under every scenario laid out by the GOP, millions would lose insurance. The GOP's plans would have a disproportionate impact on low-income and elderly populations.

Speak Truth to Power....directly in THEIR FRIGGIN FACE...

No, Merrick Garland is not “water under the bridge.” We are currently having to deal with multiple corrupt and chargeable men and women in politics because of his failure.

Transgender people are not dishonorable but Six of the Supreme Court justices are.

NEW: In the Mahmoud Khalil case, Judge Farbiarz orders the government to give him a COMPLETE LIST of every time since 1975 it has invoked the secretary of state's power to deport someone for foreign-policy reasons—including a description of each case's facts and a copy of the official determination.

Joe Biden: "I think the Republican Party is waking up to Trump." "You think they may fight back?" JB: "I think they're beginning to, yes."

To be effective, our opposition to today's abuses must run alongside a clear picture of what we are actually for - and how everyday life could be better with different leadership.

Linda McMahon, Secretary of Education, sent Harvard a letter. They graded it. Bwahahaha.

Watching Kristi Noem's face as Democratic House Rep. Lauren Underwood absolutely torched her on the Constitution in the House Oversight Committee hearing was amazing. Bravo, Lauren!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
