Chris Murphy: "The CBO, nonpartisan, says it's gonna kick between 10 and 15 million people off their healthcare. And for what? To be able to afford a new $270,000 tax cut for the richest families in the country ... it's a moral abomination."

Rest assured that here in Illinois, our LGBTQ+ community can be who they want to be. They are safe here. They are celebrated here. They are welcome here. And they are free to love who they love here. No matter the month, I'll always be an ally in the fight for equality for all.

The cabinet is pure garbage chosen only because of their lack of integrity and willingness to kiss the first felon’s ass. They are a dangerous, walking clown show.

ICE already can't meet their detainment numbers without rounding up children, veterans, people born in the U.S., people with no criminal records, people at immigration hearings, plus academics and visitors with valid visas. So who do they plan to detain with >10x the budget? The answer is: you.

The Trump administration has released a three-time felon and five-time deported immigrant because he's going to testify against zero-time felon Abrego - all to cover their tracks for mistakenly and illegally sending Abrego to El Salvador and then lying about it to the court to cover it up.

The understanding that food, shelter and medicine should be available for every member of a tribe is how we evolved, survived and prospered since the birth of humanity. Leaders were chosen for their ability to ensure that creed was followed. Freedom and community support. Good times. Socialism.

Mamdani: "I've already had to start get used to the fact that the president will talk about how I look, how I sound, where I'm from, ultimately bc he wants to distract from what I'm fighting for. I'm fighting for the the very working people he ran a campaign to empower that he has since betrayed."

2.977 people died on 9/11. The daily quote for ICE is 3000. I think putting it in terms like that puts it into perspective. They want one 9/11 every day.

SNAP cuts and stricter work rules will gut food aid in red states, where poverty is higher and job access is lower. This isn’t targeting “lazy coastal elites”, it’s targeting single moms in Kentucky and disabled workers in Mississippi. And they’re clapping for it.

Dozens of Marines are now patrolling the border near Campo, California. Not just in support roles, but shoulder to shoulder with Border Patrol. A direct challenge to the Posse Comitatus Act, which bans the military from civilian law enforcement.

There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.

🚨 ICE disappeared a woman on Wednesday night. She was grabbed by men in plainclothes and taken to an unidentified location. ICE is refusing to say where she is being held. It’s 72 hours later and not even a dedicated team of lawyers can find her. This is WRONG. We can’t let this be the new norm.
