Meanwhile in Russia: head of RT Margarita Simonyan was apparently given an assignment to convince Russians that breakfast is not necessary, they don't need much bottled water, and everyone who ever lived on earth will be "medically resurrected" in the future. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiHn...

Warnock: If I'm honest, there are days when I have to ask people of my faith tradition as a Christian, are we reading the same book? The book I know says I was hungry and you fed me. I was sick, I was in prison and you visited me, I was a stranger and you welcomed me….

A government that destroys its own people's healthcare is a large-scale analog of a parent neglecting and beating their own children.

As I said two weeks ago, the Dem establishment would rather burn down the entire party than let Mamdani become mayor of NYC. I fear they will scorch the Earth, even if it means losing races, rather than rally behind him. I also fear for his safety, considering credible death threats have increased.

@booker.senate.gov My Senator, Where did ya go after your record-setting attention-seeking filibuster? Oh right, you voted yes along with MAGA for Charles Kushner (pardoned criminal) as AMBASSADOR to France.. AND the ONLY Dem to join them on this vote. To me, you’re a TRAITOR. Yep. FUCK OFF.

BREAKING: In the Senate, Sheldon Whitehouse just called Trump’s bill what it really is: an immunity fantasy for a man who tried to overthrow the damn government. He looked them in the eye and called the Capitol a crime scene.

Warnock: A budget is not just a fiscal document. A budget is a moral document. Show me your budget and I'll show you who you think matters and who doesn't. And if this awful budget were an EKG, it would suggest that our nation has a heart problem and is in need of moral surgery

FYI - Vietnam changed their citizenship requirements for Vietnamese living abroad. If your ancestry is Vietnamese, you can become a citizen and you do not have to have residency. You can also buy a home. www.instagram.com/p/DLWSmxHS50...

Everything is a “redistribution of wealth” — the only question is which direction it’s heading in. Stop letting them convince you the only valid direction is from the bottom to the top. They’ve been selling that snake oil for decades.

"Mr. Secretary, you're now on the record -- you lied to Sen. Cassidy, you have lied to the American people, you have lied to parents about vaccines for 20 years, and I also want to be clear that I will lay all responsibility for every death from a vaccine-preventable [illness] at your feet."

Firefighters have a tough and dangerous job and to think that they were targeted by a man with a highpowered weapon, is unconscionable. How much hate in your heart do you have to have to kill the very people who can save lives? Firefighters are selfless, public servants and this is horrific.

If RFK Jr. really cared about healthy eating, he’d stop rolling back corporate regs and blaming individuals. He’d raise SNAP, end food deserts, and fund cooking education. People don’t live off 89¢ ramen and gas station snacks because they want to. It’s what the system gives them

In today’s episode of What Are They Thinking: “If you don’t see a hurricane coming… does it really exist?” 🚨 The Dept of Defense is shutting down its weather satellite program. No more data. No more updates. Meteorologists are scrambling—and we’re heading into peak storm season. Brilliant timing.

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.

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.
