In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “terrorist,” who was “sent to the right place.” This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent. He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.

If this doesn't terrify you that they can just send anyone they don't like to a random prison in another country with no legal recourse and just say "oops, our mistake, but nothing we can do about it" you live in a delusion.

Watching Cory Booker speak and colleagues "ask questions" and the breadth of topics getting discussed as a result are just making me more convinced that a daily alt press conference by the Democrats is a good tactic they need to take to reach more people.

“Anybody who tells you that we can slash foreign aid and that will bring us to balance is lying to you. Foreign aid is less than one percent of our budget. It’s just not true,” Rubio said in 2019

The 2 Republican appointed judges did not rule based on the case being a clear violation of law BUT because they think the government will prove that the law itself is unconstitutional. They are confident the supreme court will rule that the president should have fewer checks from Congress.

The American Apparel and Footwear Association represents 1,100+ name brands and is the voice of this industry (including more than 3.5 million U.S. workers). They know ending all our international grants will hurt.

Not surprisingly, Trump’s overall tax and tariff proposals would make the very rich much richer and working families poorer. If you earn less than $360,000 a year, your taxes are going to go way up. If you’re in the top 1%? Don’t worry. You’ll save big.

DOGE cut off payments for the electricity, cell phone, and internet service of U.S. government employees who work in a high-risk area in Central America. Meanwhile, DOGE apparently plans to spend $25,000 to install a washer and dryer for their own personal use in a federal office building in DC.

Support for unions are at an all time high in most of our lifetimes - 70% - yet the current laws allow corporations to bust organziing efforts andrefuse to bargain in good faith, knowing unions/workers don't have the funds to fight them in the courts and enforcement is lacking.

We don’t just support worker rights – we help workers turn those rights into reality. #Solidarity #WorkerRights

Elon updated DOGE, claiming to have fixed the mistakes we all pointed out. But instead of correcting them, he just added more false claims. He even inflated his so-called “savings” total from $55 billion to $65 billion, when in reality, the actual increase is only from $2 billion to $2.3 billion.
