All accurate!

"They took her in a car, in essence kidnapping her ... I met another young woman whose husband has quite literally disappeared" -- Newsom shares harrowing details of specific cases of ICE terrorizing immigrants in California

Lawmakers in Congress should not be buying, trading, and owning individual stocks. Period. It’s long past time to BAN Congressional stock trading.

So randomly kidnapping children & adults from places of work, education and immigration appointments, to then disappear them without due process by dudes with wack $15 hair cuts…if this does not meet your definition of fascism, then your definition of fascism is you’re a moron.

Spotted in Houston today

She’s a disgrace and she needs to resign immediately. This is not what happens in democratic countries

SEN. PADILLA: “Saying I lunged is a lie, but that’s par for the course for this administration… I was behind the cameras listening, and at a certain point hearing Noem say they had to rescue LA from the Governor and Mayor was too much to take. So I raise my voice to ask a question.”

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state Keep that same energy of support for her

Trump regime ICE forces attacked a family by ramming their car with children inside, then shot tear gas at them. They were all US citizens. The regime took the father away claiming he had punched an ICE agent during a protest. #3E #StopICE

Not even @betoorourke.bsky.social was handcuffed when he called out Greg Abbott in the middle of his press conference in Uvalde and he isn’t a standing US Senator. That’s why it was all the more spine chilling to see Senator Alex Padilla pushed to the ground. This isn’t normal!

Newsom: "He's been a stone cold liar about what he said we talked about. He never discussed the National Guard. Period. Full stop. I would love to share with you what he actually talked about. It would send shivers up your spine."

If they will do that to a United States senator, what do you think they'll do to you? Time to resist this shit is now.

This is the United States of America, and we don’t DO kings here. #NoKingsNYC act.link/gi-sec612jo

On 6/12, DHS Sec’y Kristi Noem said “We are staying here to liberate [LA] from the socialists and the burdensome leadership this governor and mayor have placed on this country and this city.” This use of military force to displace a democratically elected is the very definition of a coup.

Kristi Noem thinks her lie about Sen. Padilla not identifying himself is a real own when, in fact, her supposed inability to recognize a US Senator--who is the chair of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship & Border Safety--makes her goons' thuggery even more disgraceful.

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

The immediate mission is simple now. MILLIONS of us in the streets on Saturday for No Kings Day. EVERYBODY. WE are the cavalry.

This is what that weird Noem creature said before her goons attacked my senior US senator, Alex Padilla:

Tomorrow is the big day. Our goal: to show the power of the 3.5% rule right here in the U.S. Over 100,000 coalition members and their families will be attending events across the country to help as needed.

NEW VIDEO: As Trump sends in troops to Los Angeles and threatens Democratic representatives, California Rep. Eric Swalwell joins me to discuss how we got to this moment and what we can do to combat the administration’s takeover of our democracy. youtube.com/watch?v=T2_k...

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

Trump tariffed every country, even penguins, but not Russia. He said it’s because he’s negotiating the wars end. But he DID tariff Ukraine. Hmmm

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum has handed over control of the Department of the Interior to Tyler Hassen, a former oil executive and Musk staffer. Hassen, who came to the agency through the so-called DOGE, now has broad authority to cut costs and consolidate operations across the department,

An update from the WH Easter Egg Roll.

Four House Democrats, Reps. Robert Garcia (Calif.), Maxwell Frost (Fla.), Maxine Dexter (Ore.), and Yassamin Ansari (Ariz.), are traveling to El Salvador to advocate for the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was “mistakenly” deported to the country by the Trump administration.

26 years ago today, 13 people were killed and 24 were injured in a mass shooting at Columbine High School. This year, survivor Anne Marie Hochhalter died due to complications of her gunshot wounds at the age of 43. Gun violence inflicts damage that lasts a lifetime. End it now.

The power of Pope Francis’ heroic example reached far beyond the Vatican. I keep his second encyclical, Laudato Si’, at my desk. It is a document for the ages, with words of care for the planet—our common home. I join people of every faith as we mourn a loss for all of us.

BREAKING NEWS: The White House has begun the process of looking for a new secretary of defense, according to a U.S. official who was not authorized to speak publicly.

Name a better Defense Secretary than Pete Hegseth, we’ll go first:

So damn important. Everyone needs to let this sink in. 👇👇

"U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared details of a March attack on Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis in a message group that included his wife, brother and personal lawyer, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters on Sunday" www.reuters.com/world/us/def...

Maybe even send him CECOT.

Fkn snowflake

Closing in on 30,000 letters sent to Congress demanding Hegseth’s resignation—send yours here: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

My deepest sympathies to the members of the Catholic Church. The Pope was a transformational figure, and will be missed by many.

Pope Francis was a force for good. He will be remembered for his empathy for the most vulnerable among us, his advocacy for action on climate change, and his leadership to make the Church a welcoming place for all — which made so many people feel seen.
