Filipkowski: I believe we’re worse off now—and we don’t even know for sure that Iran was moving toward developing a nuclear weapon before this. They certainly will be now. They now know, definitively, that the only way to deter Israel and the U.S. is to have a nuclear deterrent themselves.

Please contact your 2 senators and 1 representative in Congress. Tell them that we will not "get over" losing Medicaid or the ACA. Ask everyone you know to do so as well. Call 202-224-3121 Or use 5calls.org acasignups.net/25/05/23/sta...

Just a reminder that Republicans in Congress like #NJ07's Tom Kean Jr are responsible for allowing Trump to run roughshod over the Constitution and federal laws. They've handed off the powers of Congress - lawmaking, spending, tariffs, war powers - to a madman. Hey Tom! Do your job! #NoKings

Today, CA Senator Alex Padilla exercised his First Amendment right to question DHS Sec. Noem & was viciously manhandled, thrown to the ground, & handcuffed. This is an all-hands-on-deck moment. On June 14, Americans must protest the violent, unconstitutional actions of the Trump regime. #nokings

Don't let them lie to you about Senator Padilla. DHS is claiming the agents DID NOT KNOW he was a senator. He CLEARLY says (BEFORE he is tackled and cuffed) "I am Senator Alex Padilla and I have a question for the secretary."

Another video of Senator Padilla’s violent arrest at DHS Sec Noem’s press conference in LA. You can see him thrown to the ground by FBI agents and handcuffed. (video shared by Padilla’s staff with Elex Michaelson of Fox LA and posted on X)

President Trump and his allies have a new message for wobbly Republicans in Congress: Either support his "Big Beautiful Bill" or get bashed for backing the Los Angeles protesters.

Anti-green measures by the Trump admin - and in the bill that #NJ07 Rep Tom Kean Jr voted for - are "causing businesses to cancel plans, delay their plans and take their money and jobs to other countries instead.” Hey Tom! Are you proud of killing jobs AND the climate? apnews.com/article/clim...

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil.

You have three days, starting today, to leave a public comment with the FDA about, say, why COVID-19 boosters should remain available to everyone and also free. "Individual consumer" is the category you most likely want (unless you are one of the other categories; if so, choose that).

🚨UPDATE: In a late-night court hearing, the Trump admin says that it deported the Burmese man to Burma, but is REFUSING to say where they deported the Vietnamese man, claiming it’s classified! The judge ordered ICE to tell everyone involved they may face criminal contempt.

I am trying very hard not to break things right now after seeing the Secretary of DHS indicate she doesn’t understand a legal concept so essential to the principles of a free society it dates as far back as the MAGNA CARTA.
