Incredible question from a constituent at a Mike Lawler Town hall

Military service members don’t deserve to be told they can’t serve in certain roles because they are “Black or gay or a woman” by “a washed-up Fox TV commentator.” - Gov Pritzker 🔥🔥

Air raid sirens normally have gone off for testing and training purposes in the past. This time, the air raid siren is not a test. It’s an emergency and Canada needs you. Liberals, please respond to the sirens as they are real for the first time in my life. Please go vote.

Atlantic: What would happen if you accidentally got the wrong person (re: deportations) - a legal resident, or even an American citizen? Trump: Let me tell you that nothing will ever be perfect in this world. This should chill you to your core. We will not be acceptable casualties to fascism.

Booker: Do you think we got the right to vote for women because a bunch of men on the House floor got together and said “on the count of three, women get the right to vote..” That’s not how it happened… Change doesn’t come from Washington. It comes to Washington.

The usual dodge for senators asked about impeachment is "well that's up to the House, I'm not going to pre-judge because I've got to be a fair and impartial juror" blah blah blah, and Ossoff did something useful in breaking that pretense and just straight-up saying yes, as a senator, he supports it.

This is something we can all do.👇🏼 File a complaint with the FL and DC Bar to have Pam Bondi disbarred for not complying with the 9-0 Supreme Court ruling to return Mr. Garcia from El Salvador. I did mine... who's next?

This is Tom Homan. He is only 38 months older than me. This is what hatred and utter and complete lack of compassion will do to you.

Carney has stayed above the fray and campaigned with integrity, while the Poilievre story has been a smear campaign with low-brow tactics and lies about Carney using radical media.

Dear media, It's trafficking The word you're looking for is trafficking Coupled with kidnapping The only thing he's deporting is a fuckton of American embarrassment to every country in the world. STOP calling them deportations. That is a legal term. It's not even close to what he's actually doing

Will we have the courage to feel how sad and evil it is that Virginia Guiffre is dead and the many who harmed her and countless other vulnerable young women are still comfortable in power and privilege?

All that Labour and the Tories will achieve by obsessing over Reform voters is amplifying Farage's message and driving more people to vote for him. You defeat fascism by fighting it, not by donning some of its clothing.

Imagine being legitimately one of the worst humans in history and having many millions of people wishing every day for your quick end.

Warnock: I hear people attack poor people and act like it’s a crime to be poor, rather than to recognize it’s criminal for so many people to be poor. They do all of this in the name of Jesus… Jesus is the biggest victim of identity theft in the United States

Dear media, We're going to need you to stop being polite with trump, stop using kind words to describe his bullshittery, his grifting, and his absolute CHAOS. When he lies, call it LYING. When he grifts, call it grift. When he acts like a fucking fascist, call it that.

Dear Canada: tomorrow is Election Day. This is Mark Carney. Hint, hint.

Might have been helpful if 10 years ago more people had pointed out the "art" in The Art of the Deal was swindling partners and stiffing contractors.

A vote for anyone but the Lib Dems in many area risks more chaos under the Tories or Reform. #LocalElections2025 #LE2025 The best way can secure change in your community is by voting for a Lib Dem local champion on Thursday 1 May. #LibDems 🔶🔶🔶🔶🔶

“Deporting” someone is sending them back to their country where they are free to live as citizens. What that asshole is doing is NOT deportation. It’s kidnapping and human trafficking. It’s illegally sending people to USA-funded off shore concentration camps.

“He is granting audiences to people who buy his meme coin. When the sitting president of the United States is selling access for what are effectively payments directly to him. There is no question that that rises to the level of an impeachable offense.” Sen. Jon Ossoff

Amen.

If he cannot carry out his agenda without breaking our laws, violating our Constitution, ignoring the judiciary, alienating our allies and crashing the economy… It’s a criminal agenda.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 43 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

Tel Aviv…

Nigel Farage is a political fraud ‘cosplaying’ as working-class champion, TUC chief says www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Given the literal definition of deportation is removing a foreigner or noncitizen from the country, we - journalists, media orgs - should probably all stop referring to the ‘deportation’ of a 2 year old US citizen. It’s NOT a deportation. I’m not sure what it is. A kidnapping?

To every elected member of Congress: Senate or House. If you don't want to do your job, we will find someone who does. Stand up to the President, resign, or lose.

It’s interesting that secret service told reporters the guy who stole Noem’s purse what a white male, then they wait a week and DHS says it was an undocumented migrant but refuses to give any other details.

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... This is how true leaders lead. They inspire us because they do the right thing (or try to) and we trust them, because we know that they’re trying to make a stand for decency/truth. It’s not about power but the positive difference they do with that power.

If it’s true that their only “evidence” against this judge is that she advised someone to leave out a side door, this is complete banana republic bullshit and should be unequivocally condemned by both parties.

We, the penguins of Heard Island, are flabbergasted by today’s news. A human judge arrested by the FBI? Not only is that a flippery slope in justice and Democracy, but it’s likely because they wear black and white accented robes, in support of our Government. Unbelievable.

Would you trust your council with Reform?

This is something I genuinely do not understand. Why does Labour not do something about it now?

Thank you to everyone who showed up, good news, the judge has been released!

Nigel Farage under pressure over Reform candidate's vile Hitler post www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Effective Corporate Tax Rates 1950: 50% 2025: 13% Top Marginal Tax Rates 1950: 91% 2025: 37% If you’re curious as to why the rich have so much and you have so little, these are good places to start.

Seeing as Farage is off on one about "foreigners in our midst" again, it's worth noting that it's exactly 57 years since this cartoon appeared in The Guardian #OnThisDay 1968. Powell's "rivers of blood" speech had been delivered five days before...
