🚨TXā€¼ļø TACO’s drive for TX mid-decade gerrymandering would oust Jasmine & flip other blue seats too! Fight it! While being driven to an undisclosed location last weekend, Jasmine used the opportunity to connect with followers on current events

Please make the calls 202-224-3121 ā˜Žļø Who are these people and how is this not kidnapping?

ā€œā€¦this court now intervenes to grant the Government emergency relief from an order it has repeatedly defiedā€, wrote Justice Sotomayor in her decent. SCOTUS now provides relief to Republican’s lawlessness. We’re living in an astounding time. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue www.rawstory.com/trump-deport...

They were supposed to be deporting ā€œgang membersā€ and ā€œcriminals.ā€ So far, they have kidnapped people working their day jobs and folks lawfully showing up for their immigration court appearances… It was always a lie.

The Republicans you see supporting Trump on TV know exactly who he really is. They already told us.

Marco Rubio needs to be asked whether he believes his grandfather who remained in the U.S. after receiving a deportation order from our govt should have been treated the way the father of 3 Marines was treated by ICE this weekend in California. ASK HIM. Make him confront his lack of character.

It is day 100 since Andry was disappeared by Trump admin to a gulag in El Salvador. 100 days since this photo was snapped while he begged for his mom. 100 days of wondering if he is still alive. We’re still waiting for the devastatingly slow wheels of justice to turn. #FreeAndry

Bove’s confirmation hearing for the 3rd Circuit is on Wednesday. His own former DOJ colleagues say they don’t trust him to be impartial. Watch the video & insist that your senators do too before they vote.

Minutes after we published this article, Sean Hannity removed a video from his Instagram account that falsely claimed to show an explosion at the Fordow nuclear facility in Iran. The post had been up since Saturday night and viewed over 5 million times www.wired.com/story/donald...

House Republicans are trying to gut the Government Accountability Office—the nonpartisan agency that’s spent decades exposing waste, fraud, and abuse across the federal government. GAO has worked with Congress for years to make government more efficient and accountable. (1/2)

Wow: ICE Has Deported at Least 70 U.S. Citizens

🚨🚨Trump’s illegal strike on Iran wasn’t just reckless—it violated the Constitution we swore to defend. If this spirals into another war, don’t just blame Trump. Blame every Republican too scared to stand up to him.

BREAKING: Iran has fired 6 missiles toward US bases in Qatar. www.reuters.com/world/world-...

Someone's panicking.

The biggest problem with the Iraq/Vietnam = Iran metaphor is that it makes Trump a victim. That somehow there is a trend bigger than him that he got swept up in. He made this decision. He wasn’t hypnotized. He isn’t being ā€œcontrolledā€. Stop excusing him and pretending this was ā€œinevitableā€.

This is the only explanation that makes sense.

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore. Make it make sense.

ā€œHe has always worked hard to put food on the table for us and my mom,ā€ said Alejandro. ā€œHe was always careful and always did his taxes on time. He never caused any problems and he is known as a kind and helping person by everyone in our community.ā€ santanero.org/2025/06/21/l...

KTLA - Narciso Barranco, a father to three sons who are all US Marines, pepper-sprayed and punched in the face by alleged federal immigration officers while he was working as a landscaper at an IHOP. He was then forced into the back of an unmarked car in Santa Ana.

ā€œfamily members identified the victim as Narciso Barranco, a father to three sons who are all U.S. Marinesā€ ktla.com/news/local-n...

This is the kind of excessive force case DOJ routinely prosecutes. They should open an investigation here, based on the misconduct not the victims status.

NEWS: Senate Parliamentarian says GOP scheme to limit federal court preliminary injunctions by requiring plaintiffs challenging government actions to post large bonds cannot be part of reconciliation bill. A victory for Democrats, rule of law and the courts and a defeat for Trump and the GOP.

no accidents

Take note.

Trump bombing Iran was illegal and unjustified. I ran for Congress to make sure our leaders consider the true costs of war. And I will be in the Senate, standing on my titanium legs, demanding answers from Trump. My statement:

I was briefed on the intelligence last week. Iran posed no imminent threat of attack to the United States. Iran was not close to building a deliverable nuclear weapon. The negotiations Israel scuttled with their strikes held the potential for success.

Why are no headlines focusing on the unconstitutional and dictatorial nature of this action?

🚨 DONALD TRUMP HAS OFFICIALLY BROUGHT THE UNITED STATES INTO A NEW WAR IN THE MIDDLE EAST

Masked ICE agents spotted swapping out license plates this morning in Bell Gardens, CA

No way.... šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ Keep an eye on the "asphalt".

A member of the Juventus team who stood behind Trump in the Oval as he ranted and raved says he was forced to be there and that "it was a bit weird"

Concerning…

The U.S. Senate is currently considering a budget reconciliation bill that quietly includes language that could devastate our public lands. It would: - Make over 250 million acres of public land eligible for sale - Mandate the sale of at least 2 million acres of Forest Service and BLM land

How awesome is this

Trump and GOP’s tax bill would sell off USPS’s brand-new EVs A little-noticed part of Trump’s tax and immigration package would see the U.S. undo billions of dollars in electric vehicle investments by the Postal Service.

NEW: Pope Leo’s newly appointed Bishop, Michael Pham, outside the court in San Diego: ā€œWe need to speak up for the voiceless in our society - and we will.ā€ The video then shows masked ICE agents leaving without snatching anyone today. More of this resistance nationwide! šŸ‘ (šŸŽ„ PSL San Diego)

If you think it can’t happen here, remember that it already did. In 1942 soldiers came with rifles to our home and ordered us out. They put us in internment camps. Most of us were citizens.

SAY IT PLAIN: Federal ā€œICE officersā€ should not be anonymous. And this shouldn’t be a controversial thing to say.

šŸ‘‡šŸ¼

Two weeks you say?

ā€¼ļøā€¼ļø

AMEN

Ouch. #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer

Nothing is off the table for this regime. Armed and masked men are kidnapping people off American streets. We are living in a lawless and scary country.

Members of Congress are being denied access to an ICE facility in Manhattan, because the conditions inside are that bad.

Fuck ICE! In San Diego ICE waited outside of an asylum hearing, until it concluded, so they could arrest an interpreter that worked with the U.S. Military in Afghanistan They don’t even know his name & refuse to produce a warrant! Fuck ICE
