A top staffer to Sen. Tina Smith emailed Sen. Mike Lee’s top staffers on Monday about “how much additional pain you’ve caused on an unspeakably horrific weekend” Via Sam Stein on twitter

Assasinations of state senators is NOT common. Maybe if our intelligence agencies and military were doing their jobs, tracking threats online for example, this may have been avoided. Instead, they’re tracking Jose’s bodega and Jesus’s fruit stand #FAIL www.bbc.com/news/article...

We are horrified by these acts of unspeakable political violence. We mourn with the state and the families. As of now, we are proceeding with the No Kings event. 1/3

In the past week, a union leader has been arrested, a U.S. Rep charged with a crime, a U.S. Senator violently handcuffed, and reporters shot with rubber bullets and detained. There is no ambiguity. This is a regime operating as an authoritarian. Americans who believe in liberty must oppose it.

With or without documentation, simply due to skin color.

Undocumented immigrants contribute nearly $100 billion in taxes every year. Meanwhile, the wealthiest 1% dodge $163 billion in taxes annually. The real drain on America isn’t coming from the border — it’s coming from the boardroom.

REALLY BAD

The most important words of our Constitution are the first three: We the People. We have no Kings here, no monarchs, no slaves and no subjects. We the People.

Ahead of the #NoKingsProtest tomorrow, take a look at the very real coup attempt Trump and Kristy Noem are facilitating in California against Senator Alex Padilla. Democracy is under viscous attack. Our very worst fears are coming true ⬇️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJrT...

We’ve uncovered fraud, waste, and abuse! ICE has now exceeded its congressionally approved budget. ICE is violating the Antideficiency Act by spending beyond Congressional authorization.

Even though it's tiring, I think it's essential to consistently point out that this is illegal.

Trumpism proceeds by the successive breaking of taboos. Each time a new one is broken, the previous one is normalized, made to look not so bad by comparison. The cuffing of Padilla was a red-line moment. https://trib.al/soZ0D2H

What if the male loneliness epidemic could be cured by the men afflicted with it not doing things that make everyone else want to stay away from them?

Until @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social begin holding DAILY pressers answering why masked…who tf knows??…without badges or warrants are kidnapping people and putting children in zip ties, no one in the Democratic Party is getting a cent. Stop with these. 👇🏽 Not happening. +…

This is how it’s done! FRIDAY: South Park, San Diego, neighbors weren’t having it. When ICE rolled up on an Italian restaurant in unmarked cars and started grabbing workers, the community hit the streets. (Sound up)

How bad will it be? Catastrophic. Proposed cuts to #NSF, #NIH, and #NASA will set the US R&D landscape back 25 yrs+, cause economic and job loss now, and undermine innovations to come. But, this is the WH's *proposed* budget. Speak up now before it is too late. (inflation adjusted $-s below)

Counterpoint: you actually did vote to deport moms. What part of “mass deportations now” did you not understand?

The myths and fabrications persistently shared by the Health and Human Services Secretary aren’t just disappointing – they’re dangerous. See below for the facts and for our full statement in response to the Secretary’s comments.

The new GOP tax bill gives the richest Americans (making over $4.3 million) an average tax cut of over $389k—while working families earning $17k-$51k will lose $700 a year on average. It’s a slap in the face to hardworking families who need tax relief the most.

We want to call out a blatant lie spread by Elon Musk. Under his leadership, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) claimed that 40% of calls to the Social Security Administration (SSA) were fraudulent. That’s been thoroughly debunked. An internal review of over 110,000

“This is so that people making over $1 million… can get a $90,000 average tax cut.” — @jonfavs.bsky.social Republicans in Congress want to cut Medicaid, raise health costs, and take food from kids—all to give millionaires and billionaires a tax break. We won't let them. #ProtectMedicaid

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 64 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Where is the daily briefing from the Dem Shadow Cabinet? At this point not making this part of the daily media diet of the country seems negligent, political malpractice and a form of capitulation.

"Under the annual appropriations act, lawmakers are permitted to enter 'any facility operated by or for DHS used to detain or otherwise house aliens.' The law is clear that members of Congress are not required 'to provide prior notice of intent to enter a facility'..." www.cnn.com/2025/05/10/p...

This is a full scale war on our Democracy and Freedom. www.axios.com/2025/05/10/t...

Kash Patel is the living definition of waste, fraud, and abuse—all on the taxpayer’s dime. Flying private to see his girlfriend, skipping critical meetings, and totally unfit for the job he was never qualified for in the first place. But hey… playing FBI Director is rough work.
