Biden tried to make community college free, but the Republicans blocked him. Because of Trump's dementia, he can't remember this and apparently most Republicans have caught his dementia.

I was hesitant to write this obituary. Struggle as I might, I don’t have a grand life lesson of his life; nor I any clear meaning to make of his death. I’m just heartbroken that he’s gone. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/in-m...

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.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s DOGE-bros have decimated our nation’s weather warning system and are putting lives at risk. It’s irresponsible, and it will cause devastation. We need to elect a Democratic Congress and stop them. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Remember the 2nd case like Abrego Garcia, involving the gay man deported to Mexico n/w/s having been terrorized and held for ransom there? Judge Murphy orders the US to bring him back. not facilitate, not effectuate, bring him back.

Musk’s team was caught using a customized version of the Grok chatbot, without approval, to sift through sensitive government data inside the Department of Homeland Security. They used a modified version in an attempt to hide the fact that they were doing it.

Phang: Putting aside the big bullshit bill that just got passed in the House in the dark hours of the night, DOGE has single-handedly destroyed so much of our federal government. We, as Americans, deserve to know why they have done it, how they have done it, and what they are continuing to do.

The GOP’s “Big Beautiful Bill” is Robin Hood in reverse: it takes from the poor to give to the rich.SNAP (used to be Food Stamps…which Tabby and I used back in 1972) is gone. Medicare is going.

“Take a breath man, it’s not that serious.” Unbelievable statement an ICE agent told a man who collapsed after being handcuffed following his immigration hearing. The overzealous agents had the wrong man & would have kidnapped him had his attorney not insisted in reviewing the arrest warrant.

The Trump administration filed a motion to end the decades-old legal ruling that established basic standards for the treatment and release of migrant children. “The fact that the government refuses to be held accountable to even these most basic standards to keep children safe speaks volumes.”

When he showed up to an immigration meeting in Memphis, Kasper Eriksen thought he was on the verge of becoming a citizen. Then ICE arrested the Mississippi father of four, not even giving him a chance to say goodbye to his wife, whisking him away to a prison. @nickjudin.bsky.social reports:

House GOP is holding a hearing on their tax bill at 1:00 AM because they don't want us to know about their scheme to strip 13.7 million people of health coverage & they think no one will stay awake for it. I’ll be there, testifying & offering amendments to protect our families.

It's 4:58AM & RIGHT NOW House Republicans are holding a vote on their bill to cut Medicaid & SNAP in the hope that no one pays attention. As they smuggle this bill through in the dead of night, my colleagues & I have filed amendments to delay the vote, forcing daylight on their scheme —literally.

Republicans' scorched-earth budget sacrifices our public lands for billionaire tax cuts. Their efforts put at risk: 🏣 60,000+ good-paying clean energy jobs 🌳 13.5 million acres of public lands 🐆 Countless protections for endangered species We MUST put a stop to this madness.

What happened before Mayor Baraka’s arrest needs daylight. Did masked ICE agents let him in just so they could arrest and perp walk him to send a message of fear. Because that’s what it looks like. We’re sliding into fascism—and fast. And if we don’t stop it now, we may not get another chance.
