"Migrants, may the odds be ever in your favor.” - Kristi Noem

A Member of Congress —who was at the facility today with the Newark mayor — told Alicia Menendez on air tonight that the Newark mayor was *invited* into the detention facility. And then when he left, ICE arrested him for trespass!

I hate that the thanks for donating to a Democratic candidate is having my phone number sold on a list to a hundred other campaigns, all of whom send me passive-aggressive texts asking for my donation, often weirdly attempting a guilt trip, as though I knew them. I really don’t like that.

My new hat! Proudly wear it EVERYWHERE! I’ve even had people ask me about his service, and thank him, posthumously. #onlygoodnaziisdeadnazi #DDayhonor

I asked if I could take his picture. Yes. I stepped across a band of shit. The pigeons began to frighten. Too close. A cloud of gray & blue & pink rushed at me. He looked up. Bare of birds. He said nothing. I stepped back. The birds returned. Together they ate. He said “Now,” & I took my picture.

HAPPENING NOW: Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was just taken into custody while protesting outside the Delaney Hall ICE detention center

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey mayor is arrested at ICE detention center where he was protesting its opening, acting US attorney says.

I like him already Pope Leo XIV "JD VANCE IS WRONG "

FEMA's acting administrator is replaced a day after congressional testimony. The abrupt change came the day after Cameron Hamilton, a former Navy SEAL, who held the position testified on Capitol Hill, he did not agree with proposals to dismantle an organization. #MomSky apnews.com/article/fema...

Maxwell Frost and Chris Murphy are holding town halls in GOP districts, calling out Republicans for hiding and siding with billionaires. They’re being honest, getting cheers, and showing how we heal this country and take it back together. I’m beginning to have some hope again.

Donald Trump not imposing *any* tariffs on Russia is all the more revealing as he is levying them on our closest ally, the United Kingdom. Anything to win Putin's affection.

Oh my…

We’re just nicer that way.

These aren't tariffs. They are a horse's head in the bed of (almost) every world government and business leader.

I’ll file legislation to take away this madman “president’s” ability to put tariffs on us like this! Since he can’t control his brainless urges, it’s time to reign him in! Any Repub who refuses to discharge this bill to the floor is a co-signer of this mess. It’s time to fight these people back!

Cory Booker just gave the longest speech in the history of Congress and concluded by apologizing to everyone who had to stay up all night keeping the chamber open and operating.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Current and former U.S. military pilots expressed bewilderment after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth refused to acknowledge that he should not have disclosed sensitive information in an unsecured group chat. “If you can’t admit when you’re wrong, you’re going to kill somebody,” one pilot said.

Are there any Dems in Utah who can stand up for the good folks in Ogden ? Their town could soon face their own Great Recession

We are still 30 minutes from starting and we’re packed to the rafters for the Darrell Issa Empty Chair Town Hall!! @maddow.msnbc.com @velshi.bsky.social @indivisible.org

Oof, my heart goes out to the researcher recruiting “immigrant parents” for their research study by email. I know how long it takes to get a study to the recruitment stage, and the world may benefit from your work, but this is not the time to be making lists of immigrants in the US.

“The morning son is a drug that brings me here“ JOY DIVISION?

This one says it clearly

Welcome to autocracy. The Republic we have known for the last 240 years is gone. This is going to keep getting worse. Much worse. The courts mean nothing, the law means nothing, Congress is irrelevant. He is a malignant psychopath.

I’m not exactly sure how yet, but somehow Trump is going to blame Zelensky for Putin’s refusal to sign a cease fire agreement.

I am begging blue state governors to have lunch this week with your adjutant general of the National Guard. Cannot stress enough how important this relationship is going to be in the near future.

We’re bombing Yemen, alienating our allies, and the stock market just lost $5 trillion—but don’t worry! Trump won a rigged golf tournament, so everything is just fine!

So who decides now if someone is a gang member or if someone has a valid asylum claim under the law? Tom Homan? A random ICE agent? A local Sheriff’s deputy? A neighbor? An informant? So they just say a person is in a gang and they get disappeared to a prison in El Salvador?

#GVerse #Attention: The Whitehouse is removing all women from the names at Arlington Cemetery! 😡😡😡😡😡😡 Repost!!! This is unacceptable, make them hear you!

Bernie Sanders Is Showing Democrats How It’s Done

Stop the madness!

This is blatant defiance of the court order. It was NOT too late. When the judge issued is order, two planes were in the air, and a third took off from Texas AFTER the order.

We don't spend a penny on marketing. It's all word of mouth for @costplusdrugs.com That's how we keep prices so low. Please spread the word !

A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill. Do not let anyone play games with you.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

These Dems finally went on the offense against the GOP during these must-watch moments. Listen to the latest MeidasTouch Podcast (links below): Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d... Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/41Tv...

@schumer.senate.gov If you vote for cloture you are a stain on this country’s history that will never go away. You are willingly passing power to a tyrant in waiting, and you are a disgrace to every oath of office any senator has ever sworn. Your legacy will be one of cowardice and contempt.
