It's crazy that The Declaration of Independence is basically just "You created ICE so it's time to revolt."

Congressional Switchboard: (202) 224-3121

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.

WARREN: Can POTUS legally tell the IRS to change someone's nonprofit status? BILLY LONG: I'm not able to answer WARREN: You can't read these words and tell me what those words say?! LONG: I can read the statute and I did WARREN: Then tell me what they mean!

The House Rules Committee -- which changes bills however the House speaker tells it to before they hit the House floor -- is meeting Weds at 1am to bring up the GOP's massive tax plan, which strips health insurance from 13.7M people to give tax breaks to rich people. Definitely nothing to see here!

EVOLUTION: ya let's just put the eating pipe and breathing pipe right next to each other. they'll figure it out

None of the 278 men sent to CECOT have been returned. Meanwhile their lawyer has been arrested and "disappeared" in El Salvador.

This secretive arrangement sets a dangerous precedent, suggesting that criminal affiliations can be overlooked for strategic gains, while ordinary individuals face stringent immigration policies. The administration must be held accountable for this hypocrisy. #ElChapoDeal #CartelHypocrisy

The Rules Committee meets at 1 AM on Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning to ram through this disastrous bill. Why? Because they don't want you to see them ripping healthcare from millions of Americans. You do not hold a hearing for a bill at 1 AM unless you're completely ashamed of it.

Just a few weeks ago people were pitching Cory Booker as a front runner for the 2028 Dem presidential nomination. Tonight he was the only Senate Dem to vote to confirm Jared Kushner’s convict dad as ambassador to France. Sheesh.

I stand with Rep. LaMonica McIver. This is a political stunt—point blank.

MAKE NOISE ON THIS ONE‼️ They didn’t just deport him—they sent him to CECOT in El Salvador. Agelviz came here legally through the refugee resettlement program—fully vetted. But when he landed in Houston, CBP snatched him over a tattoo: a clock and a rose. No charges. No record. Just a suspicion.

Ashli’s Babbitt's family just got $5 million - who knew treason came with a pension plan?

We are being sold like livestock to the highest bidder. Everything is for sale. Every spineless Repub in Congress is responsible for this. They repeated the lies & stoked the anger of people too busy and desperate for relief while PICKING THEIR POCKETS. There is no GOP, it's the Fuck America party.

“Sorry, we don’t have enough money for universal healthcare, we’re too busy paying people whose family members tried to overthrow the federal government”

Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.

Make noise people

Leavitt: "He continues to remain committed to the idea of obtaining Greenland in whatever means we can."

"It is offensive to call us the Gestapo when in fact we are simply a Secret State Police force. A Geheime Staatspolizei, if you will."

I’d like work requirements for Congress…

Curious to know what the Salience Bros/popularists would have to say about this polling. Doesn't this strongly suggest that Dems *should* talk about these things a lot more?

Recent news that the administration would be remotely wiping the devices of departing USAID employees risks permanently destroying official government records. We expanded our lawsuit, challenging the agency’s troubling pattern of obstruction. americanoversight.org/american-ove...

The president’s son.

Not only dumb but dangerous AF. This is North Korea level shit.

When did they give The Count freeform locs?

The Federal Park service brought in 55 Billion last year, but only cost the Federal Government 3.5 Billion to run. No waste, fraud and abuse. Just an evil asshole that doesn't want us to have a Park service.

And, as always, E.W. gets it right.

Whenever you hear conservative politicians preach from the gospel of "fiscal responsibility," remember that one of the biggest drivers of deficits lately are the Bush and Trump tax cuts, which have added nearly $10 trillion to the national debt.

Here's a photo we can all post on June 14. You're welcome😁👊

Not a bad idea. 🤔

"Police week" is wrapping up here in Washington DC Still no "Jan 6 plaque" at the Capitol. Despite a law that it must be hung by 2023

The Qatar bribe is *initially* going to the Department of Defense so Donald can avoid paying for jet fuel, pilots, and maintenance. It is *then* going to his "Library" so Donald can can continue avoiding personally paying such costs--and avoid paying taxes. The entire scheme is a scam.

So, uh, Kevin Spacey is getting a lifetime achievement award at Cannes…in case you were concerned about how #MeToo is ruining abusive people’s lives.

They found no fraud—just a new way to screw over retirees at Silicon Valley speed.

😳

Sunked in

Well, we thought it might happen but hoped it wouldn't. DHS is requesting from the Pentagon 20,000 National Guard to assist them in deportations. This. Is. America. #ProudBlue www.npr.org/2025/05/15/n...

This is how for-profit healthcare works: You pay a private company to help cover your healthcare expenses. Your doctor has to ask this company before treating you. The private company then decides if they will cover it. If they say “no,” they make more money. It’s immoral.

CHATTANOOGA TFP: “@TNHighwayPatrol applied for a task force model to let state troopers enforce activities under ICE supervision… would join 16 other states & 140+ law enforcement agencies...” TLDR: THP is officially an arm of the Trump regime. www.timesfreepress.com/news/2025/ma...

🚨They're coming after abortion pills🚨 After saying we shouldn't take medical advice from him, RFK Jr. has directed the FDA to re-review mifepristone regulations, based on a junk science “report” from anti-abortion groups with no medical backing or peer review.

"The FBI is disbanding a squad in its Washington field office that investigates allegations of fraud and public corruption against members of Congress and other federal officials, people familiar with the matter said Thursday." Oh, come on! apnews.com/article/fbi-...
