Impressed once again by Jasmine Crockett but the very idea that an administration would fight this hard to keep this wonderful father out of the country when he has done nothing wrong is completely reprehensible. #USDemocracy youtu.be/fW4FWGSZig4?...

I don't know . . . maybe it wasn't such a good idea to give so much power to a mean-spirited simpleton with no empathy.

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

This is historic. The longest filibuster was in 1957, 24 hours & 18 minutes, AGAINST the Civil Rights act. If someone can speak hate for 24 hours, Cory Booker can go much longer in the DEFENSE of all American Citizens. Go Cory! Watch live! www.youtube.com/live/v2utlMx...

I want you all to remember astronaut Dr. Mae Jemison, the first Black woman in space, came from seeing Nichelle Nichols as Lieutenant Uhura on Star Trek as a child and believing it was possible. That's why Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. urged Nichols to stay on the show, because representation MATTERS.

Note to editors and producers: If an executive order demands action that is illegal or outside of the president’s authority, then you should not describe it as ordering something. You should say it seeks to achieve some outcome and then note it is illegal or beyond the power of the president.

#ProudBlue The Downers Grove Library (IL) is stepping up to help people who need to see someone from Social Security. FYI, if you’re in the area… other libraries may be doing the same. Another reason the GOP will be attacking them.

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

Himes: "Apparently all this mayhem is cheered by the president of the United States and by 20-somethings with laptops and names like Big Balls. But I've been doing this for a long time, and I know that Moscow and Beijing and Tehran and Pyongyang cannot believe their luck."

At this point there is little to doubt: Secretary Hegseth shared highly classified information in an unsecured group chat. He should resign. And Congressional Republicans should join us in demanding accountability for this grievous screwup.

Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could’ve gotten our pilots killed. He needs to resign in disgrace immediately.
