We are living in hell I wonder what the Washington Post's "unapologetically patriotic" coverage of the Pentagon Papers and Watergate would have looked like

What they aren’t showing on Fox News

Reminder that I AM LATINA AND PROUD. I am the product of immigration - my grandmother was undocumented and entered the country from Mexico as a baby. My mother was a fierce, gorgeous Latina woman of Mexican and Spanish descent.

The WSJ news pages expands on the NYT: since Stephen Miller demanded ICE increase its numbers, they’ve started grabbing people without even checking their immigration status, let alone their criminal history. Gift link: www.wsj.com/us-news/prot...

If you haven’t heard of Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove… you have now. When she stepped out from the back without missing a beat, I knew it was on🔥 @kamlager-dove.house.gov

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

👏👏👏👏

@repmaxinewaters.bsky.social pleads with National Guard to not use their guns, yesterday.

Tom Homan says he was taken out of context by a reporter when he threatened to arrest Gavin Newsom. "The NBC reporter that interviewed me is very dishonest. We did a 20 minute interview and he cuts out a little clip and takes my words out of context." Jonathan Lemire: "NBC stands by its reporting"

NEW: Hegseth is deploying Marines against U.S. citizens. Mayor Bass says to know your rights :

Truth-tellers, not rioters. Protect these two men at all costs. “You feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history.” “John Lewis said make good trouble… that means make trouble on behalf of democracy.”

Veteran @duckworth.senate.gov delivers a strong #CupOfJoe. If it was really about celebrating military families, we could put $30 million toward helping them offset the cost of their child care, food assistance & tuition. We have no king. Go to nokings.org.

Are we great yet?

I hope they both lose this fight.

i cant breathe right 😂 www.cnn.com/politics/liv...

I really don't like to cry in public 🥲 but the injustice of Black Portlanders getting robbed of their generational wealth at the hands of our city was too much to bear. I'm so happy we unanimously increased the settlement payout from 2 to 8.5 million. It's NOT ENOUGH but still an important step. 🫶🏾

Amazing. Respect the lede.

I agree 💯.

After MAGA Commerce Secretary Lutnick replies to Congresswoman Madeleine Dean’s comment about Walmart increasing prices for bananas by 8% with “If you build in America, there is no tariff,” she humiliates him with her response: “We cannot build bananas in America." 🤣🔥

AOC: The girls are fighting aren’t they

Oh chile, this is about to get CINEMATIC. THEATRICAL.

Chris Murphy: "We can't be preparing for the 2026 election. It might not come. All of our focus right now has to be on protecting the democracy, about stopping the corruption."

After the last election I don't assume anything is free and fair anymore

Oh I know das mfkin right

Last night Putin killed a 1-year-old. The president of the United States told him it was ok to do it.

Heartbreaking that I agree with anything he’s ever said…but he’s right. Kill. This. Bill. Call everyone you can. Share. Talk offline. We have to.

very fun to read frederick douglass accurately describe the problem with the pardon power in 1867

Welcome to Disgraceful America...

They could’ve been our second family. Still breaks my heart.

My soul despises seeing the wealthiest people abusing the poorest. It doesn't get any more evil than that.

Sports coverage is making a significant mistake in NOT recognizing that Coco Gauff is the show. She’s got it. Sports media is missing the boat. Again. www.tennis.com/news/article...

Louisiana lawmakers are garbage! Forcing a 9 yr old to give birth to her rapist’s baby is beyond appalling! Nasty, hypocritical, inbred, lawmakers know damn well they’d fly their child to a blue state to end the pregnancy in a heartbeat! 🤬 #SheShed #Pinks #ChildPregnacy www.nola.com/gambit/news/...

DEAN: What's the tariff on bananas? LUTNICK: Generally 10% DEAN: Walmart has already increased the cost of bananas by 8% LUTNICK: If you build in America, there is no tariff DEAN: We cannot build bananas in America
