We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law. A new generation that gives meaning to the “we” in “we the people.” Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as the future.

If faux 🦊 news was a credible News media they would not spread the lies they do every day. When media companies lie they should have to pay.

They bend every law, they break every law, they hack voting machines, they deploy roving gangs of thugs to steal people off the street, they openly embrace racism, they lie nonstop, they incite political violence, and much more. Their evil knows no limits. Then they claim to be followers of Jesus.

The beginning of Pride🏳️‍🌈month began with Jonathan Joss's brutal, heartbreaking murder, and is ending with the Supreme Court allowing discrimination in schools. This is why this month is needed more than ever. This country is more violent and openly bigoted than I've ever seen it in my lifetime.

“Is there any sign of life?” “Have we heard a heartbeat?” “Does she feel any kicking?” “We don’t have the equipment to do that.” That’s the full 911 audio from a nurse inside an ICE detention center near Denver, calling for help as a four-months-pregnant woman bled and cried out in pain.

I love how the right is trying to scare us by saying the United States is turning into one of those European countries with great mass transit and free healthcare.

Miami just canceled its November election & pushed it to 2026. No public vote, just canceled. Mayor Suarez & Joe Carollo get to stick around an extra year. This feels like a power grab. If one city can delay elections for “participation,” what’s to stop others from doing it to silence opposition?

Bondi just said DHS is helping rid us of criminals from the Sinaloa Cartel, but she failed to mention the asylum she gave to family members of the Sinaloa Cartel. She also said we're ridding the country of MS-13, but failed to mention the asylum she's giving to MS-13 leaders in the Abrego case.

Do they really think they can scare us with the word “socialist” when they are literally sending out men in masks with no warrants and no badges to disappear people off American streets? I know what I’m scared of, and it’s not a socialist.

He's right. We can't have it both ways on the racism. We wouldn't let anyone else... we can't have it both ways on the sexual predator thing either. ie Cuomo et al

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

Ted Cruz just said Mr. Abrego has been charged with Human Trafficking. Cruz proclaims "I read every word of that indictment!" Apparently not, because Abrego was not charged with human trafficking. I hope this comes up in a motion to dismiss the charges.

It is completely unacceptable that the Administration is unwilling to brief Congress on the strikes in Iran. We have to make sure this regime never acquires a nuclear weapon. At the same time, the Constitution means what it says. Only Congress has the power to declare war.
