If you didn't believe us before, they are kidnapping people in broad daylight. Wherever they are, to take them god knows where, and we know what they do before they deport them. Unjustly. All of this is unjust, inhumane. Stop and frisk was simply training for this heightened profiling.

This is how you cause good trouble, a group of protesters peacefully protesting a fundraiser for MAGA Republican Mike Lawler (R-NY). Watch how Lawler’s supporters react and they say Democrats are the snowflakes! Cry harder, MAGA tears are delicious!

Quinoa is grown all over now but 20 years ago it was almost unknown. USAID, working with countries in the Andean region, helped develop and popularize the nutritious grain, thereby raising living standards and reducing food insecurity. It’s just one example of what we’ve lost.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Graham Stewart is the CONSERVATIVE MP for Beverley and Holderness in the UK. He's right. Trump is a Russian asset. Also, it demonstrates that true conservatives in other countries understand the threat posed by Russia, unlike the Kremlin-owned Republican Party in the US.

It's clear this administration is weaponizing the government. I can't think of a greater threat to democracy than a guy like Musk, set free by Trump—who was duly elected but has outsourced & privatized his administration to an oligarch billionaire & his billionaire buddies. youtu.be/UGFnDPjN7Lw

WELP. They sent everyone home, and now they've just reopened the series and put the bill back on the floor. Members had left Capitol Hill for the night, now they are turning around and driving back, I've never seen this happen before in 10+ years working here

While you weren't looking, Trump rolled back Biden's ethics rules prohibiting executive branch employees from accepting major gifts from lobbyists. So much for "drain the swamp."
