🚨 HEY #CONNECTICUT: Republicans are targeting 322,000 of you on Medicaid via ACA expansion, but don't forget the 147,000 who are *also* at risk of seeing their health insurance premiums SKYROCKET starting in January 2026 if they allow IRA subsidies to expire. acasignups.net/25/01/23/how...

Trump’s ICE deported 3 American kids. One is 4 years old with stage four cancer.
Another’s mom is pregnant. No meds. No prenatal care. No due process. This ain’t “tough on immigration”—it’s sick.

Wow

Gutsy, gutsy move here.

I would argue that Father Time has already been hard on Pam Bondi. Man, once History piles on….wheeew.

Brave statement

The professor at the Naval academy calling out an admiral. The judge in Wisconsin refusing to hold court. Greg in IT at Social Security forcing DOGE to literally drag him from his chair. American heroes showing true bravery while Senators shrug saying "what do you want us to do, we're scared"

No, we're in this situation because 57% of white voters who voted chose hate and racism over progress and solidarity. According to the 2020 US Census, the two largest racial demographics in the US are: White (alone) 75.3% Black (alone) 13.7% We literally are the predominant voting bloc.

Pew Research poll: Trump approval 40% approve 59% disapprove U.S. adults

Donald Trump ordered the Department of Justice to investigate the leading platform through which Democrats raise money for their campaigns. Less that 100 days in, Trump is weaponizing DOJ to prevent his political opponents from funding opposition campaigns. Where is the outrage?

he’s right and he’s right to say it

I’ll drink to that

NEW: A SECOND story was released today of a Venezuelan man disappeared by the Trump admin. Neiyerver Leon is a barber who entered legally seeking asylum in June 2023. ICE arrested him on March 13 and accused him of being in TdA. Days later, he vanished off the face of the earth.

In THIS administration we value WARFIGHTERS who WARFIGHT the enemy and if you’re not WARFIGHTING the enemy to DEATH we don’t want you in the DEPARTMENT OF WARFIGHTING, take your “logistics” and “intelligence” BULLSHIT somewhere else this place is for WARFIGHTING WARFIGHTERS WHO WARFIGHT. GRRR!

Bring. GarcĂ­a. Home.

Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

impeach. convict. remove. rinse. repeat.

Staple this to RFK Jr’s forehead.

That is a HILARIOUSLY obvious photoshop job. It frankly wouldn’t make any difference if the guy WERE MS13, but there’s no evidence for it and I don’t know how anyone with functioning eyes could think that’s real.

Like Lindsey Graham before him, Marco Rubio is currently defining what it means to abandon absolutely every principle one used to hold dear. Today he shrugged at the idea that we might need to “move on” from supporting Ukraine. But here’s how he used to sound:

I suspect Trump doesn't want to call attention to this assassination attempt bc so much of his 2nd Term propaganda is built off a claim that surviving assassination attempts is proof he (Trump) was picked by God to save the country.

I don't understand how some folks are unable to see that the illegal disappearing of people is a class issue. The wealthy and well-connected get due process. The rest of us don't. This is part of the oligarchy, not a distraction from it.

BREAKING: Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez has been released. This is the moment he reunited with his mom.

Update: 96-year-old’s bank account was cleaned out by Social Security on the grounds that he had been dead for a while and they were reclaiming benefits SS had paid to the allegedly but not actually dead man. He now has no money. DOGE strikes again. Anybody know a lawyer for this?

Wouldn’t it be simpler to just say it’s not credible?

chris van hollen cucked impotent don you love to see it

Props to @vanhollen.senate.gov for doing his duty as a sworn member of the Legislative Branch and looking out for his constituents. I know for our MAGA friends, they have only one constituent, but Van Hollen just broke some of the DC Trump spell, giving the courts a chance to do THEIR job.

On June 6 veterans will march in DC to demonstrate that our oaths to the Constitution still hold. This is not partisan; it’s about service, particularly the essential work of veterans in the government and those who care for them. Unite4veterans.org www.military.com/daily-news/2...

I just can’t imagine being so smug about harming some of the most vulnerable humans in our society. Ugly ugly ugly.

Cuomo is essentially telling New Yorkers that he won't stand up to Trump. Having this guy as mayor would be very, very bad. Don't rank him.

Please share! A U.S. born citizen has been arrested in Florida and placed in an ICE hold!! They want to transfer him to immigration detention DESPITE acknowledgment he is a citizen. This is happening in Leon County and we were at his hearing earlier this morning.

Say more, Senator. Who, specifically, are you afraid of? Who do they work for? To which political party do they belong? What are they doing/saying in particular to make you afraid? Why will you not explicitly call out the perpetrators and organizers of this mass campaign of terror?

“I can…assure you that were this a Republican president…targeting Democrats, I at least would speak out just as vigorously against it because if we are going to respect rule of law, the apparatus of the federal government cannot and should not be used as a partisan tool to bludgeon your enemies."

TAX BREAKS FOR BILLIONAIRES = CUTS TO SOCIAL SECURITY The MAGA Republican plan is a slap in the face to everyone, who has worked their whole life for a comfortable retirement. Stealing our hard-earned benefits to reward corrupt billionaires like Elon Musk will hurt them on election day in 2026.

Disappearing people without any due process is fascism — full stop. I’m sick to my stomach and we all should be.

Mangled is such a great word. it absolutely sounds like what it means. Like spatula. That thing has to be called a spatula.

I said it before and I’ll say it again: Target not only turned its back on diversity it spit in our faces. My wife and I haven’t been back since January — and we won’t be. We take our money where people like us are seen, valued, and respected. Solidarity ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏻
