They just love them some Putin.

If ANYONE can be picked off the street and sent away without due process, EVERYONE can be picked off the street and sent away without due process… youtube.com/shorts/0_U6h...

As a criminal defense attorney, the vast majority of my cases were NOT immigrants. So let's stop pretending immigrants are the problem when there's a 34-count convicted felon sitting in the White House. The hypocrisy is outrageous.

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

“No one, apparently, is willing to prevent a single man from destroying the world economy, wrecking financial markets, forcing this country and other countries into recession – if that’s what he feels like doing when he gets up tomorrow morning.” Anne Applebaum

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks. We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

The so-called “SAVE” Act claims to solve a problem that does not exist. This bill will disenfranchise millions of Americans, while costing taxpayers billions of dollars. This is a clear and direct attack on our democracy and the right to vote.

Let’s be clear what Trump is saying here: Income taxes are disproportionately paid by the wealthy. Tariffs hit all Americans, disproportionately hurting working people. Trump wants everyday Americans to pay more and the wealthy to pay less.

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

We introduced another resolution today in the Senate to put a halt on all of Donald Trump’s global tariffs that are costing American families. We’re going to force a vote. youtube.com/shorts/A7P_V...

Kidnapping. Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping. Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking. A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.

I do not think it is a coincidence that Trump and Karoline Leavitt are both floating the “US Citizens sent to El Salvador” a few days after massive, distributed anti-Trump protests. It is a threat, and we need to be louder and angrier than ever before on behalf of everyone who has been sent.

This week, Congress could simply remove Trump's power over tariffs. It's all delegated from Congress. But instead

Massive #HandsOff rallies across the country 🔥🔥🔥

Tell me again why we’re letting a 78 year old, legit smelly, odorous, frail, loser old man who bankrupted a CASINO bankrupt the country? Congress? Any answers?

A two bit talentless fuck wit, who attended the WH to kiss the ass of the village idiot, who believes, he is the World’s smartest genius. That right there folks, is what has got us to this massive clusterfuck.

“National Emergency” 🤬

Just got to the Mall and saw this sign, which no one is going to top. #HandsOff2025

Don’t let them steal your vote

This asshole raised prices and ruined your retirement savings, and now he's out golfing for the rest of the weekend.

he…..he actually posted this

Jeffries: The notion that everyday Americans need to absorb pain brought on by Donald Trump and his group of MAGA billionaires is ridiculous. Every single House and Senate Republican supporting this needs to be thrown out of office.

Show some gratitude to the financial geniuses in the White House, America!

Remember folks, Republicans in the Legislative Branch are running the show. And could stop it but choose not to.

Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.
