Hiring your friends to run a $200 million anti-immigrant ad campaign funded by taxpayer dollars is incredibly corrupt. They shouldn't be spending your money like this.

👀 Jasmine Crockett is deciding this month whether to run for senate.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Welcome to the end of our trust!

Are we winning yet?

Free speech in action Marco Rubio's State Department will ban any foreigner from entering the country who celebrated the assassination of Charlie Kirk online, Deputy Secretary of State Chris Landau confirms.

Pritzker: Neither Texas nor the FBI at the federal level has the authority to arrest these Texas Democrats They’re welcome to visit to take in the great views and enjoy the incredible restaurants we have. But they won’t be taking anyone home with them, or out of the state.

Fed’l prosecutors dismissed charges against a Florida woman whose lawyer is Brad Bondi, the AG’s brother. The client is a former GOP lawmaker accused of Covid relief fraud. abcnews.go.com/US/woman-acc...

NEW: Police bodycam footage introduced at the trial of Jared Wise showed him berating police officers on Jan. 6, 2021, and yelling "kill 'em" as rioters attacked law enforcement. He’s now working as a senior adviser for the Department of Justice.

NEW: The Department of Veterans Affairs just terminated union contracts including AFL-CIO (AFGE), NAGE, NFFE, SEIU, and nursing unions NNOC and NNU. nurse.org/news/va-term...

Republicans in Texas just rolled out their proposed Congressional map that cut 5 Democratic seats out of thin air. Let’s be clear: these maps are not about representation, it’s a power grab to silence voters and suppress votes. (1/2)

Earlier this Spring, I found a Great Horned Owl sitting on a nest. After keeping an eye on the location for a few weeks, I was rewarded with getting to watch these four owlets emerge and begin exploring the world. #wildlife #birds #owls

Now THAT's a cease and desist letter

💢 Zelenskyy on Putin: He is not human in terms of humanity, for him this war is his life

AOC: "On this point of tax on tips, as one of the only people in this body who has lived off of tips, I want to tell you a little bit about the scam ... the cap on that is $25,000 while you're jacking up taxes on people who make less than $50,000 across the US ... while kicking them off the ACA."

Someone who says this should be banished from the WH.

I removed the words "from its records" from the end of the CNN subheadline here so that we can fully understand what is happening And I am sure no one will object to me erasing three words from a news report that blithely discusses erasing an entire human being

I went to the House Floor to stop the cuts to SNAP and Medicaid. Republicans blocked it—wouldn’t even consider it. So let’s be clear: they know exactly what this bill will do. And they do. not. care.

Oh 😑

Greenberg: We're looking to the leaders who will fight for us, because even today there are folks among the Democratic Party who think we should roll over and play dead. Anyone seeing John Fetterman here today?

Yesssssss… I love this 🙌🏼

(🧵) I’ve never—in 30 years in journalism—published a report like this: one that could genuinely bring hope. I spent the last 15 hours curating and labeling photos from hundreds of No Kings Day protests. It’s the largest archive of its kind and it has *lots* of Easter eggs (memes, an essay and more).

🇺🇦 Zelensky: Tonight, air defense destroyed 167 aerial targets used by Russia to attack Ukraine. The strike mainly targeted the Poltava region. This month alone, Russia has already used around 2,800 attack drones, nearly 3,000 guided aerial bombs, and 140 missiles of various types against Ukraine.

☢️‼️ The Russians have been poisoning Ukrainian military personnel with chemical weapons in the Siversk direction for three weeks in a row, — press service of the "Rubizh" brigade NGU

I love this Native woman’s spunk! However this should NEVER have happened.

Sen. Alex Padilla was just removed from Kristi Noem's press conference in Los Angeles (video: Bill Melugin/Fox News)

What happened to Senator Padilla is absolutely DISGUSTING. Point blank, period. This shit is out of control. Another elected official disrespected while doing their job. (1/2)

Today, in the House Oversight Committee, Republicans called in governors from so-called “sanctuary states” to try and bully them over immigration policy. They want y’all to think this hearing is about solutions. But let’s be honest—it’s not about fixing the system.

We are going to double tap this today as our Spam in the Gears.

Robert Malone, a mainstay in conspiratorial circles, and Martin Kulldorff, a coauthor of the widely criticized Great Barrington Declaration, are two of the most concerning picks. www.wired.com/story/rfk-jr...

“Pretty much wherever you are, you’re probably less than 30 minutes away from your closest No Kings event.” - @leahgreenberg.bsky.social with @democracynow.org We hope to see you at your local #NoKings Day mobilization on Saturday: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Being uninvited from the White House caused Rand Paul to lose a lot of the respect he had for Donald Trump that Trump’s two impeachments, insurrection, four criminal indictments, criminal conviction, and sexual abuse damages verdict did not cause him to lose. Got it.

Judge in the lower federal courts are trying to play a role that are not used to, trying to wake up the public to what's going on, while remaining true to their constitutional role.

🇺🇦❗️🇺🇸 Zelensky: Trump doesn't feel all the pain of Ukrainians. 💯 Putin is a maniac with whom there is no need to talk about anything. He must be isolated from people, — Zelensky

In LA, officers deployed tear gas and shot rubber bullets at protesters fighting against ICE raids. Here’s a reminder that those anti-protest weapons—which are billed as relatively safe—can actually cause serious harm.

First they illegally deport citizens. Then they unleash ICE to terrorize communities. Now they’ve got the National Guard in L.A. to silence protestors. This ain’t about law and order. This is what authoritarianism looks like.

President Zelensky and First Lady in a bomb shelter with children who today received the Future of Ukraine awards. This is resilience. This is war.
