During my unannounced visit to the ICE detention facility at 26 Fed, I saw detainees sleeping on thin mats under foil blankets & learned DHS is reconsidering deportations of Venezuelans back to a chaotic regime. This is unacceptable. I’ll return weekly to conduct oversight & monitor conditions.

Every one of Mike's suggestions is basically "write a strongly worded letter that I, a person financially and professionally incentivized to hate everything you do, will approve of." Speeches are letters read aloud. Rallies are letters read to friends. Press conferences are letters with Q&A.

I'm announcing loan commitments from major lenders and expanded state mortgage relief for Angelenos whose home were damaged by last January's firestorms. Deeply grateful to our partners for stepping up to help fill the gaps where the federal government is falling short.

Greenland belongs to its people. The Trump admin's reckless statements are destabilizing, dangerous, and undermine the very foundation of Article 5 and the NATO alliance. The American people voted for affordability at home, not threats to invade our closest friends abroad.

Sprained my wrist falling out of a portajohn while wearing NVGs and a full set of combat gear because they had put them on pallets and I was too tired to realize I had stepped UP when I went to use it at 0 dark 30. Since NVGs don't show elevation changes well, I didn't step down and toppled.

Biden treated the media like people on here say the media should be treated, threw them out of the DNC and replaced them with small media, and then they whined about bad messaging because the news sided with Trump and spent the entire campaign slandering Dems as a result. What did you expect?

Officers like @libradunn1.bsky.social saved my life and my colleagues’ lives on January 6th. I’m forever grateful to the law enforcement officials who courageously defended our Capitol and our democracy from the armed insurrectionists.

Crockett: "Everyone wants to talk about how Maduro was illegitimate. As we sit here on January 6, I do want to be clear: somebody else was trying to be a Maduro of the United States. Somebody else wanted to do the exact same thing. The difference is Maduro was successful."

Andy Kim picking up trash after violent insurrectionists stormed the Capitol on January 6.

A LOT of whining about this undeniable fact in the threads. Ultimately voters chose, either tacitly or directly, for Trump to be their next President in 2024. There was absolutely nothing Biden, Garland, or Smith could've done to keep him off the ballot because the SCOTUS was in his pocket.

Lt. Gov. on being a Democrat: "It's the right thing to do because being a Republican right now only means one thing — you just bow down to Donald Trump and accept whatever bad idea…You've gotta be a rubber stamp on Trump, and I'm not willing to do that."

Five years ago today, the United States Capitol was attacked in a violent insurrection incited by the President of the United States for one purpose: to overturn a free and fair election and cling to power in clear violation of the Constitution.

Yet five years later, Trump continues to rewrite and sanitize history, including by pardoning more than 1,600 January 6 rioters and insurrectionists — dozens of whom have since committed additional crimes. (3/4)

Five years ago today, Donald Trump urged his supporters to attack Congress and the Capitol over a proven lie. More than 140 police officers were injured. Trump then pardoned the attackers. He betrayed his oath and his country, and we won't ever forget it.

Five years ago today, our nation and our democracy experienced one of its darkest days.

If you didn't vote for Kamala STFU about the Dems needing to do something. You had a chance to give them power.

Chris Murphy: "At some level he's winning tonight because clearly part of his intent here was to distract the American people -- you and I -- from what's happening here at home. You have 20 million families who are getting massive increases in their healthcare premiums. People will die."

Donald Trump & Republicans let the ACA tax credits expire despite having bipartisan support to extend them. Now, premiums are skyrocketing for working families while billionaires cash in on new tax breaks. This is what happens when the President calls affordability a hoax.

This is what Captain and Senator Mark Kelly posted on Facebook. Please read every word.

My friend @governorwalz.mn.gov has been a dedicated public servant from his time in the National Guard to Governor of Minnesota. Everywhere he goes he carries with him his Midwestern values of kindness and standing up for working families. Thankful for his service and sacrifice.

California landlords are now REQUIRED to provide working refrigerators and stoves in all rental units. Providing essential appliances is just common sense.

By the way folks, THAT is the key person who decides what happens to any impeachment motion. He is chair of the house judiciary committee, and without his approval no motion for impeachment, whether privileged or via discharge petition, will receive a hearing on the house floor.

Statement from she who should have been our President.

Minnesota, we’ve got to circle the wagons around Governor Walz. Do not concede a DAMN thing to his detractors. Do not hesitate, do not hedge.

Good exterminator told the homeowner that this was not a "cure" because they had let the house get infested, and they would need treatments every four years for the foreseeable future. Also, Good Exterminators told them that if they didn't change their ways, the bugs would return.

If you can't stomach the idea of protesting directly at Republicans because they don't listen, you aren't part of the solution. You are part of the problem. ICE doesn't listen to anyone either. You still stand in the goddamn way.

Hi, former recruiter here. A lot of misconceptions here that really should be corrected if you actually want to you know, keep your kid from joining the military. Let's delve into how recruiting ACTUALLY works, and maybe that way we can create an actual playbook, shall we? 1/x

For nonlawyers, it’s worth noting that statements like this have—as a formal matter—important legal effects as a matter of international law. If such statements are *not* made, and in volume, future arguments that Trump’s invasion sets a legal precedent will stand on much firmer legal ground.

I’m at peace y’all. I did what I could in 2020 and 2024. Don’t stress yourself over this madness.

Vote out every republican in any and every electors position. We can’t wait till November for midterms. States and control of state legislatures matter more now. Donate, phone bank, call your friends in these states. Every week we have a chance to chuck out more GOPs.

*snort laugh*

Official statement from the Democratic Hispanic Caucus of Florida on the recent events in Caracas, Venezuela, by U.S. Military forces.

Reminder: In November, we can flip over 650 state legislative seats across the country – helping us secure multiple new majorities and trifectas – including in battlegrounds like Arizona, Michigan, New Hampshire, Minnesota, and Wisconsin.

The biggest problem is that we watched Democrats speedrun an impeachment, get every Democrat to vote in favor, get every Democrat to vote in favor of conviction and removal with bipartisan support only to killed by Republicans - and voters blamed Democrats for "letting Trump go free." No upside.

The Venezuelan people elected Edmundo González to run their country. Not Pete Hegseth or Marco Rubio. The American people do not support another expensive foreign war that risks the lives of our men and women in uniform.

Here is the simple question no one wants to answer: What should Democrats give up to get 4 Republicans to join them on a discharge petition? What should Democrats give up to win over the judiciary committee to get a hearing? What should Democrats give up to get 19 Republican senators to convict?

the thing is, “differing political views” used to be about what percentage to tax high earners and not whether brown people are humans

Far-right extremists have recklessly let the Affordable Care Act tax credits expire. House Democrats will advance bipartisan legislation on the floor next week to restore healthcare affordability for millions of everyday Americans. How many House Republicans will join us?

You know, the ability to copypasta executive orders the day after a LOT of Gen Zers fell for a fake online post about a New Years Eve fireworks show (because they didn't bother checking anything other than tiktok) might be problematic.

Rep. Jim Clyburn’s book, The First Eight, tells of the first eight SC African-American congressmen and how they were forced from office.

I’ve spent my career taking action when Maine people were at risk — from expanding health care to standing up to the powerful when they hurt Maine people. Washington is broken because too many refuse to act — but I won’t be one of them.

Minnesota just launched our statewide paid leave program. Starting today new parents, small business owners, and people recovering from illness or injury will have the security to take needed time off work without risking their paycheck.

Hey kids, want a lesson in what kind of things your leadership can get away with when it controls the judiciary that it can't when it doesn't? Because this is a great example of one such thing. And this is why control of the courts (and by extension, the latitude given to politicians) matters.

You know what would be awesome? If a single one of these talking heads bothered to point out the Democrat's pledge not to use PACs (which voters demanded of them) is exactly WHY they can't launch national ad campaigns before the elections are officially underway.

Normally tiktok food videos are just used as fodder for @chefreactions.bsky.social . But this one - is something else entirely.

Onward to 2026!

Jennifer and I mourn the loss of CALFIRE Riverside County Fire Department Apparatus Engineer Daniel Cook. We offer our most sincere condolences during this difficult time. In honor of Engineer Cook, I’ve ordered flags at the State Capitol to be flown at half-staff.

As the year comes to an end, let’s remember the promises Trump made to working families and the reality we’re facing today. We were promised lower costs, more jobs, and an Administration that would put people first. We haven’t gotten any of that.
