Jack Tarca and his friends spent nearly two weeks creating a massive igloo, with videos of the build garnering more than 40 million views across his social media -- but the celebration was short-lived. Vandals destroyed it 36 hours after it was completed. on.nbcboston.com/Bf8d8et

A man at our town hall asked if love was too weak for this moment. I told him: “My faith teaches me that love is the strongest force in the universe. A new kind of politics is possible.”

AG Pam Bondi with Keith Frankel. He's in the Trump-Epstein files 400 times, and talked with Epstein about "body boxes" in 2010. He is CEO of Vitaquest, & his family runs a "children's home" that "rescues" children from Ukraine. The home is referenced as being a hot bed for child trafficking.

Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted child sex trafficker, gets gardening time, sports, therapy dogs, and spa products in prison. Migrant children in custody are sleeping on concrete floors without enough food or clean water. Our priorities are so fucked.

Of course it’s not a threat at all, under any interpretation, LET ALONE a true threat outside First Amendment protection, but I guess some of these people have a lot on their conscience about supporting a pedophile and tend to blurt it out.

Even Grok acknowledges that the so-called “Save America Act” (backed by Trump & Musk) may undermine the security of our elections by creating a Single Point of Attack for voter roll maintenance via the Save Program, which links to an SSA database mishandled by DOGE. #NoOnSave #ProtectOurVotes 1/

"The version of Christianity that Trump's most devout supporters embrace (and he pretends to) has no room for Christ’s actual teachings. Anyone who references Jesus’s declarations to aid the sick, poor, and vulnerable is quickly labeled a socialist and/or antifa."

ABC: Do you still have confidence in Pam Bondi as AG? MASSIE: I don't think Pam Bondi has confidence in Pam Bondi. She wasn't confident enough to engage in anything but name calling in a hearing. So no, I don't. She was responsible for the document production.

Chris Christie: "This false idea grand juries will indict a ham sandwich -- it's not true and the Trump administration is proving that. They're putting a bunch of ham sandwiches up there and the grand juries are not indicting them."

Rep. Angie Craig: "The attacks on Black and brown people in Minnesota have been egregious. At the end of the day, what they wanted out of Minnesota was for us to riot. I think this will go down in American history as one of the greatest examples of peaceful resistance from an entire community."

Ask yourself: why would this administration want to delete references to Medgar Evers’ racist assassin being a racist? Why might that be? I challenge anyone in this administration or Congress to defend this.

The pace at which US wealth concentration is rising is simply staggering The concentration of AI wealth into the hands of a few tech barons + plutocratic capture ==> unchartered territory

The Dow was at 43,488 when Trump took office. It just hit 50,000. So if you had invested $43,488 in the US, you would now have $50,000. But if you had invested the same amount in the rest of the world, you would now be worth $60,000. Lemme do a expla-youtube-nation www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYL5...

Apparently Ron DeSantis wants to eliminate property taxes. If Floridians aren't already the dumbest people in the country, they soon will be with no funding for public education. They really do want to keep us poor and stupid.

My brother got married there. It is wonderful and so is this.

Folks have noted that shutting down DHS also means shutting down FEMA. But it's important to remember that Trump already has been fighting to deny $233 million in FEMA funding to blue states. www.ksbw.com/article/judg...

Trump is saying that he will disregard Congress and issue an Excutive order that will violate the Constitution. Here is my promise: If he does that, we will sue and we will win. Just like we did the last time. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

ICE point weapon directly at woman peacefully protesting, just inches in front of her face. Goon is pointing a B&T GL06 grenade launcher and shooting someone at point-blank range with this so-called "less than lethal" ammo could be fatal.

As a former public defender who represented thousands of people, I can’t stop thinking about the contrast the Epstein files raise. I watched 1000s face swift, devastating punishment for far less serious conduct — poor, marginalized, & presumed dangerous from the start.

Happening now on 50th Street in Minneapolis. Lined up over a ten block stretch.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

WOW. Incredible. This is the case in which DHS claimed that ICE officers had been attacked with a shovel and fired back in self-defense. Evidence since suggests an ICE officer fired through a closed door and struck someone on the other side. Will DHS retract the prior claims?

interesting to think that revolutionary era americans understood themselves as making a break with the “old world” and establishing a new civilization. and crucially, this new civilization rested on republican self-government, not “sovereignty.”

Being reckless with his own health shouldn't qualify him to be reckless with ours. He makes paranoia and misinformation feel like credibility for far too many. Yet another way they purposefully take down of our country. #Pinks

The Virginia Supreme Court has ruled that the state can put a redistricting plan on the ballot this spring that could add as many as four more Democratic seats in Congress. The referendum will take place on April 21.

This is what a rigged economy looks like.

Raskin: What makes somebody a good lawyer? You have to identify with the people who are the victims of injustice — not with their perpetrators. So I would say to Pam Bondi: If you’re going to stand with the victimizers and not the victims, then you’re not a real lawyer.

Kristi Noem: "When it gets to Election Day, we've been proactive to make sure we have the right people voting, electing the right leaders to lead this country."
