Anyone involved in this needs to be tried for war crimes.

Happy First Day of Early Voting, to all who celebrate! There was no line at all when I went to the Franklin County Board of Elections this morning around 8:10.

A citizens group got approval from the Ohio Ballot Board on Thursday to begin collecting signatures for a proposed constitutional amendment to prevent large, new data centers in the state ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/04/03/d...

Early voting starts in a week and a half, and I am trying to figure out which people to support without @senatormeow.bsky.social's Sample Meowlot.

Few people in this country are owed more apologies than Conor Lamb. John Fetterman just singlehandedly saved Markwayne Mullin's nomination.

In the 1920s, there was an enormous Klan-aligned caucus in the House of Representatives that passed an immigration restriction bill designed to keep out Catholics and Jews because they supposedly posed an existential threat to American civilization. 100 years later, here we are.

Does anyone really believe that suspending the federal gas tax is a good idea?

HUD has estimated that it would cost $20 billion to end homelessness in the U.S. That is less than 4 weeks of the war in Iran.

No one who voted no deserves to be in Congress. Looking at you, Greg Landsman.

Kristi Noem will go down in history as the worst DHS secretary of all time. Hopefully the next one is significantly less terrible, but I am not holding my breath.

US war with Iran = $1B a day Eliminating homelessness = 30 days of Iran war Universal child care (3-4) = 20 days of Iran War Universal free college = 58 days of Iran war Ending world hunger = 93 days of Iran war We’ve always had the means—we must demand that the priorities change

How about *not* bombing schools? www.france24.com/en/asia-paci...

War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.

Correction: Lindsey Graham definitely was asking for war with Iran. He has been for decades. Only 21% of Americans support it, but golly, Lindsey Graham is glad people are dying needlessly in an imperialist war.

If Congress does not step in and block the Trump Administration from starting wars, what even is Congress's job? Maybe their whole job is blocking the Trump Administration from levying tariffs – oh, yeah, they did not do that either.

what if we did 2003 again but with even stupider people in charge of everything

The American people are sick and tired of endless wars built on false promises and paid for with innocent lives. Congress must immediately pass Khanna-Massie War Powers Resolution.

Nurul Amin Shah Alam crossed oceans to flee unimaginable violence, only to die here — where he should have been safe. The cruelty is endless.

Is the FBI Director job the new Make-A-Wish Foundation? He gets free flights wherever he wants, to go watch the Olympics and celebrate with the winning team.

In the heart of the anti-worker South, UAW Volkswagen workers ratified a landmark contract with major pay raises and stronger job security protections. Meanwhile, union density increased in 2025, despite Trump’s war on workers. Labor isn’t cowing to Trump’s attacks. Solidarity.

👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics. "It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

During World War II, nearly 120,000 Japanese Americans were forced into internment camps, including over 10,000 from King County alone.

Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans

Donald Trump instructed Republican-controlled states to gerrymander their congressional districts for the midterms. They fucked around. Now they get to find out.

My friend Natasha Wheatley-Caffrey is running for Ohio Senate in District 3, which covers much of southern Franklin County, Pickaway County, and Madison County. This is a swing district where incumbent Republican Michele Reynolds, is full MAGA and needs to lose. www.instagram.com/reel/DUdjhGW...

With any other president, "president shares extremely racist video" would be huge news, dominating the news cycle for days. But at this point it is not surprising at all. Breaking news: Donald Trump said something racist, and water is wet, and the sun rises in the east.

Starbucks Workers United baristas are escalating their fight for a fair contract. I urge you to keep boycotting Starbucks — and delete its app from your phone. Workers are fed up with low pay, chaotic scheduling, understaffing, and illegal union busting. Let's keep fighting corporate greed.

The Mexican-American War: starting a centuries-long tradition of presidents lying their way into invading another country. Not mentioned in the White House message: an obscure member of the U.S. House named Abraham Lincoln fighting to stop the war. www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-st...

After making history as the first Southern autoworkers outside the Big Three to join the UAW, the 3,200 workers at VW Chattanooga have won a tentative agreement that provides 20 percent across-the-board wage increases, affordable health care, real job security, and more. 🔗 uaw.org/uaw-reaches-...

HAPPENING NOW: Students in Bethesda, Maryland walk out of their high school to say ICE OUT!

Of course, money is not even close to the most important reason why the Trump Administration's cruel actions toward immigrants are wrong. But, in addition to causing immense human suffering, attacks on immigrants will bankrupt this country.

My last name appears zero times in the Epstein files. Donald Trump's appears over 5,000 times.

It is pretty disturbing for a judge to be citing religious scripture in a judicial decision, but at least this time he is using it for a good cause.

Since Nicki Minaj has been in the news, I will ask: What ever became of the domestic violence accusations her ex made against her? I feel like that got one news story in 2018 and then completely disappeared from public discourse. www.theguardian.com/music/2018/a...

ICE's decision to just leave cars abandoned in the roads is one of those dystopian things that makes you recoil in shock when you encounter it.

Absolutely wild to see people pretending Tom Homan is a decent person.

This five year old is still in jail

Here's the thing, Greg — free speech is still protected by the First Amendment under the Constitution. If you want folks to stop saying you're the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people, maybe stop acting like the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people.

Remember in 2018 when people said that "Abolish ICE" was bad messaging and too extreme? By now it should be completely unacceptable for any politician to support the continued existence of ICE.

Another murder by immigration enforcement in my district. I am absolutely horrified that federal agents are targeting and executing our residents instead of protecting them. ICE and CBP must leave Minnesota immediately. Kristi Noem must be impeached. Enough.

Hung a guy at Nuremburg for doing this, FYI. Not "a thing like this" but literally this, exactly.

Of the many things that make me angry about ICE's brutality, one thing is how predictable it was during the 2024 campaign. Democrats could have campaigned against the brutality Trump was promising, and they chose not to.

This YouGov poll on ICE is really eye-opening. Public opinion has really swung against DHS/ICE and their terror regime. d3nkl3psvxxpe9.cloudfront.net/documents/IC...

Sen Chris Murphy wants to require warrants and ban masks as a requirement for more ICE funding. WHY ARE YOU GIVING THEM FUNDING HAVE YOU LEARNED NOTHING.

AOC: What we saw today was a criminal murder a woman while she was trying to flee for her life. What we saw today was a manifestation of every American’s worst nightmare: their government turning into a tyranny.

ICE makes our country less safe, and every single ICE employee who commits, assists, or orders crimes – from the top leadership down to the bottom – needs to be prosecuted.

Even in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the executive branch at least went to Congress for authorization. Sure, they lied to Congress then, but now they are not even trying to get the approval the Constitution requires.

I'm old enough to remember a time when the president would at least have put some effort into lying to Congress first

This is evil.
