Rand Paul: "We've never in our past decided just to shoot smugglers who are unarmed without even proof they're smuggling anything. So I think this is a horrendous thing that should stop. I think it's illegal & immoral... the kids in the military - I'm not for sending them down there to die for oil"

Why, @democrats.org, why? Can someone please explain why you just voted to give this admin $900 billion to further terrorize our people and the world?!?! www.commondreams.org/news/majorit...

GOP Rep. Dan Newhouse will not run for reelection www.politico.com/live-updates...

218 members signed the discharge petition to force a vote to extend ACA tax credits. If Speaker Johnson refuses to bring forth the vote, he’s telling the American people loud and clear that rising health care costs are acceptable to him.

AOC: “President Trump ran on a promise to the American people that ICE would go after the worst of the worst — What we have seen is that ICE is not overwhelmingly going after criminals — In fact, over 70% of people currently detained in detention facilities do not have a criminal record”

McDonald’s USA — Employee: $15/hr, no benefits — Big Mac: $5.79 McDonald’s Denmark — Employee: $22/hr, 6 weeks vacation, 1 year paid maternity leave, life insurance, pension — Big Mac: $5.49 Tell us more about how raising the minimum wage would affect the cost of hamburgers.

Agreed. Affordability is not just a catch phrase.

“At least six Canadian children, with birth years ranging from 2009 to 2024, were detained during the period. One Canadian child was held for 51 days — more than twice the 20-day limit set by a long-standing U.S. court-ordered agreement.” Expert warns Canadians to not travel to the US:

This should be horrifying to all of us.

Dystopia, indeed. We are all subjects of the rulers and technology now.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

Here's an idea: Rob Reiner's daughters should sue Trump for $20 billion dollars (evidently Trump's favorite number) for slander, defamation, inciting violence, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Mike Johnson announced today that there is not going to be a deal on healthcare before the deadline. Was I wrong 4 days ago?

Is it just blatant lying, gaslighting, or delusion? Or maybe all three?!

History of these years will certainly be full of shame.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families. The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

Excuse me, WUT! You don’t give a “shockingly candid” interview ripping your own administration and then act surprised when people quote you. That’s not a media problem. That’s a foresight problem.

The amount of money Americans are paying for their energy bills has increased 13% since Trump took office in January 📈 abcnews.go.com/US/energy-bi...

If you rely on caregivers for any members of your family, you can thank the #GOP when that care disappears. www.commondreams.org/news/trump-m...

NEW JERSEY — bonkers… the husband of an ICE agent uses her marked car to pretend to be Homeland Security and respond to a call HE MADE HIMSELF… with a gun and sirens and everything.

Dr Russell D. Moore is a theologian, pastor, and the editor in chief of Christianity Today.

If you’re telling Head Start programs they can’t say “disability”, “Black”, “female”, or “Tribal” in order to get funded—you don’t care about kids. Period. This administration is attacking the very protections that keep children safe and supported. Our kids are not political props.

Contact your representatives and urge them to vote NO on H.R. 845. H.R. 845 — a bill that would strip federal protections from gray wolves across the lower 48 states and block judicial review — is being discussed in the House Rules Committee today and could move to a full House vote this week. #wolf

This is what heroism looks like.

Huckabee is the current US Ambassador to Israel. This is called a confession.

This is both disgusting and expected. The Scumbag-in-Chief

🚨The courage, the honor, the truth and candor missing from the U.S. government in this moment has one unadulterated Congressperson who is standing up to the lies: Senator Mark Kelly. Spread this message, this truth, this courage.

I haven't met A SINGLE liberal/Progressive/Democrat who has said that anyone in the Epstein Files who is a Democrat should be protected or immune from any crimes they committed. NOT. ONE. That's the difference...among many others.

"Every lockdown drill is a confession of failure. Every barricaded classroom is an indictment. Every child taught to hide is proof that the adults in charge have surrendered."

Just a reminder.

I sat down with 20 undecided Texas voters on @jubileemedia.bsky.social’s Surrounded. One of them brought up “welfare queens” so I told him the truth: The biggest welfare queens in this country are the giant corporations that don’t pay a penny in federal taxes.

The Soulless Train

As Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis stated in 1933; “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.” Today, at a time of unprecedented income & wealth inequality, his words ring truer than ever.
