Launching the U.S. into what could be yet another unpopular and costly forever war, while simultaneously pushing for an unpopular budget bill at home that will take food and healthcare away from millions of people. The "peace president."

See, Cuomo can care about the elderly. #OhWait

A lawmaker and her husband were murdered. Another lawmaker and his wife were shot. We are at a crossroads in our country. This was targeted political violence and how we respond as Americans must be absolutely clear that this type of extremism and violence will not be tolerated in America.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called Los Angeles a “city of criminals” and not a city of immigrants. But like its name, Los Angeles is a city of angels. We protect and look out for one another, especially the most vulnerable.

"It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy” www.wnep.com/article/news...

The Constitution is clear — EVERYONE gets due process, not just citizens. And when an authoritarian like Trump erodes the due process rights of one group, it hurts all of us. We must stand up and fight for all of our rights.

“The listing also refers to individual municipalities — including Kingston, New Paltz, and the city of Poughkeepsie — as being sanctuary cities.” None of these are sanctuary cities. They lie through their teeth to intimidate local pols into assisting with their pogrom. It’s not gonna work here.

Someone should set up a phone line to contact if you were helped in some way by an immigrant. I bet it would get a lot more calls than this ridiculous and offensive ICE line.

"I'm surprised".🙄

The U.S. has officially accepted a luxury jetliner from Qatar as a gift, and slated it to become a new Air Force One. Experts say that overhaul could take years and cost hundreds of millions.

Am I crazy or did we just have a convo about how we can't fund cancer research?

I would like to nominate Maxwell Smart for national security advisor.

Okay, but how could we have possibly known Hegseth's lack of experience would lead to a colossal national security disaster?

Tucson, Arizona today. Original projected attendance was 3,000 people. 23,000 showed up.

Right now, we have an authoritarian president. He called CNN "illegal." He is trying to encroach on the spending powers of Congress. He is going after the courts. Trump does not respect our Constitution. He just wants more and more power for himself.

"I think you caved. I don't think you showed the fight this party needs right now, because you're playing by a rulebook where the other party has thrown that rulebook away" -- here's the full clip of Sunny Hostin confronting Schumer today on The View

The ironic thing is that the poem “The New Colossus” was not inscribed in the statue by France, but was written by an American poet who at the time was trying to rescue Jews from Eastern European pogroms. They want to give back the only American part of the statue…

Netanyahu has not allowed any food, water, or fuel into Gaza in two weeks. Now he has resumed bombing, killing hundreds of people and breaking the ceasefire that had given Gaza a chance to live again. NO MORE MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL.

Una red que incluía médicos, jueces y religiosos facilitó adopciones ilegales durante la dictadura en Chile. Años después, el Estado sigue sin reconocerlo. ¿Habrá justicia? Escucha la historia en este episodio de @elhilopodcast.bsky.social elhilo.audio/adopcion-chile

My goodness. Press play, and watch this. Every last bit of it. 😂 Be honest—does anyone think @schumer.senate.gov is the right Leader for what we are up against?

I’m not exactly sure how yet, but somehow Trump is going to blame Zelensky for Putin’s refusal to sign a cease fire agreement.

If you’re tired of @schumer.senate.gov constantly falling for the okey-doke and you want bold winning leadership that is willing to go on offense, then #TheReformers is for you. We are calling for Sen Schumer (D-NY) to step down from his leadership role and let someone else take over the reigns.

So who decides now if someone is a gang member or if someone has a valid asylum claim under the law? Tom Homan? A random ICE agent? A local Sheriff’s deputy? A neighbor? An informant? So they just say a person is in a gang and they get disappeared to a prison in El Salvador?

This power grab is unprecedented, unbounded, and unconstitutional.

Dictator shit

Meanwhile over on the other place, rightwing free speech warriors (this guy is a former DeSantis campaign staffer) are calling for me to be denaturalized and deported because they don’t like my political speech. This is what fascism and racism looks like, folks.

1. The White House disembarked their own envoy from the Ukraine talks because Moscow doesn't like him. 2. The reason they don't like him is: he wants to freeze the frontline and they want *the Ukrainians* to withdraw. This administration is vociferous but weak. www.nbcnews.com/news/world/r...

This is exactly what I have been saying for a while now. At this point, it’s not left vs right that matters, but fighters vs non-fighters. The Dems, and the American people, need fighters.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

I’m amazed how little coverage this story has gotten. They’ve burned well over $16 million to briefly hold 290 immigrants and several photo ops to GITMO. Just a total train wreck and they didn’t even mention it officially. Check out my latest. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Steiner will fix the egg prices.

“Egg prices are at an all time low there has never been egg prices this low!”

The CR passed in the House will provide a blank check for Trump and Musk to continue their savage war against working families, the elderly, children, the sick and the poor in order to lay the groundwork for massive tax breaks for billionaires. This is a bill I cannot support.

Grocery prices are soaring. Housing costs are skyrocketing. Retirement savings are plummeting. But Donald Trump thought today would be a good day to play car salesman.

For the first time in 10 years, a child has died from measles in the United States. Vaccines prevent measles. Americans need to hear our top health officials say clearly: every child in America should get vaccinated against this terrible disease.

The case in the lede graf here just seems flatly unconstitutional. apnews.com/article/colu...

Trump’s message to the people of Gaza: “You are DEAD!”

The federal government determined Elon's Austin factory broke the law with dangerous working conditions. Two workers have been killed working there in the last few years. I demanded answers from Trump’s Labor Dept. & they just released the damning details. Working shouldn’t be a death sentence.

Tariffs are on. Tariffs are off. Tariffs are on. Tariffs are off. Trump’s vacillation and the chaos it creates assure only one thing: The economy is off.

4 in 5 Americans support raising taxes on the rich — Democrats, Republicans, and Independents. Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress want to cut taxes for the rich and pay for it by slashing funding for nursing homes and school lunches.

What I'm reading. One of these days I will read a book about music or a novel. Now is not that time.
