Puerto Rican fights to help his Venezuelan husband detained by ICE since June www.elnuevodia.com/english/news...

Well said, Hal. Now Marjorie, what are you actually going to do about it? #Shutdown #GovernmentShutdown #MTG #MarjorieTaylorGreene

Ok, I have to weigh in on the new Taylor Swift album. My take is release the Epstein files.

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

There it is

Your periodic reminder that you have the right to find out why your health insurer denied your claim. We built a tool to help you do it: projects.propublica.org/claimfile/

Congressional offices are closed, but their inboxes aren't. Demand Congress pass this bill to release the Epstein files--YOU CAN DO IT NOW HERE: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

He is denying representation to all her constituents.

"Eventually you are going to have to answer for your conduct in this. You won't do it today, but eventually you will." - Sen. Dick Durbin to Pam Bondi

I agree, a defining moment of our era. What is ICE? This is ICE.

The President having a secret list of groups or people with unknown parameters he can kill without process, is acting upon, and is based on a secret interpretation of law which doesn’t make sense to any outside experts, is bad.

Bondi refuses to answer questions about the Homan bribery scandal but deflects with personal attacks on Padilla

Life during wartime. 🥴

Speak up for those who have no voice, for the justice of all who are dispossessed. Speak up, judge righteously, and defend the cause of the oppressed and needy. —Proverbs 31:8-9

This is not going well for Pam Bondi

More than three hours in, Pam Bondi has repeatedly refused to answer questions about her involvement in and knowledge of the forced resignation of Erik Siebert, the former U.S. attorney in eastern Virginia. Siebert was replaced after refusing to prosecute James Comey.

Big thank you to the great @murray.senate.gov for joining Meidas Health today with my great friend and physician leader @drkavitapatel.bsky.social to break down the terrible impacts of rhe government shutdown on our nations health.

COONS: How did you conclude that these strikes on boats in the open ocean are legal? BONDI: I'm not going to discuss any legal advice that my department may or may not have issued

No one in Canada will ever love you again — they know they’re living right above the madhouse.

Grijalva: The frustration for me is that it seems as if Speaker Johnson is not willing to swear me in because our politics are a little different, or because I’m going to be the 218th signer—he can just continue to drag this along with no end in sight. That is not a foundation of our democracy.

It's all slipping away.. #fascism

What happens when prosecutions become political theater? @preetbharara.bsky.social and I discuss reports that Trump’s DOJ planned a “perp walk” for former FBI Director Jim Comey on a new episode of @cafedotcom.bsky.social Insider: cafe.visitlink.me/HETzAj

I refuse to let hopelessness prevail. This may just be one essay, by a lawyer few have heard of, in a newsletter read by a fraction of the public. But I will not stay silent. Will you? www.democracydocket.com/opinion/i-re...

Budget day is aways a bit triggering for me because I used to work in an off license and I would have to re-price all the wine bottles and fags after the tax increases.

Lawrence O’Donnell is right: the fight for Virginia’s future is the fight for America’s future. The most important election this year is Abigail Spanberger for Governor. Power, rights, and democracy itself are on the line—let’s raise hell and win. 🔥 #VoteVA

It's been two weeks since Adelita Grijalva was elected and Mike Johnson has still refused to seat her, unlike in past cases where he swore in new members within 24 hours. There cannot be one set of rules for Rs and another for Ds. Also, release the damn Epstein files already.

In 2010, with my 1st service dog here in Manhattan, NY when I became disabled, I had to fight everywhere. Grocery stores, taxis, you name it, I fought it. As awareness began to permeate I stopped having to use my energy for this purpose. It's happened on Amtrak & EVEN when I went to the White House!
