New in PN: The bombing of Iranian children is an unforgivable crime "American disinterest in the lives of people abroad is a resource politicians use to justify cynical wars. It's hard to see on what moral grounds we claim a right to decide the fate of those about whom we clearly care so little."

Lindsey’s diplomacy working wonders in UAE.

Today the United States wasted another #1B on an illegal war in Iran, money that could have been spent on funding health care or providing SNAP benefits or cancer research or academic scholarships for minorities. I could go on and on but I think you get my point. #endtheiranwarnow

So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion. That's $1 billion per day. $41,666,667 per hour. $11,574 per second. Thousands of lives lost. People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Let’s all call Massie today and get him to switch parties. Then force Gonzalez to resign. Then get the gavel, issue some subpoenas, and impeach some motherfuckers

It’s time for our legislators to take a lesson in courage from eighth graders like Lydia and stand up to the gun lobby.

Of all Presidementia's prior State-of-the-Unions I've not watched in the past, tonight's State-of-the-Union is the State-of-the-Union I'm not watching the most. 🍊🚫

"The owners of a Dallas County warehouse that ICE had planned to use as a mega detention center said Monday it will not sell or lease the property to the federal government. “God answered our prayers,” the Hutchins Mayor said after learning of the decision... www.dallasnews.com/news/immigra...

Reuters: New Mexico lawmakers on Monday passed legislation to launch what they said was the first full investigation into what happened at Zorro Ranch, where the late U.S. sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is accused of trafficking and sexually assaulting girls and women.

Mark Warner, vice chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, on elections: In the past, we’ve mostly seen foreign interference — my bigger fear now is domestic interference, some of that potentially originating inside the administration.

Massie not backing down.

Great sitting down with Brian Tyler Cohen to talk about everything from the courage we saw in Minnesota, to how Democrats can be true to our values and get stuff done, to how we’re building a community of changemakers at the Obama Foundation. youtube.com/watch?v=uI-hgSE5QIw

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.

WE FOUND THE WASTE, FRAUD, AND ABUSE. Nope! I don’t want my tax dollars funding DHS brutality, and I definitely don’t want it paying for Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski to jet-set around the country and fuck in a private cabin on a luxury $70M 737 Max. Listen to this mess.

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

You didn’t think all those concentration camps they want to build are only for immigrants, did you? (Gift article)

How long can a nation survive a tired, irritable, confused and conflicted rogue president?

The president's press secretary cannot tell the truth and disdains freedom of the press.

Frost: We just can't trust them to investigate themselves because they've shown us time and time and again that they're not interested in justice and they're interested in covering their own asses from the Epstein investigation to ICE and DHS

This is concerning, that a rep feels they must post this. A lot in our coalition has felt the same way and worried about it, but didn’t think we’d be here publicly.

We are entering the “falling out of windows” phase.

DON LEMON: “I will not be intimidated. I will not back down. I will not be silenced.”

Sanders: The American people do not want this country to be an authoritarian society or an oligarchy. We have our differences, that’s what democracy is about—we argue it out. We don’t throw people who disagree in jail. We don’t intimidate the media. We don’t send ICE agents to shoot people.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Major update: Bipartisan condemnation of Pam Bondi following Epstein hearing where she would not look at the survivors. Sources help reveal information currently redacted in the Epstein Files. EL Paso’s airspace closed because of a party balloon, not a cartel drone.

If my followers have been inspired by the fierce resistance the Twin Cities has put up to ICE, you should make it a point to take a trip here (April through October 😬), enjoy the wonderful things MN has to offer and support our small businesses. It continues to be a really tough time for them.

Still think it's really fucked up that the President can target a whole state and terrorize it and do ethnic cleansing and whatnot and life just goes on I guess without impeachment or a government shutdown or something.

Republicans are still trying to pass the SAVE Act—a bill that would make it harder to vote and disenfranchise millions of Americans. Join @redistrictingaction.org and tell your member of Congress to vote no: act.redistrictingaction.org/a/natl-saveact-cte

Blumenthal: ICE and CBP are out of control. The practices of this agency have to be completely overhauled. It’s like a corporation in bankruptcy—either dissolved or reorganized. They’re morally bankrupt, legally bankrupt, and politically bankrupt.

It's obvious but still striking to consider that we have a United States government driven solely by one man's emotional dysregulation and dysfunction.

as someone who pushes hard against conspiratorial thinking in my professional and political life, it is deeply irritating when, on top of the untold human harms Epstein caused, it turns out he was at the center of at least half a dozen actual conspiracies

They’re taking children from Minnesota and locking them up like criminals in detention camps in Texas. For the love of God, send our kids home and bring an end to this nightmare. www.startribune.com/walz-demands...

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself. It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did. ICE MUST GO‼️

I want to laugh at it but sadly it’s true.

"We believe that if ICE agents break the law, they should be held accountable, and those investigations should be fair, complete and independent," said House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries. https://to.pbs.org/4tyCigv

Garcia: I want to remind the American public of Stephen Miller. There's probably no single person in this government that has done more damage and more harm to people across this country than this man right here. It's our job to hold him responsible

During the campaign, Trump denied any connection to Project 2025. After returning to office, the policies outlined in the plan began appearing with speed and precision. The agenda targets immigration systems, civil rights protections, education, gender recognition, and the federal workforce

I’m not a constitutional scholar but if a president advocates for a change to election laws that is contrary to the constitution, isn’t that a violation of his oath of office?

Jones: All you do is keep people fearful because you get paid 45 million a year to keep people fearful so they don’t pay attention to the CEOS taking their healthcare. You don’t care about the American people. You want them to be afraid of immigrants because all you have is fear.
