Growing up in a small town, I saw how small businesses make main streets come alive.   I just announced $33 million for 225 small businesses to ensure they have the funding they need to get started.

No one.

Inches away from one of the tiniest butterflies in the world… Between the rainstorms, I decided to take out my macro lens to see what was about. I was rewarded with Cupido comyntas, the fabulous male Eastern Tailed-Blue butterfly. Half inch wingspan. Those scales🤯 #Photography99 📷🌱 #Butterflies 🦋

I’m seeing many reposts of Donald Trump’s demented distraction from the Jeffrey Epstein mess about Rosie O’Donnell. What I’m not seeing is her sassy response. Here it is:

As search and recovery missions continue in Texas, I’m incredibly grateful to our Minnesota Task Force 1 K-9 Unit for stepping up and traveling to assist our neighbors in this time of tragedy. We know their heroic work will make a difference.

NEWS: ICE ordered to stop arresting people without probable cause, Kristi Noem's failure to renew contracts left Texas flood calls unanswered, a Trump supporter left to Canada and can't get back into the country, a farmworker dies during ICE raid, and more. All the news you missed:

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz after touring "Alligator Alcatraz": "These detainees are living in cages. The pictures you've seen don't do it just. They are essentially packed into cages. 34 detainees per cage...they get their drinking water & they brush their teeth where they poop, in the same unit"

Players this century with 25+ points in an NBA Finals game at age 22 or younger ⤵️ Kobe Bryant Tony Parker LeBron James Kawhi Leonard And now… Bennedict Mathurin It’s a postseason career-high for Mathurin, also becoming the youngest player since 1971 to score 25+ off the bench in a Finals game 🔥

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

I’m sorry Terry Moran was fired but we needed to hear someone in the media pointing out Miller’s evil and deranged actions and beliefs. Terry is on the right side of history.

Watched local ABC at lunch to catch the weather, thought I accidentally put a FOX outlet on based on the way ABC was positioning the event in LA. Words like “insurrectionists” “violence” “illegals”. Terry Moran has been a thorough, intelligent journalist. He is not a “talking head”. Suck it ABC!

Terry Moran's one problem, he spoke truth to power. (And he made trump look the way he always does in interviews, stupid.

Watching the right now oppose the part of the second amendment that guarantees a well regulated militia under state control is… something.

In our society (and in jobs) we are actively discouraged from talking about sex, religion and politics. That emphasis on discouraging "arguments" has created the simplistic, single-minded ignorance that lives in many people's heads, without a diversity of thought. I work with people who have

New from me: Texas quietly downsizes border security spending—mainly for state border wall—though still remains above pre-OLS levels www.texasobserver.org/texas-quietl... @texasobserver.org

California AG Bonta Sues Trump for Deploying Troops, Warns President Is Trying to Provoke Violence

ICE agents concealing their faces: Can they really do that?

Come join me and at least 150 people at the Edgewater Public Library to protect those coming in for Drag Story Hour! Support and follow @transupfrontil.com!!

Did you know that when Pam Bondi said "We presented El Salvador with an arrest warrant and they agreed to return him," she was admitting she failed to follow the extradition process, proving he could have been returned at any time? My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/abrego-gar...

A reminder that January 6 insurrection was invited by the same criminal who is inciting and creating manufactured chaos throughout the United States today. He should’ve been sent to jail for several lifetime sentences, not sent to the White House.

Remember: If unions didn’t matter, powerful corporations wouldn’t spend millions of dollars every year to stop workers from organizing. Keep up the fight.

It is always a pleasure hanging out with Stephen Colbert especially when there are puppies. And it was a thrill meeting the great #CristinMilioti, who was absolutely sensational in the Penguin. Thanks #ColbertLateShow and Thanks Chuck! Styling: #MichaelFisher Grooming: #marycurranstylist

If past practice is anything to go by, a White House staffer just handed President Trump an early preview of tomorrow's jobs report.

Breakups are hard, especially when they play out in the public sphere. Here’s the tea on what’s happening between Trump and Elon in their messy spat.  But in all seriousness, we need to kill the bill. ⬇️

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

I’m so excited to return to The Late Show w/ Stephen Colbert! I did such a great job last time, they asked me back a mere 8 years later. #TheLifeOfChuck

As climate change juices up severe storms and wildfires and makes heat waves even deadlier, cuts at all levels across the US federal government have thrown agencies tasked with preparing the country for disasters—and helping it recover—into chaos. In Trump's America, what do we do? A guide:

Breaking News: A judge said the government should release Kseniia Petrova, a Russian scientist employed by Harvard University, saying U.S. customs had “no factual or legal basis” for revoking her visa.

The people of Missouri made it very clear: They wanted abortion rights (at least until fetal viability). Alas, the Missouri Supreme Court doesn’t seem to be inclined to listen.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and other city officials are expected to take the stand this week at a federal hearing held to determine whether the city breached its legal obligations to create more shelter for unhoused people, following a searing audit into whether services were actually provided.

THOU SHALT NOT BE A RAGING HYPOCRITE! I guess Texas Republicans missed that one. My latest video on the Katie Phang News channel. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nRx...

This Memorial Day, we honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Let us remember their courage, their service, and the freedoms they preserved for us all. #MemorialDay #HonorAndRemember

Today, I was denied access to seeing my constituent, Mr. Kilmar Abrego Garcia. If there is nothing to hide, cut the crap. Let his lawyer and I check on him.

Two of the nation’s most preeminent pediatricians, Dr. Peter Hotez and Dr. Sapna Singh join host Dr. Vin Gupta for an expansive conversation on tackling health misinformation, the real meaning of the MAHA agenda, and the ongoing measles epidemic. Listen to the new episode of Meidas Health!

They pretend that the USA was founded as a Christian nation. Then they pretend and insist they’re Christians. Then they govern like the motherfucking antichrist.

No one person or entity can replace the void of health leadership at the top for the next 3.5 years. But I, with powerful partners like @meidastouch.com, @msnbc.com, @nbcnews.com will try with every ounce of genuine effort to fill it responsibly. Thank you to all of you for the trust.

Switching from Trump’s Amazon to the more diverse, equitable, and inclusive Costco is easier than you think. I made the switch. Now everything I need is delivered by Costco right to my door in two hours instead of two days - and without supporting oligarchs!

Naomi Biden slams propagandist Jake Tapper over his filthy book about her grandfather President Biden. 🔥

This special needs guy was abandoned and then hit by a car. He needed a forever home, so I’m giving him one. 💕

What does Trump have against Harvard?
