The latest Is NOT the greatest.

Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett’s Statement on the Passage of the Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill

The Republican spending bill is a historic theft that will take from the poor to give to the already-rich. Republicans passed this knowing people will die. They know people will lose their health care. They know children will go hungry. They will own the tragic results. We can't let them forget.

House Republicans propelled President Donald Trump’s $4.5 trillion tax breaks and spending cuts bill to final congressional passage Thursday, overcoming multiple setbacks to approve his signature second-term policy package before a Fourth of July deadline.

Former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with prostate cancer.

My heart is with President Biden and his family. Lifting him up in prayer and wishing him a peaceful, successful healing journey. www.cnn.com/2025/05/18/p...

Former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, his office said Sunday.

Gwen and I are praying for President Biden and his family. A truly decent man and a friend. We’re wishing him all the best. apnews.com/article/bide...

Public broadcasters like PBS and NPR give every American access to culture, history, art, and trusted journalism. They’re a cornerstone of civic life. Defunding them does a disservice to us all, especially in rural communities. We must defend them.

Our democracy demands that we all jump in — and stand up for what we believe, just like Rory does here. We all must stand up.

This is on the heels of his administration’s cuts of over $800 million to police, prosecutors, courts and more across the country. Trump is defunding the police to help pay for a tax cut for billionaires.

This might be my favorite clip ever

I wanna be his friend

He’s delusional. Yes he’s misinformed. Yes, he’s not displaying signs of high intelligence. But on top of that, this is delusional thinking. Magical thinking.

I just wrote: "Switching from ICE to DoD Custody: An Alarming Violation of Court Order on Deportations to El Salvador" Astonishing. Read ICE official's affidavit. ICE had the detainees in their custody before turning them over to DOD for transfer to torture in El Salvador. AFTER court issued TRO.

A federal judge in Maryland has ordered the Trump administration to return a second migrant who was deported to El Salvador’s notorious prison system despite a previous court settlement barring their removal.

This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

Hey y'all!! Checking in from Tulsa!! ktul.com/news/local/f...

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS.

China calls Trump a liar.

Thank you, Sen. Van Hollen, for standing up not just for Kilmar Abrego Garcia and his family but for every American who believes in due process. We can't stop speaking out until he is home and this administration is forced to stop its horrific practice of kidnapping people without charge or trial.

"Abrego Garcia’s case isn’t about his alleged gang membership. It’s about the rule of law, and whether it will hold." By @tomjoscelyn.bsky.social and @rgoodlaw.bsky.social #AbregoGarcia #DueProcess

I’m glad SCOTUS stepped in & stopped that plane from taking off. Deporting folks with no record & no due process isn’t justice—it’s cruelty. Meanwhile, the Republicans follow a convicted felon like he’s the Second Coming. You can’t scream “law & order” while breaking the law at every turn.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Our schools are places of inspiration, protection, empathy, and knowledge. Fear and threat shall be met with courage and determination. Homeland Security agents attempted to enter 2 LAUSD schools. Here's what families should know

Update: The House just passed the Republican voter suppression measure that threatens voting access for millions of Americans, including 69 million women whose married names don't match their birth certificates. Make sure your senators know you expect them to stand against it.

The House of Representatives just passed the SAVE Act, a bill that could block millions of American citizens from voting. Here's what you need to know from @gbedekovics.bsky.social:

They fired Navy Vice Admiral Shoshana Chatfield—not because she couldn’t do the job, but because she wouldn’t hang up pictures of Trump and Hegseth. This ain’t about merit—it’s about ego.

Republicans used to say “undocumented immigrants don’t pay taxes.” Now the IRS is handing their tax data to DHS… So which is it? Seems like you’d have to pay taxes to even have tax data…

This guy has collapsed the economy twice.

SCOOP: Hooded ICE agents snatched Indian-born Georgetown postdoc Badar Suri from Rosslyn street Monday, per court filing. Like Khalil, linked to pro-Palestinian views & Rubio 'foreign policy' power, lawyer says. Then whisked to Louisiana. w/ @kyledcheney www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

It’s been a long day, but in short, bullies ain’t shit! I don’t care what title you hold! This isn’t some long gone reality tv show or failed casino; it is war! How dare a draft dodging dumb dupe humiliate an ally & berate a brave man who has actually been on a battlefield for his people?!

The JD Vance/Donald Trump spectacle with President Zelensky of Ukraine was an embarrassment for the United States, and Zelensky has no reason to apologize to Donald Trump.

If the market continues to trend down, and the Atlanta Fed turns out to be right, the midterms will be very interesting. The battle between republican self preservation and MAGA will be intense

Yes

Get em Eric!!! @ericswalwell.bsky.social

United States support for Ukraine was never about securing mineral rights. Or providing security for money. It was about democracy and sovereignty. And a willingness to defend our allies and oppose our enemies. Trump is betraying Ukraine, but also our values. Our history and our legacy.

“A video shared by Tarrio on social media on Saturday showed him following the officers, Michael Fanone, Harry Dunn and Aquilino Gonell, through … a Washington hotel that was hosting the Principles First summit, a conference where one of the officers received a ‘profile in courage’ award.”

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees. Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law Time to do things that make him react to you. apnews.com/article/trum...

Thanks, Elon. My salary is public, as is my financial report. But since you ask, when will you be releasing yours?

Donald Trump has fired the head of the National Archives, the government agency that protects the Constitution and other historic documents, apparently out of revenge for asking him to return classified documents he stole when he left the White House the first time.

Trump is an evil man.
