📌Barack Obama was targeted 11 times in assassination attempts during this two terms. I bet you don't remember any of them because they were handled through proper channels, professionally, and he isn't a whiny bitch.

Not sure how this "no tax on tips" stunt was supposed to play out, but showing a senior citizen who is stuck driving Door Dash because she can't afford her husbands cancer treatment is not the flex they think it is. Or was that part bullshit too?

I haven’t watched the video that Trump posted because I’m not a sicko- but didn’t one of his supporters attack Nancy Pelosi’s husband in their home in basically the same manner? And didn’t his son Jr then make fun of the attack? Who are the true animals in this story?

NYT reporting that under this ceasefire each ship will pay $2M to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. It was $0 before Trump launched this illegal war. 100-130 ships pass the Strait daily. Trump just gave Iran an extra $100M-$130M per day. Masterful gambit, sir. Impeach and remove this fascist—NOW.

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it. This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

In 1970, students in a fifth-grade class at Hawthorne School in Beverly Hills were assigned to write a letter to someone they admired, asking them “What makes a good citizen?" So 10yr old Joel Lipton wrote to Peanuts cartoonist Charles M. Schulz. Joel got a reply.

Two-year-old Kaleth is being locked away at the Dilley trailer prison. He is getting sicker with each passing day. He will not eat the food CoreCivc serves, which detainees have said sometimes has mold and worms. He now has a fever.

Trump posted on social media after the announcement of Mueller’s death: “Robert Mueller just died. Good, I’m glad he’s dead.” The Republican president added, “He can no longer hurt innocent people!”

The number of Americans who can’t comprehend the fact that voting is a constitutionally protected right and the at the other things that require a photo ID and proof of citizenship or legal residency are not is just baffling

A reminder that the New England Patriots plane is flown by Omni air who contracts with ICE to fly people in chains to Africa and Asia several times per week. Go Seahawks.

In Minneapolis, we’re already seeing the success of ICE Watch. There are countless videos from ICE Watch observers that show agents leaving without detaining anyone after they encounter resistance. There are currently about 3,000 ICE agents in Minnesota, but DHS claims they have only arrested 2,400

I also think it's important for people who are calling out for someone to confront Admin figures with forthright accusations of wrongdoing, dishonesty, etc to realize that it does happen, increasingly often. Eg: this Chicago area Rep speaking to Sec Noem, just today. bsky.app/profile/deli...

Yes, I'm taking the first step towards Noem's impeachment. I demand a full investigation into Secretary Noem's unlawful actions and unethical behavior. The people will have accountability.

Patel on J6 arrest: "When you attack American citizens, when you attack our institutions of legislation, when you attack our nation's Capitol, you attack the very being of our way of life."

Imagine living in a country where it’s easier for a refugee from a war torn country to get a gun than the mental health care he so clearly desperately needed

A study by economists initially released in 2023 found immigrants are 60% less likely to be incarcerated than people born in the U.S. Immigrants have been imprisoned at lower rates for 150 years, the study found, adding to past research undermining Trump’s claims.

“With few exceptions, studies conducted at both the aggregate and individual levels demonstrate that high concentrations of immigrants are not associated with increased levels of crime and delinquency across neighborhoods and cities in the United States,” it said.

So proud of the people of Chicago who have been protecting their neighbors by filming and spreading the word. I hope an attorney takes up her case and sues ICE Federal prosecutors move to dismiss charges against woman shot by Border Patrol agent in Chicago apnews.com/article/chic...

Ashamed of this country again today. The democratic leadership deserves NO respect. They need to go.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Amen!!! If the only way you participate in the process is by bitching at others on social media about how broken the system is you get Trump

“We won because we insisted that no longer would politics be something that is done to us. Now it is something that we do.”

Take your positive messages to the streets today Dems- there’s no need to argue with bots or even mention the President’s name. We will continue to win with a message that is inclusive and unifying.

BREAKING: Colorado voters approved a ballot measure that would raise state income taxes on higher-earning households to fund free meals for all public school students. Follow AP for live updates.

It’s wild that Trump thinks he has the power to blow boats out of the water, send troops into American cities, but when it comes to releasing emergency monies to feed hungry children he needs to check with the courts.

I know! I know! It was Hunter Biden in the East wing with an auto-pen. This is the worst game of Clue ever

O'DONNELL: Why did you pardon Changpeng Zhao? TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is O'DONNELL: His crypto exchange Binance helped facilitate a $2b purchase of World Liberty Financial's stablecoin. And they you pardoned him. TRUMP: Here's the thing -- I know nothing about it
