I'm going to KEEP talking about how Florida Senator Rick Scott, the RICHEST man in all of Congress DEFRAUDED Medicare & is trying to CUT Social Security. Will you join me?🤚

Clarence Thomas says the 14th Amendment should be read narrowly because it was written for formerly enslaved people. By that logic, the 2nd Amendment was written for muskets, not AR-15s. Funny how that kind of originalism only shows up when it's convenient.

A data center is trying to build right next to the zoo in Nashville, TN. Their excuse? 'Well a train already goes by there and the animals are okay with that.' Data centers create a maddening hum of noise pollution, something those animals would never be able to escape.

NEW: Sen. John Hickenlooper is calling on Trump to personally pay back taxpayers for the millions he spent revamping the Reflecting Pool, now a cesspool of algae + chunks of blue sealant. “This was not a result of vandalism, but your administration’s incompetence." www.huffpost.com/entry/senato...

Just wanted to let you know that the IRS has audited every president annually for decades now to ensure there was no corruption and the reason you didn't know that was because only one president found that to be a problem

Interesting how fascist republicans falsely claimed all Jan 6 terrorists were paid actors, undercover FBI agents and Antifa to pretend it wasn’t MAGA voters but now they’re okay with paying them nearly $2B in stolen taxpayer dollars. Funny how that works.

for me impeachment isn't what we should be after. this president and most of his cabinet and staff should be prosecuted for corruption, fraud, war crimes, obstruction, and all the various crimes they have committed. i will only vote for a presidential candidate in 2028 who commits to this.

Rand Paul: “I just wonder if someone who applauds violence against their political opponents is the right person to lead an agency that has struggled to accept limits to the proper use of force.” The entire confirmation hearing in one sentence.

James Talarico: Are you aware that this bill removes the writings of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.? Republican: Yes Talarico: Yet this bill still includes the writings of Alexis de Tocqueville, and he's not even an American. Could that be because he's a white man? Republican: N-not exactly…

Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted child sex trafficker, gets gardening time, sports, therapy dogs, and spa products in prison. Migrant children in custody are sleeping on concrete floors without enough food or clean water. Our priorities are so fucked.

JUDGE: ... and then Mr Manson didn't you order Susan Atkins to cut open Sharon Tate's body and rip the fetus from her womb? MANSON: Yer honor, The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the NASDAQ is smashing records! That’s what we should be talkin' about!"

Dear AG Pam Bondi, Screaming is not a sign of strength. It’s actually a sign of weakness and defensiveness. What you & the Administration have done in the Epstein investigation and to the victims by not redacting them and revealing their identities is criminal. Refusing to apologize is DEPLORABLE.😡

Federal Judges have a very real and well-established reason to fear doxing and violence and yet I doubt anyone thinks it would be acceptable for them to preside from the bench in a hood.

Right now, Democrats have the power to defund and abolish ICE. We should do it. This is about right and wrong—and the murder we are seeing on the streets is just plain wrong. Anyone who supports funding DHS and ICE is supporting the murder of Americans. We can stop this.

Border Patrol is pulling out of Minneapolis. Bovino is ending his punitive tour of blue cities. Calls for Noem's resignation are mounting, even in conservative media. Senate Democrats are dug in now on refusing to fund DHS and ICE. "Abolish ICE" is now a mainstream position. They are losing.

Congress is supposed to work for the people — not play the stock market with insider knowledge. I never traded a single stock during my time in Congress because when you’re elected to represent your community, that should be your only focus. Ban congressional stock trading. It’s that simple.

So simply naming someone is doxxing, but taking photos and license plate numbers to create a database of the opposition for government stalking and harassment purposes is not? Naming someone is not doxxing them, and moving them to another city to kill more is conspiracy against rights.

Republicans spent the entire hearing accusing Jack Smith of prosecuting Trump for political reasons and falsely claiming he was being directed by Biden and Garland. Ironically, while they were doing that, Trump was telling Bondi on Truth Social that she should prosecute Smith.

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

Do any Republicans in Congress care about Trump grabbing oil from Venezuela, handing it off to his megadonors to sell on the international market to whoever, depositing the proceeds in foreign bank accounts, then spending the money however he sees fit with no input from Congress?
