Maine is in absolute outrage! Protesters took over Senator Susan Collins’ office chanting "VOTE HER OUT" after an ICE thug brutally executed a 26-year-old Colombian man. They are demanding immediate accountability for this state-sponsored murder! Enough is enough!

Thomas Massie: “It’s ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, and the White House, and we’re yelling ‘election fraud’? We won all the damn elections.”

Murray: Is it true that people making under $184,000 pay a 12.4% Social Security tax rate? Dahl: Yes. Murray: And what is the rate for someone making $1,000,000? Dahl: 2.2%.

Thou shalt not whitewash a Senator’s lifelong racism and warmongering. You will all be remembered accordingly for your words and deeds.

The whole nation is unified in demanding ICE be permanently abolished! Keep hammering away at them! There are far more of us than there are these rogue terrorists. We will defeat them!!

AOC: I said this a couple of weeks ago: I would not be surprised if, when ICE funding started up again, we would start to see more civilian deaths at the hands of ICE. And that’s exactly what has happened. We didn’t see things like this happening with the same degree when we froze ICE funding.

For America's 250th, I read Frederick Douglass’ speech, “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” on the House floor—for the first time in history. His speech endures as a mirror & mandate for us all—to confront our inequities while fighting for an America as good as its promise.

This should be happening everywhere! Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont signed SB 397, requiring ICE & other law enforcement to operate without masks & with visible identification, while expanding accountability for constitutional rights violations. Transparency & accountability matter! #SheShed

Mamdani: "As we mark 250 years ... we see the wealthiest country -- one where children go to sleep hungry while the world's first trillionaire hungers for more ... we see masked agents terrorizing our streets, eating food cooked by undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away in unmarked vans"

AOC: These are two young, talented, intelligent women who got elected against all odds, against millions of dollars. Perhaps there is something we can learn from them.

I am profoundly ashamed of how our government treated the Iranian soccer team. They were classy the whole time. But FIFA cheated to get them out. And we treated them like shit. Not the fans. The fans were great. But the officials and organizers were ghastly. We started the war with Iran.

NEW FROM ME: This morning, a federal judge in Maryland handed the DOJ its ninth defeat in a series of 31 cases the department has filed to gain access to state voter files. The DOJ has yet to win a single one. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/dojs...

democracydocket.comDOJ's losing streak just might save the midtermsWe have already sued to block Trump's anti-voting executive orders. If the USPS adopts an anti-voting rule, we will bring litigation to stop it.

1. Voters elected someone manifestly unfit for the presidency. 2. Elected GOP failed to do their duty and instead gave POTUS cover for widespread lawbreaking (Dem response mixed). 3. The President launched an illegal war. 4. Now, no good outcomes available, here’s to hoping we get the least bad.

He's lying. You know why we know? WE HAVE THE AGREEMENT HE SIGNED!!!! Here's the operative language: "The U.S. undertakes, together with regional partners, a comprehensive plan...for the rehabilitation and economic development of Iran...of at least $300 billion."

There isn’t any defense of gun ownership I don’t care what your identity or political leaning is. Guns are extremely rarely used in self defense and every harmful use of them including accidental injury/death is several times more likely than a defensive gun use.
