TRUMP: “Have you seen the crowd outside? 22,000 people watching. We love you out there. They’re watching the Jumbotrons.” 📌 The entire population of Corinth, Mississippi, is approximately 14,000 people. The man can’t even lie right.

I honestly don’t know much about El-Sayed, but this is a perfect answer from him. It’s also hilarious that Tommy used to work for Josh Hawley and was paid 250k for influencer marketing AGAINST El-Sayed. They might want to get a refund. What a spectacular backfire. The walk of shame at the end. 🤣

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

Ricardo Gonzalez, a 40-year-old U.S. citizen, was riding his e-bike in Long Beach, California, when ICE agents struck him with an unmarked vehicle and tased him twice. ICE thought he was someone else.

The GOP will forever live w/the shame of what you’ve allowed POTUS & administration in White House to do both here & around the world. Whoever would have thought YOU’d be the ones that OLD Sen. Joe McCarthy wanted to line up for treason against 🇺🇸😡

I attended the No Kings rally in Auburn CA. I spoke with people who had a variety of reasons for participating. They had one thing in common: we need EVERYONE turning out to vote.

The Washington Post reviewed a Heritage Foundation database of voter fraud cases and found 85 cases relating to allegations of noncitizens voting between 2002 and 2023. 85…over TWO DECADES. This entire administration is built on lies.

"unaccompanied children are facing rushed hearings, difficulty finding lawyers, and accelerated removal orders" The people organizing this must face consequences. It's as simple as that.

“Do you want the voluntary departure?” she asked a 15-year-old boy from Guatemala during the September hearing. Far too often, children, even younger than 5 years old, are forced to appear at immigration proceedings by themselves. It needs to stop. Now!

nytimes.com7 Years Old, No Lawyer: Migrant Children Face Deportation Hearings Alone (Gift Article)For years, the government has helped secure lawyers for minors who arrive at the southern border. But a contract dispute has forced many children to face immigration judges on their own.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but Googling something is NOT "doing your own research." Especially not if you're citing Fox News. 🤦‍♂️

Paid sick leave doesn't exist, including for #cancer patients like me. #MitchMcConnell took 92 PAID days off (and frankly continues to), directly benefiting from a policy he denies the rest of us. Meanwhile I'm teaching 5th grade every day so I don't lose benefits & income. Please help & SHARE! ❤️

Fighting #cancer is the hardest thing I've ever done. It's been an 18 year battle - now stage 4. I need to raise $ for my full body PET scan & the $4,900 Signatera tests (4x a year) insurance doesn't cover. 🔗 www.gofundme.com/f/help-a-mom... Please SHARE and help if you're able. I'm grateful. ❤️

Netanyahu made a trip to UAE yesterday, pleading with President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed to publicly deny Haaretz and NYT reporting that he personally warned him, 10 days before October 7, 2023, that Hamas was planning a major attack. The UAE refused. apnews.com/article/isra...

"In 2018, the United States unilaterally withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal. Others involved in the deal, particularly its European partners, tried to keep the deal running without the United States" Bottom line: we're we're in a war with Iran because Trump knows Obama was a better man.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

"It'll end up being ripped down" Donald Trump TELLING US what he's going to do next to the Kennedy Center. Johnson, Thune, and the rest of GOP electeds are ok with this. I'm not. Are you? We need to take to the streets again. In Washington.

abcnews.comTrump says Kennedy Center could be 'ripped down' if he doesn't get 'recognition'The president's comments come after a federal judge on Tuesday blocked the performing arts center's board from adding a tribute to Trump on the building or site.

I'm watching "Zero Dark Thirty." An opening scene shows an interrogation of an al-qaeda operative. The interrogator states that Bin Laden killed 3000 people. Elon Musk and DOGE have killed 700K people just with USAID cuts. Cuts made to keep USAID from investigating Starlink. Fucker.
