The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.

Today marks the Day of Remembrance for the Victims of Babyn Yar—one of last century’s most painful tragedies. In 1941, the Nazi regime began mass executions of civilians in Kyiv, murdering over 100,000 Jews, Ukrainians, and Roma. Never forget this heinous crime so that new ones don’t happen🕯️🧵

"An admission that the American president offered to sell arms to China is extraordinary.

Adam Hoffman was convicted of raping his friend's young son. He should be in jail, but Paxton used his power to get him on a misdemeanor. That means he only served for 60 days, didn't have to register as a sex offender in Texas, and then left the state.

Ken Paxton: The criticism has been that I let a child predator out after one day. Well guess what? They served 60 days.

A reminder that Nazi Musk created a fake voter registration website called “Vote Safe.” It is far from safe as it was made to steal information from voters. Never go into that site, ever. Please let everyone know.

Her Death Was Avoidable Tierra Walker begged doctors for an abortion as she deteriorated. Over 100 doctors in Texas treated her. Not one mentioned the lifesaving treatment she needed. Her 14-year-old son cried, screaming "I need you!" She Died Anyway. jessica.substack.com/p/texas-tier...

Of course Trump wants to celebrate and now pay his Jan 6 terrorists who attacked Capitol to help him. It's exactly what Hitler did when he became Chancellor of Germany for those who waged his attempted coup in 1923. Trump is not original. Nazis before him did the exact same thing.

We FOIA’d the Department of Defense and after multiple follow ups, we finally heard back. The illegal militarization of Los Angeles and federalization of the Cal Guard cost taxpayers at least $111.2 MILLION — and that’s not including civilian costs.

Goddammit! Enough is enough! Now Trump's claiming to have RESURRECTED THE DEAD with a drug here! READ THIS AGAIN. THEN LISTEN TO HIM. How much is enough?

Trump: "We've taken people that were dead. We had a person given the last rites -- gone, the kids are crying and everything -- and started them on this drug. And the person became better. It works."

I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party. We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness — or one rooted in cruelty and rage.

US Citizen, Ruben Ray Martinez, was shot 3 times through the driver's side window & killed on South Padre Island in Texas by Homeland Security Investigators while celebrating his 23rd birthday on March 15th, 2025. This DHS & #ICELawlessness must stop. Remember his name: Ruben Ray Martinez 💔

A lot of people, including me, were wondering how an IRB could ever approve this study. The answer is that no IRB did. The person who “signed off” on approval from the only ethics board that reviewed it had resigned three years earlier. His signature was used without his knowledge.

This a great piece of investigative journalism. @rollingstone.com This should be required reading for scientists and ethicists. Ethics matter, especially in science. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

An ICE agent shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a US citizen and San Antonio resident, in March 2025. Then ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety covered it up. He was 23 years old. I am calling for a full investigation into this shooting, including why there was an 8-month cover up.

Don't congratulate John Roberts or the Supreme Court. Congratulate Rick Woldenberg, the Chicago-area leader of Learning Resources, an educadtional toy company that had the courage to sue the president of the United States to save his family business. As well as everyone else who stepped up.

“As the airplane took off, Epstein started touching me forcibly in between my legs, and I freaked out. I realized, this is not a modeling opportunity, I've been kidnapped. They whisked me away to the island. I was stuck there. They never arranged any modeling opportunities, I was completely conned."

Sad news out of Tumbler Ridge BC. A mass school shooting has taken 10 victims with 27 injured. This will devastate such a small community. This has to be the worst mass shooting ever in our Province. So sorry for the families, friends & entire community.
