A DoorDash driver did not pose a threat when we was shot in the back by ICE goons. They then refused to render aid and so a local police officer had to intervene and find the bullet hole. The bullet is still in his back after a day & they didn't give him medication for the pain. Sadistic monsters.

Trump’s bunker fortress will be completed in the summer of 2028. He plans on never leaving. You have until then to remove him.

Ken Paxton has spent more than a decade running from debates. He said he’d debate James Talarico. Then he missed deadline after deadline. Today Talarico accepted CNN’s invitation. Paxton still hasn’t. A coward who won’t stand on a stage and answer questions isn’t ready to represent Texas.

I switched to MapQuest because they were the only such app that didn’t rename the Gulf of Mexico. It’s far from perfect, but I’m sticking with it now more than ever.

Everything coming out of the White House is propaganda. Think on that for a moment: everything that every American citizen is being told by this administration…is a lie….told for the purpose of manipulating a big part of the nation into grinning…while their pockets are being picked.

No one should profit off of people suffering in horrifying ICE detention camps. Period.

Why are lobbies spending $70 million on primary races? Can anyone tell me?

Uber Eats and DoorDash hid tip buttons and set default tips below 10%. As a result, tips for delivery workers fell 79%.  In January, we made these corporations change their apps — and in the past six months, we've put $104 million back in delivery workers' pockets.  This is only the beginning.

As Measles cases hit a 35 year high, as a senseless war rages on with no exit plan, as gas climbs to record highs, and the Epstein files remain secret, the U.S. Senate is holding a hearing today to yell at Dr. Fauci and again push horse dewormer on the American public.

We're thrilled to have honored Colin Kaepernick as one of the recipients of the ACLU Ralph Ellison Award this past weekend. Colin's dedication to racial justice and youth civic participation has shifted advocacy in professional sports, and made our nation better.

Trying to imagine the Fox News coverage if a Democratic President spent the entire weekend shoving himself into team photos for the World Cup while American soldiers were being killed overseas.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

@realdonaldtrump YOUR ICE force has killed a person in Maine. After the killings of Good, Pretti, and Araujo, without accountability, we cannot trust YOUR Homeland Security or Justice dept. to investigate ICE. “We The People” demand accountability and Congressional oversight.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was murdered by ICE. His three sons called him “El mundo entero” — the whole world. They watched as their whole world died in a video posted on Facebook. Lorenzo was our neighbor and fellow Texan. He deserves justice.

Buttigieg: You can see it in the carnival of corruption that is Washington, D.C., today. The leader of the free world flying around in a secondhand jumbo jet from a foreign country while he makes a billion dollars on crypto deals propped up by foreign leaders.

MAJOR BREAKING: Hunter Biden has been awarded $1.7 MILLION in a defamation lawsuit against Trump adviser Patrick Byrne, who falsely accused him of seeking an $800 million bribe from Iran in exchange for influencing U.S. policy. Lies have consequences.

ICE does not need more power. Not when agents can stop the wrong person. Not when they can kill a man on his way to work. Not when they can do it without body cameras. The Supreme Court should be checking this violence. Not enabling it.

Egypt fans being pulled aside, patted down, and double-checked before the Argentina vs. Egypt match, while Argentina supporters were allowed to walk through security without the same level of screening. And this is exactly why people keep accusing FIFA of double standards.
