Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story. follow me if you support this man

The cost of food has risen faster than overall inflation in the last year.

At first BlueSky seemed a safe and reasonable place... already a bunch of crazies.

insane idiot

The governing party of the United States is shutting down the federal government to cover-up evidence the president sexually abused children so he can continue trying to implement dictatorship. That's just a true statement about the world!

When ICE agents questioned a group of 11- to 14-year-olds who’d just finished batting practice, their coach, Youman Wilder, stepped in. “I’m willing to die to make sure these kids can get home,” he recounted afterward.

Videos reveal harsh conditions inside Ice’s New York City confinement center

What the hell is going on at McArthur Park in Los Angeles, CA! Looks like these militarized thugs are doing some kind of federal disappearing operation on street vendors in the park. This is only going to get worse with the new bloated ICE budget. #UnMaskICE

It’s Brad Lander’s victory, too. The former New York City mayoral candidate weighs in on Zohran Mamdani's historic victory, the baseless accusations of antisemitism, and what comes next.

So Ghislaine Maxwell is serving 20 years for trafficking girls to nobody?!?!

MacArthur Park Federal agents need to leave and they need leave right now!

There’s a weird thing on this website and lots of left-wing subcultures, where people love to throw around “liberal” as an insult, but from what I can tell liberals voted overwhelmingly against Cuomo and are rallying behind Zohran now.

Schrier to RFK Jr: You gave Cassidy the answer he needed to hear in order to get his confirmation vote, then as soon as you were secretary you turned around & fired all 17 members. You lied. I also want to be clear that I will lay all responsibility for every vaccine-preventable death at your feet.

Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s defeat was perhaps most satisfying to the dozen or so women who accused him of sexual harassment.

Big VOTES aiming to hit the SENATE FLOOR this week: ⚠️ Floor vote on Tim Kaine's War Powers Resolution - Potentially THURS 🚨 Floor vote on H.R. 1 the "One Big (Bullshit) Bill Act" - As early as THURS Call your Senators --> 5calls.org

Emil Bove has been a key voice in the Trump admin’s decisions to defy court orders and ship immigrants to foreign prisons. No wonder Trump has now nominated him to serve a lifetime appointment as a federal judge. Demand your Senators oppose Bove's confirmation! 🔥📞🔥 --> 5calls.org/issue/emil-b...

Newsom: "This is what he does. He creates a problem and then he tries to be a hero in his own Marvel movie ... he initiated those raids. He significantly increased the scale and scope of those raids. That's why he wants the National Guard."

Yesterday, House Republicans passed a bill to rescind funding for lifesaving programs that fight the HIV/AIDS epidemic and help people around the world access food and clean water. This bill will kill people. We'll keep fighting against it as it heads to the Senate. youtube.com/shorts/vvb65...

The state of California needs to arrest the DHS "security" forces for assault and every Democrat in the U.S. Senate needs to sign onto a campaign to impeach Kristi Noem. Right fucking now.

Show up please

By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference. But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

unlike Vietnam or Afghanistan at least the Marines coming to.L.A. know exactly what this fight is all about

“Scott said, ‘You’re a fraud. You’re a total fraud' ... Musk then rammed his shoulder into Bessent’s rib cage 'like a rugby player,' Bannon said, and Bessent hit him back."

BREAKING: ICE RAID IN PARAMOUNT, CA. At least 2 protesters arrested for resisting law enforcement. They’re snatching people while cameras roll. If you’re nearby, STAY SAFE. If you’re not, PAY ATTENTION. This is happening. Right now.

"my brothers you think you're doing the right thing," one demonstrator says to police "you're not.

Horrendous

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles. Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

EVERYBODY WATCH. ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL. Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today. He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader. Don’t turn away.

ICYMI — ICE DIRECTOR: “These are real people with real families you’re hurting.” He says this not about immigrants… but about ICE agents. A record-setting lack of self-awareness.

Trump’s reckless and discriminatory travel ban doesn’t make us safer. All it will do is further isolate the United Statesfrom our allies and weaken our global leadership.

POCAN: Is the federal govt currently spending less this year than it did last year? VOUGHT: No, it's not POCAN: Part of that is because you've sent us a recession package worth $9b that goes after Big Bird and Cookie Monster, but you've added $200b to Defense and Homeland Security.

One might have thought that last November, when Missourians voted to enshrine “reproductive freedom" in the state constitution, that would have been the end of the conversation. Alas, the Missouri Supreme Court doesn’t seem to be inclined to listen. This week, the court halted abortions.

Her stats line up with CDC data…

Today, I was denied access to seeing my constituent, Mr. Kilmar Abrego Garcia. If there is nothing to hide, cut the crap. Let his lawyer and I check on him.

Trump understands that tariff threats like the ones he posted this morning move markets downward. He's not ignorant about that dynamic. The question is which person or interest around him is gaining from it.

The U.S. has officially accepted a luxury jetliner from Qatar as a gift, and slated it to become a new Air Force One. Experts say that overhaul could take years and cost hundreds of millions.

Trump wont say who will be attending his meme-coin all-access VIP dinner because it’s on his “personal time.” He’s the “President”. He doesn’t punch a time card and magically stop having that job. If he’s meeting with Kim Jong Un or Kanye f’ng West, the American people have a right to know.

“Habeas corpus is the legal principle that requires the government to provide a public reason for detaining and imprisoning people. If not for that protection, the government could simply arrest people, including American citizens, and hold them indefinitely for no reason.”

Noem’s statement is true in the Trumpian sense. It’s an answer that, however wrong and stupid in our reality, conveys loyalty to Trump and defiance of anything not-Trump. That’s what being right means to Trumpers.

Absurd.. but what is new?

I stand with her

JUST IN: At least five conservative Supreme Court justices appeared ready to rule that Trump’s birthright citizenship restriction may go into effect.
