Lorenzo Salgado Araujo Joan Sebastian Guerrero Ruben Ray Martinez Alex Pretti Renee Good Dozens of other innocent lives. These deaths aren’t mistakes. They’re the result of choices. Policy choices. Funding choices. Choices to not hold this Administration accountable. It’s time to SHUT. IT. DOWN!

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.

When we win, the first bill I’m filing is a comprehensive anti-corruption package: Overturn Citizens United Ban corporate PACs and super PACs Ban members of Congress from trading stocks Once we defeat the most corrupt politician in America, we can defeat this entire corrupt system.

Since taking office, Ken Paxton has become a multi-millionaire while our pay has stagnated. He owns 11 homes while most Texans can’t afford one. He trades favors with rich donors while blocking overtime pay for workers. Paxton doesn’t serve us — he serves himself.

BREAKING: A New World Screwworm (NWS) has been found in a West Texas dog. This is more than just about cattle. It's about all of us: our livestock, our pets, our health. We need to do everything possible to fight the NWS. We're fighting the Screwworm with one arm tied behind our backs.

Welker: "You insisted no new wars." Trump: "First of all, I didn't guarantee no war." Welker: "You said it over and over again."

I don't understand how it's even a debate in cities, counties, or states. Datacenters are stealing the utilities, ruining the water - their owners do NOT live in the places they ruin. They should be controlled and regulated so stiffly they have to fix every bit of anything they ruin.

Rep. Lieu: “The Supreme Court is out of control, out of touch with the American people…This is the most corrupt Supreme Court we’ve seen in our history, and reform is going to come next year."

Frankel to Rubio: "It is crazy that you want to let people in from South Africa because they can assimilate, while you're throwing out hundreds of thousands of people who have already assimilated and that are important parts of our economy and family life."

Watching a series of former Confederate states rush to eliminate any vestige of black representation in the House pretty much answers the question whether the Voting Rights Act was still necessary.

“I haven’t eaten” ~ “I’m sorry” WTF? When I was in school at least they gave kids a PBJ sandwich! For some kids, school lunch is their only meal & Republicans still cut back SNAP benefits so the 🤡 & Kegsbreath could play Battleship in the Strait!

Charlize Theron on the Night Her Mother Killed Her Father in Self-Defense Unfortunately, this is not an isolated story. These things are prevalent in a lot of homes. Women really get a very, very unfair shake, even in this country. Nobody takes it seriously.

Tesla. Disney. CVS Health. United Airlines. PayPal. Billions in profits. $0 in federal corporate income taxes. That money should be funding schools, healthcare, and public services. This is why people are mad as hell.

Remember: The richest 1% evade roughly $160 billion in taxes every year. That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare. Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

McGowan: You're saying 46 Americans died, so we should attack this country. Here at home, 68,000 Americans die a year because they don't have health insurance. So, if we're going to spend billions of dollars on something…

I just want to live in a country where the leader can’t enrich themselves with our tax dollars, the government does what the people want, and the wealthy have to follow the laws. You know, like a democracy.

Les Wexner is trying to downplay his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, but we aren't buying it. Not only did Mr. Wexner give Epstein A TON of money, but he even signed the infamous "birthday book." We won't stop until all of Epstein's co-conspirators are exposed.

A tariff “refund” mostly goes to whoever wrote the tariff check: the importer of record. That’s not the same person who paid more at the register. So refunds -- if they're offered -- might sound like consumer relief, but in reality, they're corporate windfalls.
