Jared Kushner has sat with Putin for the United States and still hasn’t filed a single financial disclosure. CREW just sued him. The White House and State Department both said they have nothing. #ElectionHeroesVoteEarly

The top 10% of richest Americans own 87% of stocks. The top 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks. When Trump touts the stock market as a sign of a good economy, remember who is benefiting the most.

The science is in, we have the solutions to most of our troubles, the problem isn't one of knowing what to do or how to do it, the problem is the politicians are being paid off by corporations to do what's profitable, instead of what's right. What we need most immediately Is different politicians.

ICE-Gestapo has murdered yet another person, this time in Maine, 26 year old father from Colombia Joan Sebastian Guerrero. He was authorized to work in the US and he was issued a social security number. ICE aren’t agents, they are terrorist killers.

Did you know wolves are born with blue eyes and as they age malanin develops in their eyes and the color gradually transitions to a golden-yellow.

“His is a special kind of loathsomeness: a blend of historical deafness, grotesque stupidity, and comically ludicrous self-importance. As if the little people’s rage against immigration somehow is superior to the war with the Third Reich and entitles this comic-book nobody to lecture actual heroes.”

They paused Oversight Committee hearings the minute we started getting answers about the Epstein files. Now it’s “roundtables”: no rules, no oaths, no subpoenas. You do the math. Because the moment accountability shows up, they shut it down. The survivors deserve better.

This is 18-mo-old Amalia waving to me when she was detained. She was hospitalized with a respiratory infection while at ICE’s Dilley facility for immigrant families. She’s one of dozens of detainees who I spoke to via video and phone calls, letters and an in-person visit. 🧵1/

This is a wild departure from past practices. All the talk of the “Worst of the Worst” is a lie. Usually between 50-75 percent of ICE deportees have criminal records. We’ve turned ICE from a crime-fighting org into a racial profiling and ethnic cleansing operation.

loved every second of Bad Bunny. That message of inclusion and a celebration of cultures like Puerto Rico’s is just what America needs right now. Plus, his music just gets you in motion. 10/10

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken. Hundreds of kids are still detained. We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

RAND PAUL: If a country bombed our air defense missiles, captured & removed our president, & blockaded our country, would that be considered an act of war? RUBIO: We just don't believe this operation comes anywhere close to the constitutional definition PAUL: Of course it would be an act of war!

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

🇫🇷 Macron: Competition from the U.S. aims to subordinate Europe; it is unacceptable. Trade wars and protectionist escalation will only produce losers. This is a time of peace, stability and predictability. More than 60 wars in 2024, an absolute record, even if I understood a few of them were fixed.

It’s time for the Supreme Court to finally issue a ruling on tariffs. The Court has already recognized that tariffs function as a tax on the American people. A president cannot unilaterally impose new taxes on American citizens that power belongs to Congress alone.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.

Martin Luther King Jr. understood better than almost anyone that racial justice and economic justice are inextricably intertwined. Watch his powerful call to end poverty from his final Sunday Sermon.
