Mike Johnson just said if you are for reducing the deficit, this bill is for you. The bill adds 3-4 trillion dollars to the deficit. They just lie.

700 Marines are being sent to L.A.—deployed on U.S. soil, against civilians. This isn’t border security. It’s martial optics meant to intimidate, not protect. Now Trump says he supports Tom Homan arresting Gov. Gavin Newsom—for what? Not backing Trump's manufactured crisis?! This is un-American.

at the risk of sound like bill bennett, where exactly are the men in these boy’s lives? the fathers? coaches? anyone genuinely concerned with their lives?

Essay: A senior at an all boys high school on the appeal of the Tate brothers: In a confusing time for young men, they offer “answers that are appealingly simple.”

"Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press." Without freedom of the press, democracy withers. On #WorldPressFreedomDay, we recommit to protecting journalists and the First Amendment rights that protect all of us.

Listen to Black women… “The attacks are not random. They seem designed to intimidate those of us who serve in this critical capacity” “The threats & harassment are attacks on our democracy, on our system of government. And they ultimately risk undermining our Constitution & the rule of law” - KBJ

So Trump wants to raise taxes on the American people but he does not want anyone to know he's raising taxes on the American people do I have that right.

AOC: We heard that we should take your word that Medicaid will be protected — that we should trust you that no one is going to be affected by this. But as a woman, the word was given that my rights would not be taken away by the Supreme Court — and that wasn’t true.

Stephen Miller, White House deputy chief of staff for policy, has begun baselessly claiming that birthright citizenship is a massive welfare scam. Miller has previously endorsed a theory called “remigration” that refers to the forcible removal of non–ethnically European immigrants.

This is what a rigged economy looks like: In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker. In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker. This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker. That has got to change.

Walz: "This is how government is supposed to work. It's not supposed to be one old man in the Oval Office sending out middle of the night tweets that shock markets into free fall. It's not supposed to be a bunch of 20 somethings unelected and firing everyone. It's not supposed to be chaos."

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

The State tells employees to tell on each other for "anti-Christian bias". How about anti-Muslim bias? Anti-Jewish bias? Anti Hindu-bias? What happened to the Separation between Church and State? #FuckMarcoRubio

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

Nearly 20,000 IRS workers gone under Trump’s second buyout—on Tax Day. That’s one-fifth of the agency. This isn’t “draining the swamp.” It’s clearing the way. You don’t gut the IRS unless you’re planning something big—and don’t want anyone watching.
