Prime Minister Péter Magyar inaugural speech: "The psyche of the whole country was poisoned by politics that was artificially inciting hatred. The Hungarian state is not allowed to do anything like this ever again... This era is, once and for all, finished."

82 years after being lost to the jungles of New Guinea my great uncle Sonny has been laid to rest back on American soil. Sonny was a fighter pilot who went down on Black Sunday. April 16 1944. Through dna he was identified and the army somehow found my 93 year old mother. RIP Austin Klein Neely Jr

Decision makers are betting on Trump’s war with Iran & getting rich doing it – literally gambling with our troops' lives. Introduced the BETS OFF Act with Senator Murphy, Rep. Ansari & Rep. Casar to stop prediction markets from letting insiders wager on outcomes they control.

Last night, a globally unpopular narcissist, who is old and ill, flailing and faltering, facing allegations, desperately in need of contriving grandiosity and avoiding humiliation, filled with malice and disdain for the rule of law, and does not see beyond himself, took action.

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him. “When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

“I watched him die… then I watched them maneuver his body like a rag doll— only to discover it was because they wanted to count the bullet wounds and see how many they ‘got’, like he was a deer.”

Our country is not falling apart because Trump got elected, but because it became the kind of country that would elect such a horror. Trump is not our disease, but the worst symptom of what we have become. He no longer cares about our skin colour. If we "disobey", we get killed. #ReneeNicoleGood

The government is saying that violence rules. That snatching foreign leaders and territories, and shooting US citizens in their cars at point blank range, is justified. That resistance is not only futile, it is dangerous. They can say these things. But they cannot force us to believe them.

While we spend years on Drumpf’s get-rich-quick scam/vengeance tour, our government isn’t focused on critical threats like cyber security for utilities and climate-related food shortages. We’re wasting time on one man’s drama and greed and he won’t even be here to see the impact of his dereliction.

Chicago is not a war zone — and Trump should not be sending in the National Guard or militarizing our cities. Kevin Fee, Legal Director of ACLU of Illinois, is challenging Trump’s unconstitutional actions against Chicago and its community members in court.

“…Please stop repeating ‘The Epstein Ballroom’ because it is not called ‘The Epstein Ballroom!’…”

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

Swalwell: There’s going to be a Democratic majority in just over a year. To the FCC chairperson and anyone in involved in these dirty deals: get a lawyer and save your records because you’re going to be in this room answering questions

Reality jolt ⚡️ Meet Caroline, a former TPUSA insider. She saw firsthand how Kirk’s world runs on cruelty, trolling, and blind obedience. It took years to admit the truth. NOTE: recorded in July, before Charlie Kirk’s murder, which makes it hit even harder.

Truth bomb‼️ This man should be the one speaking on college campuses… “They’re planning for us to turn on each other and make this culture war a civil war. I am begging you, please, for the love of God, for the love of our neighbors… do not take the bait.” Watch

Holy shit. This legit gave me chills. Texas State Rep. Ann Johnson clapped back at GOP members amid Wednesday's redistricting vote. WHITE WOMEN, this is the model. We have more power than others. We are the last to be silenced. We have a responsibility to SPEAK so others are HEARD.

I met with El Rancho School District leaders after an alarming incident involving ICE agents on campus. Trespassing. Indecent exposure. We’re seeking answers from DHS & ICE because this behavior cannot go unchecked.
 
Here’s my update ⬇️

MUST WATCH: Oceanside CA: Militarized DHS (HSI) smashed windows, assault rifles drawn, tossed flashbangs and sent drones into the apartment which had 2 kids inside. They then told neighbors they were going to use tear gas, and they’d probably be exposed. Please share widely. WTF

LA RESIDENT: “The cruelty is staggering. People are hiding in their homes from the federal government like Anne Frank. If you’re a Christian and you’re still supporting this you’ve lost your mind. You’re not gonna get a job because of what they’re doing. Absolute brutality.”

Donald Trump and the Republicans that enable him are directly responsible for creating a culture of fear in our communities because of the cruel, lawless actions they’ve engaged in. Your voice matters. Keep making it heard.

I think I’ve found the waste, fraud, and abuse. It’s sending a “half a dozen cars with heavily armed ICE agents” to arrest THE WRONG GUY, wandering around a single family home, with the Sec’y of DHS cosplaying out front for the cameras while guys w/machine guns terrorize kids and a pregnant woman.

Booker: He was made to kneel before the authority of the executive… They treated a member of the United States senate violently after he identified himself, dragged him out of a room, threw him upon the ground, and put him in handcuffs

Newsom: This is a national order. We’re talking about you and your state, your own backyard, all depending on the whim of a president who’s unhinged. Depending on how he’s feeling on a particular day, or who’s offended him because he didn’t like what they said on a Fox News clip.

At IKEA in Burbank on Saturday. While waiting to pay for ice cream, I looked around in awe that there we at least nine different nationalities within my field of vision. That is why I love LA. The richness of our diversity. If more MAGAs were exposed to other cultures they wouldn’t be so afraid

As LBJ said 60 years ago, freedom is not just opening the gates of opportunity. True freedom is ensuring everyone has the ability to walk through them.

WATCH: “This is how Fox spreads disinformation. It’s sad to see Alexis McAdams be part of that machine.” Receipts of Fox News lying to their audience about the arrest of Mayor Ras Baraka with false headlines and selectively edited clips. As usual.
