ICE is part of DHS, a massive bureaucratic clusterfuck created by "small government conservative" George W. Bush that has been sucking taxpayer dollars for the last23 years. How about affordable healthcare instead ?
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."
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.
If you’re feeling down, stressed, anxious or frightened about the situation take a walk with me up my farm track. Every year the foxgloves are full of bees living their best lives. Drink it in and give yourself a break, being you is enough! Nature is the best medicine 🩷🩷🩷
Breaking on MS NOW: The House just PASSED Democrats' discharge petition for a three year extension on enhanced Obamacare subsidies, 230-196.
17 Republicans voted with Democrats.
To Denmark and Greenland: 100 Danish forces deployed to Desert Storm. They stood with us defending sovereignty and international law. Now I watch Stephen Miller mock you on TV while my government threatens to invade Greenland. I'm a veteran and I'm ashamed beyond words. I'm so sorry.
BASH: There's no question that Maduro was a destabilizing force in the region. People are celebrating in the streets all over. Is it fair to say there's some benefit in him not being in power?
CHRIS MURPHY: What changes? You just heard Sen. Cotton not be able to explain who's running the country
If ever there were a time you might want a separate but equal branch of the United States government to run a check on the president, it would be now ….
It’s a new day in New York City, and Zohran Mamdani is asking a fundamental question that everyone else across the country should also be asking:
Who should our government work for?
That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.
Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?
It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.
Still in a state of shock trying to process the tragic loss of one of the most gifted men in the entertainment industry & his wife when the Embarrassment-in-Chief disgraces common human decency with this repulsive, deranged statement.
#NoWords 🤮
Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.
They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.
Don't fall for it.
Himes: "I think it's really important this video by made public ... it's important people see what it looks like when the full force of the US military is turned on two guys who are clinging to a piece of wood and about to go under just so they have a visceral feel for what it is we're doing"
MS Now host Rachel Maddow dropped a bomb on the double-tap incident in the Caribbean:
“It’s a catastrophe. I don’t see how Pete Hegseth survives this. He has to resign and I think Republicans will ultimately demand it. This is a disaster for this entire generation of U.S. service members.”
It really is amazing that the president has a noticeable an unexplained physical ailment that is disfiguring his right hand and there's no reporting about it. The White House's line is that it's from Trump shaking too many hands! Something is clearly being covered up.
Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."
The liars in the White House aren't "mistaken." They know they're lying. They think lying is a big part of their job. Never cut them a break by thinking they're confused or deluded. They're lying to steal the freedom of everyone you love.
Thank you to all the volunteers! Rep. Aftyn Behn reported that more than 600 volunteers turned out and knocked on 13,000 doors. Let’s flip TN’s 7th District! And if you’ve got time, they still need help!

Michael Bohacek, a Republican state senator from Indiana who has a daughter with down syndrome, says he will vote against redistricting in Indiana after Trump used the word "retarded."
🔥POWERFUL AD ABOUT ICE AGENTS: “What will you say when your kids ask you about your day? A mask can’t hide you from your neighbors, your family, God… you can walk away, but the shame will follow you home.”
Trump is a loser‼️
🚨A federal judge has dismissed the criminal cases against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James, concluding that the prosecutor who brought the charges at President Donald Trump’s urging was illegally appointed.
Mike Johnson is big mad that we forced through a petition and forced a vote on releasing the Epstein files.
So let’s do it again. This time to restore the ACA credits he stole from us:
Just to review, in the last week the President of the United States:
- Refused to condemn the rise of Neo-Nazis in his party
- Tried to block the release of further evidence he sexually abused children
- Encouraged the execution of Congressional Democrats
Those are just factual statements.
Marjorie Taylor Greene has been hated by the left for years and never feared for her life. She’s been hated by the right for two days and had to hire security.
The House takes 2 months off & finally reports back to work & promptly spends the next week filing censure motions against each other & attending black tie dinners w/Saudis while the clock counts down for 24 million people to have their health insurance premiums spike in 42 days.
Piggy has signed off on the release of the Epstein files.
There is a loophole in the law that lets the DOJ withhold anything they deem is part of an active investigation.
It’s precisely what Piggy is counting on.
I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.
Raskin: "This is the USA. Even the British monarchy wouldn't put up with this! How about the American democracy? How about we say, no way, we're not gonna allow this coverup to go on for one day more."
