🚨 MEASLES OUTBREAK IN U.S.: WORST YEAR SINCE DISEASE WAS ERADICATED A disease once eliminated in the U.S. is now roaring back. And we just hit a chilling milestone. 1/

While Kristi Noem’s out here blaming everyone but herself, here’s her own April press release bragging about clawing back $882M in disaster resilience grants. The kind that could’ve helped in Texas. They’d rather wage culture wars than actually protect human lives.

Thoughts and prayers don’t stop mass shootings, and they don’t stop climate disasters either. This is a tragedy Gov. Greg Abbott did nothing to prevent. He still denies that climate change is real. He won’t act, and he won’t regulate.

AOC: "On this point of tax on tips, as one of the only people in this body who has lived off of tips, I want to tell you a little bit about the scam ... the cap on that is $25,000 while you're jacking up taxes on people who make less than $50,000 across the US ... while kicking them off the ACA."

The most sobering part about becoming 1930’s Germany is realizing that no one is going to come here and liberate those being brutalized. If this historically inhumane regime is going to be overthrown, We The American People are going to have to do it.

Today wasn’t about a U.S. Senator, it was about an American citizen asking questions of their government and being met with force. My friend Alex Padilla — and every American — has the first amendment right to free speech.

So Kristi Noem goes on Fox and lies that Sen Padilla didn’t ID himself, even though the video is there for all to see. But get what she’s saying: Assaulting and handcuffing someone for trying to ask a question is OK in any case? This is a criminal regime.

Sounds like maybe Donald the Dumb is losing his marbles.

Newsom: "He's been a stone cold liar about what he said we talked about. He never discussed the National Guard. Period. Full stop. I would love to share with you what he actually talked about. It would send shivers up your spine."

The missing votes uncovered in the Rockland case are just the tip of the iceberg, which spans across the swing states & into Texas. The statistical anomalies were concentrated & targeted to swing states, Texas, & specific to Election Day voting. <The usual suspects in comments>

The irony of these insurrectionist traitors sending in the military to silence protesters is astounding. Their insane gaslighting doesn’t change the truth. Everyone knows this corrupt administration orchestrated a violent coup, so they can spare us with their bullshit, hypocritical faux outrage.

My family owes everything to America's acceptance of a refugee named Nicholas Pritzker on its shores over a century ago. My story, however, is not unique — our state and nation have been strengthened by people from across the globe seeking freedom, opportunity, and refuge here.

🚨BREAKING: Sen. Alex Padilla was just arrested fighting for immigrant rights. When I asked what made him tick, he said: “I’m the son of a housekeeper and a short-order cook.” That’s not a mugshot moment. That’s a legacy. That’s courage. Please share his story. 💙

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

Senator Padilla was forcibly removed from DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s press conference in Los Angeles while attempting to ask a question. Padilla was thrown down and handcuffed. A senator in his own state! (He has since been released.) The Trump regime is out of control.

The regime is lying. We need to hold these clowns accountable for their abhorrent actions.

Mother Jones@motherjones.com

A DHS spokesperson defended the detainment, accusing Sen. Padilla of failing to properly identify himself during Sec. Kristi Noem's press conference. But multiple videos show Padilla clearly identifying himself as a senator.

AOC to Walz: We are talking about individuals who cheered the pardoning of people who attacked the U.S. Capitol while flying the Nazi flag and the Confederate flag And they want to act offended because someone has the courage to say: if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, maybe it’s a duck.
