Henry Cuellar: Dem in name only - Pardoned by Trump - Voted to make it harder for women to vote, requiring passports/ marriage certificates at the polls - Indicted for accepting foreign bribes TX-28 deserves real representation Dr. Ricardo Villarreal can beat Cuellar in the March 3 Dem primary

Yikes. Trump has bankrupted the Kennedy Center.

Trump saved Ken Paxton in the primary, and now he's spending hundreds of millions to save him in the general. And Paxton just stabbed him in the back. Extraordinary betrayal.

The felon's plan to pay off J6 thugs is not just corruption, it is buying their action to go to the mat for him during & after the Nov election. If Dems win, thugs lose their payday. This isn't to reward them for the past, it's to pay them in advance for future violence.

Trump was indicted on this day for cheating to get elected in 2016. Guess what? He was also convicted. He should never have been allowed to destroy evidence after his fake assassination considering his past election crimes related felony convictions.

I just paid $54.73 to fill my car with gas for the week. Before Trump’s war foolishness it was around $35 bucks a tank.

I am often asked what laws I would recommend blue states adopt. While there is no one-size-fits-all approach, there are seven changes every state could adopt right now, for virtually no cost or administrative burden. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/seve...

This story is insane. Married an American, arrested at her greencard interview, flown out of state, nearly killed multiple times when her diabetes was ignored and then mistreated. When she finally got out? Found out her credit card had been used illegally. www.daylightsandiego.org/san-diego-wo...

So we now know: - Israel was behind Iran "riots" - Israel started an illegal war no credible US expert supported - US "negotiators" were 2 Zionist property developers - US first action was murder 185 school kids Yet turn on BBC/RTE and they'll tell you Iran is the aggressor

The fact that a Dem is flipping the MarALago district by less than 800 votes is delicious.

Thanks to Donald Trump, I am now putting more effort into planning if I can afford to get to work in the coming months than he put into unleashing the entire might of the US military on another country.

Casar to Collins: "I empathize with you, Kaitlan, having to try to put up the White House's argument, but they argue against themselves. It's clear they have absolutely no plan, and here they are playing with live ammo."

Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy. What's required is investment in working people — and better wages. When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs. Remember this.

Because lawless ICE goons are harassing, arresting, and murdering people who are citizens, you idiot.

Let them know that the Heritage Foundation found only 99 cases of non-citizen voting since 1982. The Act is based on an outright lie. It's not about preventing undocumented immigrants from voting. The sole purpose is to make it more difficult for citizens (mostly women) to vote.

We did not properly punish the confederates. We did not properly punish the insurrectionists on January 6th. We have to punish ICE. They can’t be allowed to slink back into their communities quietly. Expose them. Arrest them. Convict them. Imprison them.

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

Hey Congress, make yourself useful and slap some regulations on the use of our private personal data by third parties… or better yet, these armed thugs.

Both of Nevada's senators--Catherine Cortez Masto and Jacky Rosen--have officially come out against the DHS funding bill following the execution of Alex Pretti by ICE agents in Minneapolis this morning. This effectively ends the DHS funding bill in the Senate.

Reporters should be asking congressional Republicans what *other* kinds of Americans they think deserve to be executed in the street by the president's goon squad. "So you support the murder of a mom and a VA nurse, but what about an Eagle Scout or a kindergarten teacher? How about a priest?"

years and years of avoiding plain language and the active voice do make the choice to use it more impactful, I suppose

The official policy of the government of the United States of America is that they will murder anyone they want, that they will tell any lie necessary to justify that murder, and that no one who resists them has any rights they are bound to respect. /1

DHS is lying again. Alex Pretti was not resisting. He was being held to the ground by multiple agents when he was executed. His crime? Helping a woman who’d been pushed down by ICE. All three video angles sync’d and slowed, showing he was unarmed and not resisting: streamable.com/udofq5?src=p...

Not only do ICE get rewards for everyone they detain, the private prisons that house ICE detainees are paid per the number of incarcerated persons, per day. The incentive structure here couldn’t be more corrupt. Congress has a responsibility to curb ICE’s power, and to make private prisons illegal

Giving ICE the benefit of the doubt / presumption of regularity shows Booker’s grave naivety. Renee Good’s murder was an INTENTIONAL hate crime and abuse of power. 10-year ICE guy, Ross, knew he’d not be held to account. “Training,” vs. disbanding, a violent, unaccountable paramilitary ain’t it.

Good news: Your organizing has grounded “ICE Air.”

So, correct me if I’m wrong, but all you have to do to abduct a woman now is dress in camo, cover your face and have a gun and we have to submit or risk death? How are we supposed to know if you’re ICE or not?

ICE beat a U.S. Marine Veteran, telling her: “Have you not learned? This is why we killed that lesbian bitch!” Credit to @statuscoupnews.bsky.social for the interview.

Spotify chose to run ICE ads all of last year, as ICE’s actions became more brutal and more deadly. The company’s confirmation that it is no longer running ICE recruitment ads does not signal a newfound moral compass.

It’s about time this corrupt DOJ was held in contempt.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but even if you fail to “follow orders” you shouldn’t be shot in the head and killed. People saying Renee Nicole Good should have just “done as she was told” are ignoring the fact that ICE can’t just execute people who don’t do what they say.

You have to go through Congress for anything resembling this type of war. Round up Massie and Paul types and have him removed. The people in this administration are on actual drugs and have insatiable bloodlust and bespoke mental illnesses. He has to go, and everybody with him.

Three million people live in Caracas, five million in the metro area. It's one of the densest cities in South America. Remember this in the morning when they try to spin this as anything other than a cold-blooded attack on a major civilian center.

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation. I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

Isn’t it odd that when a member of an immigrant ethnic group commits a crime, right-wing white guys want to deport the entire group, but when a right-wing white guy commits a crime, the other right-wing white guys don’t volunteer to deport themselves.

Number of people who go bankrupt every year because of medical bills or illness-related work loss: 🇦🇺 0 🇨🇦 0 🇩🇰 0 🇫🇮 0 🇫🇷 0 🇩🇪 0 🇮🇸 0 🇮🇪 0 🇮🇹 0 🇯🇵 0 🇳🇱 0 🇳🇴 0 🇵🇹 0 🇪🇸 0 🇸🇪 0 🇬🇧 0 🇺🇸 530,000 There’s a lesson there.

I’ve been thinking a lot about this. Another question that belongs in the same conversation: Why would anyone intentionally create or entrench conditions where others live in a state of desperation? Those who benefit from exploiting others need a ready supply of desperate people to exploit.

Trump wags the dog. They’re so abysmally corrupt, predictable, and boring. Congress needs to do its job and impeach before more innocent people die.

I hastily cancelled my 15-year long Spotify premium subscription in October, horrified by what I learned they were doing with my money. Made the switch to Qobuz yesterday. Seamless transition. Familiar interface. They have all my music (unlike Tidal). Thrilled to have the soundtrack to my life back!

The US government is summarily executing people on a weekly basis without telling the American people any of their names or presenting any proof of their guilt, for alleged crimes that do not carry the death penalty in the US.
