Waiting to do this during pride month is vile, hateful, and repugnant. Add this to the litany of reasons that this clown should resign (no hate to actual clowns meant).

Neguse: There’s a ridiculous contempt provision that would essentially try to stop federal courts—or limit their ability—from enforcing contempt orders. Why? Because they know the Trump administration is losing in every federal court in the land…

Secretary Rubio can't answer the question because there's no constitutional reason why Rümeysa Öztürk was detained.

Writing an op-ed is not a crime.
I just asked Marco Rubio if he really thinks that Rümeysa Öztürk’s op-ed is a foreign policy threat to the United States.

He couldn’t even answer the question.

My wife is a infant and maternal mortality researcher focusing on better outcomes for Medicaid. Her federal funding has recently been cut.

Let's be clear: Cutting this and planned parenthood is a death sentence to low income mothers and infants, a majority of which are non-white.

That is the plan.

This is a HUGE scandal.

Elon Musk, JD Vance, and Trump are lying about Social Security fraud.

Internal documents show DOGE found "no significant fraud"—but did slow retirement claim processing by 25%.

Nothing efficient about making it harder for people to get their benefits.
DOGE went looking for phone fraud at SSA — and found almost none
Since SSA installed new anti-fraud checks on claims made over the phone, only two claims out of over 110,000 were found to likely be fraudulent, according to internal documents obtained by Nextgov/FCW...

Listen, ACAB, right? But I really thought it would take more than a deportation quota to turn a federal agency into the American Gestapo.
Please highlight this story.

ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago.

It's nice to see that someone out there is actually fighting for some reform within the Democratic party. I have voted for you all for years, and been excited about it... not very much.

Keep it up.

So, @kenmartin.bsky.social let me get this straight. To keep people from putting their thumb on the scale of elections, you're going to *checks notes* make sure no one is raising money outside of the current group of insiders.

So, let me get this straight.

We deported him accidentally but no we didn't.
He isn't a criminal but is a violent gang member.
El Salvador thinks he's a terrorist for some reason so deny the ability to send him back.
Oh, and we'd like to send US citizens to join him.

Feel like facism yet?

I like how the GOP jerk faces know that illegal immigrants pay their taxes (a lot of the time) so they're forcing the IRS to give information on immigrants to ICE so they won't in the future.
