This new Politico poll should stop us all in our tracks!
50% of Americans are struggling to afford groceries, let’s start there. Then add the fact that we have a president who thinks we’re lying about it.
I’m just waiting for the next poll that asks, “Does the president care about people like me?”

On October 10th, 2025, Dayanne was assaulted and kidnapped by masked ICE agents. They gave no reason why.
She is beyond brave for sharing her story and reliving her trauma, in hopes that someone will listen—that there will be change. Do not turn a blind eye to her pain.

George Retes is a U.S. citizen and Iraq war veteran. He was detained by ICE and held in solitary confinement for three days without explanation.
George shared his story before Congress to make sure no American has to endure the same abuse he did.

The way that this administration is targeting and harassing Somalians in Minneapolis is disgusting and vile. Keep filming this because one day we are going to hold these agents accountable. Last I heard peacefully protesting doesn’t warrant being sprayed with chemical irritants.

There are good people in this country, people who stand up for their neighbors & put their bodies on the line.
Don't forget that. Good people stand against #ICELawlessness. Be inspired by that. As ICE thugs round up, brutalize & torture our fellow Americans, do or say something! Don't be complicit.

The bartender at our local brewery said her monthly premium is going from $450 to $1250. Per month. This is more than the increase those of us with employer insurance see when we grumble about premium increases and I need such folks to understand. It is literally unaffordable.
People are going to die because of the pending insurance premium hikes. I know the terrain of discourse is inconsistent and goes through a tumble cycle every 24 hours, but I really think we need to hone in on this reality and drive it home for people.

🚨Arresting US citizens who have not broken any laws is now acceptable practice in the United States of America. The only thing worse than being ICE is pretending that you don’t see what is happening to our neighbors. She isn’t a hero, she’s an American. 🇺🇸

Meanwhile the president is intentionally trying to cut off food for hungry people who live in states that did not vote for him.

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.
If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

My daughter and I visited the house we lived in when she was a baby, and she was shocked a 29-year-old Navy guy could afford a nice house in a safe neighborhood.
That wasn’t crazy in 1996 — but today, a nice house is out of reach for so many young people. That has to change.
