I remember when my mom, who’s in her 70s, and I heard Kamala Harris announce her care-at-home plan. We were so excited. She even explained it was cheaper than hospital care. To us, it felt like someone was actually planning to make healthcare better.

Now look where we are.

Clintons: "Fine. Let's do it in public."

GOP: "No. It will be in secret but files and video will be made public."

Erm... Then do it in public then! 🤷‍♀️🤔🙄🤦‍♀️

I could not be more proud of all the U.S. athletes at the Olympics using their platforms to speak out against the hatred and violence of the Trump regime. We have a Team USA giving us pride in a moment our government is causing us so much pain and embarrassment.

When you’re losing hope.

Take a deep breath.

Close your eyes.

Think back to when this guy was your president.

When you could associate the presidency with class, decency and integrity.

Now open your eyes

And fight like hell to get someone like him back in office again.

The DHS Secretary murdered her own puppy, so we shouldn't be surprised that an agent acting under the DOJ would kick a dog so viciously that he broke one of its ribs, but I hope we're still capable of being shocked to our core.

A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.
Federal judge rules DOJ can ‘no longer’ be trusted in voter roll crusade
The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.

Redistricting did not turn out how Trump wanted. So, now he is resorting to political prosecutions, ballot seizures and the threat of federal paramilitary to steal the 2026 midterms. He is normalizing the idea that his administration will take over ballot counting. We cannot let that happen.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

This is shocking! Sen. Blumenthal exposes a secret ICE memo ordering agents to disregard the Fourth Amendment and force entry into homes without a judicial warrant. That’s an assault on constitutional rights, executed in the dark.

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

He goes on to describe one of his officers being stopped when she was off-duty solely because she's non-white, harassed by ICE goons who slapped her phone out of her hand as she tried to record, only to be let go when she finally revealed she was a cop.
Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"
