Thank you to this journalist for speaking the truth! He’s got guts! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
This exchanged occurred during a White House presser where Karoline Leavitt gave the first question to Riley Gaines, the disgraced Olympic swimmer who launched her career as a bigoted MAGA mouthpiece and two bit podcaster simply because she tied for fifth place with a transgender woman.
LEAVITT: Why was Renee Good unfortunately and tragically killed?

REPORTER: Because an ICE agent acted recklessly and killed her unjustifiably

LEAVITT: Oh, ok. So you're a biased reporters with a biased opinion. You're a left-wing hack.

I will be blind for life. I have fractures in my skull that they can't fix. I can't sneeze or cough bc it's dangerous to. They pulled a piece of plastic the size of a nickel out of my eye. I had shards of metal, glass, and plastic behind my eye and in my skull. They said it was a miracle I survived.

Who among us hasn't sold stolen oil and stashed the profits in a bank in the country that bailed out our son-in-law's building at 666 Fifth Avenue?
Trump is selling seized Venezuelan oil and putting the cash in a bank account in Qatar. Nothing to see here. www.semafor.com/article/01/1...

From the mouth of a teen… this is what courage looks like! ❤️
Listen as this young person tells truth to power. "I am a part of no group. I am an American. I believe in freedom & equality for everyone. I don't care about your immigration status. I care about the content of your heart. I am no blind sheep and I will serve no earthly king."

It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face.

If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.

Tillis is spot on. The Senate can't confirm a Trump toady to succeed Powell at the Fed. The rest of the game is now out in the open, and it doesn't end well.

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

Has Trump demanded Putin cease this?
Kyiv, Ukraine's capital, remains in total darkness yet another day after a brutal Russian attack. No heat, electricity, or water. Subzero temperatures. The mayor has advised people to leave the city if they can to try to avoid mass deaths. This is Russian genocide of Ukrainians.

Begging credit card companies to play nice is a joke.

I said a year ago if Trump was serious I’d work to pass a bill to cap rates. Since then, he’s done nothing but try to shut down the CFPB.

Trump doesn’t care about affordability. Americans know a fraud when they see one.

A Minneapolis pastor of an MCC church — a denomination rooted in LGBTQ equality — recounts being detained by ICE.

Says an ICE officer walked up to him as he was chanting “we are not afraid.”

The agent, he says, raised his gun and said “are you afraid now?”
