Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress are planning to write a $15 BILLION check to Meta simply for existing — paid for by cutting health care for millions of Americans.

The level of bald-faced, open racism that we are now seeing is simply gobsmacking.

Warnock: If I'm honest, there are days when I have to ask people of my faith tradition as a Christian, are we reading the same book?

Just awful: A 75-year-old man just died in ICE custody, ICE has revealed in a notice to Congress.
But here's the rub: This man, a Cuban national, was first paroled into the US in 1966—nearly 60 years ago! They were set to deport him anyway.

Why Did a 75-Year-Old Man in Poor Health Just Die in ICE Custody?
Isidro Perez came to the United States from Cuba nearly 60 years ago. This is who Stephen Miller is going after now?

It is obscene to give tax breaks to the top 1% by throwing more than 16 million people off health care, cutting nutrition for hungry kids and making it harder for working class young people to go to college.
That is exactly what Trump's budget reconciliation bill does.

Shock announcement: NC Senator Thom Tillis just announced he is retiring, less than 24 hours after he opposed starting debate on his party’s mega bill.
His seat is up in 2026, and having it be an open seat sure changes the calculus and Democratic chances of flipping it.
