Immigrants help feed and build our communities, they enrich our lives. I agree with Rep Swalwell (D-CA) we don’t need a Ivy League, investment banker nepo congressman like Rep Gill (R-TX) telling us we need more laws to deport people when DHS already doesn’t follow the law.

My legal team will be in federal court in North Carolina today fighting against the state's unconstitutional redrawn congressional map. Before you listen to those in the GOP who say we can't win, ask Texas how that worked out for them.

Years ago he didn’t want them here. If you remember he canceled incoming flights. Now that it benefits him it’s ok.

If TX is ruled illegal and CA is okay, I will absolutely LOSE IT. Would be one of the funniest things to happen in a while.

In soccer, this would be an own goal.

Even funnier: if the gerrymander goes through and the Democrats win most of the new districts anyway b/c ICE lost the hispanic vote.

What do these corporations all have in common?

-Lockheed Martin
-Palantir
-Microsoft
-Amazon
-Comcast
-Google
-Apple
-Meta
-HP
-Nvidia
-T-Mobile

They all have lucrative government contracts — and they're all donors to Trump's ballroom.

The US has had measles “elimination status” for 25 years. It may be about to lose this status.

Measles can severely and fatally impact children, including infants under 1 year old who are too young to be vaccinated.

Increasing — and not further decreasing — child vaccination rates is essential.

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to buy, own, and sell individual stocks. Period. Let's make Congressional stock trading illegal.

“THIS IS A SEWER… A SCAM… Congress has been enriching itself for too dadgum long.”

We are highly critical of @RepTimBurchett but he & @repjayapal are right — Congress should be BANNED from trading stocks, as @unusualwhales calls out.

Make your reps & senators back this.

So MAGA, You see these two? One of them is your dear leader, the other is a Prince in a country where CHRISTIANITY IS BANNED. Where you can be arrested for being a CHRISTIAN, for displaying CHRISTIAN symbols and even, for having a bible.
But go ahead, tell me how much fucking MONEY he's investing.

A House panel is holding a hearing on a proposed ban on Congressional stock trading.

This ban is long overdue. Why should members of Congress be able to use privileged information to make money on the stock market, while they’re supposed to be working for you?

Ok BlueSky: what are your favorite history books in terms of sheer page-turning, narrative propulsion? Thinking along the line of Killers of the Flower Moon, etc. Nonfiction chronicles that read like novels or movies.
