I lost a job for calling Charlie Kirk a Nazi, but this is cool.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

If they vote to release the Epstein files, are there some people/reps/former WH staff that have seen them to know whether they've been altered or scrubbed?

What does freedom mean to you?
Have you asked your low info voter friends that?
Have you told them what it means to you? Does it mean masked men brutalizing random people—guns in your face—tear gas on your street?
Have you ever shared a video about #ICELawlessness?
Silence is complicity.

TW: video showcasing a violent display of force by federal agents
From Charlotte, NC. Seen it shared on a few NC based IG pages. Based on this video, federal agents using the same tactics we’ve seen the last few months in Chicago.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

@sanders.senate.gov: "We have already had 15 Republicans in the Senate defy Trump and say, 'Release the SNAP funds.' So I think that if we had held firm, it would be the Republicans who would yield. That was not the position of these 8 Democrats."

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.
We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.
We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

ICE agents in Chicago violently detain a non verbal autistic man for being “non compliant”
He couldn’t “comply” because of his disability…they don’t care
This is not the first time they’ve gone after a disabled person
They target the most vulnerable because it’s an easy way to meet their quota

In case you’re wondering how bad things are, we are getting calls from food pantries on military bases asking if we have any food we can share because they’re hungry.

🧵This horrific story is being reported all over Latin America, but not the US.
Randall Gamboa, a Costa Rican, was deported from the US in such a critical health condition it required an ambulance flight.
He then died upon his return to Costa Rica after being detained for 8 months by DHS.

Donation items that aren't often thought of:
Personal hygiene
Diapers

Pet food
Spices
YOUR TIME! Volunteering has helped keep me sane - that we make an immediate, positive impact while building community is addictively soul-quenching.

At the food pantry I volunteer at we were absolutely swamped today and by many first timers. We ran out of whole categories of food. Please donate cash to your local organization if you at all can.

I'm always very open about the fact that I received SNAP benefits and Medicaid for a bit after I fled my abusive husband with my little kid in tow. I used it to help me start over in a new state and go back to school to get my BA. I now have a PhD.

I'm so disgusted that @danielsgoldman.dg4ny.co represents me in Congress. It's appalling that he cannot endorse the Democratic nominee for NYC mayor. He *must* have a primary challenger next year -- I'll do it myself if necessary.
Daniel Goldman went onto CNN earlier *TODAY* and said
1) He isn't sure if he'll vote for Andrew Cuomo
2) And that he won't endorse Mamdani because Mamdnai has not done enough condemnations of anti-Israel violence

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.
