Part of me wishes not knowing everyone's thoughts that social media allows. The other part is learning uncomfortable truths about our fellow human beings.
I guess Americans are paying Trump to spend his days and nights watching television.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Doesn’t undo the trauma for Liam, but it’s a first step.

Happy to hear about Liam Ramos being ordered released. It’s so infuriating that the administration that claims to be “pro life” and “Christian” is not.

Elon Musk publicly slandering that cave diver as a "pedo guy" after he begged Jeffrey Epstein for island party invites is just incredible

Moving very slowly down the sidewalk here at the vigil for Alex Pretti on 23rd St. in NYC. Seems like a large turnout.

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.

On 1/6/21 Trump encouraged his supporters to carry guns & wanted to take the "Mags" down so his armed supporters could enter White House grounds. He then expected them to carry their weapons to the Capitol. But Alex Pretti was a criminal for carrying a holstered gun?

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

Just curious, is there ANYTHING that an ICE agent can do that Republicans will condemn as wrong? Anything at all? Or it just automatically defend ICE no matter what now? That’s who you are?

Seems like: Kristi Noem will continue to gaslight us and Vance and Miller will say officers have complete immunity? And FBI will take over the "investigation"?? And Fox News will somehow blame and smear the victim? When will this end.

When will it be enough for you, @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social ? When will you be moved? You should be standing in the streets of Minneapolis. You should be shouting from the rooftops. What a pathetic pair of cowards.

Today Jack Smith will testify before Congress. I can predict with great confidence it will be a bad day for Donald Trump and the GOP. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...
Jack Smith testimony will warn Americans not to take the rule of law 'for granted'
The former special counsel will say his investigation developed proof that Trump engaged in a "criminal scheme" to overturn his 2020 election loss, according to prepared remarks obtained by NBC News.
