Rep Pramila Jayapal: "Remember the militarized raid on a Chicago apartment building in the middle of the night where agents rappelled from helicopters and zip-tied sobbing children? It has resulted in ZERO criminal charges two months later.
The cruelty, chaos, and fear are the point."

Pretty impressive that through this entire scandal and press blitz, RFK Jr. hasn't lost focus on his life's work of shortening the life expectancy of the average American and endangering the lives of children.

I’ve never been a “defund the police” type of guy. I believe that police are necessary, despite their flaws.

But ICE is different. I am 100% behind ending their existence and prosecuting every single one of them.

ICE must go. End of discussion.

The worst part about the boat strikes - regardless of who ordered what and besides the ultimate tragedy of lives lost - is they’re forever a stain on the professionalism and dignity of the United States military.

They’re an insult to every American who ever sacrificed to do the right thing.

The White House says their peace plan didn’t come from Russia — the problem is it reads like Putin’s wishlist. We need a deal to end the war that actually protects Ukraine and doesn’t reward the war criminal who started this.

We also have an extradition treaty with Venezuela. If they'd like to charge Trump/Hegseth for their crimes, we're happy to extradite them to stand trial. Put them in a Venezuelan prison with the gangs they're so afraid of.

So Hegseth, its Murder or A War Crime… There is no third option.

And then, Trump must be aware, have given the go ahead.
Innocent people could be being killed just as an excuse for Trumps oil grab.

Using American military might for his own self-gratification.

Stop the Right-Wing sickness.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.

But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.

The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

Energy transitions can happen faster than we think:

In 2000 almost 90% of Denmark's electricity was from fossil fuels.

In 2024 less than 10% of Danish electricity was from fossil fuels.
