This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it.

They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.

CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

If Iran is close to a nuclear weapon it is because Trump pulled out of the the deal we had with them.

This is a crisis entirely made by Trump.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

“There’s no recording allowed out here.” I just grabbed this uncredited off Facebook. Does anyone know who recorded it? I want to make sure they get proper credit.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago:

—Pioneering cancer researcher;
—*Arrested* at airport in Boston;
—Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana;
—"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research.

Read it.

A friend drove two hours today for her breast cancer chemotherapy only to learn it was canceled due to NIH cuts. Clinical trial ended midstream. No treatment, no restart, no plan, no information. Her bro-in-law's chemo was also canceled.

This is disgraceful and un-American. The Trump administration defended its removal of articles highlighting the achievements of minority service members, including Navajo code talkers, Marines at Iwo Jima, and famed Black baseball player Jackie Robinson.

Trump's USDA will roll back safety regulations to “streamline” meat processing.

This will boost corporate profits at the expense of worker health and food safety.

Last year's listeria outbreak tied to Boar's Head killed 10 people.

We need more regulation, not less. Hello?

Ya think? Why hasn’t he resigned yet?
Schumer has canceled his book tour over “security concerns.” That means he’s afraid to face the voters after giving a blank check to Musk and hanging house Dems out to dry. He needs to RESIGN as minority leader NOW abcnews.go.com/Politics/sen...

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

If Linda McMahon and the Department of Education believe in "efficiency and accountability" (after laying off half of the department), then I'm sure they'll gladly publish a list of every position that has been eliminated and why that position is no longer needed.
