Trump lied. His ICE is not going after the "worst of the worst" like he promised.
The vast majority of the people being taken are hardworking, law-abiding members of our communities. They are just trying to provide for their families and contribute to America.

Our military—and our entire nation—would be stronger, safer and more secure if we had more patriotic leaders who respect the Constitution, like Sen. Mark Kelly—
And fewer who are only in it for themselves, like Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth.

Sen. Mark Kelly facing military investigation after clashing with Trump
A statement from the Pentagon said all service members have a "legal obligation" to "obey lawful orders and that orders are presumed to be lawful."

On my birthday two years ago, Derek Chauvin got stabbed 22 times. Hard to top that for a birthday present but if the universe feels like trying I have a few ideas...

To put a finer point on it: An "illegal order" is one that violates their oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States.
If you think that upholding the Constitution = sedition, well...you do the math.

Them: “You don’t have to obey illegal orders.”
Him: “That’s seditious! They should be hanged!”
Definitely not beating the giving-illegal-orders allegations.

Ahhh so THAT'S how Trump knows for certain that Bill Clinton was at Epstein's Island.

Honestly, I think the MAGA core has known, deep down, Trump was #1 child rapist in Epstein's circle from the start, AND already forgiven him for that, and are just fighting this so they don't have to admit it to anyone because they know what pieces of shit they are.

The Republican president is a pedophile who has doubled my healthcare costs and let scores of violent criminals out of jail. But a Democratic mayor-elect wants to make busses free in a city I don't live in. I have never felt more politically homeless.

Thomas Massie to CNN on the Epstein files: "This vote is gonna be on your record for longer than Trump is gonna be president. And what are you gonna do in 2028 and 2030 when you're in a debate … and they say, 'How can we trust you? You covered up for a pedophile back in 2025.'"

It would be really great if things that people enjoy and are beneficial to society were profitable for the rich people who control where the money goes.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106.
12 days of work in 106 days.
With full pay and benefits.
The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.
It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

1. On September 23, Adelita Grijalva won a special Congressional election in Arizona, collecting 69% of the vote.
43 days later, Speaker Johnson has not sworn her in.
The delay, 8 days longer than the previous record, has prevented Grijalva from forcing a vote to release the Epstein files.

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed.
The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Mike Johnson knew about Dick Cheney's death and had a statement ready right after the news broke, but ask him about a new policy Trump announced or something he posted or said the day before and he doesn't know anything about it.
