Between tearing babies from their parents' arms and traumatizing countless children, abandoning climate action and environmental protection, and loosing RFK on public health, the Trump Administration is engaging in quite a bit of child sacrifice. To their right-mania goals.
Vance loves to deploy fabricated racist fearmongering. First Haitians are eating the pets, now Indigenous people sacrificed children?! Sheesh.

You're a high ranking government official and you shouldn't make things up.

Your 70% number is just a fabrication.

And it's TOTALLY not true that "every single" person you detained is here illegally. For instance, many were allowed in so they could apply for asylum.

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

An 18yo US citizen, surrounded by eight masked, armed agents of the state, taken into custody, not read his rights, not offered a chance to contact a lawyer, proof of citizenship ignored, handcuffed so tightly he later required medical attention.

Profoundly, profoundly anti-American shit.

Last month Mike Lawler appeared with Ted Cruz for a fundraiser.

This month Mike Lawler appeared with Jim Jordan for a fundraiser.

And next month Mike Lawler will appear with Mike Johnson for a fundraiser.

This is the company Mike Lawler keeps, #NY17.

This mailer being sent out in #NY17 is WILD.

All of the wording about Mike Lawler is technically accurate, but hoo-boy the design choices here are something to behold.

Definitely zoom in and read for yourself.

Context matters. @aftynbehn4tn was protesting a child sex abuser who had admitted it. Now Republicans are attempting to shame her for it.

We were there. Covering the activism of the Byrd survivors, Aftyn, and others is how the Holler was born.

Cutting Medicaid will destabilize our healthcare infrastructure — the most vulnerable will be forced off their coverage, people with insurance will have to pay more, and everyone in between will face hospital closures and a weakened healthcare system. This is a lose-lose situation. #impeachthequack

Strange how everyone “motivated by mental illness” in antisemitic crimes somehow suffers from the same condition: wanting to burn synagogues and kill Jews.

One of the best members of Congress.
Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Here's a montage of 19 clips of Trump insulting, berating, demeaning and attacking female reporters over the past few months. It's shameful that anyone votes for this man and thinks having him in a position to be modeled by our children is a healthy thing for our country or society.

Again, every elected Democrat needs to put out a video stating exactly what Kelly and the others said. If ever there were a line to draw in the sand, it’s here. The military is not the president’s Praetorian Guard.

The Trump surrender of Ukraine descends into utter chaos. But “chaos” is too mellow a word: What we have here is a rich bouillabaisse of incompetence, mendacity, tragedy, farce, and diplomatic blunder. Words have a hard time keeping up with the story.

Everybody involved will need to go to prison and if democrats in congress don’t have the stomach for punishing these people they should just resign now.
DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.

It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.
