Republicans in Congress had a choice:
Vote to protect the people they serve or vote to please Donald Trump.
When millions lose their health care, SNAP benefits, local hospitals and nursing homes—this moment will be remembered.
And the American people will know who to blame.

Is it just me, or is anyone else assuming that Putin told Trump where to hit after he had Iran move the material?
This administration is just so profoundly incompetent and easily manipulated.

The American people were lied to about Vietnam, with tragic consequences.

If you plan to visit the US, don't. It is not safe to visit the US and you face being randomly detained, kidnapped, beaten, and / or killed by the regime. It's not worth the trip. Stay home.

I did an event in DC & there was a party for donors etc after. Was talking to 2 ppl & I said "Things are so bad." They said "No this is how it is. Things swing one way, then another. It's normal."
That's when I realized why Dems are toothless. They have no idea what this is. Frogs boiling in water.

NEW: A federal district court has barred Border Patrol’s unlawful practices in UFW v Noem, filed after chaotic raids targeted farm workers including our union members.
The preliminary injunction applies to future Border Patrol operations in CA’s Eastern District.

A guy was pulled over in Georgia. He shot two cops, killing one with an illegal fully auto pistol (likely a modified Glock). After killing him, cops found bombs and a remote trigger in the vehicle. Despite the numerous federal weapons violations, Pam Bondi has said nothing. Bad guy was white.

We need the best educated workforce in the world.
We need the best teachers in the world.
We need to pay our teachers fairly for the important work they do.
No teacher in America should begin at less than $60,000 a year.

If you’re attending the White House Correspondents Association dinner tonight, be sure to come prepared with a joke about the toddler cancer patient they just disappeared despite her being a citizen.
Otherwise it’s going to be awkward when you’re mugging for photos with Stephen Miller.

Let’s be clear. Trump's arrest of Judge Dugan in Milwaukee has nothing to do with immigration.
This latest attack is about one thing: unchecked power.
It is time for my colleagues in the Republican Party to stand up to his growing authoritarianism.

I think customs enforcement is a very important job, especially in such areas as helping to fight illegal wildlife trade.
But ICE… they’re just a massive black eye on the Statue of Liberty and the entire agency needs demolished.
