JUST NOW — Our reporters are at the Broadview ICE facility (outside of Chicago) where protestors have been demonstrating since 5:00 a.m.
As a cargo van left the facility, a federal agent on the roof started shooting what seems to be pepper balls at protestors just before 9:00 a.m.

A recently uncovered 2003 video of Stephen Miller espousing the glories of torture. He is the perfect example of pure, unadulterated EVIL.
I wish I believed in hell because I want him to burn there for all eternity. (transcript in the comments)

The CDC stands for the Center for Disease Control a.k.a. SCIENCE, not a political party's faux morality bullsh*t.
What does gender identification have to do with HIV, answer: nothing. Can someone explain to me how this supports a teen who's concerned that they may have contracted HIV.
WTF!

Can FB and Threads stop asking if I want to edit my post. If they have the right to perpetuate racist and hateful acts against my country, I should have the right and "freedom of speech" to call them out on it!

On the Sunday shows Sen. Cornyn said that the flood in Texas was a 100 year event. 100 year climate events doesn't mean that it happens every 100 years, it means it has a 1 in 100 chance in happening.
100/500/1000 year events are happening MORE frequently due to changes in climate.

When referring to the tragic floods in Texas, Speaker Mike Johnson said "all we can do at this point is pray."
It's fine to privately pray in our churches, around our dinner tables, and in our nightly ritual. But HE'S AN ELECTED OFFICAL WHOSE JOB IT IS TO DO SOMETHING!

If your response to the deaths of 68 people in a flood, 22 of them children, is "let's celebrate those who didn't die", our problems are even bigger than I thought.
How is grieving the dead and finding out how we can prevent it in the future... conflicting.

Let's be clear, the "the only people who will lose their Medicaid are the 30-year-olds living in their mother's basement eating bonbons and playing video games" is no different than their claim of welfare queens eating lobster every night or Haitian immigrants eating the cats and dogs.

Let's be clear, this disgusting post isn't even about immigrants. She's not referring to the 47 million immigrants in the U.S., she's referring to the 65 million Latinos living in the U.S. regardless of their immigration status.

The MAGA GOP passes draconian laws in his name.
But mainstream religious leaders aren't blocking the entrance of every ICE detention center including Aligator Auschwitz or protesting outside the Senate and House as they pulled medical care and food for the poor.
And you wonder why I left church.
