WATCH: Speaker Johnson says he’s “deeply disappointed” the senate passed a bill he voted for 🤔
@rokhanna.bsky.social : “Johnson looks frazzled. He’s lost it, attacking a bill the survivors wanted without talking to them… that he voted for. He has lost the confidence of half his caucus.”

Today there was an attempted ICE raid in Bensonhurst & community members showed up. Even though NYPD collaborated with ICE by trying to disburse the crowd; community members stood their ground & ICE left without kidnapping a single person per the rapid response groups I'm on. We protect us!

While tariffs were intended to incentivize self-sufficiency, the U.S. simply cannot produce enough of certain goods like coffee and bananas. As prices soar on those items, the Trump administration has reversed course.
Trump Reverses Tariffs On Coffee, Bananas And Other Foods In Response As Prices Soar
As prices soar on items like coffee and bananas, the Trump administration has reversed course, exempting food items that cannot be easily grown or produced in the U.S.

Last night Russia sent about five hundred drones and missiles to kill Ukrainians. Most were intercepted but those that got through hit a post office, a store, a power plant, and multiple residences. 19 people were killed in Ternopil. (1/2)

Pay attention to how Mike Johnson is trying to shift the narrative today - he’s saying some Epstein files can’t be released because they’re intelligence products and would harm national security.

Today, the House finally passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Survivors have waited years for answers, and the American people have been kept in the dark for far too long.
Every name, every meeting, and every document must be released—no excuses, no delays.

Let’s be clear: the DOJ has already been subpoenaed to release these files to the Oversight Committee, and the deadline to turn them over has come and gone.
Now that this has passed in the House, the Senate needs to do its job, and the President needs to sign it.

I want to take a moment to thank the entire Elias Law Group team who worked on the Texas redistricting case as well as our fearless clients. The thirteen Black and Latino voters we represented stood up to challenge Texas's unprecedented mid-decade redistricting. We all ow them a debt of gratitude.

Fox News credulously reports that "the Saudis now say their investment pledge in the US will be increased to $1 trillion." THE ENTIRE GDP OF SAUDI ARABIA IS $1.1 TRILLION, so this is total nonsense.

Most of us have no idea how bad it is inside ICE detention centers because they have kept it hidden. Then a truth teller shows up and says it plain.
The conditions are filthy. The treatment is inhumane. The abuse is Systematic and routine.
