Out of curiosity, have you followed up with any of these immigrants making American flags to see how they've been impacted by Trump's immigration policies?

Another day of reminding everyone of Carl Sagan’s eerily accurate warning about the dangers of not being able to ask skeptical scientific questions to those in power or authority.

While we're at it - it would be nice if they needed to show proper ID and state exactly why they are there and where they're taking folks.
I want a law passed in Congress that FORBIDS ANY law enforcement, ICE, DHS, or CBP from hiding their faces.

I cannot stop thinking about this woman & the community that tried to keep her family together. We are not powerless. Call your reps, raise your voice, get her reunited with her loved ones. Families belong together. And yes: under this lawless regime, if they can do it to her, they can do it to you.

Eliminating Head Start would be devastating for 800,000 kids and their families who rely on it for early education, health services, and family support. We can't sacrifice their future to fund tax breaks for the rich.

The Democrat leaders should be making more noise instead of keeping their heads down. This is not a time to stand idly by and wait for our rights to be stripped away.

PolitiFact's reporting on the SAVE Act downplays the voter suppression effects. By being overly focused on technical wording they overlook real-world impact.

This week Donald Trump quietly named Russ Vought to be head of OMB—one of the chief architects of Project 2025.

Yes … THE Project 2025, which Donald Trump pretended to know nothing about. He lied.

It’s crystal clear, this is the blueprint for the coming administration.
