📌Nobody is (and has been) more consistently right about things than Elizabeth Warren.
She's the real deal, the smartest person in Washington, and should be Democrats' leader in the Senate.

In the sweltering heat of late summer politics, something chilling is unfolding in Texas — and if left unchecked, will poison the very heart of American democracy.
Every American must rise up.

Sounds like confirmation the federal government is doing nothing to “facilitate” Abredo Garcia‘s release.

This is presidential defiance of a unanimous Supreme Court order.
Van Hollen says that he asked the VP of El Salvador why his government continues to hold Abrego Garcia even though he’s not charged with any crime and there’s no evidence that he’s MS-13.

“His answer was that the Trump administration is paying the government of El Salvador to keep him at CECOT”

Have any of the White House reporters even attempted to ask the Trump administration why it keeps saying that Abrego Garcia is in the domestic custody of a foreign sovereign when all evidence suggests that El Salvador is holding him *on behalf of the United States* pursuant to a contract?

Autism is not a disease, therefore, cannot cause an epidemic.

Autism Spectrum Disorder is an inherited neuro developmental disorder.

It is more commonly diagnosed bc it’s better recognized.

RFK Jr never misses an opportunity to demonstrate his profound ignorance.

Leave it to the professionals.

The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left."

It’s between democracy and oligarchy.

The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us.

They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power.

The arrogance, hubris, and stupidity of thinking that The Atlantic wouldn’t just publish the full thread if they tried to deny what was in it…

And the responsibility the Senate bears for confirming these yutzes to such important national security positions in the first place…

Steve Witkoff told Tucker Carlson that four Ukrainian regions (which Russia partially or fully controls at the moment) should become Russian because there were "referendums" where "overwhelming majority of the people" voted to be under the Russian rule.

This is not true.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.

If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

So it appears DOGE has decreed that Social Security administration will no longer provide phone support. At all. This is in addition to shutting down a ton of local SSA offices. www.axios.com/2025/03/17/s...

Almost every major Trump action is intentionally illegal. Trump is gambling that the US democratic system is too broken to stop him. He assumes, to adapt a phrase: "All we've got to do is kick the door in and the whole edifice will come crumbling down."

The testing hour is here.

There are only two things that stand between Trump and being a dictator -- the courts and elections. Trump wants to send a clear message to law firms that he will go after them.

It is ok to be afraid, the question is what do you do. Do you hide and cower in fear or stand tall and say it is wrong?

Looking at some survey data here. Trump/Elon cutting off all cancer cure research is the issue that freaks voters out more than any other, also the one they've heard the least about. Important for voters to hear more about this.

It’s called Medi-Cal in California. I’ll bet a lot of folks don’t know it’s funded by Medicaid.
Many folks are on Medicaid but don’t know it because their state calls it something else. Hoosiercare in IN. Peach care in GA. Badgercare in WI.

They don’t realize their medical care is on the chopping block. What does your state call it? Let’s get replies going and the word out!
