Schiff: "The president -- 'I'm going out to play golf.' One thing that is so shocking to me is that they're appealing to the Supreme Court for the right to cut off food from people. Who does that? Who works so hard to cut food from people who need it right now? The cruelty is part of the policy."

Pause for three minutes and soak up the grace of this man.

Earlier today, the father of three U.S. Marines, Narciso Barranco, spoke publicly for the first time after being pinned to the ground and savagely punched by ICE agents while they arrested the landscaper outside the IHOP where he worked.

Border Patrol says he was at the red mark, 65 feet south of the border, when he "made an abrupt starboard turn and struck the port bow of the Coast Guard small-boat," causing him to capsize.

He says that's ridiculous, he was in Canadian waters and was going to shore to talk when they hit him.

“Secret police” are your words, not mine. Seems like you’ve been giving them a lot of thought.

Unlike NYPD, your agents don’t identify themselves & wear masks that cover their faces. Now they ignore judges’ rulings, too.

What law enforcement agents are supposed to uphold … is the rule of law.

Christian churches should be a source of healing, but powerful Christians with millions of followers choose to fuel the fires of hatred instead.

Given that reality, it's no surprise that some Christians will put down their Bibles, pick up their guns, and kill the people they're taught to hate:

The Social Security Administration, which is supposed to be nonpartisan, is spamming recipients with Trump propaganda. This is what a dictatorship looks like.

What Democratic leadership looks like when they help 30 million Americans gain access to healthcare vs Republican leadership when they strip away healthcare and food assistance from 15 million Americans.

The U.S. government is trying to hoodwink vulnerable seniors into voting red in 2026 before the pain hits in 2027.

Over 7M seniors rely on Medicaid. Nearly 2M live in nursing homes where Medicaid pays the bills. Republicans just slashed nearly $1 trillion from it.

My mom just got this email…

Jeffries: "This reckless Republican budget is an immoral document, and that is why I stand here on the floor of the House with my colleagues in the House Democratic caucus to stand up and push back against it with everything we have, on behalf of the American people."

Jeffries: "As a result of the all-out Republican assault on healthcare, people will die. Tens of thousands, perhaps year after year, as a result of the Republican assault on the healthcare of the American people. I'm sad. I never thought that I'd be on the House floor saying this is a crime scene"

Laughing in front of cages designed to hold migrants and refugees, many of whom came to this country fleeing extreme violence and poverty, and hoping to raise their children in a more compassionate country. And many of whom followed all the legal procedures to enter the country.

It’s pretty impressive how bad this bill is, honestly.

Gigawatts of projected energy shortage. Starving kids. Massive deficit increase.

But at least Trump’s rich friends get their tax break!

Trump says he hates the “biased” press, but let’s be real—he decides who’s biased based on whether they’re nice to him that day. One day you’re “not so bad,” the next he hates you again. That’s not accountability, that’s ego.

I think that the outcome in the NY Mayoral race and the Wisconsin Supreme Court race both show that people power CAN beat the political money machine. That should give us all hope, and the motivation to work for the government we want.

Watching Truth Social posts by Trump every hour, each more insane & unhinged than the previous one as he circles the drain of a malignant narcissist’s descent into dementia, makes it that much more ridiculous that media just spent a month on Biden while pretending Trump is sane.
