Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

I think what the American people want from the House of Representatives after they come back from a two-month paid vacation is for them to file, argue and vote on a bunch of censure motions against each other. We really appreciate you guys working so hard for us.

Oh, my God. Mike Johnson is literally throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks. He sounds like a desperate teen caught with a joint in his pocket.

Can someone PLEASE comment on the horrific way that Trump's lawyer speaks? Not only the chronic hoarseness (there's treatment for that!) but the crazy rate of speech. This retired speech/language pathologist honestly cannot listen to him. Thank God for subtitles.

I can't watch the SC arguments because I'm a speech/language pathologist. Trump's lawyer not only has a horrifically hoarse voice, but he speaks at the freaking speed of light. Holy awful.
There isn't a single articulate lawyer in DC?

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.
The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.
Read that back.
When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP
You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670
Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem
If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy?
You’re doing their dirty work.
