Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Impeach Trump for Threatening Veterans in Congress
Text SIGN PZHAOX to 50409 — I write with deep respect for our military, our veterans, and the rule of law. What happened this week requires Congress to act. This morning, President Trump called a group of military veterans in Congress “traitors” and said they should be “ARRESTED AND PUT ON TRIAL.” By mid-morning he escalated to: “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!” Their “crime,” in his eyes, was releasing a short video reminding active-duty military and intelligence personnel of their most basic legal duty: they must refuse illegal orders. This is settled law under the Uniform Code of Military Justice and established by precedent such as the Calley case. The Army Field Manual explicitly states that “superior orders” is not a defense for unlawful actions. The lawmakers Trump targeted are not fringe figures — they are veterans and intelligence officers. Senator Elissa Slotkin served with the CIA. Senator Mark Kelly served as a Navy captain. Representatives Deluzio, Goodlander, Houlahan, and Crow all served our country in uniform or intelligence roles. Their message was patriotic and rooted in military tradition, ending with the Navy’s famous line: “Don’t give up the ship.” I. The Chain of Command Is Already Under Strain This message was timely. Senior JAG officers have raised concerns that recent strikes on small boats near Venezuela may be extrajudicial killings. Eighty-plus non-combatant deaths could expose service members to criminal liability. Yet their legal objections were reportedly overruled — something that puts troops at risk and undermines trust in the chain of command. Meanwhile, Congress is asserting its War Powers Act responsibilities because the administration has conducted military operations for more than 60 days without authorization. Both parties are raising alarms. In this context, it is vital that service members are reminded of their legal obligations. Instead of respecting that, the President demanded arrests, trials, and executions. II. Threatening Veterans in Congress Is an Abuse of Power Fox News legal analyst Andy McCarthy — no liberal — clarified immediately: “There is no insurrection or sedition without the use of force. Disobeying an unlawful order is required.” The President is therefore calling for capital punishment for lawful speech that restates the controlling law governing the military. If any American citizen posted that a President should be hanged, the Secret Service would rightly investigate. Yet Trump is allowed to threaten sitting Members of Congress with death for fulfilling their constitutional duties. III. Why Congress Must Act A President who calls for the arrest and execution of veterans in Congress for reaffirming military law has violated the oath of office. This undermines civilian oversight of the military, destabilizes command integrity, and endangers the republic. For the sake of our service members, our Constitution, and our national security, I urge you to begin impeachment proceedings immediately.

IMPEACH TRUMP NOW. He's gone too far. Inciting violence is not acceptable
Text SIGN PDAFMD to 50409 — IMPEACH TRUMP NOW. It's time to remove Trump: impeachment? 25th? Do what it takes. Today Trump was posting on truth social to call for the arrest, expulsion and "DEATH" by execution of Democratic Congress members. This is too far. Already members of Congress and judges face an unprecedented level of threats. A state legislator in Minnesota was assassinated. There was a plot of kidnap Governor Whitmer. Members of Congress are deciding not to run again because of threats. This is already bad. But for a president to call for execution of members of Congress of the other party? And to do so because THEY are upholding the constitution and exhorting others to adhere to the rule of law??! It's beyond the pale. Completely unacceptable. It is also dangerous. Trump's reckless incitement makes violence likely. A private citizen who did this would no doubt face scrutiny from the law enforcement and the FBI. DO NOT TOLERATE THIS. It's time to REMOVE TRUMP by impeachment for abuse of power, treason, tyranny, subverting the rule of law, usurping congressional power, impoundment, and countless other assaults on our democracy. These projects list impeachment charges: https://freespeechforpeople.org/constitutional-scholars-agree-trump-has-committed-multiple-impeachable-offenses/ https://citizensimpeachment.com/ https://www.impeachtrumpagain.org/ Please, CONDEMN TRUMP's RECKLESS DANGEROUS LAWLESS statements. Start impeachment now. You need to put a stop to Trump's destruction NOW.

Quick point of clarification for pundits, politicians, journalists, & any others commenting on the Epstein Trump files:
The victims were NOT "young women". They were CHILDREN.
As such, they were not capable of giving legal consent. Sex without consent is rape.
Words matter. Get them right.

This is a very quick break down of what happened in the Senate over the weekend.
While I'm more than disappointed that they just took the L on ACA help, it is good to see SNAP & furloughed feds catch a much needed break.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
