SCOTUS just gave DOGE the green light to access your sensitive personal information, including Social Security numbers, medical records, and financial data. It’s shameful. www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

So of course Pete Hegseth tried to delete the evidence.🙄

IDK what he's worried about, it's not like Trump's DOJ cares about Trump people's corruption or crimes.

🚨BREAKING: Mississippi is asking the Supreme Court to uphold its mail-in ballot grace period. Mississippi is fighting back against a challenge from the RNC to strike down the law. Depending on how SCOTUS rules, it could change how over a dozen states conduct elections. Paige and I discuss.

81 years ago, thousands of brave Allied troops stormed the beaches of Normandy — knowing the risks, but fighting anyway to defend freedom and democracy.

Their courage helped change the course of history. We remember their sacrifice with deep gratitude, and we honor all who serve in their footsteps.

What I saw at immigration court this morning is unfathomably cruel.

The judge dismissed several cases—including that of a dad and his 2-yr-old son. Now subject to expedited removal, he expected to be arrested by ICE outside. Luckily they made it home.

We can't be a city that tears families apart.

Mike Johnson advocating for kidnapping children. Any Dem worth a shit will make it clear that anyone can buy a gaiter and a fake ICE vest. And he's saying go willingly with them.

There is no reason a federal employee shouldn't have to show their face. And this should be an easy one to win.
MIKE JOHNSON: From the people who mandated mask wearing for years, it's absurd. They need to back off ICE & respect our agents

Q: So you're ok w/agents not identifying themselves when they're arresting migrants?

The first wrongly deported migrant has been returned to the States.

Now that the first step has been taken, we can’t let up the pressure. We’ve gotta run the whole mile.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia and every other immigrant deported without due process MUST be returned to America.

Found out today that my state cut all preexisting funding for overdose prevention, addiction, & “harm reduction efforts to reduce overdose rates and deaths.”

The city I live and work in has as many overdose deaths as San Francisco and my state is in the top worst for overdose for the past 15 years.
