The morally bankrupt Trump administration has partnered with another morally bankrupt authoritarian to declare an unprovoked war on Iran, already killing scores of civilians.

We need an immediate vote from Congress on a War Powers Resolution. Then articles of impeachment.

Sen. Chuck Schumer is calling for Congress to come back to Washington immediately and vote on a war powers resolution regarding Iran.

Donald Trump is dragging the United States into a war the American people do not want. Let me be clear: I am opposed to a regime-change war in Iran, and our troops are being put in harm’s way for the sake of Trump’s war of choice.

Read my full statement:

Melania is in many photos with Epstein. Epstein introduced her to trump, and yet the republicans will not bring her in for questioning.

The Epstein House investigation is performative. It is a platform to attack Democratics before elections.

Epstein’s victims deserve far more than β€œtransparency” they deserve justice. Voluntarily resigning from boards at retirement age isn’t a punishment.

Manosphere podcasters have second thoughts What have they wrought?

"Rogan, Schulz, and Von now express reservations & regrets, which is fine & merits some praise & encouragement. But for the kid traumatized by watching his dad or abuelita forced to the ground, handcuffed, & whisked away in a van, the pod-bros’ awakenings come too late." β€” @schaller67.bsky.social

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere.

It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

Many of the people involved with Epstein have or were forced to resign.

How the fuck is that accountability?

Serious question.

β€˜ICE will comply’: Top Minnesota judge threatens criminal contempt for continued defiance Chief Judge Patrick Schiltz wrote that Justice officials were continuing to violate court orders at a historic clip amid President Donald Trump’s mass deportation push.

"The Court is not aware of another occasion in the history of the United States in which a federal court has had to threaten contempt β€” again and again and again β€” to force the United States government to comply with court orders."

If America was a country filled with people where the contents of the Epstein files could take down a president we wouldn’t be in this situation to begin with. He was elected AFTER access Hollywood, child separation, covid, being found liable for sexual abuse etc.

Senator calls for DEA to provide info on "incredibly disturbing" Epstein drug investigation Federal drug enforcement investigators targeted Jeffrey Epstein and 14 others in a yearslong probe first reported by CBS News.

This is a big one. A newly uncovered document has revealed the existence of a mystery Epstein investigation. It was spearheaded by the DEA and involved drug trafficking and money laundering. Epstein was one of 15 targets. The other 14 names are redacted. I've got questions.

Can we deport ICE? Citizens seem to be fair game and I’m a firm believer of treat people the way you want to be treated. They showed us how they want to be treated, I think it’s only fair we oblige.

A sobering read of how both sides struggle to hold the rich and powerful accountable.

This isn’t simply about getting justice for the survivors anymore.

I would argue it’s also about salvaging our broken republic.

It’s about returning our government back to the people.

Neil Sedaka, songwriter to the stars for decades, dies at 86 Sedaka, who was also a performer himself, penned such hits as "Breaking Up Is Hard to Do," "Happy Birthday, Sweet Sixteen" and "Love Will Keep Us Together."

So sad to learn of Neil Sedaka’s death. Castles in the Air was a really important song to my dad musically and lyrically.

Just saying, but when people are trying to do everything they can to prevent you from voting, that’s when you absolutely need to vote.

Ready to make this the biggest midterm turnout in history?

When you think about it for more than 5 seconds, it really is both insane and outrageous that *HILLARY CLINTON* - a woman who apparently has never met with nor corresponded with Jeffrey Epstein was one of the first people deposed.

Props to Yoplait "Oui" yogurt which comes in glass containers and not plastic ones like 99% of yogurts. (And also for Yoplait's creative encouragement to turn empties into upcycled glass spice containers and such.)

What you need to know about Texas ICE detention deaths Last year was the deadliest year in ICE detention in two decades. Nearly a quarter of those deaths occurred in Texas.

Last year, the dangerous pattern of neglect and abuse at ICE detention facilities resulted in a record number of deaths.

This can't go on. Our members of Congress must act now.

Donald Trump’s presidency has been an absolute disaster for the American people.

Costs are skyrocketing. Access to affordable health care is disappearing. And Kristi Noem’s ICE is brutalizing American communities.

You deserve better.
