Jimmy Kimmel isn't returning to the airwaves because of "thoughtful conversations" with Disney executives.

He's back because consumers sent Disney a clear message: selling out our fundamental rights is not an acceptable cost of doing business.

So, what happens to these seniors? Do the nursing homes just put them out on the streets to die? Bc thatโ€™s what weโ€™re talking about here.

Whoa! New polling shows that a majority of voters in EVERY SINGLE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT oppose cuts to Medicaid.

Members of Congress should take note.

Trump, asked if he has to 'uphold the Constitution,' says, 'I don't know' Trump said on NBC Newsโ€™ โ€œMeet the Pressโ€ that heโ€™s following lawyersโ€™ advice as he tries to execute rapid deportations, arguing that giving immigrants due process is time-consuming.

Trump was asked on Meet the Press if he's obligated to uphold the constitution.

His answer: "I donโ€™t know. Iโ€™m not, Iโ€™m not a lawyer. I donโ€™t know"

Kilmar Abrego Garcia lived in Maryland with his wife and their three children, and has never been charged with any crime.

The Department of Homeland Security issued him a work permit, and he joined a union, working full time as a sheet metal apprentice.

Really feel like Iโ€™m losing my mind: government OBVIOUSLY cannot punish an individual law firm for hiring someone it disfavors! Itโ€™s ludicrously unconstitutional and I feel like without a day of law school I could argue the case. And yet the best paid lawyers in the country are folding?

Chip in to support Kat Abughazaleh! Show your support with a contribution.

In less than 12 hours of being a candidate, my campaign raised over $150K because we canโ€™t bow down to Trump. Unlike Chuck Schumer and Dick Durbin, I will never capitulate to authoritarians.

You don't have to support or even like the campus protests to recognize how dangerous deporting a legal resident is. This is literally the point of the 1st Amendment. This is their test to see how much they can get away with. Next it will be immigration advocates and on. Don't make excuses.

The US military has removed photos of the B-29 bomber โ€œEnola Gayโ€ โ€” which dropped the first atomic bomb on Japan โ€” apparently because it contains the word โ€œgay,โ€ which violates their new anti-DEI rules.
