This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it.

They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.

CNN: β€œAn older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 β€” 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

If Iran is close to a nuclear weapon it is because Trump pulled out of the the deal we had with them.

This is a crisis entirely made by Trump.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Sound familiar?

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.

Right now there are more U.S. troops deployed to Los Angeles than there are to Syria and Iraq combined.

New images could change cancer diagnostics, but ICE detained the Harvard scientist who analyzes them Without scientist Kseniia Petrova’s expertise, no one can fully unlock the data’s potential, putting crucial advancements in early cancer detection at risk.

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago:

β€”Pioneering cancer researcher;
β€”*Arrested* at airport in Boston;
β€”Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana;
β€”"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research.

Read it.

The US is scheduled to co-host the World Cup in 2026 and the Olympics in 2028.
Why would thousands of international athletes and millions of fans from around the world come to a country where tourists, asylum seekers, and visa holders are being disappeared to foreign prisons?

A friend drove two hours today for her breast cancer chemotherapy only to learn it was canceled due to NIH cuts. Clinical trial ended midstream. No treatment, no restart, no plan, no information. Her bro-in-law's chemo was also canceled.

This is disgraceful and un-American. The Trump administration defended its removal of articles highlighting the achievements of minority service members, including Navajo code talkers, Marines at Iwo Jima, and famed Black baseball player Jackie Robinson.

Trump's USDA will roll back safety regulations to β€œstreamline” meat processing.

This will boost corporate profits at the expense of worker health and food safety.

Last year's listeria outbreak tied to Boar's Head killed 10 people.

We need more regulation, not less. Hello?

Hmmm. Well… let’s find out.

How about a little informal poll?

Hey everyone, let’s see what the party wants…

If you want Schumer to STEP DOWN from leadership, REPOST THIS.

If you want Schumer to remain in his leadership role, LIKE THIS.

(Please don’t do both, lol)

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to β€œthe left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

If Linda McMahon and the Department of Education believe in "efficiency and accountability" (after laying off half of the department), then I'm sure they'll gladly publish a list of every position that has been eliminated and why that position is no longer needed.
