WATCH: Tennessee Republican congresswoman @RepHarshbarger refers to 77 year-old Black Democrat @RepAlGreen as “boy”, and says his cane is fake and implies it may be a gun.

(Spoiler: they won’t)

Republicans kill it.

My statement on today’s passage of the “PEACE Act”, which would erode our civil liberties.

President Trump talks to the Easter Bunny at the White House

Are you in the Signal group chat as well?

National security ain’t supposed to be a family affair, but apparently Pete Hegseth missed that memo.

Leaking classified military plans—TWICE—the second time on a personal Signal chat to friends and family? That man has no business being Defense Secretary. He’s a threat, not a leader.

The kids’ facial expressions says it all. 🤡

LAUGHING STOCK 🇺🇸🤡

Read the highlighted part. A judge calling the immigration mess Trump has created “Kafkaesque” — unable to even tell current students if they’re here legally now.

What a damn circus🎪

As former Trump Pentagon senior officials describe “total chaos” on his watch, Hegseth hilariously blames the media (again)

WATCH: “Senator Watson, drop this legislation and we’ll meet with you.”

Bo says he wants a compromise on his cruel bill kicking undocumented kids out of schools, so @tnimmigrant.bsky.social & others say drop the bill and they’ll be happy to talk.

REP. @vincentdixiefortn.bsky.social : “Pope Francis championed for migrants, the poor, the marginalized — we do a lot of things in this arena in the name of Christianity, it’s time for us to step up and do what’s right, and do God’s Will.” #RIP

😳

WATCH: “Fascism is here. We cannot act like this is normal. Shame on you who are silent in this time.”
