Kristi Noem testified under oath yesterday that detainees receive medical attention within 12 hours. Yet another shameless lie.

AOC: It’s beyond just the American service members who have tragically died in this, and our hearts do go out in prayer to their families, but also the over 100 Iranian schoolgirls who have been killed in these attacks, and the countless people who are affected, possibly displaced as well.

The American Dream: Every billionaire, if they work hard to elect the right politicians, can become a multibillionaire or, perhaps one day, a trillionaire. Inspiring.

ICE keeps killing people. Seek justice for Emmanuel Damas, Alberto Gutierrez, and so many more! #AbolishICE 🧵

REP. @justinjpearson.bsky.social opposes a redundant anti-immigrant Jason Zachary bill about commercial driver’s licenses, and takes issue with the dehumanizing language Jason insists on using.

These people are dunces.

Top Democrats, voting rights experts slam Trump's draft illegal order to seize control of voting "This is unconstitutional and insane," said Norm Eisen, the executive chair of State Democracy Defenders Fund and a former Obama administration official.

Following reports that anti-voting activists are coordinating with the White House on an emergency executive order allowing President Donald Trump to take control of voting, top Democratic lawmakers warned Trump is setting the stage to steal the midterms.

Pls call your Senators and tell them to oppose the GOP’s Save America Act: 202-224-3121. This is important bc MAGA is still trying to pressure Thune to force Ds into a talking filibuster in the hope that exhaustion or unforeseen circumstance will prevent Ds from succeeding. It’s all over X today.

The proposed merger between Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery is far from settled. It must be examined by Congress like all mergers to ensure it does not harm consumers, raise prices, or threaten jobs. I hope state AGs will use their powers as well.

Truth!

People Are Applauding The Five Members Of The Men's Hockey Team Who Declined Trump's Invitation—And Most Have One Important Thing In Common

I Caught POLITICO and the New York Times Laundering Pink Slime "News" How the sexist backlash to AOC and Gretchen Whitmer at the Munich Security Conference led me to a scammy "local news" outlet pushing a coordinated right-wing narrative

Interesting post about the coordinated anti-AOC smear campaign. It's 2016 again! Fake local news outlets on Facebook getting picked up until eventually it winds up in the Washington Post.

I have.

The President of the United States is detached from reality.

And lying.

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes.

$9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst".

Renee Good and Alex Pretti were unavailable for comment….

🤷🏼

The most disturbing part is knowing ICE left a little girl alone and didn’t care.

Annabella was six years old when her dad was detained by ICE while he was picking up their food order. She stayed inside, waiting.

He never returned to her that day.

DoJ cases against protesters keep collapsing as officers’ lies are exposed in court String of embarrassing defeats for prosecutors as experts condemn DoJ effort to cast people as ‘violent perpetrators’

Minnesota suburbs see ‘stealthier’ tactics as ICE stays active Minnesota residents and lawmakers say the promised drawdown has not materialized, and they are seeing ICE use more covert tactics to continue operations across Twin Cities suburbs.

She never lived to see this moment, but it’s worth remembering that none of this would have happened without Virginia Giuffre.

She had the courage to speak out against power and privilege when it was just her word against Andrew’s.

Thanks to her, justice & accountability may finally have its day.

Ossoff: "If you live in a major democracy, and the nation's spy chief is showing up at raids on sensitive election sites, something has gone wrong."

More of this, please. The folks in this grassroots group are heroes.

Haven Watch lives by the promise, “No One Walks Alone.” Day or night, they show up. When people are released from ICE detention, volunteers meet them in the cold, disoriented, and exhausted.

Beautiful and devastating all at once.
