Make it make sense. [Cartoon by Adam Zyglis]

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring.

Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

We remember, Nancy.

This is not normal

"I’m sorry if I’m not adequately sympathetic to Lisa Murkowski’s plight, but she understands the consequences of her actions. She says the vote was difficult– she voted for it! That’s not difficult. You don’t get credit for doing the hard thing when you don’t actually DO the hard thing."

I voted no on Republicans' attempt to use bogus math to hide the cost of their "Big, Ugly Bill." The truth is that their bill will increase the deficit by more than $3 trillion. But they don't want to admit that to the American public.

I keep seeing "there is no bottom" as if surprised.

If we're still looking for a line they won't cross we're missing the point.

The MAGA brand is to be as cruel, as unlawful, as hateful, as unAmerican, as fascist, as shocking as possible.

Until we understand that, we can't possibly combat them.

Been saying this for years. Abolish the supreme court. Not reform it, abolish it. Lifetime appointments and a history of almost exclusively being used as a tool for radically curtailing the rights of people demonstrate it shouldnt exist.

People that call him "Mr President" make me cringe. That SOB incited a mob and championed an insurrection. He deserves zero respect.

‘Completely Disrupted’: Fear Upends Life for Latinos in L.A.

Hector Mata, 22, an American citizen, has been avoiding taking the bus, worried that immigration agents may target public transportation in Los Angeles. “I’m brown,” Mr. Mata said of federal agents, “and that’s all they need.” www.nytimes.com/2025/06/30/u...

HHS eliminates CDC staff who made sure birth control is safe for women at risk The Trump administration eliminated the CDC team that developed national guidelines for prescribing contraception safely for millions of women with underlying medical conditions.

RFK Jr’s HHS eliminates CDC staff who made sure birth control is safe for women at risk.

This Isn’t a Budget. It’s a Betrayal. The “pro-life” party my ass.

Let’s not kid ourselves. This isn’t a budget vote. This is a vote on who gets to live and who gets to beg for mercy.

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

Thanks for your vote of confidence…I guess?!

Unlike you, I’d actually be focused on the American people—the issues they’re facing, making sure folks have healthcare, and consulting with Congress before dropping bombs on another country.

Mic drop.

161. The Court's Disastrous Ruling in the Third-Country Removal Case The majority did not just greenlight an especially odious immigration policy without any explanation; it did so in a case in which the government defied the district court—twice—with no consequence.

Today’s unsigned, unexplained #SCOTUS ruling clearing the way for removals of migrants to third countries without any additional process is a disaster—not just on the merits, but because of the government misbehavior that it not only refuses to punish, but effectively rewards.

Me, via “One First”:

what federal agents did to a father of three Marines while he was cutting grass in Orange County on Sunday has happened in some form daily — and deliberately — all over Los Angeles for 18 days.

Jeffries: "Not a scintilla of evidence to date has been presented that I have seen to justify the notion that there was an imminent threat to the United States of America. If the administration has evidence to the contrary, come up to present it."

Damn right!!!

Trumpism is bad, he doesn’t want to end foreign wars and he’s not gonna make things cheaper. Democrats, this is your moment to narrate what’s happening.

These ICE agents are an embarrassment to law enforcement. Imagine being so afraid of being a public servant that they have to cover their face. Under no circumstances should any arresting officer be lawfully allowed to shield his/her identity.

Is it too late to give Sacha Baron Cohen an Oscar for this? Not a damn lie told. 🇺🇸

Landscaper violently detained by agents in Santa Ana has three Marine sons; detained without food or medical aid A Tustin landscaper has been identified by his eldest Marine vet son after he was violently detained by immigration agents in Santa Ana.

“He has always worked hard to put food on the table for us and my mom,” said Alejandro. “He was always careful and always did his taxes on time. He never caused any problems and he is known as a kind and helping person by everyone in our community.” santanero.org/2025/06/21/l...

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore.

Make it make sense.

Beyond parody.

“family members identified the victim as Narciso Barranco, a father to three sons who are all U.S. Marines”
