Little Rock, the capital city of Tom Cotton's home state of Arkansas, has one of the highest violent crime rates of any city in the United States.

D.C. doesn't even crack the top-10.

If you think you can rely on elected Democrats alone and you don’t need to take to the streets to say you’ve had enough with Republican recklessness, rejection of due process and tyranny, you’re not paying attention.

How Much Injustice Will Americans Take? A Saturday Prompt

The arrest of a judge and the removal of U.S.-born children represent the escalation of this regime’s lawlessness and inhumanityβ€”part of its expanding commitment to stoke fear, ignore its constitutional obligations & threaten the lives of everyone in America.

We told the truth about who he is. It has nothing to do with any other Italian or person of Italian descent. He was a mass-murderer, thief, enslaver, torturer, and incompetent governor who was despised by his own men & fellow officers and died penniless after being imprisoned.

How Trump Plays Into Putin’s Hands, From Ukraine to Slashing U.S. Institutions Many of President Trump’s actions have been seen as benefiting Russia either directly or indirectly, so much so that Russian officials have celebrated some of his moves.

β€œIt’s hard to see how Trump would have acted any differently if he were a Russian asset than how he has acted in the first 100 days of his second term.”

Huh. You don't say.

If the Supreme Court - especially THIS Supreme Court - no longer takes DHS at its word, corporate media probably shouldn’t either. Just sayin.

Trump Just Did the Most Corrupt Thing Any President Has Ever Done He’s using the White House to get rich from anonymous investorsβ€”and it’s hardly even a news story.

NYT and Washington Post, put your best reporters on this and place their stories on your front pages. MSNBC, hammer on thisβ€”you haven’t been. Democrats, talk about this every day, several times a day. Do not let Trump’s sewer standards jade us.

Given the literal definition of deportation is removing a foreigner or noncitizen from the country, we - journalists, media orgs - should probably all stop referring to the β€˜deportation’ of a 2 year old US citizen. It’s NOT a deportation.

I’m not sure what it is. A kidnapping?

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

Maddow: 88% of the country says no, no, he cannot defy a supreme court ruling. Only 9% say yes he can. And you know, it's not the same thing. But I should mention that 9% is also the proportion of Americans who told yougov this week that they have a favorable view of the black plague

Exclusive | From Ken Griffin to Robinhood: The Donors Who Funded Trump’s Inauguration Revealed President Trump’s inaugural committee raised almost $250 million from Corporate America, more than doubling the previous record.

Plenty of the donors to Trump's inaugural fund stood to gain from his administration.

For example, the poultry company Pilgrim's Pride donated $5 million. Now, it's benefiting from an extended waiver from allowing the industry to process more animals.

I think it's getting lost that Trump is *currently* very much in the process of defying the Supreme Court, which directed the administration to "facilitate" Abrego Garcia's return. This is not some theoretical showdown that will happen later. It's upon us right now.

The Government’s Chemical Disaster Tracking Tool Just Went Dark The chemical lobby demanded Trump make the locations of high-risk chemical plants secret. The EPA did just that.

Last Friday, Trump's EPA shut down a Biden-era website mapping locations of dangerous chemical plants.Β 

The chemical industry, which gave over $1M to Trump's inauguration, heavily lobbied the Trump administration to scrap the website. See how this works?
