Detainees at Florida’s “Alligator Alcatraz” are on a hunger strike over what they call inhumane, dangerous conditions.

Some haven’t eaten in 10 days. One of them, Pedro Hernández, was hospitalized and still refuses food until they are treated with dignity.

If there's no Covid testing to track Covid, there's no Covid.

Incredibly disappointing. Infuriating too.

Shameful.

Donald Trump is a man obsessed with voter suppression and election conspiracies. He makes no secret of his willingness to misuse the Department of Justice to achieve his political objectives. Every day brings further evidence that the 2026 elections will be the culmination of these two realities.

I appreciate this man so much. The sheer emotional and physical exhaustion he and his team must go through every day to try and make our voting rights stay strong and true. Thank you, Marc Elias.

the idea the dems have to hold onto the "moral highground" by not counter gerrymandering is so dumb. nobody gives a fuck about the moral high ground. the president is literally rapist

AOC’s dress broke ethics rules.

Trump’s crypto empire? Fine.
Qatar gifted him a plane? Cool.
Congress still trades stocks like it’s nothing? No problem.

This system is a joke.

Trump lawlessness continues with the unlawful appointment of a lawyer with ethics complaints outstanding. She was called “unqualified & disqualified” by the NJ Law Journal Editorial Board.

The idea that it’s misconduct for a federal judge, at a private meeting of judges, and in response to the Chief Justice’s question about any concerns the judges may have, to express his colleagues’ well-taken concerns about whether the rule of law can survive, is not just preposterous, but insane.

This is about more than immigration. It’s about fighting for basic human rights and preserving our democracy.

Sen. PADILLA: John R. Lewis reminded us that our vote is sacred, but it is never guaranteed. We can all use John Lewis’ courage right now to push back against this Administration’s brazen attacks on our right to vote.
