Look at this letter a school in Hawaii sent home with kids … ICE shit..

Worth noting that among those participating in ICE/DHS watch in Minneapolis today — who Emmer appears to frame as “chaos agents” here — are literally hundreds of clergy.

My “sincerely held beliefs” say the same.

Why is he so out of breath?

This is what I told Cassidy’s office when RFK jr was nominated, that he’s an HIV denialist and that his dangerously wrong opinion would be catastrophic for people in Louisiana. This is why every HIV expert was screaming about how dangerous his nomination was.

I’m not sure people outside the Twin Cites realize the prevalence and the fear ICE is causing in Twin Cities. They are dining undercover pretending to be couples at restaurants, they are going to businesses and checking the license plates of cars to find employees. Every public place is compromised.

This is what happens when the Pope is from Chicago.

I don’t think that is pee…

Evil forces around the world have started to struggle in 2025, giving hope for a better future.

The tide is turning.

Let’s hope they struggle even more in 2026

On the same day he stripped AAP of millions in grant funding in retaliation, RFK Jr awarded $1.6M to Tracy Høeg's Danish friends for a grossly unethical study that will expose African babies to hep B for no reason than it's politically expedient.

Steal from American taxpayers, give to MAHA cronies.

This would benefit literally everyone except the insurance companies, and large corporations who want to keep employees trapped under otherwise disadvantageous conditions. So much of our healthcare spending goes to corporate profits instead of healthcare.

GOP senator probes 18 blue states, DC over Trump's transgender athlete order Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., investigates blue states for alleged Title IX violations related to President Donald Trump's order keeping biological males out of female sports programs.

So the senator who has been trying to repeal Obamacare since 2017 & who saddled us with RFKj, is now targeting blue states who are not complying with an EO.

Abortion And DEI Policies Now Considered Violations Of Human Rights, U.S. Says The Trump administration has overhauled how the State Department conducts its annual Human Rights Report.

(1/4) The Trump administration is ordering the State Department to label countries with abortion access, LGBTQ+ protections, DEI policies, and even hate-speech safeguards as human rights violators.

Fetterman, Shaheen & Slotkin voted to confirm Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem. Fetterman, Gallego & Kelly voted to confirm EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin.

Here’s the whole enchilada.

Almost 3/4 of people without health insurance have at least one full time worker in their home. The biggest reason these people don’t have health insurance is the cost. And that cost is going up dramatically for millions of hard working Americans who depend on the ACA.

Black-Owned Farms Fill Gaps Left by SNAP Funding Delays From North Carolina to Mississippi, small businesses work to feed their communities while benefits are paused.

SNAP participants can double their spending at their local farmers market or farm stands through a national initiative known as the Double Up Bucks food program. The policy council gives each customer wooden tokens, and if they spend $40, they will receive an additional $40 to spend.

We polled Indivisible members over the weekend on whether Dems should take a deal or keep fighting for the ACA subsidies. Results: 98.67% said keep fighting.

Dems who vote to surrender now are fracturing their own party in a way that will reverberate loudly in the primaries.

His Health Savings Accounts are only for those on Bronze and catastrophic plans. Which is fewer than 8M people.

Just a reminder that after the “Schumer Surrender” in March, 82% of our group leaders in New York (and 91% of our group leaders nationwide) voted to call for Schumer to step aside as Senate Minority Leader. 👇

Seems to be a pattern.

The least the democrats can do is demand that Johnson swear in new AZ Rep. Adelita Grijalva *before* the senate caves on the shutdown.
Get something, dammit.

Schumer must be forced out of leadership.
He lost the Senste in 2024.
He caved in the spring budget fight, breaking his promise to back House Democrats.
Now he’s lost the shutdown.

He must step down as minority leader.
