As I shared on @theweekendprime.bsky.social, we’re witnessing the largest “de-documentation” effort in modern US history.

That runs contrary to the will of the American people, who overwhelmingly support a balanced approach between border security and functional legal immigration pathways.

The President's disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers. He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

The New York Times covers trans issues the way Fox News covers ICE protests.

Both lead the country to believe there is a conflagration by highlighting a few fires over and over, while ignoring the fact that most people just want to live their lives without the government in their faces.

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife.

While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE.

This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

US CDC official in charge of COVID, RSV data resigns ahead of vaccine meeting A U.S. government scientist who oversees the team responsible for collecting data on COVID-19 and RSV hospitalizations used to shape national vaccine policy has resigned, citing concerns over how such data would be used by the Trump administration.

When brilliant, experienced scientists feel they can no longer do their jobs—it’s a warning siren 🚨

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

🏆 to whoever came up with and coordinated the No Kings protest at Ocean Beach, San Francisco.

Don’t miss it…absolute fire.

People who are immigrants belong in our communities, not detention.

The church has always been at its best when it stands with the crucified, not the crucifiers.

Today they have crossed a deep red line.

We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Weird thing about working an early morning show --you go to bed and sometimes when you wake up --everything's different . In that sense, despite the odd hours, it makes you like everybody else going about their lives

The first U.S. bishop appointed by Pope Leo XIV—a refugee himself—is mobilizing priests to accompany migrants at immigration court on June 20.

Republicans passed a package that guts $9.4 BILLION in critical funding.

They’re coming for global health, humanitarian aid, national security—& even PBS & NPR.

Let me be real clear:
What they’re cutting saves lives, keeps the world stable, and tells the truth.

Rep. McIver was conducting oversight. That’s her duty as a Member of Congress.

This isn’t justice—it’s retaliation.

A political stunt meant to silence anyone who dares to hold power accountable.

They may think they can scare us into silence. They’re dead wrong.

Today, I #WearOrange on Gun Violence Awareness Day in honor of Hadiya Pendleton and all those impacted by gun violence.

I know that a safer future is possible, and that together we will end this epidemic in honor of Hadiya and every victim and survivor of gun violence.

We're in court today seeking to expand our clients' recent legal victory to ensure all transgender, non-binary, and intersex people can be issued accurate passports.

Everyone deserves correct identification that reflects who we are.

I think you just fixed the Pro Bowl

A red kite with black, green, and white ribbons attached to the tail. Text says, “NO AMOUNT OF PROPAGANDA SHOULD CONVINCE YOU THAT SOME CHILDREN DON'T DESERVE TO GROW UP.”

I don’t know why this is so hard to understand

Frost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but the United States congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never forget this.

I voted NO on their “big, beautiful” bill because it will strip health care from 14 million Americans—including nearly 130,000 people in my district who rely on Medicaid.

This is real life, y’all.

These aren’t “democratic talking points”—this is a real mother and real babies at risk of going hungry, all because Republicans want to be greedy.

Somebody please tell me how you can feed a growing family of 6 on $15 per day… you can’t.

My statement on the charges filed against me:

I stand with Rep. LaMonica McIver.

This is a political stunt—point blank.
