I’ve been in politics for over a half-century. I’ve watched as corporations and the super-rich flooded D.C. with campaign cash and ransacked our system.

It won't be easy, but here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people. https://youtu.be/sP0pRIBRcDk?si=o8uynfvuoVhcX7p8

BREAKING: Judge Breyer declines to delay his preliminary injunction schedule and restraining order on the National Guard deployment in LA, so the injunction against Trump STANDS and the timeline that was issued MUST be adhered to despite any possible ruling from the 9th Circuit.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022.

That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations.

So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called Los Angeles a “city of criminals” and not a city of immigrants. But like its name, Los Angeles is a city of angels. We protect and look out for one another, especially the most vulnerable.

Crockett: Instead of the President cosplaying as the next pope, he may want to cosplay as an actual President of these United States. That means he may have to do a little bit of research and understand that he swore a an oath to defend and protect the constitution.

Louisiana Sent Kids to Adult Jail That Violated Scores of Regulations, Reports Say Investigators found the Jackson Parish Jail violated state rules 83 times between July and February—12 times more than the second-worst jail.

Children incarcerated at the Jackson Parish Jail in Louisiana say they’ve been held in solitary confinement, sprayed with mace, and shot with pepper balls.

The fact remains: No prison is a safe prison for children.

The Public Broadcasting Act specifically prohibits “any department, agency, officer, or employee of the United States” from exercising “any supervision, direction, control, over educational television or public broadcasting.“

I have friends on that wall.

I know people on that wall.

I saw firsthand sacrifices that the people named on the USAID Memorial Wall made for their country, for their fellow citizens and for the people that they served. We will not forget.

This administration kills everything it touches.

Elon Musk and DOGE’s Savings May Be Erased by New Costs An expert on the federal work force estimates that the speed and chaos of Mr. Musk’s cuts to the bureaucracy will cost taxpayers $135 billion this fiscal year.

"The Partnership for Public Service, which studies the federal workforce, has used budget figures to produce a rough estimate that Trump's firings, re-hirings, lost productivity and paid leave of thousands of workers will cost upward of $135 billion this fiscal year."

Breast cancer diagnoses rose by over 300% between 1973 and 1992.

Was there a breast cancer epidemic?!

NO.

Mammograms were implemented for screening in 1976.

PREVALENCE is a function of being able to correctly diagnose something.

This is also about autism.

Fork 2.0 dropped today for us. They didn’t get enough people the first time so I’m guessing if they still don’t hit their goal then RIFs will come next. It’s cool. Not like we’re drowning under the workload due to low staffing as it is or anything. 😭😭😭😭😭

Riggs: We all should be offended that our service members and their families are being targeted the way they are. The people who raise their hands to serve shouldn’t be first in line to lose their ballot just because they happen to be coming from a Democratic county. That’s just not right.

They had lawyers, trials, most were given pretrial release, allowed to testify in their own defense, got discovery, could call witnesses, could cross-examine witnesses, could present mitigation at sentencing, and had a right to appeal.
