Disappointing.

Senate Probe Uncovers Allegations of Widespread Abuse in ICE Custody Led by US senator Jon Ossoff, the investigation cites hundreds of reports since January, including accounts of miscarriages, child neglect, and sexual abuse at ICE detention centers in dozens of state...

As of late last month, the investigation—led by US senator Jon Ossoff, a Democrat of Georgia—had unearthed 41 cases of physical and sexual abuse; 14 involving pregnant detainees and 18 involving children.

Rep. Beyer on Twitter: “Memorial Day honors the servicemembers who lost their lives fighting for our country. They gave everything so we could live in a democracy, and we owe it to them to protect that democracy from those who are taking advantage of it.”

Blue background with a painted red poppy flower. Text says: Memorial Day, Today we remember those lost. In Flanders Fields By Lt. Col. John McCrae, 1915. In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly. Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie, In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw. The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die. We shall not sleep, though poppies grow. In Flanders fields.

🙏🏾🌹 This Memorial Day, we hold in prayer those who have been affected by war. We honor the lives lost and grieve with the families of the fallen. May we continue to work toward peace and a #JustWorldForAll.

Trying to imagine holding grudges and being as petty as Donald Trump at damn near 80 years old and it’s just impossible, insane

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

Hey guys remember the Hillary Clinton email server?

Seems kinda, small today, doesn’t it?

hillary clinton is smiling while speaking into a microphone in front of a crowd . ALT: hillary clinton is smiling while speaking into a microphone in front of a crowd .

I'm no lawyer, but it seems like discussing war plans in Signal outside a SCIF is maybe just a little bit worse than using a private server to send emails that weren't even marked as classified. But what do I know.

Just saying: if Lloyd Austin had done this, every GOP lawmaker would call for his resignation by close-of-business the same day, and they'd probably have it.

A Conversation With Jeffrey Goldberg About His Extraordinary Scoop How The Atlantic’s editor in chief found himself in a group chat with Trump-administration officials who were planning an attack on Yemen

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Pete Hegseth would not be Sec of Def without @RogerWicker. He had the power to stop the nomination.

So, will Senator Wicker call for an investigation of the most serious national security breach in modern times? Or just look the other way? Party or country?

Trump’s Attempts to Muzzle the Press Look Familiar Much of what the U.S. president has done to curb independent media echoes the Hungarian autocrat Viktor Orbán’s playbook.

Curious How Trump’s Cost Cutting Could Affect Your National Park Visit? You Might Not Get a Straight Answer. National Park Service staff have received talking points ordering them to describe layoffs as “workforce management actions” and to reassure visitors that changes resulting from the cuts won’t impede…

A series of emails sent to national parks workers provided instructions on how to describe staff cuts to visitors.

They were told to avoid the word “fired” and not blame closures on staffing levels.

These are e most important #s for the Dems. They should be tracking all local media and influencers in these states and reposting it everywhere

The economic pain tariffs can indlict on red states need to be talked about more than anything else right now. It will flip voters.

Dismantling the Department of Education has nothing to do with improving outcomes for our kids, it’s simply about taking away resources from our public schools.
