Schumer: "Iran doesn't have Tomahawk missiles, Donald Trump! The claim is beyond asinine. He says whatever pops into his head no matter what the truth is. And we all know he lies, but on something as formidable as this, it's appalling."

The chaos across multiple airports is a totally unnecessary Republican-created problem. Dems have proposed funding for TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard, yet Republicans – who hold a majority in both the House and Senate – continue to hold these agencies hostage in order to get more funding for ICE.

Another large-scale deportation blitz hasn’t materialized in Chicago, despite warning of a spring surge A lot has changed since a source told the Chicago Sun-Times 1,000 agents could return this month. But immigration enforcement remains a key pillar of Trump’s second term, and ICE continues to hire and...

When Greg Bovino and his agents left Chicago, the reprieve came with a warning: They might return fourfold in March.

It's March. And Trump has fired Kristi Noem, instead.

It took Trump 10 days to create an energy crisis reminiscent of the 1970s, replace Ayatollah Khamenei with Ayatollah Khamenei, and weaken our alliances worldwide. He put American servicemembers in harm’s way, resulting in seven deaths. None of this made you safer or better off.

The open Islamophobia coming from some in the Republican Party is disgraceful, dangerous and un-American. Randy Fine and Andy Ogles are spreading hate and should be censured. Our country is already divided enough, members of Congress should not be targeting Muslim Americans for political gain.

Feds violated immigration court order, wrongly deported hundreds, court filing alleges Attorneys say hundreds, if not thousands, of people arrested in the Chicago area could have ultimately been found eligible for release.

The federal government knew it wrongfully arrested Henry Cordova Jaya. They violated a court order for arrests, said they were seeking his release, and nevertheless sent him to Ecuador. Our story about Homeland Security using time and jail to abuse rights

I was asked by Jake Tapper if my push to deny Trump funding for his illegal war with Iran was a failure to "support our troops".

My answer: refusing to repeat the mistakes of the past - sending soldiers to die in pointless Middle East wars - is how we support our troops

Our bases are being bombed.
Our embassies are under attack.
Thousands of Americans are stranded.
Innocent Iranians are being murdered.
We’re spending $1B a day to wage an illegal war which has resulted in the deaths of 6 US soldiers & injuries to countless others.

And where is Trump?

Golfing.

I wonder what percentage of Americans knows that the CIA helped overthrow a democracy in Iran in 1953, installing a brutal dictator who tortured and murdered people. Republicans keep citing the 1979 Islamic Revolution as if that was the start of U.S.-Iran hostilities. Go back 26 years earlier.

This is a bs β€œapology” from Fox. They claim it was β€œinadvertent” - a lie. They aired old footage because they didn’t want to show Trump wearing his campaign hat during the ceremony. Then in this statement they STILL don’t show the correct footage of Trump. bsky.app/profile/aaro...
