The United States never has enough money to keep people alive at home but always has enough money to kill people overseas.

🔥 FLASHBACK — TEXAS: “This f*ckin’ hurts… I can’t drive. My brother, my cousin— y’all don’t understand the sh*t y’all do hurts our community.”

Rep. Walle confronted TX Republicans who cut off debate (sounds familiar!) on bills targeting immigrants & unleashing racial profiling.

For those looking for signs the tide is turning, the American Bar Association just dropped a massive federal lawsuit against the Trump regime, naming every single department and every single cabinet member. My write-up on this unprecedented move in the replies.

A 31-year-old Pennsylvania man initially arrested on suspicion of illegally carrying a gun near a “No Kings” protest outside Philadelphia over the weekend was rearrested this week after investigators found a pipe bomb and several other explosive devices at his home, authorities said.

Businesses are stepping up to protect their employees against ICE raids. Over 100 workplaces have pledged to become 4th Amendment Workplaces and have trained their staff on what to do if ICE shows up.

The Big Beautiful Betrayal lowers incomes for nearly 100 million working families, raises mortgage costs, and takes funding from rural hospitals — all while giving massive tax breaks to the wealthy. This isn’t the bill for you and we must reject it.

Yes, we should!!

CNN's Fred Pleitgen is in Iran's capital city of Tehran and is the first Western journalist to enter the country since its conflict with Israel started. Hear his first impressions and what he's witnessed as he journeyed across Iran.

Four Democratic members of Congress from Illinois, Jesús “Chuy” García, Danny Davis, Delia Ramirez, and Jonathan Jackson, were denied entry to an ICE facility in Broadview, just outside Chicago, despite federal policy allowing them access without prior notice.

How Immigrants and Labor, Long Joined in L.A., Set the Stage for Protest Unions have backed immigrant rights in California and have been on the forefront of resisting the Trump administration’s deportations.

Los Angeles is a city of immigrants and unions. Those two constituencies have essentially melded into one, with unions backing immigrant rights and moving to the forefront of the protests against the Trump administration’s deportations.

I opened my interview with @governor.ca.gov with the news that Karoline Leavitt had just attacked him from the White House podium. His response was pretty direct. It's all propaganda.

2022 government budgeted $96.2 billion for elementary & secondary education. 46.4%, came from the Education Department.

About $1 in every $7 (or 13.7%) of public school funding comes from the federal government. Depending on the district, that number can range from 0% to 75%. @usafacts.org

YouTube video by MeidasTouch EXCLUSIVE: Governor Newsom ADDRESSES State and Nation LIVE

Take 8 mins and listen to #GavinNewsom full speech yesterday. His view of events, and why so many of us are angry with the deportations, Trump's military response to our right to protest, the Trump's fear and chaos approach for power, and the danger to democracy.

The Trump Administration is mobilizing an additional 2,000 National Guard troops to inflame tensions in LA, impacting the state’s wildfire prevention & fentanyl task force efforts.

Trump doesn't care about protecting Californians. He’s militarizing our state & provoking chaos.

“Until the raids stop, I am going to be concerned about fear and tension in the city. People going to work and not knowing whether or not they are going to be able to get home that evening”

L.A. Mayor Karen Bass reacts to Trump admin. continuing ICE raids for the next 30 days.

The national news story about the riots in Los Angeles are not even making local news. Just checked the stations: One talking about the impact of staff cuts in national parks, another about the best cruise lines for vacations, and the third doing the weather. Trump’s fantasy rebellion doesn’t exist!

“Frankly, it’s provocative. It is almost as if the administration wanted to see chaos.”

Los Angeles Mayor Bass on President Trump's response to anti-ICE protests

RFK Jr. breaks promise to senators, guts CDC vaccine panel of independent experts Before his confirmation, the HHS secretary said he’d leave the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices alone. Now he’s doing the opposite.

OPINION by @stevebenen.com:

“RFK Jr.’s anti-science reputation was well established long before Trump nominated him. That an unqualified, anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist is behaving like an unqualified, anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist is painfully predictable.”

Tear gaslighting…

Trump is once again exploiting the presidency to vastly enrich himself and his cronies. The crypto grift of his Memecoin is unprecedented. The Washington Post reports "The first family’s net worth has already ballooned by $2.9 billion thanks to its dealings in digital tokens"#corrupt #MAGA

This is one of the worst interviews I’ve ever seen. Moran keeps trying to move on from a point Trump is CLEARLY WRONG ON and just says “agree to disagree.” Do your fucking job!

It was never about saving money—or rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse.

Musk bought himself a presidency, and in exchange, Trump handed him the keys to our government so he could tear down anything in his way, siphon off our data w/his hackers, and line his pockets w/more fat government contracts.

Since President Trump took office, families have seen higher prices for everything from utility bills to groceries.

We should be working to lower the cost of living for Americans — not making everything expensive.

Great investigative piece with strong insight into the actual criminal activity vs. the real motivations of the equally criminal MAGA engine.
