DHS Secretary Kristi Noem testified that detainees receive medical attention within 12 hours.

That’s just plain false.

Listen to the U.S. Citizens who were wrongfully detained and denied critical care.

WATCH β€” @senpeterwelch walks through a no-bid $143,000,000 contract that went to @KristiNoem’s spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin’s husband’s company that had just been formed.

She should be impeached for this outrageous scandal alone.

Yet it’s barely a blip in this corrupt regime.

Investigation finds β€˜secretly’ added chemicals of unknown safety in US food supply | CNN Over 100 chemicals of unknown safety were secretly added to foods and supplements without notifying the public or the FDA, a new investigation found.

deregulation rules!!!

"Food companies are deciding on their own to secretly add unreviewed chemical ingredients to products instead of following existing federal guidelines meant to assure food is β€˜generally recognized as safe,’ or GRAS."

I am a poll observer in North Carolina and the trend we are seeing is unaffiliated voters are choosing Democratic ballots 68% of the time vs republican ballots. That speaks volumes.

I voted in Dallas County today. The texas.gov site wouldn't tell me where to go, so I went to where I voted in the '24 presidential election. They said I was at the wrong place, and gave me the address I needed to go to. That place then informed me I had to go somewhere else.

Relevant considering the new election day-only singlw assigned polling location for Dallas county residents that almost no one knew about. Despicable, yet totally predictable voter suppression behavior for Texas.

Voter confusion plagues Texas primary in key county Republicans’ decision to shake up polling locations led to mass confusion in the Texas primary election.

Hundreds of voters showed up at the wrong polling place after the Dallas County GOP forced both parties to abandon countywide vote centers in the March primary.

Talarico and Crockett have almost identical party platforms. Their only difference is their theory re: how to win -- Crockett wants to boost POC and urban turnout to overwhelm white rural votes, Talarico wants to flip the white rural votes.

Policy-wise, they're near identical.

AP: "Trump takes unconventional approach to communicating to the public about war in Iran"
"Unconventional approach?" i.e., lying, propaganda, unhinged ramblings, and delusions.
The sanewashing/gaslighting of this malignant buffoon by the media is infuriating.

Arizona numbers show massive decline in SNAP enrollment SNAP enrollment has fallen dramatically in Arizona in just three months, according to the latest state numbers.

Children make up more than 40% of the state’s SNAP recipients, and the number of kids receiving benefits in January fell by one-third compared to October.

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.

They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.

Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.

Watch how they vote this week.

It's infuriating and frankly disrespectful to call our modern-day Gestapo, aka ICE, "law enforcement officers." They're nothing of the sort. Real law enforcement protects (or should protect) people. ICE terrorizes them.

CHECK YOUR PRECINCTS!!! It's absolutely disgraceful that Crooked Gregg Abbott entirely destroyed the precinct system in our Great American State of Texas, it is, while Millions of Americans have to search for where they're going during our BIG, BEAUTIFUL Primaries. MAKE AMERICA JOKE AGAIN!!! BB

Just now: Texas Democratic Party says β€œhundreds of Dallas County voters are being turned away from the polls” because of new Republican-led requirements that they vote only in their precinct, rather than anywhere in the county #txlege

If Crockett wins the nomination I’ll vote for her

If Talarico wins the nomination I’ll vote for him

Those are the only two options.
We don’t vote for republicans and especially don’t vote for boot licking politicians who don’t care about their constituents.

Religion and politics/ government are not a good match. Harris was right endorsing Crockett over the Bible thumper.
