Reps. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., and Rob Wittman, R-Va., and Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, all voted for cuts to the CFPB.

Yet collectively, they routed more than 1,000 constituent complaints to the agency, ProPublica found.

This really captures the nexus of cruelty and corruption at the core of MAGA:

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

Are American citizens being disappeared? Yes.

Are American citizens who are veterans of the US Armed Forces being disappeared? Yes.

Without warrant or probable cause—solely based on skin color—Trump goons captured and caged a citizen veteran for days.

This is a fascist regime.

Yes, America, he is referring to the 100% peaceful No Kings rallies that have literally nothing to do with Hamas or antifa or hating America.

America has been gaslit by these lunatics every day for a decade, and at some point the other shoe will drop—though I have no idea what or when that will be.

I, too, could use a blanket binkie lately.

This means that the Pacific Northwest will be under constant incursion of a foreign military. Trump is sending a FOREIGN MILITARY to America.

Pete Hegseth announced an agreement today to build a Qatari Emiri Air Force facility at a U.S. Air Force Base in Idaho.
 
Reminder: Earlier this year, the Trump admin accepted a Boeing 747 jet as a gift from the Qatari royal family.

😳 800 citations in two years for ignoring the laws in Nevada and @GovBillLee invited this wrecking crew to dig through the capital city www.newschannel5.com/news/elon-mu...

Sending billions to Argentina while laying off Americans at home.

Letting Qatar build a base on US soil coz they bribed Trump with a plane and are investing billions in his personal business ventures.

Doesn’t seem like “America First”, does it?

By contrast, JB Pritzker told me that people should flood the No Kings protests precisely in order to let the American people know that something is deeply amiss.

More Dems should be doing this, to send the message widely that we are in real trouble right now.

Real estate investors now own about 20% of single-family homes in the country.

A big reason why home prices have skyrocketed in recent years is a lack of supply — and investors sinking their teeth into whatever is left on the market is making the problem even worse.

Donald Trump is ordering extrajudicial killings of suspected drug smugglers.

He's vilifying his political opponents and threatening to jail them.

His ICE agents are terrorizing immigrants and firing chemical agents at peaceful protestors.

And some people think he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize?

General George S. Patton. The one Hegseth and Trump idolize. Who fought against Fascists to win WWII.

Weird how offended Christians get about the teachings of Christ.

Thank you! I apologize to Sen. Cantwell. I'm glad BOTH my senators are on the correct side of history.

Murray has been a refreshingly solid voice in leadership that otherwise are a bunch of mealy-mouthed wimps.

Only the best people.🙄

🧐

Only 50% for my state. Cantwell cannot be counted on. Murray is solid.

Brava! We need this shown EVERYWHERE!!!

🚨 It’s Mythbusters time. I asked my Democratic colleagues to help me clear up the shutdown misinformation being spread by Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans.

The Republican shutdown continues.

Thank you! I'm an oddball that can eat the blues, but not the fuzzy ones like Brie. Or at least not the fuzzy rinds. Sometimes, I'll get a surprise reaction to a cheese from a restaurant dish when I'm not expecting it, so I'm not always sure which cheese it is.

BlackRock is seeking to buy Aligned Data Centers, a data center construction company.

It’s also going to buy AES, one of the major power providers for Big Tech data centers.

While these data centers drive up your electricity costs, wealthy financiers are going to make a killing.

Context matters

Pennsylvania, wtf?

Who are you going to get to primary this wolf in sheep's clothing?
