More than a million acres of public lands could be sold off in the budget bill for mansions, gated communities, and profiteering.

The Senate could be voting on this terrible bill this weekend! Call your senators now to oppose the sell-off of public lands 🚨 (202) 224-3121

Protestors in Denver continued to march towards the highway, and were met with police force on the corner of Colfax and Osage. The protestors were unarmed and were met with tear gas and pepper bullets.

The road to fascism is lined with people telling you to stop over reacting

The road to fascism is lined with people telling you to stop over reacting

There is no such thing as an overreaction with what has now happened. This is the line in the sand.

Every red hat who supports killing Americans is a traitor.

This is absolutely insane, and criminal. Everyone, especially a Senator representing the state, has a right to speak out.

The fact that the agents felt protected in acting this way says everything.

We’re quickly traversing a dangerous path

Seems worth noting that Noem's story is that "no one knew who" Padilla was. Hmmm. You're in CA with US marines in LA. CA.... I think two senators? You don't know what one of the state's two senators looks like?

The brutal handcuffing of Senator Padilla is an affront to democracy. I’m joining House Democrats to march to Senator Thune’s office and to demand that he protect his Colleagues from this out-of-control authoritarian onslaught.

I love @repstaceyplaskett.bsky.social unfiltered. Extremely unfiltered. There is frustration among Democrats hearing people say that they aren't doing anything. Rep. Plaskett has thoughts. She also talks about how Medicaid cuts would hurt Americans.

My Dad's WWII Navy medals, including D-Day certificates for his service. They now are displayed proudly in my home. I remember the day of the ceremony in which he was recognized for his service. You are missed every day.........

We honor the bravery of those who risked everything on D-Dayβ€”and remember why they did.

Freedom demands vigilance, then and now.

The Truth About Russia’s Nuclear Threats Against Ukraine
YouTube video by Adam Kinzinger The Truth About Russia’s Nuclear Threats Against Ukraine

Russian nuclear threats are a BLUFF. They’ve threatened it for years, and backed down each time. They fear that we will realize that. Watch this and stop falling for paper tiger Putins scare tactics

Trump Talks a Lot About Antisemitism, With a Notable Caveat

Last week I wrote that Trump is scapegoating Jews in a new way, using them as an excuse to deport students w/out due process for exercising their 1st Am rights. He certainly didn’t jump in to support American Jews after the horrific attack in Colorado www.nytimes.com/2025/06/02/u...

Advocates worry over possible cuts to Head Start The decades-old federal program provides childcare, nutrition assistance and other services to the nation's poorest families.

"46% of Head Start funding goes to rural areas, often in places without any other child care option..."

Obama: Imagine if I had done any of this. Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials. Imagine if I had said to law firms that you will not be allowed into government buildings.

It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me
