Governor vetoes funding for Heart of Missouri CASA CASA affected by the veto Gov. Mike Kehoe gave to the one-time $500,000 state appropriation.

By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference.

But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

Sen Cory Booker is already on the Senate floor speaking out.

He’s right: this isn’t an isolated incident—it’s a pattern of abuse by the Trump regime targeting those who dare to hold them accountable & law enforcement engaged in racial profiling.
🤬🤬🤬

@booker.senate.gov

If this is how this administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, and to day laborers throughout California and across the country.

We will hold this administration accountable.

Congress: Save Medicaid Now Politicians are attempting to pass devastating cuts to Medicaid right now and we must act fast. Send a message telling your member of Congress to fight back now.

The House passed a bill this morning that makes massive cuts to Medicaid. Now, it goes to the Senate.

Medicaid provides vital, lifesaving care to millions of people with disabilities nationwide. Tell Congress: Protect Medicaid.

Opinion | I knew the pain of apartheid. How dare Trump embrace Afrikaners as refugees. If the Episcopal Church had agreed to resettle South African Boers, then it would have elevated a lie that will affect refugee resettlement for years to come.

Naomi Tutu, daughter of the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu (and an Episcopal priest herself) fully addresses the lie at the heart of the claim of that white South Africans are “refugees.” Amplify her voice.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that will cut billions of dollars from Medicaid.

Medicaid is a lifeline for millions of people across the country, including more than 15 million people with disabilities. The Senate must reject this dangerous bill.

Every independent analysis is clear: the budget bill passed early this morning by the House GOP will gut essential programs like Medicaid and SNAP for working Americans, and make the ultra-wealthy richer.

We must do everything we can stop this bill in the Senate.

Republicans are scheduling votes in the DEAD OF NIGHT on Trump's "big, beautiful bill."

They advanced their bill last night at 10:30PM. The next vote is scheduled for 1AM on Wednesday.

Why hide? Maybe because this bill rips away health care from babies, new moms, and seniors.

This is absolute horror.

DHS asks for 20,000 National Guard troops to assist in deportations If approved, the move would be the first time Guard troops at the national level have been asked to assist in the removal of migrants in the U.S. without legal status.

I've been saying this for months now.

New Pope: I am changing my name from Robert Prevost to Leo XIV

Right wingers: Sure. No problem.

Right wingers: How are you try to violate my free speech!

Using police powers of the state to control, punish, or manipulate adversarial political actors is a hallmark of authoritarian regimes. In a democracy, a conflict between a mayor and the federal government would be mediated by the state, courts, and good faith actors, even if they disagree.

There is no fucking "invasion" and even a Trump judge says so.

These dumb fascists are beyond parody.

This will NEVER get old‼️🤣🤣🤣
