It never ends with the Senate!

Under the precedents, agreeing to a motion to proceed to a motion to reconsider is supposed to displace the pending business (i.e., send it back to the calendar). ⬇️

And yet...

The Supreme Court and the Republicans in Congress have helplessly stood by and failed to exercise their ambition to protect the American people. Literally, today, Congress could into session and assign Russell Vought a 1 dollar or impeach him. We are about enter into a self-induced Long Parliament.

Cata Xotchil Santiago—a DACA recipient with a legal work permit—was detained by CBP at the El Paso airport while flying domestically.

She was denied legal counsel and told she had “no choice” but to comply.

This is an abduction.

DACA = lawful presence.
Domestic travel ≠ probable cause.

Democrats Will Fight Fire With Fire
Calling CA, OH and MN to help.

He’s certifiably nuts!

Senators Tuberville & Britt voted to cut Medicaid & SNAP when 1,097,000 Alabamians depend on Medicaid, with 45% of all births being covered by Medicaid, & with 752,200 Alabamians depending on SNAP benefits.

They traded the lives of Alabamians for a pat on the head from a felon.

Pardoned Jan. 6 Rioter Who Threatened Police Joins Justice Dept.

"As violence erupted, his charging document said, he told other rioters who were attacking law enforcement officers, 'Kill ’em! Kill ’em! Kill ’em!'

He then raised his arms in celebration after breaching the Capitol in a face mask... and escaped through a window..."

SICK AND EVIL

He is a mad man, pure and simple

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida.

If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

Hegseth to Remove Harvey Milk's Name from U.S. Navy Ship They never stop being hateful.

“Even those who support LGBTQ rights but may not particularly care what any given U.S. Navy vessel is named need to understand that this is a major domino leading toward much crueler actions.”

DUI hire can try to erase folks they hate, but the legacy of these people's lives will never go away. Chaos, corruption, & cruelty will not prevail long term

... the officers detaining migrants in the building, & bc advocates who had also witnessed the detentions outside the courtroom had been invited by the staff members to Mr. Nadler’s office.

It's not a deportation if a human is removed from a country outside of a legal system. Call it what it is: human trafficking or kidnapping.

Hey Jr.

Oh Don Jr, you forgot your brain

Sen. Chris Murphy to NBC on Democratic opposition to the GOP mega-bill: "What we're standing in the way of is the most massive transfer of wealth from the poor and the middle class to the rich in the history of the country."

We cannot force a corpse to donate organs, but we can force a dead woman to be an incubator against her family’s wishes.

The precedent this is setting is terrifying.

We Have More Power Than Trump Wants Us To Believe — Here's What You Can Do From Marc | Here is a list of what each of us can do to stand up for democracy and defend our elections.

There are things every one of us can do in our daily lives to help ensure free and fair elections — and, in doing so, limit Trump’s power. Some actions are small — so small that you might dismiss them as unimportant. Don’t. Every important journey begins with a single step.

Folks we have to stay focused. Watch this Psaki💣 where she explains how MAGA Republican Hardliners voted with Democrats to tank the “big beautiful bill,” because they don’t think the cuts to Medicaid and SNAP go far enough. Stop falling for the shiny object and make sure voters know this! LFG!!

Justice Sotomayor’s Message to Lawyers: Stand Up, Fight and Win In an era when judges are often assessed by their commitment to democracy, Justice Sonia Sotomayor stands as a stalwart in the pro-democracy camp.

Sotomayor’s support for the aggressive pro-democracy movement is so important at this critical time. She understands that while we must bring difficult cases and be willing to lose, we must always fight to win. And by lending her voice she affirmed that it is “our time to stand up and be heard.”

50 ways that Trump has attacked the environment in his first 100 days It's only been three months, but environmental groups say it's the worst assault on the planet from any administration.

Trump’s first 100 days have been a scorched-earth campaign against our environment—gutting clean air rules, slashing climate science, and fast-tracking polluters’ profits. I won’t stand by. I’ll fight him in Congress, in court, and in every other way I can.

Trump just literally said that "if you take out all the negative numbers , GDP is up".

How can anyone keep supporting this???

Are you better off under Trump? No matter what comes out of Trump’s mouth— the numbers don’t lie.

We fought for our independence.

We fought to end slavery.

We fought against the rise of fascism in Europe.

We fought for civil rights.

I refuse to believe we have lost the will to fight for what is right and just.

Dear Canada-
Please accept our deepest apologies from all decent Americans embarrassed by the obnoxious trolling from our man-baby-in-chief who is lacking in both intelligence & any impulse-control whatsoever.
