Kelly: "I had another situation here with a kid who was on his little league trip in a baseball tournament. Border Patrol pulls over the vehicle, identifies the brown kid, he winds up in lockup for a week...this isn't what the American people wanted and I don't think it's consistent with our values"

Youβre getting your wish. Immigrant workers arenβt showing up, and farm owners are hiring.
The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.
When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.
The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

LAWRENCE OβDONNELL: COURAGE PERSONIFIED π₯
He never flinches. Nightly, he calls out Epstein, Maxwell, & Trumpβnaming the abuse, the coverups, the cowardice.
While others stay silent, he speaks for survivors.
The mediaβs complicity helped crown a predator.
Lawrence delivers justice in words.
The correct news headline for this is not "Trump to Lay Out His Plan for Reducing Crime in Nationβs Capital" (Bloomberg) or "Trump to speak at White House on violent crime in D.C." (CNBC), but rather "President Lies About Crime in DC."
News outlets are obligated to maintain a grip on reality!!

Itβs truly depraved for Trump to welcome Vladimir Putin to the US while Putin is actively wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes in Ukraine.
Trump calls this a peace summit but itβs just an opportunity to hang out with one of his dictator buddies. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-a...

It is far better to be mocked in a cartoon for how you look than to be shoved into the back of a U-Haul and kidnapped for how you look.
Ann Johnson & TX Democrats didnβt run from Texasβthey ran straight to the front lines to defend your right to vote. Gerrymandering is just redlining in a new suit, and theyβre not having it. Theyβre standing tall in California to protect democracy for every American. Courage like this? It spreads.
