This was beautiful. Jackie Young put on a whole clinic! 🔥😩 #WNBA #WNBAFinals

Give the players the same amount of revenue the men got at the same point in their game - or better since they are outperforming NBA at the same time in history.

Michigan, my message to you is the same message I shared at Progressives in the Park in Grand Rapids:

We don’t have to settle.

"They went in without a warrant, and they did it because they could. So we're saying they can't. Stand with us, stand with Broadview, stand with Chicago, stand with the organizers who are fighting."

Chicago community members tell ICE agents to real jobs and shame them into leaving.

Hat off to everyone in Chicago right now pushing back.

Brave. Be careful!

Noem complained that her agents were not being permitted to use restrooms in Chicago because of opposition from residents.

We’re also seeing posts about restaurants denying service to ICE.

When the story of these Finals are written, Phoenix’s inability to build on its lead in the first quarter will be the defining moment.
When you come for the king, you best not miss.

Christian nationalist fascism: when they lower masked Gestapo goons from helicopters in the night to smash apartment windows, terrorize residents, and zip-tie and kidnap children for not being white looking enough— and then violate the 1st Amendment by reciting scripture from a government account.

The Vought Doctrine: Make it hurt It’s day five and counting of a budget impasse in Washington, but critics say characterizing this moment as a government “shutdown” is misleading. For months, Donald Trump and his budget director Russell Vought have taken a sledgehammer to the federal bureaucracy and are now using this moment to gut agencies and programs that benefit working and middle-class Americans, while conveniently keeping in place everything that benefits the wealthy. 

Russell Vought is not only Pres. Trump’s budget director but also an author of Project 2025, and he’s seizing this government shutdown moment to pursue his ideological drive to gut federal agencies and programs that benefit Americans. #Velshi

Chicago Alderperson handcuffed by federal agents speaks out as ICE escalates tactics Since returning to office, President Trump has sought to reshape Immigration and Customs Enforcement to fit his mass deportation agenda. ICE insists agents use a “minimal amount of force” when making arrests, but video footage shows otherwise. Now with Trump ordering federal deployments into Chicago against the wishes of local officials, Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes says, “This is not about safety or security. This is about sowing division. This is about control.”

"What we are seeing is a clear escalation of ICE agents choosing to abuse individuals physically and abuse their constitutional rights," says Chicago Alderperson @jessiefuentes.bsky.social after being detained by ICE herself for defending the rights of a detained, injured constituent. #Velshi

Is ‘TrumpRx’ a gift or a grift? As part of a multi-pronged deal with Pfizer, President Trump announced a new government website called “TrumpRx,” where he says Americans can buy discounted drugs directly from manufacturers. Co-Founder of The Contrarian, Norm Eisen, tells Ali Velshi that Americans are “already getting lower prices” because of the Affordable Care Act, and TrumpRx is “another example of President Trump deceiving and distracting” for political gain.

"This is another example of President Trump deceiving and distracting," @normeisen.bsky.social says of Trump's newest financial endeavor, TrumpRx, created to lower drug costs. "Some people watching this will have to pay tens of thousands of dollars more if they want to keep good healthcare." #Velshi

Rob Reiner: White House pressure on media is ‘beyond McCarthy era-esque’ From the cancellation of Stephen Colbert, to the preemption of Jimmy Kimmel and the postponing of Jessica Chastain’s new series, President Trump’s administration is using politics to squeeze Hollywood. Acclaimed filmmaker Rob Reiner calls the current climate “beyond McCarthy era-esque” and warns Ali Velshi, “This is just the beginning.” He says his colleagues need to speak up: “Our job now, as communicators, is to start communicating to the rest of the country.”

“Our job now, as communicators, is to start communicating to the rest of the country," acclaimed filmmaker Rob Reiner says of intensifying political pressure on the entertainment world. He warns the Trump administration's fear tactics are "just the beginning." #Velshi

FBI cuts ties with Southern Poverty Law Center after MAGA push The SPLC is the second civil rights group to lose its affiliation with the agency this week.

They took down the Klan.

Let’s be clear: Donald Trump is waging war against America with our military.

Every Democrat at every level of office must denounce this madness Monday morning. Has to be huge outcry. We need to be incredibly loud.

Trump is ignoring a judge's ruling, ignoring the sovereign right of governors to deploy their National Guard, ignoring the truth, lying about violence to justify his invasions.

Aren’t they needed at the border? {Scoff}
