I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

We the people will have the last word.

The fight has just begun...

Tim Walz eulogizes slain lawmaker as a historic Minnesotan — and friend After a hug with Kamala Harris, Gov. Tim Walz eulogized slain state Rep. Melissa Hortman as “the most consequential speaker in Minnesota history.”

It's incredible that neither the president nor VP was here. The politicization of all facets of American life is coming from the White House. No other American president would have failed to pay their respects. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

GOP Sen. Thom Tillis says Trump's mega-bill is bad for North Carolina: "This will force the state to make painful decisions like eliminating Medicaid coverage for hundreds of thousands in the expansion population, and even reducing critical services for those in the traditional Medicaid population."

Lindsey Graham doesn't want you to know the name of his opponent but will try every last pathetic attempt to save his seat.

My name is Lee Johnson. I am a Democrat running to retire Lindsey. If you are with me I need you to share this and follow my account. Let’s end this nightmare.

Today is the 1st offical day of the hurricane season. NO seasonal forecast ever saved a life. The INDIVIDUAL storm forecasts save lives. Pay attention when we start tracking tropical systems. Here's hoping this year is kind to Carolinas. #wncwx #avlwx #boonewx #cltwx #hkywx #ncwx #scwx

Dear Members of the Press.
P0TUS bragging that his tariffs are "already" bringing TRILLIONS of $$ into the US.

Beyond the fact that it's not true, will you please ask him, "If that's so, then there's no need to even discuss cutting social services, medicine, education, air safety, etc etc. Right?"

This part

People should lift each other up and cheer each other on, not try to outdo each other. The sky would be terribly dark with only one star.

Booker: For people with 401(k) accounts and retirement savings, they’ve lost thousands. I’ve been hearing from people who had hoped to retire this year after working 25, 30, or even 35 years, but now they don’t think they have enough money because he’s taken $6 trillion overall out of the markets.

Trump is crashing the US Economy.

The ways to remove him via impeachment or the 25th Amendment are broken.

At some point, some Republican Congresspeople must recognize that they must choose between Country and fealty to a Mad King.

Trump says tariffs will help US workers, but he may actually be putting them out of a job.

Not only do tariffs make it harder for American companies to source products, but retaliation from our trading partners will shrink export markets.

In a trade war, there are no winners.

This!

North Carolina Democrats WILL fight this decision. But make no mistake, the statewide court of appeals bench has cowered to political pressure and corruption from their own party. The NCGOP and RNC are trying to steal an election and test the waters for future election denial.

Do you know who laid the foundation for the FDA?

President Theodore Roosevelt. Do you know why? Because he read a great piece of literature that exposed the mistreatment of immigrant workers and the disgusting, unsanitary practices in meatpacking plants…

The book is called “The Jungle.”

@booker.senate.gov well done, good and faithful public servant, well done.

Dr. Tina Tan, president of the Infectious Diseases Society of America, on Trump's massive cuts at HHS:

"The profound loss of the critical expertise ... will make our country significantly less safe from both chronic and infectious diseases."

"Counter to the goal of keeping America healthy."

Records are meant to be broken. Congrats @booker.senate.gov for stepping up and standing up for the American people.

Blazing your own path for the W

👏👏👏👏👏

CORY BOOKER MAY GO FOR ANOTHER HOUR. I ain't never seen a more tired awake person in my life. #GoodTrouble

Speaker Johnson claims proxy voting is unconstitutional. He's done it 39 times.

Now, he's embarrassed that nine Republicans joined all Democrats to allow new moms and fathers to vote by proxy.

His response? Throw a fit and cancel votes for the week.

Cory Booker just passed the 24 hour mark. He's been speaking for a full day straight. 20 more minutes to break Strom Thurmond's record.

Thank you Cory Booker for proving that this is not normal and that there is always something more to be done.

Neither state nor federal courts have stopped Elon Musk from handing out $1 million checks to voters, first in Pennsylvania during last year’s presidential campaign and now in Wisconsin, where Musk is backing a conservative candidate for the state Supreme Court. | Analysis

I just tuned into the Booker live feed and after 22 hours he's speaking rapidly, passionately, furiously, and completely coherently.

By the way, last week, in impromptu remarks, Trump could not remember the word "criminal" and had to say "people of crime."

Evangelicals, Your Refusal to Love Your Transgender Neighbors is a Sin Dear Evangelicals,

Stop working so hard to erase transgender people, to make them disappear. It isn't going to happen. They exist. They are here. They deserve to be here.
