Today, Members of Congress got their paycheck unless (as I did) they wrote a letter to the House saying to withhold the pay pending the shutdown.

Meanwhile, Congressional staffers went without pay today.

Every member should answer whether they took the paycheck while their staff got nothing.

Death to every single Israeli? How is that different than what Smotrich says and does. I thought you were a serious journalist.

Racist Ambush in the Oval: How Elon Musk Hacked Donald Trump A visit from the South African President leaves no doubt

Today in the Oval Office, Donald Trump ambushed South African President Ramaphosa with racist lies about “white genocide.”

This is proof that Elon Musk not only hacked Grok to be more racist, he hacked Donald Trump.

EXACTLY!

Circulating footage shows Israeli soldiers documenting themselves throwing grenades at displaced Palestinians' tents inside a UN school in Gaza.

Journalist Hani Mahmoud reports on the impact of the ongoing Israeli war of hunger on Gaza, with children and newborns being the most vulnerable groups given the critical shortage of baby formula across the enclave.

Court denies White House appeal of 'shocking' Abrego Garcia deportation case The Fourth Circuit ruling against the Trump administration came just one day after it appealed a lower court order in the Abrego Garcia case, a remarkably short time for a court to reach a decision.

Palestinian child Odai Farid Ahmed was reported dead due to malnutrition and the lack of oxygen as a result of the ongoing Israeli blockade on the Gaza Strip and the ban on the entry of humanitarian aid, food, and essential medical supplies.

Palestinian children Abdullah and Mayar Shaaban Herzallah were killed along with their mother, Asmaa, in an Israeli attack that targeted their home in Gaza City yesterday.

YouTube video by Senator Chris Van Hollen Just landed in El Salvador to discuss release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia.

I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

It's yet another scandal.

A Palestinian man calls out for survivors after the Israeli occupation bombarded a residential area in the Shujaiya neighborhood, east of Gaza City, but no one responded.

Absolutely devastating from Israeli analyst @origoldberg.bsky.social:

"The consensus underpinning the great turmoil of Israeli politics is that Palestinians are not worthy of concern or respect or care. Their lives are ashes to be scattered at most, nothing more."

Gaza medic killings: How a voice from beyond the grave destroyed Israel's lie As he lay dying, Rifaat Radwan recorded the slaughter of his colleagues, debunking the army's version of events

‘Radwan was gunned down and tossed in a pit, but his voice rose from the grave. His testimony survived the bullets, his story shattering the lie. He told the world what his killers tried to bury: that even mercy is now a crime.’

The image is a screenshot of a tweet from Brandon Bradford (@BrandonLBradfor ). The tweet reads: "Deporting Americans without due process then saying they no longer get due process because they aren’t in America means no one has rights, FYI. Nightmare scenario."

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

We posted this a few times, but here it is again — President Reagan warns us about (Trump’s) tariffs: “Beware demagogues ready to declare a trade war against our friends… weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world.”

🚨 This Isn’t a Mistake - It’s Evil 🚨

🇺🇸government knowingly deported a legal immigrant-to a brutal prison in El Salvador. He had legal protection/no criminal record. ICE admitted it was an “administrative error.”
& yet they’re doing nothing to bring him back!

Just so horrifying.

Amen.

God grant the Palestinians relief. Amen.

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

He's doing his job so that we can (or might find within us the will to) do ours.

Our job is: Amplifying the truth of what he's saying.

Our job is: Calling our D electeds⬆️ to tell them to follow & build on Booker's example.

Our job is: Being part of the #HandsOff protest⬇️ on Sat, any way we can.

HE

DOING
HIS
JOB
SO
WE

(AND

DO
OURS.

For the love of God and all that's holy.

Don´t stop talking about it

Prices are soaring, your 401k is in the tank, Social Security phone lines are hours long.

Instead of addressing any of that – this administration is picking a fight with Denmark.

'Misguided mission': Senators blast detaining migrants at Guantanamo Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) was among a delegation of senators who visited the migrant detention operation at Guantanamo.

Deporting immigrants to Guantánamo is costly, illegal, and inhumane.

Kristi Noem refused to say who financed some of her travel. It was taxpayers who were on the hook An Associated Press analysis of recently released travel records found more than $150,000 in expenses tied to Noem’s political and personal activity.

Kristi Noem billed South Dakota taxpayers more than $640,000 in personal travel-related costs, including a six-day trip to Paris, a bear hunt in Canada, a trip to Houston for dental work to fix her smile, and a book tour. But she can afford a $50,000 Rolex for a prison porn photo op in El Salvador.
