Warnock: A budget is not just a fiscal document. A budget is a moral document. Show me your budget and I'll show you who you think matters and who doesn't. And if this awful budget were an EKG, it would suggest that our nation has a heart problem and is in need of moral surgery

Warnock: "We are engaged in Robin Hood in reverse ... this is socialism for the rich."

It’s beautiful and needs to be replicated many times over

Don’t let Trump’s reckless attacks on Iran distract you from the fact that he wants to destroy Medicaid and kick 11 million Americans off their health insurance and kill 51,000 people each year

@cnn.com drop this loser...

Immigrants are the best of us.

Rev. Warnock tells it like it is!

Call your senators. Some of them are not happy about selling off our national parks.

100 days. That’s how long innocent Venezuelans have been trapped in CECOT—a cruel & crushing prison in El Salvador. Thanks to Trump.

We cannot forget.
We cannot forgive.
Share their stories.
Shatter the silence.
Refuse to let them be erased.

what federal agents did to a father of three Marines while he was cutting grass in Orange County on Sunday has happened in some form daily — and deliberately — all over Los Angeles for 18 days.

ICE detains Marine Corps veteran's wife who was still breastfeeding their baby U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers detained the wife of a Marine Corps veteran in Louisiana during a routine immigration appointment in New Orleans.

🤬 We are not deporting criminals
🤬 We are not more safe

I don't understand how they could be 9-0 for due process in the AEA case, but not here. Also, unclean hands! Just... evil.

I didn’t have the Supreme Court destroying the authority of federal district courts on my bingo card. But in retrospect that’s perhaps where all this shadow docket decision-making was going all along.

Really scary stuff.

This is an absolutely inhumane ruling. Deporting people without due process to places they don’t know—have never known—is a new low. It’s appalling, but for an administration whose immigration policy is fundamentally rooted in cruelty, it’s not shocking.

Thank Mike Lee for this abomination. Buried in the Senate’s bill: a mandate to sell 2–3 million acres in 11 states in just 5 years. Only Montana gets a pass. Why? Political favoritism. Public lands shouldn’t be auctioned to the highest bidder.

“family members identified the victim as Narciso Barranco, a father to three sons who are all U.S. Marines”

A Dem lawmaker and her husband were killed by a guy for their political views and it’s already out of the news.

Note to media:
“Trump says” is not a story. He says A LOT. He lies a lot. Do some sifting, discerning, contextualizing. Otherwise it’s just stenography. And you’re embarrassing yourselves.

Iran’s stockpile dropped to 0 after Obama made the Iran Deal… until Trump pulled out of it (against the advice of his own Defense Secretary, General Mattis… because he hated Obama)

Feels pretty relevant in this moment.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

As GOP pushes spending cuts, many say Medicaid and food stamps are underfunded: AP-NORC poll A new poll shows most U.S. adults don’t think the government is overspending on the programs Republicans in Congress have focused on cutting, like Medicaid and food stamps.

As Republican senators consider President Donald Trump’s big bill that could slash federal spending and extend tax cuts, a new survey shows most U.S. adults don’t think the government is overspending on the programs the GOP has focused on cutting, like Medicaid and food stamps.

Yesterday, 11,000,000+ Americans turned out at 2,000+ rallies & marches from coast-to-coast, in all fifty states, to say #NoKings and stand up to autocratic Trump and his radical extremist cronies

It was the biggest anti-Trump protest in history

The movement is growing y'all!

Thank you to all of our service members and veterans. We appreciate you, your families, and your sacrifices for our country. Wish we were spending millions on you instead of a parade.

Barack Obama and his quote: "I don't know what happened to our culture...I don't know when we began to celebrate bullies instead of looking out for people who care for other people. When did that happen?"

Barack Obama and Bruce Springsteen leaning on a classic car and wearing sunglasses. The very picture of "cool".

Barack Obama signing the Veterans Choice Act into law in 2014.

Really looking forward to celebrating Barack Obama Day, June 14!

Your safety matters to us. We see you as family, and we care a lot. Even when attacked, or forced to witness their darkness, remember: there is strength in discipline and power in restraint. America is watching and hearts are changing.

THIS.
