Every news broadcast should run the facts split-screen in real time while Trump spews his lies.

Nice work, @msnbc.com β€” every network had time to prepare because they knew what was coming.

DC statehood is now an imperative. No more dicking around. Next Dem majority, get it done immediately.

He Came to the U.S. to Support His Sick Child. He Was Detained. Then He Disappeared. Like most of the more than 230 Venezuelan men deported to a Salvadoran prison, JosΓ© Manuel Ramos Bastidas had followed U.S. immigration rules. Then Trump rewrote them.

Calling from a Texas detention center, JosΓ© Manuel Ramos Bastidas told his wife to hit record:

β€œThey detained me simply because of my tattoos. I am not a criminal.”

β€œJust in case something happens to me, so you can be aware.”

A month later, he was gone.

This is a white supremacist purge, leading to a genocide. If you're a Republican at this point, you're subhuman trash.

The President and his party are trying to steal the 2026 midterms to consolidate power. I don't say this lightly. Here are just some of the ways they are trying to undermine our democratic process:

-Demanding access to the voter files in at least 9 states, including Wisconsin

Friendly reminder that school administrators tend to take complaints from parents much more seriously than the same complaints from teachers. So if your kids’ school district is using PragerU stuff, please speak up.

As the piece notes, the PragerU propaganda is being used in schools in Louisiana, Florida, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, Montana, Arizona, South Carolina and Idaho.

Check with your district to see if they're using this garbage to brainwash your kids.

Remember when Vice President Harris bought a few quality cooking items at a French cookery store with her own money and legacy media melted down?

J.D. Vance literally used the Army Corps of Engineers to manipulate a public waterway, so he’d have an easier time kayaking and it’s a blip on the radar.

A little math about that prison camp in Florida. $450 million per year for 3,000 people is $150,000/person per year.
The cost for one person receiving SNAP for one year is $2256, yet they're telling us that's too expensive.
