What the Venezuelans Deported to El Salvador Experienced Exclusive photos of the arrival of Venezuelan detainees deported from the U.S.

β€œOne young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, β€˜I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He β€œbegan to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, β€œfolding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He β€œasked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

Pentagon Set Up Briefing for Musk on Potential War With China

Congress is useless. This Administration is dangerous. This President is compromised. There is NO reason for Musk to have this level of access across our government. Our nation will rue the day we returned power to the GOP and re-elected this menace. #thepriceofeggs

Governor Pritzker kicks off the Standing Up for Illinois tour with an agriculture roundtable.

Governor Pritzker kicks off the Standing Up for Illinois tour with an agriculture roundtable.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk have made our farmers and families collateral damage in an idiotic trade war.

They're taking money out of their pockets and food out of their mouths β€” and for what?

I'm with the hard-working folks at Sola Gratia to hear how we can support them.

Ouch. Republican Representative Tom Barrett held a tele-town hall with his constituents in his swing district in Michigan on Monday and ran a survey asking if they support DOGE.

70% of the participants said they do not.

There are 756 billionaires in the US. Tax $100 million for each one...they won't feel it a bit. The poorest among them will still have at least $900 million left.

Give that $75,600 billion to each of the 154 million US Tax Payers. That amounts to $490 per tax payer.

Call it the Oligarch dividend.

Not a word from Trump politicians who posted this misinformation on their websites and Facebook.

They got a lot of their base to use every foul permutation of vitriol to describe Democrats who didn't vote for cutting taxes on tips, social security and overtime.

Because there was no such bill!

The House just passed its budget resolution. Hoping that no one actually reads H Con. Res. 14, some Trump-aligned politicians are saying all Democrats voted against:
*Tax cuts on Social Security
*Tax cuts on overtime
*Tax cuts on tips.

You can read it yourself. No such tax cuts are in it.

Firing public servants is a Trojan Horse. Sure, everyone hates waste and inefficiency.

Consider: There were no fires in my neighborhood yesterday. Our firefighters were not actively engaged in fighting fires.

Musk: FIRE them....They aren't doing anything.

Thousands of consumer complaints unanswered after Trump CFPB purge, Dems say Since its founding, the CFPB has returned more than $21 billion to consumers who were victims of fraud or scams.

Since the Trump-Musk attack on the CFPB, every day thousands of Americans aren't getting the help they need when they're cheated by big banks or giant corporations and want their money back.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are allowing Americans to get scammed.
