The HUD website… 😔 yes, it’s a violation of the law.

All I can do is continue to feel disgust for this administration. On the HUD website, while there are literally 2 republicans attempting to stop a government shutdown down, vs every single democrat.

Wow, setting an even more dangerous precedent. A federal grand jury returned an indictment against former FBI Director James B. Comey, marking the latest escalation of President Trump’s push for payback over the bureau’s 2016 probe into his campaign’s possible ties to Russia.

We have people in power making broad claims around certain drugs and autism that have been continuously disproven.

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Autism is not a scare story: What parents need to know about medications in pregnancy, genetic risk and misleading headlines Recent reports about medication use in pregnancy may sound distressing, but reducing complex science to alarming headlines does more harm than good.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

We can't allow ourselves to become numb to mass shootings. What happened today in Minneapolis is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I are praying for the parents who have lost a child or will be sitting at their hospital bedside after yet another act of unspeakable, unnecessary violence.

Florida bans "The Diary of Anne Frank" in school libraries. Whoever made this decision should have to eat every page of that amazing book, page by page.

Screenshot of two AP News article notifications. The top reads “Immigration: The state department is proposing requiring applicants for business and tourist visa to post a bond of up to $15,000 to enter the US.” While the second reads “AP-NORC poll: A majority of US adults are stressed about grocery costs and many are using “buy now, pay later” services.”

MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk blames DEI for Texas flood death toll ‘It’s not just incompetence. This is DEI working to undermine meritocratic institutions,’ Kirk says

Wtf! MAGA, smh, it looks like they’re reverting to the same old tactics: first, they blamed plane crashes on DEI hires.

When a government starts targeting former intelligence officials, law enforcement leaders, and anyone who once investigated or criticized those in power, it’s not just a red flag, it’s a page straight from the authoritarian playbook.

Save this image. You'll need it.

And... they misspelled "AUSCHWITZ."

Now I know why the GOP party color is red—to go with all the blood on their hands.

A mural of the Statue of Liberty covering her eyes in shame was created by Dutch artist Judith de Leeuw. It is in a high population area of immigrants in France…!!!
She said ‘The values that the statue once stood for - freedom hope, the right to be yourself - have been lost for many’…!!!

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.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

The U.S. Senate is currently considering a budget reconciliation bill that quietly includes language that could devastate our public lands. It would:
- Make over 250 million acres of public land eligible for sale
- Mandate the sale of at least 2 million acres of Forest Service and BLM land

What’s crazy is you can look at the syntax in older tweets like this and compare it to his current ones and visually see his mental deterioration

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered.

Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again.

Their inaction is deadly.

97% of extremist-related murders in the U.S. in 2024 were linked to right-wing extremists. It’s not a political movement anymore - it’s a hobby for failed men with too much testosterone and not enough brain cells.

We’ve uncovered fraud, waste, and abuse! ICE has now exceeded its congressionally approved budget. ICE is violating the Antideficiency Act by spending beyond Congressional authorization.

Investigations are now underway into officers and ICE agents who fired crowd-control munitions at dangerously close range. In case after case, the situation only escalated when force was used against peaceful protesters.
