Guys, it's the oligarchs. If you want to blame someone for 2024, blame the oligarchs. Anyone telling you to blame someone else is part of the oligarchy. Dark money has been to blame since citizens united.

Quick point. Congress can use the spending fight in September (remember Chuck Schumer surrendered till then) to prevent a single dollar from being used to house prisoners in El Salvador.

A week after my remarks on the Senate floor I am more energized then ever to continue to fight for Americans on Medicaid, Americans worried about Social Security, Americans looking for opportunity in their local economy.

As the nation celebrates National Library Week, we filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration's attempt to defund libraries across America, taking away vital resources from millions of people.

Q: 60 Minutes found 75% of the migrants who were sent to El Salvador do not have criminal records. That true?

BONDI: They're not Venezuelan migrants. They're illegal aliens from Venezuela who should not have been in our country


Q: So you're confirming they didn't commit a crime?

BONDI: *leaves*

Sotomayor is right. According to this Supreme Court, the US can now kidnap, detain, and fly legal immigrants and citizens to a foreign country's prison, even if it's a whoopsie.

America, people. Freedom and stuff.

Fear has a way of being contagious.

But courage is also contagious.

Allison Riggs: 'This is a fight for the very soul of democracy' Read more here.

β€œThis does not just affect North Carolina,” Riggs said. β€œThis is like dropping a match in a really dry forest. And if we let this kind of anti-democratic effort take hold, we will not be able to contain it. So this is a fight for the very soul of democracy. Today’s decision was deeply misinformed.”

If folks had voted for the Black lady who wanted to tax the rich and give everyone else a tax cut, we wouldn’t be having this problem.
