$413,000 per bed. Insanity.

While they cut health care, food assistance, etc.

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little."

—FDR, 1937

ICE is just Proud Boy domestic terrorists equipped and deputized by the lawless thug in the tacky, gilded Oval Office.

Sayre: "My background is in international humanitarian response in conflict zones in Yemen, Haiti, Syria, Iraq, and Ukraine. What I've seen here is what I've seen there. A powerful entity violently and intentionally terrorizing people."

McGovern is a little on fire here and it's good.

Trump has done enormous harm to the country.
He is a deeply corrupt and venal man.
He is wildly unpopular, his agenda more so. He's lost the consent of the governed.
He is old, infirm & clearly no longer mentally competent to run a nation.

It is time now to start talking about him moving on👇

Republicans: Some tips for ya -

➡️ Child molestation is bad. Always. Stop hiding your perps.

➡️ Shutting down a government is bad.
For workers, families, small businesses, public health (if you care about that), public services, research, our economy, our global standing, our DEMOCRACY.

In 1900, 31% of all deaths were children under the age of 5. Today it’s 0.7%. Vaccines, medications, and modern science are the reason why. Trust the science, it’s been proven to work safely and efficiently time and time again.

‘He’s just joking’ his way to autocracy Who is laughing now?

“The real power of Trump’s absurd autocratic brand lies in the cover it provides for the movement behind him. The unending preposterousness provides his allies… with plausible deniability for autocracy to take root.” @amandacarpenter.bsky.social www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/hes-just-j...

they've definitely affected my brain and I don't even use them :/

On January 6, 2021, Donald Trump refused to order the National Guard to DC when then *were* needed.

On August 11, 2025, Donald Trump orders the National Guard to DC when they are *not* needed.

Both instances are examples of Trump's disregard for law, order, decency, and democracy.

While we're all waiting for the Epstein files to be released, here's the five volume bipartisan set of the Russian interference and collusion reports.

We should probably call them the Marco Rubio files.

Treasury Department files reviewed by Senator Ron Wyden’s staff members show 4,725 wire transfers, adding up to nearly $1.1 billion, associated with just one of Mr. Epstein’s bank accounts. Follow. The. Money.

Please focus on amplifying the accounts of the Trump/Epstein victims instead of the Trump lying distractions.

Watch this space.

Rosie O’Donnell pointed out the obvious, and now Trump is trying to silence her.

3. Find a way to profit from it.

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.

To all you "Christians" gloating and laughing about the cruelty of Alligator Alcatraz:

Jesus would like a word.

And then a ferocious slap.

Just heard Bill Kristol, former chief of staff for Dan Quayle, say he thinks ICE should be defunded and that the entire DHS should probably be disbanded, which puts him to the left of maybe the majority of elected Democrats. Truly wild times we’re living in.

Trump lied.

He said he was going after the “worst of the worst” — but instead he’s sending masked men after U.S. citizens, kidnapping and disappearing people, and eliminating all of our due process rights.

Trump's election order creates much confusion before the next federal election in 2026 President Donald Trump’s sweeping executive order seeking to change how elections are run in the U.S. is creating uncertainty for state and local election officials and worries about voter confusion b...

Trump signed an executive order to blow up the 2026 election: decertifying voting machines, blocking mail ballots, demanding citizenship papers to vote. This isn’t about “election integrity”—it’s voter suppression on steroids. This is how authoritarians rig the game.

Duckworth statement on Trump’s strikes against Iran nuclear sites.

Trump bombing Iran was illegal and unjustified.

I ran for Congress to make sure our leaders consider the true costs of war.

And I will be in the Senate, standing on my titanium legs, demanding answers from Trump.

My statement:

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?

New voting restrictions are flying under the radar this year. From mail voting cuts to student ID bans, states are changing the rules ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

The at home assassination of a state lawmaker should be getting a bigger reaction from the President than someone throwing a rock at a Tesla dealership.
