It should be a much bigger story that Kash Patel ordered FBI agents to stop documenting the blood spatter and bullet holes in Renee Good’s car because it would be bad for Trump.

These ICE agents are, clearly, lawless sociopaths—being enabled by a phalanx of congenital liars in the Trump administration.

If this was the American Revolution, the U.S. Government would be the Red Coats.

And the idea that there’s some kind of deep-pocket mastermind behind half the country being insanely pissed off is laughable and dangerous. We can be disgusted with GOP policies all on our own.

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

Think the GOP's shutdown-driven health care crisis won't affect you? Think again.

If Republicans don't reverse course, average enrollee premiums on California's Health Insurance Exchange are set to skyrocket come January.

I agree but I also feel like certain communities are seeing much more extreme threats than the general population. I don’t know if MAGA will be able to successfully ‘other’ democrats, but they are trying, and with historically oppressed groups (brown, black, LGBTQ+, women) they’re succeeding.

I don't think it's an accident that 'Republican' is capitalized.

It seems like a transparent case of 'if you say it enough, some people will start to believe it (or at least think maybe it's true). It's a classic propaganda technique.

This MAGA assault on working and middle-class Americans will reverberate for years, if not decades. As dire as that reality is, however, the monstrous legislation also could provide the unity and solidarity Democrats will need to regain power, remove the source of suffering, and reform our democracy

Vice President Harris and Douglas Emhoff watch fireworks at the White House on July 4, 2024.

This Fourth of July, I am taking a moment to reflect. Things are hard right now. They are probably going to get worse before they get better.

But I love our country — and when you love something, you fight for it. Together, we will continue to fight for the ideals of our nation.

Weird priorities. President Trump is illegally withholding $7 billion Congress appropriated for afterschool and summer programs, teacher training and other educational needs. Meanwhile, he’s demanding a trillion in tax breaks for the 1%.

That's not what the American people want.

New York Times: Senate Republicans Reprise Push to Pay for Tax Cuts by Slashing Food Stamps

How grotesque.

The Republican reconciliation bill cuts nutrition programs for hungry kids in order to give tax breaks to billionaires.

Good luck to my Republican colleagues in explaining the morality of that to their constituents.

White House will end protections for Haitians, citing improved conditions. Migrants in Massachusetts are afraid. - The Boston Globe The announcement from the Department of Homeland Security cited improving conditions on the impoverished island, despite a humanitarian crisis of gang violence and political instability.

The Trump Admin just decided to send thousands of innocent people who have been living and working here legally into imminent danger in Haiti.

Trump will tear apart families, rip up communities, and leave businesses and nursing homes short handed.

And no one will be safer.

Well, towns all around me in Vermont looked alot like that in July ‘23 and ‘24. Becoming a built-in part of our reality up here. Ten years ago, it barely got above 90 where we live, maybe for a day or two here and there. Now it’s pretty routine

One of the proudest moments of my presidency was making Juneteenth a federal holiday.  It’s a day of liberation.  It’s a day of remembrance.  And it’s a day of celebration.  Today, it was N”an honor to be in Galveston where freedom rang out 160 years ago.
