Sen. Elissa Slotkin on Letitia James being indicted: "It's part of a bigger trend of the President of the United States using the Department of Justice, using the legal system, to go after political adversaries."

Is there a better indication of how superficial and unhelpful mainstream media has become than that they are cutely musing about whether the domestic terrorist who changed "The Department of Defense" to "The Department of War" will get a Nobel Peace Prize—instead of reporting the fascism/terrorism.

Last night, I received notification of the 19th death of a detained person in ICE custody since Trump took office.

ICE is detaining people, mostly in private, for-profit prisons that put profit over health. And now they have furloughed the safety inspectors. This is unacceptable.

I applaud @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social for standing up to fight for health care and it's embarrassing how the other side of the aisle behaves sometimes.

Johnson and Lauer are stalling.

If Grijalva isn’t sworn in, it gives them time to pressure one of the 4 Republicans who signed the discharge petition to flip.

The reason they’re working this hard to shield the Epstein files is because Trump’s name is all over them.

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command.

The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other states—and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into another—is extremely dangerous.

Only one political party is actually expressing any empathy and concern on the way this shutdown is immediately impacting tens of millions of patients nationwide.

The tragic irony is most of these patients live in states that support the current party in power. That party remains silent.
