She really just said why are you talking about the mass coverup of child rape when you should be talking about money

Democrats can now attempt to force votes to roll back Trump's tariffs on Colorado's #1 (Canada) and #3 import market (Mexico)
This rule just FAILED 214-217. Republican leaders delayed the vote by hours and held it open for an extended time — to no avail. Don Bacon, Kevin Kiley and Thomas Massie voted no, with all Democrats.
The "rule" on the floor today contains this section. Essentially Speaker Johnson is asking the House to vote to prohibit itself from voting on revoking Trump's tariffs through at least July. An extension of what Republicans have previously acceded to. Unclear it'll pass again.

Foreign tourism to the U.S. fell 5.4% in 2025 while the rest of the world saw a 4% increase.

Canadian visits dropped nearly 30%. buff.ly/MSynHSJ
Will a ‘Trump slump’ continue to hit US tourism in 2026 − and even keep World Cup fans away?
Talk of boycotts have added to fears among the US tourism industry that foreign tourists will continue to stay away.

How is it possible that anything about the funding fight does not include at the absolute minimum releasing every child from these concentration camps?
1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

When he gave the Grammy to that young boy who made everyone think of Liam…even if that wasn’t actually Liam, it was just the perfect way of cutting through all the bullshit.

Every kid impacted by this administration’s cruelty is another Liam.

The US deficit is approaching ww2 levels as a percent of GDP.

Because of the “Big Beautiful Bill” that GOP voted for.

We are spending more on INTEREST than on anything else including the military.

This is a time bomb, and the GOP is responsible. Fiscal conservative my ass

Great message.
Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

This is a remarkable @nytimes.com split screen:

A huge 3,526 word + photos profile on Sen Britt who "can't stop thinking about the boy ICE detained"

But Rep Jaoquin Castro- who actually got Liam Ramos out of detention & back home- gets no interview, no pix, just 116 words inside a story. WOW.

A first step, sure. But there’s usually only 150 in the entire state. This drawdown means there will still be around 2,300 (15x the normal amount) unaccountable federal agents roaming our streets.

Dear Dems, as you draft your rein in ICE legislation there must be language that addresses the detention centers - both their inhumanity, and their dangerous expansion. This is critical.

From Hopium:
- New polling finds Democrats starting this fight to rein in ICE with the American people firmly behind them
- As Dems plan their strategy more attention needs to be on the detention centers - their inhumanity, and unnecessary expansion

All my charges have been dropped! When I tried to shut down a concentration camp, it was because Jesus was being tortured at #Broadview. I never did anything wrong, and the three charges were never going to prevail. The fight continues for all charges to be dropped for people doing the right thing!
