Issues I tend to focus on: economy, civil rights, healthcare, housing, immigration, foreign policy, climate change.

Honestly, things in Ukraine are so bad right now that I’m just drifting through the days like a ghost, waiting for things to get even a little better so I don’t completely lose it.

A group of Epstein survivors just formally demanded that the DOJ Inspector General open an investigation into how the heavily redacted Epstein files were released. They’re demanding action now to release the files and we stand with them.

There is a crisis of impunity. The Musk/Grok stuff is just one f many examples of people who are counting on there never being any consequences. And it all makes me just incandescently mad.

A few months ago, ICE hired me

I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable

And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

You’ve Heard About Who ICE Is Recruiting. The Truth Is Far Worse. I’m the Proof.
What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We're all finding out.

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

Republicans like Mike Turner talk about how angry they are with Trump's actions—Turner said last month, "You can’t be America first and pro-Russia"—but it doesn't matter much when they keep seeking reelection in competitive seats and voting Trump's way most of the time.

My name is Mary Peltola, and I'm running for U.S. Senate to fight for fish, family, and freedom – and that begins with fixing the rigged system in DC that’s shutting down Alaska.

We need systemic change if we're going to lower costs, save our fisheries, and fill our homes with abundance again.

I know votes on legislative packages often involve cross-cutting considerations, and members of Congress will have to weigh those. But if I were a member of Congress, I don’t believe I could vote for any appropriation bill that funded DHS without requiring changes in ICE and CBP practices.

IDK if anyone here is still on Twitter, but if you are, this tweet seems worth retweeting.

JD Vance got called out for psychotically lying about the Renee Good shooting and claiming shots were only fired through the front of the vehicle.

Someone ought to start keeping a whip list of representatives calling for Noem's impeachment—this is at least the third one I've seen so far today. (I'd do so myself but I'm about to head out of town.) This one could have legs.
This cannot stand. Which is why we will be joining Rep. Robin Kelly to file articles of impeachment against Secretary Noem in the coming days.
