I’m basically an introvert and been told I have a dry sense of humor. Love dogs. I crochet in my spare time. I don’t call people names and expect the same courtesy.

Today’s inflation data shows that prices are rising at their fastest pace since January.

Food inflation in particular is hitting Americans hard.

Could this be one reason why?

But at least the billionaires will get their massive tax cuts. That IS the only thing that matters, right?

A reminder: This is what America looks like without a legislative branch.

But sure, more tax cuts for billionaires.

I remember what it meant to finally leave the hospital—the relief mixed with uncertainty about what comes next. I’m so grateful Sophia has reached this milestone and I’m praying for her and her family as they continue their recovery journey.

Sending so much love your way, Sophia ♥️

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics.

It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history.

It corrupts our political system every day.

Federal workers aren't being paid because Republicans want to give their billionaires a tax cut.

Meanwhile, Trump is building a $300 million dollar ballroom paid for with bribes that he'll use to fish for more bribes.

The GOP works for their donors, not the American people.

This isn’t about me. It’s about all of us.

It’s about a justice system which has been weaponized. A justice system which has been used as a tool of revenge.

My faith is strong. I have belief in the justice system and the rule of law.

Former first lady Betty Ford said of the East Wing, which Trump promised not to touch but now appears to be demolishing for his oh-so-Trumpian ballroom:
"If the West Wing is the mind of the nation, then the East Wing is the heart."

Wages have declined, goods have become less durable, and literally everything has gotten more expensive for one reason: the bosses have decided to charge more, pay less, and keep as much money as they possibly can to themselves. Even regulation isn't much of a burden. This all happened on purpose.

This is insane. Where is the Republican Congress?
ICE murdered a family’s dog & lied about it.
Agents raided a home on a bad tip, shot a dog named Chop, & let him bleed out while they hid. DHS covered it up. Congress stayed silent.
This is what happens when no one’s watching the watchers. I’m done with the silence.

Joel Camas is a 16 yr-old NYC high-school junior in the Bronx. He loves soccer & pepperoni pizza.

Yesterday morning, his lawyer and I accompanied him to an ICE check-in. He has Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) — it should have been fine.

But it was not.💔 [thread]

ICE detained him. Despite the fact he has Special Immigrant Juvenile Status. That he’s a model student. That he showed up for his check-in. That he’s 16.

He may be the first unaccompanied minor detained by Trump this term.

His lawyer, the indomitable Beth Baltimore from The Door, just filed a habeas petition with @nyclu.org. I pray it works, and soon. He was eager to get back to class.

But Bronx HS student Dylan Contreras is still in ICE detention, after he was taken back in May.

Tricia McLaughlin, a DHS spokeswoman, said ICE is not targeting kids. But as so often, she is lying.

“For years, conservatives loudly complained that government spending was opaque, that their hard-earned dollars were being secretly misused, and that the government definitely did not need all the money it was taking from them.

That was always hyperbole … until now.”

From the people that pretend to be Christian, they hit a clergyman directly while protesting.

They’ve gone from attacking marginalized communities to attacking the community in general. Now they are openly attacking religious institutions.
