House Democrats must vote ‘no’ on DHS funding tomorrow. Our country is in the middle of a five alarm fire, and we must act like it.
While ICE agents are killing Americans in the street and using five year old children as bait, we should not give that agency another dime.

I'm going to non-desi friend's place for dinner so told her I don't like lamb or goat. She said ok
Whenever I say this to a desi friend, the response is always oh you haven't had my lamb/goat or you haven't had some other random lamb/goat dish. Can't accept that some people just don't like lamb/goat

Ahh the most useless senator @schumer.senate.gov pretending to be upset with Trump and ICE while doing whatever Trump wants and asks him to do. If you really care about democracy, then step down as minority leader and let someone more effective take over as the democratic leader.

Chemical weapons and weapons of war used by American government against American citizens on American soil and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social is totally fine funding ICE! No qualms at all giving in to fascism. Never have #democrats had a more useless leader than we do now!

Alex Pretti Was Killed in My Neighborhood. In the Following Hours, It Was Us Versus Ice
After they shot Alex, ICE agents unleashed their anger and weapons on us.

The #NY12 congressional forum was very well organized and moderated. @alexbores.nyc and @micahlasher.bsky.social both had great nights. @jackschlossberg.bsky.social was okay. He started off weak but ended better. He lacked specifics to a lot of the questions but was strong on his beliefs. 1/

If Maria Corina Machado thinks that giving Trump her Nobel Peace Prize will mean he'll help her then she's going to be very disappointed. Trump sees this as a weakness, extract more from her & never help her. She gave up her Peace Prize for nothing and in doing so she lost respect of a lot of people

Trump accepts Nobel Peace Prize medal from Venezuelan opposition leader Machado

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

This is exactly why the Trump Oligarchs took over CBS News. To spread total and complete lies like these. They want to promote their propaganda under the guise of news.

This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.
Jerome Powell: "This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions—or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation."

Ahh a hand-me-down Nobel Peace Price is so on brand for Trump! Tackiness all the way.
I thought Trump would never get the Nobel Peace Prize. He's about to prove me wrong!

Jeffries is an AIPAC funded puppet for millionaires. He could barely get himself to endorse @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social even AFTER he won the primary but has no problems endorsing now
Someone needs to do to @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social what @aoc.bsky.social did to Joe Crowley and send him packing!

Gov. Hochul and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries are endorsing Rep. Dan Goldman for reelection .
This puts them on a collision course with Mayor Mamdani, who's backing Brad Lander's primary challenge against Goldman. www.nydailynews.com/2026/01/06/r...

Rep. Dan Goldman scores Jeffries and Hochul endorsements in NY-10 fight
The move sets up a Titanic proxy fight with incoming Mayor Mamdani, who has backed Lander after the pair forged an alliance during Mamdani’s successful run for City Hall.

If you are a foreign president who commits crimes overseas, America will come get you, arrest you, and lock you up.
But if you are a US president who commits crimes here in the United States, America will give you immunity from prosecution, reelect you, and bribe you with billions of dollars.

So US Courts can hold foreign leaders accountable but can't hold its own president and cabinet accountable for their crimes??
So we’re just announcing foreign strikes and kidnappings of foreign leaders on social media now? No Congress. No explanation.
This is madness.

You have to go through Congress for anything resembling this type of war. Round up Massie and Paul types and have him removed. The people in this administration are on actual drugs and have insatiable bloodlust and bespoke mental illnesses. He has to go, and everybody with him.

Just woke up to find out that POTUS started an illegal war with Venezuela. The congress needs to wake up and stop this president. Power to start war with another country is with congress, not the president.

One of the best moments from @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social inauguration yesterday was when the crowd started chanting Tax the Rich
These millionaires became rich leeching off the government while paying little to nothing in taxes & contributing zilch to society. It's high time they pay their dues.
