Besides the measles outbreak in a vulnerable setting, the saddest thing here is that there exists "An ICE facility for Children"
Let that sink in.
No child belongs in a detention facility. None.
There is no justification for this cruelty on children.

Swalwell: The guy said he would cut prices, and instead he’s killing people—and I’m not signing off on that.

Amazon has yanked Malaria: The Musical from an Oregon movie theater.
This came after the theater’s marquee promoted it with lines including, “Does Melania wear Prada? Find out Friday!” and, quoting Sun Tzu, “To defeat your enemy, you must know them. Melania.”

Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third.
All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Another anemic defense of the indefensible. Regrettably unsurprising. Never fails to disappoint.
Ask the married women in your district who took their husband's last name how they feel about this given that many are about to be disenfranchised.
🧵 There are a lot of misleading claims out there about the SAVE Act. Let me set the record straight: I voted for the SAVE Act for the simple reason that American elections are for Americans. Requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote is common sense.

Yes, where are our reps?
there were multiple reporters outside of the institute of museum and library services today as DOGE invaded their headquarters, but not a single elected official.
something to consider when thinking about who’s actually defending democracy.

. @RepMattHall & Michigan House Republicans just endorsed a $7 BILLION gut punch to our kids’ education.
Because that is how much they and the Trump administration gutted just this month from MI Public schools.
MAGA doesn’t want to fix public schools—they want to burn them down.

I’m amazed how little coverage this story has gotten. They’ve burned well over $16 million to briefly hold 290 immigrants and several photo ops to GITMO. Just a total train wreck and they didn’t even mention it officially. Check out my latest.
