Flip both houses of Congress so we can defund ICE please.
New: We got an internal ICE document revealing its $100 million ad plan to bring in 14,000 new hires: deals with "tactical" influencers; ads to gun & military buffs; and geo-targeting phones around NASCAR races and gun shows.

I hope Congress acts asap to make this guidance ultimately unnecessary, but until then, offering some guidance and tips if you or a loved one’s care access is being impacted due to federal inaction.

They’re absolutely trying to suppress the vote. That’s been their goal for decades now. People like @marcelias.bsky.social are doing fantastic work in court to protect our freedoms.

It’s up to us to help them - we have to make these midterms too big to rig and get them some help in DC.

Kevin Drum was the first journalist to really get into the ties between lead and crime rates (not just serial killers) and I think it is one of the most important articles we’ve ever done www.motherjones.com/environment/...

It's no longer left versus right or even Democrat versus Republican.

It’s now democracy versus oligarchy. Freedom versus dictatorship. Right versus wrong.

Millions are awakening to this new reality — and they're speaking up.

The sleeping giant of America is roaring.

Fair warning:

If you don’t want to see a LOT of get out the vote content this year, I’m probably not a good person to follow.

My goal for 2026 is to help hand the GOP the largest midterm loss in history.

We’re going to make 2018 look like a small trickle.

‼️Trump was ‘most culpable’ for Jan 6 riot and would have been convicted in court, Jack Smith told Congress in newly released testimony.

Jack Smith: ‘During the attack, Trump "refused to stop it," intervening only after repeated pressure from members of his staff.’

The President of the United States is a criminal.

Thank you for your service, Jack Smith.

“The attack that happened at the Capitol … does not happen without him. The other co-conspirators were doing this for his benefit”

This Jack Smith deposition makes one thing abundantly clear:

If Donald Trump wasn’t re-elected, he’d be spending the rest of his life in prison.

And he should be.

A Spanish investigation has concluded that the Russian cargo ship Ursa Major, which sank off the coast of Cartagena in December 2024, was carrying two VM-4SG nuclear reactor hulls intended for North Korea. The ship may have been sunk by Russia to hide the evidence.

On a day when the Kennedy family is grappling with an unimaginable personal loss, Donald Trump chose to use his platform to launch petty, vindictive attacks against them. Yet another stunning display of cruelty and utter lack of basic human decency.

Zelenskyy calls Russia’s claim of a strike on one of Putin’s residences a “complete fabrication,” a lie designed to sabotage diplomacy, justify more attacks on Kyiv, and excuse Moscow’s refusal to end the war. He warns the world must not stay silent as Russia tries to derail peace.

The war in Ukraine is a rare and striking example of good versus evil.

Few people realize that, although Ukraine has roughly 2-3 times fewer military casualties than Russia, it suffers 20-30 times more civilian casualties.

Russia targets civilians, while Ukraine does not

Trump, who didn’t spend a minute behind bars, is about to swindle about 50 percent more than the total amount of money paid to the 97 innocent people who were incarcerated for more than 1,200 years in Texas.
