Trump can spend all day lying about how great the economy is under him, but Americans are telling the truth about the reality they are facing each day.

When Americans are making videos about a can of coffee, you know #Trumpflation is real, and so is their struggle to make ends meet.

We stand with the survivors of Epstein and Maxwell's vile crimes.

We commend republicans who seem to have found their spine and are supporting the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

We join the victims in demanding that the Trump administration release the unreacted files.

Massie: "The Speaker of the House just offered a fig leaf to my colleagues. They're gonna vote on a non-binding resolution today that does absolutely nothing ... they're allowing the DOJ to curate all of the information that the DOJ is giving them ... the perpetrators are being protected"

On this #LaborDay, we honor unions and all workers, including immigrants, women, and minority communities, who have helped build this country.

We see you and know this nation wouldn't be what it is without you!

This #LaborDay, let’s remember that immigrants make up 20% of the workforce.

If 20% of the workforce were deported, the country's GDP would decrease by 12% (-3 trillion).

Hurting immigrants doesn't only hurt them. It hurts America.

Is weakening America worth owning the libs?

We are appalled by the lack of humanity of the current administration and DeSantis towards our immigrant communities.

We call for the barbaric treatment of the Evergaldes detainees to cease, and we hope to see investigations into these abusive practices once responsible leadership is in power.

We couldn't be more excited to hear about Mr. Abrego García's release.

We will continue to fight for justice, our constitutional rights, and the rule of law at every turn.

We thank all who stand with us during these challenging times and trust justice will prevail, as it did today.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been released from detention and is on his way to his family in Maryland.

This is a huge win for justice and the rule of law and a reminder to the Trump administration that his lawlessness will not go unchecked.

What a joyful day for the Hispanic community!

We will not allow DeSantis to gerrymander our State to stop us from exercising our right to vote.

Former employee of the Everglades internment camp, AKA Alligator Alcatraz, speaks about the sub-human conditions under which detainees are being held.

Let's be clear: This isn’t justice. It’s cruelty for profit.

Shame on all who support these actions against ANY community!

Orange commissioners Wilson and Semrad defied DeSantis. Will he oust them?

The two dissented from their board’s 5-2 vote to support an amended pact with ICE. In advance, Gov. DeSantis and AG Uthmeier had threatened the entire board with removal if it failed to back …

One of the bluest parts of FL was forced to ratify the Desantis ICE agreement or face replacement. Intimidation and threats. That’s how FL is governing with elected officials. The community begged for this to not be passed. #onyourside

Fearing DeSantis’ wrath, Orange board ratifies ICE agreement

The governor threatened to remove officials who didn’t make their “best effort” to support the immigration agency, as state law requires.

Shift in number of people flying to and through south FL. Is it the economy softening? The immigration policy causing people to boycott FL or a combination of those or something else? Whatever it is, it’s significant.

Keep Them Honest continues to join the fight against those who have betrayed our immigrant communities.

Sons of immigrants Rubio, Díaz-Balart (FL-26), and Cuban immigrant Giménez (FL-28) have forgotten where they come from, and their inaction speaks volumes.

Political acrobat, Giménez (FL-26) went from Americans are "over the Epstein case" to
"people are more worried about the economy" to saying it was all an Obama conspiracy to kneecap Trump in 2016.

We have news for you:
Americans care about minors being raped, and you are a hypocritical sleazebag.

Keeping Them Honest continues to join us in calling out the MAGA Republicans.

Díaz-Balart (FL-26) says he has been to the Everglades internment camp that sits in his district and remains complicit in the betrayal of the immigrants his own family once sought to protect.

Shame on him.
