Run, HAWLEY Run…
Trump pressured five Republican senators who joined with Democrats to advance the resolution last week and ultimately prevailed in heading off passage of the legislation. Two of the Republicans — Sens. Josh Hawley of Missouri and Todd Young of Indiana — flipped under the pressure.

This man knows no truth… Marathon record times are 2 hours for men and 2 hours-10 minutes for women.
Trump's economic speech in Michigan: "How about the swimming records? I mean you could go to sleep during the time the man comes in and the woman. You could go take a nap for a little while. How about the long distance record that took place not so long ago?"

Reporter: “You promised $2,000 checks to Americans based off of your tariff revenues. When can —”

Trump: “I did do that? When did I do that?”

This video is the perfect encapsulation of the illegal, thuggish, unprovoked, violent conduct of ICE. Rep. @benniethompson.bsky.social, I trust that you and the House Homeland Security Committee will have interest in this.

This is racism not religious freedom.
This isn't the easiest time to be Jewish in America. But now—and for a long time—it's been significantly harder to be Muslim.

Barring Jews from government was one of the Nazis' signature moves. Every American Jew has an obligation to speak out against the new Nazis trying to do the same to Muslims.
Laura Loomer pitches banning Muslims from running for office to members of Congress
Far-right influencer Laura Loomer has had an unusual amount of power over staffing and foreign policy decisions in the current Trump administration. Now, she is promoting anti-Muslim bills and pressur...

They use govt accounts, employees & resources to make partisan political messages.

They make partisan political speeches attacking the opposition party to troops routinely.

They get pardoned when they commit crimes.

They ignore the laws.

There is zero congressional oversight.

OK, so our "Secretary of War" currently has two big priorities: (1) murdering innocent fishermen in the Caribbean, and (2) endangering the lives of commuters in Southern California.

Perhaps, we are seeing one of the downsides to having a drunk TV talk show chatterbox running our military.

Folks keep talking about the parallels between real life and The Handmaid’s Tale.

Here’s another one: they seized Washington, DC, and the seat of American power collapsed overnight into authoritarian rule.

Texas hasn't received FEMA aid yet. The callous disregard from officials is shocking. I hope Texans remember this in 2026. Ultimately, it seems the priority is enriching the wealthy using funds collected from struggling individuals.

The owner of a 125 acre Oregon cherry orchard will lose $300,000 plus this season. His cherries are shrivel like big black raisins, still on the trees…because ICE wiped out over half of his work force….and he couldn’t get them picked. The stupidest MF’r in America…is president.

Trump needs to grammar/spell check posts before he hits send. Trump’s attitude is Ready, Shoot, Aim.
Nope, still not distracted. Release the Epstein files.

TACO Trump has said that gas is already less than $2/gallon. Now he is stepping back on his promises.
Trump: "Gasoline is down, it's gonna soon be less than $2 a gallon."

Where is the Daniel Berrigan of our time? The Epstein files have been seen by many people who are choosing to protect a rapist instead of holding him accountable. In this instance, as so often throughout history, women are being thrown under the bus and everyone watches as it rolls over them.

For a small fraction of the hundreds of billions of dollars being used for a private army and a network of private concentration camps, we could have simplified and sped up the process and successfully deported the 10k or so actual criminal aliens.
But NOOoo...we have to be dicks.

25 years ago today, I checked into Marine Corps Officer Candidate School in Quantico.

The values I signed up to defend then – our freedoms and our democracy – are under assault again.

I'm running to be the first female Marine in Congress – because the work isn't finished.

I am enraged by Tim Homan's threat of sending in the Marines to take over "sanctuary cities" that won't cooperate with ICE. Who gave him the authority to use our USMC as a weapon against citizens? We must have names! What's in writing? At what point is it criminal? Fascism must die in its crib!

Today, our hearts are heavy.

We grieve for every soldier now facing the unknown.

For every young person pulled from their home and forced into a war they didn’t choose.

For the military families waking up in fear, uncertain what tomorrow holds.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.
