AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

President Trump had said he will send troops to Portland to protect U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities, which he said were "under attack."

Todd Blanche absolutely has a prohibitive conflict of interest acting as a lawyer for the United States of America and talking to Ghislaine Maxwell. Donald Trump is a very recent criminal defense client. The interests of Donald Trump and the United States are in conflict in questioning Maxwell./1
Whitehouse: "Let me mention first just how very bizarre it is that the Deputy AG is going out to do a witness interview. It really raises the question whether he's doing that in the role as Deputy AG, or if he's stepping back into his role as Trump criminal defense lawyer."

Last night, Hillsborough County Public Schools held its first school board meeting since letters from state officials ordered books off shelves.
Two parents made particularly poignant statements that must be heard.

Wow. Avelo airlines has covered up their logo to hide the fact that they're helping with mass deportation. Avelo's customer service number is (346) 616-9500. Feel free to give them a call and tell them how you feel about them.
😲 Guys, Avelo painted their ICE jets all white! The tail number matches. How pathetic is that? 👀

Alcatraz brings in between $20 million and $34 million a year in tourism revenue for the National Park Service alone.
The cost to renovate Alcatraz could be as high as $350 million to house 300 prisoners.
In 1959, it cost over 3x more to house inmates there vs. another prison...

So Trump, you want to deport “homegrown” criminals? Only one of you has 34 felony convictions, was found liable for sexual assault, impeached 2x, and is actively tearing this country apart.
Look in the mirror,it’s you.
Not sure you’d survive a gulag-you dodged military service because of bone spurs!

The top 7 donors gave over $1bil to Trump. This is how an oligarchy entrenches itself in a democracy.
![The image is a chart titled "Top Donors in 2024 Election," showing contributions to campaign committees and independent groups.

Four legal setbacks for the Trump Administration from yesterday.
1. Voice of America: A federal judge issued a restraining order to stop further efforts to silence VOA journalists, pushing back on Trump’s attempts to control U.S.-funded international media.

I’m so tired of hearing Rubio & other rightwingers now claiming that if you’re on a green card you’re a ‘guest’ in this country. BS. You’re a lawful permanent resident. The clue is in the name. If someone is a permanent resident in your home, are they the same as the guests who come and go? Come on.
