I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us

Laura Rodriguez, on Twitter:

A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them.

Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.

Arnold Schwarzenegger has no place lecturing Californians. He left 6 billion in cuts, classrooms gutted, and kids without care. He wasn’t a hero — he was the hatchet man for the rich. Vote Yes On Prop 50

One thing @govpritzker.illinois.gov does here, which WE ALL need to do more often, is lead with Trump's crimes.

A sex assaulted fraudster serial felon who freed HUNDREDS of cop assailants--and some terrorists--on his first day is trying to claim Democrats are criminals.

Reminder this is all happening because Republicans refuse to let you have affordable health care.

🧵 Trump is criminally invading states under false pretenses. His supporters are trying to instigate violence by dressing as antifa and committing crimes.

In this clip from Portland, Joey Gibson of "Patriot Prayer" and his fiancée, Lindsey Nichols, tried to cause trouble before being forced away.

During the GOP shutdown, the mostly for-profit, private ICE detention centers are open. The safety inspectors for them have been deemed “non-essential”.

This is already the deadliest year on record for detained people in ICE facilities.

ICE closes detention oversight group in shutdown despite surge in detainees

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s entire Office of Detention Oversight has been placed on furlough, despite surging numbers of detainees.

Trump is moving us closer to authoritarianism with each deployment of troops into states.

From Illinois to Oregon to California—

None of our states asked for this, nor need this.

I and every U.S. Senator from these states are demanding Trump to end these deployments ASAP.

Trump wants to invoke the Insurrection Act to punish anyone who opposes him, and he’s following a four point plan to do it.

Here’s what you need to know about it — and some thoughts on how to respond. www.youtube.com/shorts/31X8v...

This is Mariah. She depends on the ACA tax credit to afford her health care, while also caring full time for her brother Matt who depends on Medicaid.

Hear their story and why Democrats are fighting to protect access to quality, affordable health care.
