Their families say they were fishermen and farm workers simply returning home.

While the billionaire class gets obscenely richer, two-thirds of Americans say a middle-class lifestyle is out of reach , and a majority can’t afford decent education, housing or a secure retirement.
In the richest country on Earth, we can, and must, do better.

SHUT THE GOVERNMENT DOWN!
Do not fund the government until a full investigation is performed for Renee Good and Alex Pretti. The agents responsible for their execution must be removed from duty and put on trial.
The American people demand accountability and an end to ICE & DHS brutality!!!

I stand in solidarity with the more than 31,000 Kaiser nurses and health care workers on strike in California and Hawaii.
It’s well past time for Kaiser to return to the table with a fair offer for their workers that includes safer staffing ratios and higher wages.

Apparently Americans need to be reminded yet again that we have never suspended elections during a war. Lincoln was reelected during the Civil War (a large part of why we have absentee voting), FDR during WW2. It's never been true, and scaring folks with untrue things makes you not a good person.

Half way through the Jack Smith transcript and it’s become abundantly clear why Jim Jordan didn’t want public testimony. Jordan spends a lot of time whining about the toll subpoenas, and Jack Smith shuts him down every time.

Question: But the president’s statements that he believed the election was rife with fraud—those are statements protected by the First Amendment, correct?
Smith: Absolutely not. If they are made to target a lawful government function and are made with knowing falsity, then no, they are not.

He let loose almost 200 unhinged posts on Christmas Day.
You’d think someone would have wrestled his phone away after 20, 40 or even a hundred posts.
They know he’s too far gone.
They also know he won’t escape the Epstein fallout.
