Only the military remains outside Trump’s grip. Despite the firing of several top officers—and his threat to fire more—the U.S. armed forces are still led by generals and admirals whose oath is to the Constitution, not the president. But for how long?

The one good thing about this “run America like a business” nightmare is that more people are beginning to realize how corrupt and craven many businesses truly are.

Take notes.

Never forget how they abandoned us.

Don’t forgive their complicity.

We can fight for immigrants AND for public safety. My district is proof: 40% born outside the U.S., and one of the wealthiest, safest in America. Voters want a secure border and safe communities—Democrats must deliver both.

One floor below me, the rocket hit. He did not survive.
Two decades of memories his family never got. That’s the cost we live with. I hope that someday soon, we’ll have leaders in the highest office who serve the people--not themselves. This Memorial Day, remember the ones who never made it home.🇺🇸
A Memorial Day for the Ones We Never Stop Missing
In memory of those who serve, and the leadership we still need.

On the two year anniversary of the historic Dobb's Decision, guest Ryan Hamilton shares the experience he and his wife had which Republicans continue to claim doesn't exist: abortion laws endagering the life of a mother. Talking with host Rick Wilson, Ryan relays the harrowing experience of he and his wife losing their baby and the life-threatening circumstances they had to endure in the aftermath as a result of archaic laws in Texas.

Pretty sure that this is the first time a “One First” post has been cited in a judicial opinion—here, in Judge Thacker’s concurrence in the Fourth Circuit’s denial of the government’s stay request in Abrego García:

It's clear that the Trump administration denied due process to the migrants it banished to El Salvador *precisely because* any measure of judicial oversight would've proved their innocence immediately.
