RFK Jr. has a new theory on autism. He thinks circumcision could be a factor.

It confirms what many of us have suspected for a long time.

They genuinely believe their brains are in their dicks.

The malicious prosecution of Attorney General Tish James is baseless.

And the indictment is not worth the paper it is written on.

Of all the clerics they could have popped, those ICE idiots had to hit Hot Priest.

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law.

Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois.

And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.

Indicting your political enemies because they’re your enemies, not because they’ve committed crimes, is unAmerican.

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..

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Right now all that can be done is recording and keeping record. Hopefully in the future they can all be prosecuted.

First we missed out @hillaryclinton.bsky.social and now @kamalaharris.com where would we be if Kamala won? The constitution would still have meaning. Judicial orders would be followed. We would be in a democracy rather than some authoritarian hell hole.

I remember when I used to go DAYS—WEEKS EVEN—without thinking about the President of the United States because I wasn’t worried about him starting a civil or world war, making a gestapo police force, or ripping our constitution to shreds.

ICE is using your tax dollars to target children.

A child in my district was deported days before the start of the school year.

We are demanding answers on why K-12 students are being arrested and whether the Department of Education is fulfilling their obligations to students in custody.

Representatives Ocasio-Cortez, Espaillat, and Goldman lead a letter demanding transparency on ICE detention of school-aged children.

Letter signed by Representatives Ocasio-Cortez, Espaillat, Goldman, Clarke, Latimer, Meeks, Meng, Nadler, Tonko, Torres, and Velázquez.
