My colleagues say they don’t want taxpayer money going to immigrants—then vote to jail them in US private prisons, handing taxpayers' money to their donors. I voted HELL NO on the Stop Illegal Entry Act.

so charlie kirk was assassinated by exactly the kind of terminally-online channer shithead he tried to foment
It was an all-out call for war against "them" when the right didn't know who "they" were, but now that it's clear that Kirk's assassin came from their world they've shifted back to meaningless "thoughts and prayers."
The Trump administration spent $167,000 to destroy $9.7 million worth of birth control and other contraceptives that were supposed to go to low-income countries. Imagine hating helping so much that you’d actually spend money just to make sure others don’t get help.
We all know 🧠RFK Jr.🪱 is a twat. But one thing we actually AGREED with him on was cleaning up the American food supply. Let's contrast what he PROMISED to do before he was confirmed, with what his most recent MAHA Strategy Report ACTUALLY SAYS 👇.
How about that.
If you have a screenshot of a US politician or leader blaming the left, or declaring some war, or anything before we knew who the shooter was, please post in the comments. We will need to keep these
it really is astonishing how quickly it goes from “civil war” and “blood in the streets” to “wow guys it’s just a sad tragedy” when it becomes inconvenient
There is no excuse for political violence in America. And no excuse for a U.S. president using a heinous killing as an occasion to treat his political opponents as accomplices to murder and threatening to use the full power of the government to attack them.
I have only ONE THING to say about this Charlie Kirk debacle: THE EPSTEIN FILES. Carry on.
The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned. And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized. I refuse to sanitize him.
AOC: Whether it is a member of congress, whether it is the President to assume and assert and cast blame when the FBI has failed to even apprehend the assailant, is absolutely an irresponsible action.
The president went on TV to attack political opponents and blame them for the killing of Charlie Kirk, even though we don’t know who shot him. If there is anything this man can do to worsen the situation, he will do it. Despicable.
violent rhetoric from the right starts all the way from the president at the top, and goes all the way down to the fringe randos. violent rhetoric from the left is confined to the fringe randos. can you spot the difference
Congress passed a bipartisan law long ago mandating that a plaque honoring the officers who defended Capitol on J6 be displayed in the building. Mike Johnson has ignored that law and refuses to do it.
Rep. Massie only needs one more House member’s signature to force a floor vote on his bipartisan legislation to release Epstein-related documents.
“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind
Lisa Murkowski is beyond pathetic.
The Trump administration announced plans to roll back protections that had reserved millions of acres of public land for conservation and recreation.
Charlie Kirk is wrong; it's 100% not worth it.
"Don't make this political." It's always been political. Our hearts go out to the students and families at Evergreen High School and the Kirk family. Gun violence is far to prevelent in our society. We will continue to fight for real solutions against violence. Even one death is too much.
We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.
Political violence from any party or any ideology is a direct assault on the foundations of democracy and the rule of law; it seeks not to persuade but to intimidate, not to debate but to destroy.
People from across the political spectrum need to join together to condemn political violence, no matter who the target it is. It’s never acceptable.
This is the way — communities banding together to protect and to reject. @50501-rochester-ny.bsky.social
Russia sent drones into Polish airspace overnight, provoking the biggest crisis since the invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Poland invoked Article 4 of the NATO treaty to bring it before the whole body. If the provocation goes unanswered, it could encourage more reckless action. My write-up below.
Wow. Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. just single-handedly ruled that Congress doesn’t really control the purse strings. This is becoming a massive crisis for checks and balances and the separation of powers.
We wanted to draw attention to an issue affecting Menomonie, Wisconsin. A proposed $1.6 billion data center on 320 acres of farmland (located between 650th and 690th Avenue) has drawn strong opposition. The City Council quickly annexed and rezoned the land to “Restricted Industrial,”
This is what we need! More of this. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
LP Senior Advisor Stuart Stevens: Democrats cannot shy away from characterizing Republicans in this fight. MAGA movement is not patriotism, and they must start saying that.
A Michigan judge dismissed criminal charges against false Trump electors. The outcome in Michigan may bode poorly for prosecutors in Nevada, who have also charged the six false electors for Trump in that state with committing fraud.
Every House Rules Republican just voted to block the Epstein Files Transparency Act from advancing.
"We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent." —Justice Sonia Sotomayor
The Justice Department is compiling the largest set of national voter roll data it has ever collected. They claim their goal is to prove that “troves of undocumented immigrants have voted illegally.” That’s not the real objective.
Release ALL the Epstein files! Everyone knows this is a huge cover-up. Release everything and arrest them all. Clean house on both sides of the aisle. Regardless of class, party, or belief: arrest them all and send them where they belong. Release our government from the blackmail!
In light of today’s SCOTUS decision, every person of color with an accent in the US should probably carry proof of citizenship with them at all times - while working and everywhere they go. If you don’t want to be in a detention facility awaiting a friend or relative to bring it.
In the age of AI it can be so hard to tell what's real and what's fake, so here's a tip: if Donald Trump says it's fake, it is definitely 100% real.
Let’s say it plain: the Supreme Court of the United States endorsed racial profiling today.
This administration is filled with this type of corruption.
Holy shit…You can’t make this up: a plane is circling Soldier Field before the Bears home opener with a banner that reads— “HEY ICE, MASKS ARE FOR CUCKS.” Also the trolling is incredible for those that told us to stop wearing masks during the pandemic.
Right-wing justices on the Supreme Court have sanctioned racial profiling when targeting law-abiding immigrant communities. Shame on these extremists. They have zero credibility.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court on a 6-3 ruling just UNDID a federal judge’s ruling to prevent stops based on your race. SCOTUS will rule on anything but releasing the Epstein files. SCOTUS no longer serves Americans or abides by our constitution. We need a complete re-work of our government.
“Word had spread through social media that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents had reportedly checked into both hotels. Within the hour, a small contingent of local residents had arrived at both establishments. They were there to make sure ICE agents didn’t sleep.”
RFK Jr. should’ve never been confirmed, & he’s proven that every day since. Children are literally dying from measles because of his lies & reckless anti-vax agenda. He is a threat to our health & our democracy. Public office has no place for deadly, deranged delusion. It’s time for him to resign.
When Trump said he was going to create jobs for Americans, he meant for his corrupt friends. When Trump said he was going to make America rich, he meant his corrupt friends. When Trump said he was going to- you get the picture…
Our Supreme Court is a wreck, now they’re okay with racial profiling. The Court has lifted restrictions on immigration-related stops by federal agents in the Los Angeles area, which amounts to blatant racial profiling. Agents have been stopping people solely based on their appearance,
It’s remarkable how many people believe Congress is weak and the President omnipotent. Congress isn’t powerless — it’s paralyzed by cowardice. Its authority is vast, if only it dared to act.
If you're a reporter, please stop referring to RFK Jr and his cronies as "vaccine skeptics." They're not skeptical. Skepticism would be fine. Skeptics look at evidence and can be persuaded. These people are extremist anti-vaccine cranks, and that's how news organizations should describe them.
Florida’s move on vaccine mandates will lead to avoidable illnesses and deaths.
What Trump dumped on Congress from the Epstein files. Looks like D.C. really did run out of black Sharpies. For context, this is Document 380, a motion in limine filed by Maxwell’s defense team on October 29, 2021, trying to block evidence tied to “Accuser-3” from being heard at trial.
Well said.
Alternate headline: Johnson Lied.
Hey everyone...LOOK OVER HERE! It's Lt. Col. Bone Spurs declaring war on an American city!!! Does his rough tough cream-puff cosplay make you forget about the EPSTEIN survivors, their lifetime of trauma & their courage to speak the truth in public? Yeah, me neither. #ReleaseTheEPSTEINFilesASAP
One of the most remarkable things of the last 9 months is how many Americans seem to believe the President is all powerful and Congress has no say. Actually Congress has been ineffective by choice. It has immense power if it had the courage to use it.
The United States Tennis Association told broadcasters not to show any booing of Trump today. Call them to let them know how you feel about them enabling a wannabe dictator and his fascist regime.
Nothing says, "Hey international companies, bring your manufacturing to the US" like arresting 475 workers at a Hyundai (70% of whom are South Korean).
What Epstein records have not been made public?
Attempting to rig elections on his behalf. Turning the military on citizens. Toying with the idea of declaring martial law. Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out against his regime. If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?
We’re excited for the Trump Admin to learn about BATTERIES (we have them here in California, and they’ve helped the Golden State shift to green, clean energy AND keep the lights on). 🔗 gov.ca.gov/2025/05/19/sin…
Pettiest man alive.
Let’s get this done. We all agree!
Massive amount of people. /
It's not just that we have to save our country from Trumpism. We have to save the entire world from a ravenous, reckless, criminal U.S. government. It's a moral imperative.
So sad when we must rely on foreign governments to protect our own citizens and forests. I miss having a functional national government
Trump DOJ asks judge to keep names of Jeffrey Epstein friends secret: report www.rawstory.com/trump-doj-as...
This is an actual exchange from a VP who took an oath to defend the constitution and, as a citizen, is expected to abide by the law. May we one day have accountability for the grotesque lawlessness of this regime.
WELL DONE RIC GRENELL!! PLEASE KEEP GIVING TRUMP ADVICE ON HOW TO RUN THINGS!!

“The Department of Justice's acting deputy chief was caught on a hidden camera saying that the government will ‘redact every Republican’ from an Epstein client list.” 🧐
Their “frustration” is irrelevant. Who cares? They know RFK Jr is dangerous, unfit, & is going to hurt a lot of people. But their fear of retribution from Trump is the deciding factor in all their inaction. They put their political survival over the lives and health of Americans.
Follow the money on this scam. Miles and miles of prime oceanfront real estate between SD and LA. I’m surprised it took him this long to cook up something on it.
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
The twisted world Epstein created for his victims is something we could never understand. Jess Michaels, a survivor of his abuse, bravely describes how he recruited his victims on the LP Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFqeOt_rNFM

But it is the guns. Metal detectors and perimeter controls aren’t going to stop an armed maniac from shooting kids. Just like common sense won’t stop a Fox maniac from shooting his mouth.
Don’t look away
They say 'the machines of the future' will be as smart as people... OK, but WHICH people? Because it kinda matters quite a bit.

San Francisco has hit its lowest murder rate in 60 years — 35 murders last year vs Houston’s 322. Anyone think Fox News will cover that?
Cruelty is the point. The Trump regime knows Kilmar Abrego Garcia is innocent. They know they messed up and are lying about it. Just to prove a point, they are trying to rip this man from his family and send him to a country he has no connection to. This is fascism.
Turns out the Justice Department sent Congress the Epstein files, but they were the same ones already made public.
BREAKING - Zelensky: “Russia must end this war, which it itself started.”
105 years ago today the Women’s Suffrage movement achieved its goal with the passing of the 19th amendment. Today, Trump and his Cabinet flirt with the very people and ideas that would have Women’s right to vote destroyed.
