Elizabeth Warren: “For the Trump administration to say over & over, there's no money for healthcare – there's no money for childcare – there's no time to pay attention to how families are paying more – but there's a billion dollars a day to go to the Middle East & drop bombs on Iran”

Deaf 6-year-old boy is deported to Colombia without his medical devices, attorney says A Hayward woman and her two young children were detained and deported to Colombia after they showed up earlier this week for an asylum appointment in San Francisco, her attorney said.

ICE deported a 6 year old deaf child with severe disabilities to Columbia.

Before deporting him, they dragged him from camp to camp without providing his assistive hearing devices or a translator.

This innocent child had no way to communicate or understand what was being done to him:

Almost 2 million Americans are out of work for 27 weeks or more, up 29% from February 2025. That is so hard on their finances, self-esteem and more.

As bad as the loss of 92k jobs in February is, the #economy looks worse when considering duration of being jobless. That jumped to 25.3 weeks, up 4 weeks from a year ago.

Tell Congress: Demand AG Bondi release ALL of the Epstein files now Contact Congress today!

FACTS. The regime repeatedly broke the law in order to conduct the biggest coverup in American history.

Tell Congress right now: DO YOUR JOBS and demand the DOJ release ALL of the Epstein files.

Here’s a thought for James Comer.

There IS a First Lady who has had a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. And it’s not Hillary Clinton.

It might be worthwhile for Comer to subpoena the First Lady who actually knows Epstein.

You know, just to see what she knows.

If former President Bill Clinton must testify, then all former presidents must be compelled to testify. Counting the days.

You can become disabled or homeless at any time.

They aren’t moral failings.

You can’t “just try harder”.

All it takes is one accident, one illness, one catastrophic event and your life changes forever.

It’s a minority group you can join at any time.

Seems like a wonderful time to plan your spring trip to #Mexico. It is a delightful country, and perhaps there will be a few spot sales as scared tourists back out.

Justice Department withheld and removed some Epstein files related to Trump An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump.

“The Justice Department has withheld some Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor, an NPR investigation finds. It also removed some documents from the public database where accusations against Jeffrey Epstein also mention Trump.”

If someone had told me ten years ago that in 2026, there could be evidence of the president raping and threatening to kill children, and he would *still* be allowed to stay in office, I would have politely asked them to put down the meth pipe.
