Chris Murphy: "I think it's likely the United States that carried out this attack on this school. I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact this was one of our first targeting decisions speaks to the incompetence of our leadership at the Dept of Defense."

AOC: “President Trump ran on a promise to the American people that ICE would go after the worst of the worst — What we have seen is that ICE is not overwhelmingly going after criminals — In fact, over 70% of people currently detained in detention facilities do not have a criminal record”
House Republicans have spent all year gutting healthcare.
And making your life more expensive.
You deserve better.
of all of the things I am going to not watch, this is the thing I am going to not watch the most
ICE is going after people who commit fewer crimes than U.S. born citizens. They're robbing people, hurting people, using racial profiling, violating due process, hurting children, and going after American citizens while they do. This is an illegal criminal enterprise from head to toe.

Remember this. Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

When you do stuff like this and it isn't covered as the massive scandal it should be, the permission structure to do equally awful stuff is quite high.
The bipartisan petition to force a vote on extending the Affordable Care Act tax credits now has enough signatures.
Mike Johnson must bring this to the House floor immediately. Congress should not leave for a holiday break until we vote to protect healthcare for 25 million Americans.
My weekly email to my Congressman.
Massive defeat for Mike Johnson. Still has to clear the senate, but this is what Dems wanted all along. Johnson has essentially lost control of the gavel after Epstein and now this. Weakest speaker in history.
"The hour has come to stamp out the delusion that using maximum power to defend liberty against the maximum use of power by authoritarians who are assailing it is a reciprocal action."

Of course we don’t want to be tories mark two
We will never let the extremists cancel our history.
Kings went out of style in the United States of America in 1776.
The people will peacefully make sure that never changes.
A modest suggestion:
The White House should mind its own f__ing business.
Please take a moment this Memorial Day weekend and watch this terrific piece by my friend Bethany Swain on the protests at the Naval Academy as Americans sent a message to JD Vance. This is what the great American pushback is all about. 🇺🇸

Here comes the arrests of journalists now.
Imagine dismantling the only federal agency dedicated to uplifting minority businesses—
That’s exactly what Trump did.
The MBDA went from nearly 100 employees to just a few.
You don’t gut an agency like that unless you’re trying to kill its mission.

“That they should be the ones to welcome Pope Francis’s coffin in the basilica is because these people are those who represented the focus of his mission,” said Father Giulio Albanese, head of missionary cooperation and communications for the Vicariate of Rome. “They are those who live on the peripheries, geographical and existential peripheries.”

The Trump administration has deported a 2-year old U.S. citizen to one of the most violent countries in the world.
Why does the House Republican majority continue to enable this disgusting, unchristian-like behavior?
These people are unfit to govern.
