On the 37th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre, we remember the bravery of the Chinese people and honor their fight for democracy.
History can help shine a light on the present. As we look back, we must also look forward and stand against the ongoing human rights abuses.

Magnitude 5.7 and 5.1 earthquakes shake California. Here's where.
California's doom will not be by fire & brimstone. It'll be by shake, rattle & roll collapse!

@SenateDems @SenJeffMerkley I don't buy all this Democrat Doomsday Merchant hyperbole about skyrocketing grocery prices. Maybe you better shop at a different grocery store!
English
@SenateDems @SenJeffMerkley Grocery prices doubled under Biden. I did grocery shopping last week and compared it to previous prices. Some items increased - some decreased. The net price change for my weekly basket of groceries was (get this) MINUS $1.96. Essentially unchanged, factually less.
English
Gas prices are up. Grocery prices are up. Housing costs are up.
And the business of this Republican-led Senate is to give tax breaks to billionaires and $70 billion more to ICE and Border Patrol.
How does that possibly serve America?

@SenTimKaine This wouldn't be happening if Biden & Democrats didn't let 11 million illegal aliens into the country. What were you thinking? More House seats for Blue States?
English
Today, the Senate is voting on Republicans’ attempt to ram through funding for ICE and CBP without critical reforms. My Democratic colleagues and I are forcing votes on amendments to tackle the affordability crisis and hold the Trump-Vance Administration accountable.

ICYMI: We will continue to shine a light on the abuses inside Delaney Hall, share the stories of those impacted, and take relentless action until those being held there are released and Delaney Hall is shut down for good.
English
@SenateDems @SenOssoff Instead of paying $174,000 for worthless Senators who shut the government down, let's pay them half of that and only for 6 months out of the year. People in Congress are really freeloaders. They don't work. Their staff does all the work. They just posture!

“Instead of slush funds for criminals and corrupt ballrooms, let's do something useful. Let's ban insurance companies from denying or delaying medically necessary health care to Americans.”

@maziehirono Reduce it even more by the amount of fraud discovered!
English
Within the last year, Republicans reduced Medicaid funding by nearly $1 TRILLION, nutritional assistance grants by $190 BILLION, and diverted $500 BILLION from public schools.
Over $1,700,000,000,000 in cuts.
And apparently, for Republicans, that $1.7 trillion isn't enough.

@FrankPallone They don't deserve comfort. Make it as miserable as possible so they have incentives to sign "stipulated removal" documents. They don't belong here . . . PERIOD!
English
This is FALSE. I saw what goes on inside Delaney Hall with my own two eyes.
If the conditions there were so good, state inspectors would be allowed full access to the facility, and detainees wouldn't have launched a hunger strike in protest. We know the truth.

Congressman Jeff Van Drew on Delaney Hall, where detainees are paid $1/day or less for their work and are on hunger strike: "This is better treatment than people generally receive... the conditions are better than 90% of the world lives in, and probably half of America."

In a symbolic blow to the Golden State’s longstanding economic dominance, Texas has officially dethroned California as the state with the most Fortune 500 companies headquartered there.
Arrogant Blue State leaders, take heed if you think people & businesses won't leave

Is Platner's wife trying to help him or hurt him by contradicting his excuses? Passive-aggressive actions to get back at the misogynist neanderthal who hurt her?
English
@krassenstein He was being facetious. Subtly trolling morons like you! 😂😂😂
It's like me asking the Lesbian about the big scene she and her femme had at the bar. She says everyone argues. I said, "Yeah, and everyone's talking about it! Emoji of heart with 2 thumbs up!"

BREAKING: Trump was just asked about Joe Biden's cognitive abilities in the 2 hour meeting he had with him prior to the inauguration in 2025.
Trump: "I thought he was fine".
So let me get this straight... He was lying all the times that he suggested Biden was cognitively impaired?
English
@SenatorHick They can be united in their illegal alien parents home country! It's what you get for being a tourism birth anchor baby!
English
The Trump administration is STILL separating families. It’s cruel, inhumane, and un-American. Not one more penny for ICE.

@RepLaMonica The more miserable we can make these interlopers, the more incentive they have to sign a "stipulated removal" document. They don't deserve comfort.

It’s the Steven Miller Special: the cruelty is intentional. We’ve been sounding the alarm on this and we will not stop—shut down Delaney Hall.
Rolling Stone@RollingStone
New Jersey lawmakers are fighting back against the brutalization of immigrants detained at Newark’s Delaney Hall. “The cruelty is intentional,” Sen. Andy Kim tells Rolling Stone. rollingstone.com/politics/polit…

@MaElviraSalazar Why are these so-called Americans more concerned about foreigners than American citizens? Why do we have Senators that are more concerned about illegal aliens than they are of American citizens who become victims of illegal aliens? They shouldn't be in office!
English
Unfortunately, the Castro regime has fooled Medea and the activists of Code Pink. They have completely drunk the Kool-Aid.
What I want for Cubans is the same freedom Medea enjoys in Washington: the right to protest, criticize the government, and go home safely.
Try doing that in Havana. In Cuba, opposing the regime can land you in prison, or worse. Cubans deserve freedom and free elections.

@MAGAPosts No. I don't think even naturalized citizens should hold office or jobs in govt! To wit: Jayapal, Thanedar, Omar.

Do you think Muslims should be allowed to serve in Congress or the Senate in America?

@AesPolitics1 Because he treats others like shit. The guy is a knuckle dragging, misogynist neanderthal with no class & on 100% disability. If he gets elected, rescind his disability because he is, then, not disabled.
English
@Ilhan Give them 3 meals a day consisting of: 2 slices white bread, 1 slice slimy green bologna, 1 small packet of peanut butter, 1 small mandarin orange & 1/2 pint of milk. It's what you get in county jail detention!
English
This is horrifying. A private prison corporation is profiting off the forced labor of ICE detainees at Delaney Hall.
People are being denied access to basic medical care & sanitation. They're given rotten food to eat.
It's not enough to shut these facilities down. Abolish ICE.
