@McFaul The greatest personal fulfillment is lying down each night with a clear conscience; knowing you have given your best in word and deed, shared what you had of value, and lived true to your beliefs. ~MS

Tom Steyer has spent $100M on this campaign. That’s the same amount he made profiting off the misery of Immigrants — including children — through his investment in ICE detention Camps. His entire campaign is built on the backs of kids in cages.

Marco Rubio: “If Europe won’t allow us to use the bases we man and fund for their defense when we need them — we ought to close them down and remove our troops from Europe.” Europe’s response to being threatened: Spain: airspace closed. Italy: Sigonella denied. France: airspace closed. Switzerland: airspace closed. Poland: no missile batteries. UK: not our war. Canada: never. Germany: no. Japan: officially no. Australia: no. Rubio is threatening to pull troops from Europe. Europe already pulled the welcome mat.

More people need to be talking about this. Remember the classified documents case Trump made disappear the second he took office? The one he was facing 40 felony counts for? The one where a judge he appointed buried the Special Counsel’s report? Well, Washington Republicans handed Congress documents last week to clear his name, and it backfired. BADLY. Because those documents contained evidence that Trump was showing passengers on his private plane some of the most CLASSIFIED secrets in existence — material so sensitive that only SIX people in the entire U.S. government had clearance to see it. This isn’t over. axios.com/2026/03/25/tru…

🚨NEW: Under Pam Bondi the DOJ dropped 23,000 criminal cases. Terrorism. White-collar crime. Healthcare fraud. Drugs. Gone. While opening 32,000 new immigration cases. The same DOJ sealing the Epstein files. The same DOJ subpoenaing everyone who investigated Trump. The same Pam Bondi testifying under oath in 14 days. Justice is not the priority. Enemies are.

This is Rep. Rich McCormick, a physician and one of the House Republicans leading the charge to cut Social Security. He represents 116,000 Social Security recipients. RETWEET to let @RepMcCormick's constituents know he wants to cut their Social Security!

🚨NEW: Federal Judge Richard Leon has blocked the construction of Donald Trump's White House ballroom, saying "The President is the steward of the White House for future generations...he is not the owner!" RETWEET to thank Judge Leon for standing up for our democracy!

This is a massive and unconstitutional voter suppression effort aimed at giving Trump the power to create a list of who is allowed to vote by mail. We know where this will go -- the targeting of Democrats for mass disenfranchisement. We will sue and we will win.

ICE guards are betting on which detainee will kill themselves next. The AP just exposed the savage conditions of a detention camp in El Paso. The Associated Press got inside Camp East Montana. What they found should be on the front page of every newspaper in this country until it closes. About 3,000 people packed in per day. Loud, unsanitary quarters crawling with insects. Food so scarce that detainees steal from each other just to eat. Disease spreading through filthy rooms, showers, and restrooms that go uncleaned. People losing weight. People unable to see a doctor. People losing their minds. Staff made nearly one 911 call per day in the camp's first five months. One call captures a man sobbing after being assaulted by another detainee. Another has a doctor describing a man banging his head against a wall while expressing suicidal thoughts. A nurse calls about a pregnant woman in severe pain with coronavirus. Detainees suffering seizures, some resulting in serious head trauma. Ages ranged from a 19-year-old who fell from a bunk to a 79-year-old who couldn't breathe. And then there's the detail that should haunt this administration for the rest of its existence. Owen Ramsingh, a former property manager from Columbia, Missouri, who spent weeks in the camp before being deported to the Netherlands, told the AP he overheard a security guard talking about a betting pool among the staff. They were wagering on which detainee would be next to die by suicide. The guard said he had put $500 in. The total pot rode on the outcome. Ramsingh said the talk was particularly devastating because he had contemplated suicide himself. Guards are gambling on the deaths of people in their custody. People who are hungry. People who are sick. People who are begging for help through 911 calls that come in every single day. And the staff turned it into a game. This is not some rogue facility. This is the system working exactly as this administration designed it. Overcrowded by policy. Underfed by neglect. Understaffed by choice. They built a place where human beings deteriorate and then the people paid to watch over them place bets on who breaks first. The AP has the data. The recordings. The interviews. The court filings. This is documented. This is real. This is happening right now in El Paso, Texas, in the United States of America. Share this. Do not let them bury it under another news cycle.

NEWS: Judge Amit Mehta rules Trump is NOT immune for key Jan. 6 conduct—including his Ellipse rally speech, outreach to officials, and related actions—finding they can be treated as campaign activity, not presidential duties. That means civil lawsuits can move forward. The court also rejected Trump’s First Amendment defense and blocked a DOJ effort that could have shielded him from liability.

>>@IamPoliticsGirl said it best: “In the past year, Trump has pardoned at least 14 of his friends for fraud...whose fraud adds up to around $700 million dollars.” “You wanted them to drain the swamp? Well, DC is now the thickest, grossest, deepest, darkest swamp that has ever been.” “You want fraud and corruption, JD, maybe you start your task force with the President's son-in-law because these people don't give a s*** about fraud. All they want is talking points against Democrats. This administration is a fraud, and the American people deserve so much better.”

Llama: every move you make is pissing me off 😂😂

@leatherneck559 @AMAZlNGNATURE Llamas really are that crazy, unpredictable, and definitely strong-willed in their opinions!😆 No need for AI to even try to outdo a llama!

@AMAZlNGNATURE Holy cow... lol... or holy llama! Ha ha... that is hilarious. Well, I am from a generation that has zero clue when it comes to AI... so... no idea if this is AI or not. But I don't care... it's freaking funny. 😂😂😂

Bank of America just agreed to pay $72.5 million for helping Jeffrey Epstein traffic underage girls. The settlement dropped late Friday night. Buried under war headlines and protest coverage. Almost like they planned it that way. And this is literally the FOURTH major bank settlement tied to Epstein's sex trafficking operation. JPMorgan paid $290 million to victims. Then another $75 million to the US Virgin Islands. Deutsche Bank paid $75 million to victims and got hit with a $150 million regulatory fine on top of that. Now Bank of America adds $72.5 million. Total exposed so far: Over $660 million. Number of bankers criminally charged: ZERO. Number of bankers who went to prison: ZERO. Every single settlement came with "no admission of wrongdoing." Every bank said some version of "we regret the association" and moved on. But the court filings tell a very different story: JPMorgan filed suspicious activity reports on Epstein's accounts as early as 2002. Their own compliance team flagged him. They KNEW something was wrong but they kept banking him for 11 more years anyway. When Epstein was alive and actively trafficking girls, JPMorgan flagged $4.3 million in suspicious transactions. After he died in his cell? They retroactively reported $1.3 BILLION in suspicious activity going back to 2003. That's 300 times more than what they reported while he was alive. A Senate investigation found that JPMorgan executives overruled their own compliance officers to keep Epstein as a client. Internal emails show top executives approved continued business with Epstein even AFTER his 2008 conviction because he was bringing in ultra-wealthy referrals. Deutsche Bank picked Epstein up as a client in 2013, the same year JPMorgan finally dropped him. Their own CEO later admitted onboarding him was "a critical mistake that should never have happened." They literally kept him for five more years. Bank of America allegedly didn't file suspicious activity reports on Epstein-linked accounts until AFTER he was dead. The pattern is identical every time: See the red flags. Ignore them. Profit from the relationship. Wait until the client dies or gets arrested. Then file a report. Then write a settlement check. Then say you did nothing wrong. Now think about this... These are the same banks that freeze your business account over a $5,000 wire transfer. The same compliance departments that require endless forms of ID to open a checking account. The same institutions that flag small business owners for "suspicious activity" if they deposit cash from their own customers two weeks in a row. But a convicted sex offender runs hundreds of millions through their systems for DECADES and nobody notices. Nobody reports it. Nobody escalates it. Nobody calls law enforcement. Until he's dead. Then suddenly everyone remembers everything. Senator Wyden called for a criminal investigation. The Treasury Department has thousands of pages of Epstein bank records they still won't release. Congressional investigators say the full picture of what these banks knew hasn't come close to being revealed. $660 million in settlements and fines. But not a single criminal charge against any banker at any institution. That's the system working exactly as designed. I wonder why no one's talking about the files anymore?

The video shows Marco Rubio first saying that “Ukraine is not America’s war,” and then older video showing him explaining how “America promised to defend Ukraine in exchange for giving up its nuclear weapons.” Rubio has become a prime example of the MAGA cult mentality. He has compromised his own principles in order to follow the cult leader. Rubio is now wearing shoes that do not fit, yet he is too afraid to admit it.

“No Kings” protesters assembled to form a message reading “TRUMP MUST GO NOW!” at Ocean Beach in San Francisco, California today

🇺🇸 NEW POLL: 75% of Americans say Pete Hegseth should be removed from office. Retweet if you’re one of the 75%.

We are called "the elderly." But that quiet label hides something most people rarely stop to consider. We are the last living witnesses of a world that no longer exists. Look at us and you might see gray hair, slower steps, and the patience that time teaches. But listen to our story — really listen — and you'll realize something extraordinary. We are the only generation in human history to have lived a fully analog childhood and a fully digital adulthood. That's not a small thing. That's one of the most breathtaking journeys a human being has ever been asked to make. We were born in the 1940s, 50s, and early 60s, into a world still rebuilding from the rubble of World War II. Our toys were marbles and hopscotch and card games at kitchen tables. When the streetlights flickered on, that was it — childhood adventures were over, and it was time to go home. No smartphones. No streaming. No endless scroll. We built our memories in the real world. With scraped knees and laughter echoing down streets and friendships formed face to face. In 1969, we sat in living rooms staring at black-and-white televisions as Neil Armstrong took humanity's first steps on the Moon. Hundreds of thousands of us stood in muddy fields at Woodstock believing — really believing — that music and community could reshape the future. We fell in love to vinyl records spinning on turntables. We waited days, sometimes weeks, for handwritten letters to arrive. We learned patience because information didn't come instantly. Mistakes were fixed with erasers — not a delete button. Then the world transformed. Machines that once filled entire rooms shrank to devices lighter than a paperback. We went from rotary phones and party lines to seeing the face of someone we love on the other side of the ocean — instantly, on something that fits in a pocket. We watched the birth of the personal computer. The arrival of the internet. The smartphone. Artificial intelligence. And through every single shift — we adapted. Not because it was easy. Because that's what our generation does. We also carry the weight of history in our bodies. We grew up afraid of polio and tuberculosis. We watched science defeat them. We witnessed the discovery of the structure of DNA, the decoding of the human genome, the transformation of medicine itself. We survived pandemics across decades — and kept going. Few generations have been asked to absorb so much change in a single lifetime. And through all of it, certain things never changed. We still know the joy of a cold glass of lemonade on a hot afternoon. The taste of vegetables picked straight from a garden. The value of a long conversation that unfolds slowly, without a screen interrupting it. We have celebrated births and mourned losses. Carried the stories of friends who are gone. Watched the world become something our younger selves couldn't have imagined — and found ways to belong in it anyway. We are not relics. We are living bridges between two entirely different worlds. Our memory carries something the modern world needs — proof that progress doesn't have to erase wisdom. That speed doesn't have to replace patience, kindness, or reflection. So when someone calls us elderly, we can smile. Because behind that word is something remarkable. We crossed two centuries. Witnessed eight decades of transformation. Walked from handwritten letters to artificial intelligence — and never lost our sense of what actually matters.

@matt_dentino @maddenifico Jesus knows His sheep. He knows the wolves in sheep's wool, too.

@maddenifico King Jesus 👑 lead us unknowingly right through the one in Franklin Square where they chanted & had anti Trump signs. We countered with "God bless Trump, Trump has no King but Jesus, Jesus 💕 you, God bless America and of course they manifested their "King" 😡 by yelling at us...

Awesome video of the Handmaid's procession at the No Kings protest in Nashville, Tennessee. 🙌💪👏✊️👇

I don't think people understand the gravity of the situation as the UN is preparing for possible nuclear weapon use in Iran. This is a picture of Tehran. For you uneducated, untraveled, never-served, warhawks licking your chops at the thought of bombing it. It's not some low population desert. There are families, children, family pets. Regular working class people with dreams. You're sick to want war. Tehran is a city of nearly 10,000,000 people. Imagine nuking Washington, Berlin, Paris, London, or beyond, bombed with nuclear weapons. I gave up my diplomatic career to leak this information. I suspended my duties so as not to be part of or a witness to this crime against humanity, in an attempt to prevent a nuclear winter before it is too late. Yesterday, nearly ten million people protested “No Kings” in the United States. The possibility of the use of nuclear weapons must be taken very seriously. It's dangerous. Act now. Spread this message worldwide. Take the streets. Protest for our humanity and future. Only the people can stop it. History will remember us.

Incredible brain cancer breakthrough for a terminal illness. ➡️But the U.S. govt has SLASHED medical research by 80-90%. Remember that next time you read about these cancer breakthroughs. Virtually all disease treatments and preventions start with NIH / NSF research funding.
