I asked the president why focus on these projects now amid the backdrop of the war in Iran and as gas prices soar. He said the question was “stupid” and a “disgrace to the country” saying he’s “fixing” the reflecting pool.

Olivia Andre, a 19-year-old nursing student, spent six months inside the Dilley Trailer Prison. But thanks to the advocacy of her family, Congresswoman Pingree, Miss Rachel and attorneys she’s headed home to Maine this afternoon. In a few hours she’ll be home with her family.

Abolish ICE.

Dem motto for November’s voter turnout: “Too big to rig.”

The same Duffys who threw endless fits on national television when Pete was working from our son's ICU bedside are now bragging about their multi-month, taxpayer-funded family road trip while gas and grocery prices soar for American families because of Trump's war of choice. How much more unfocused, unserious, and out of touch can you be?

When a president of the United States calls a black woman journalist a bitch, silence is not an option. Shame on her cowardly coworkers.

9,000 schools across the country are being affected by a massive hack right now that is shutting down Canvas during finals week for millions of American students (including me). It would be nice if we had an FBI Director focused on responding to things like this with the same verve he shows for abusing his power to investigate people who discuss his consumption of alcohol.

This is so damn disrespectful. Obama was a US Senator, a state Senator and a community leader and advocate for years before becoming POTUS. A Harvard educated lawyer, first Black president of the Harvard Law Review. Spencer Pratt was a reality tv boyfriend 2 decades ago. Stop it

ICE does not want you to see the cruel reality for children and their families locked up at Dilley. Children like Victor and Monserrat who were picked up at a bus stop miss their dad and school—and it’s not just them. 93 children remain locked up and it’s not right. #FreeOurChildren #ShutDownDilley

What Republicans are doing in Tennessee today and across the country is a stain on our nation’s soul. This Supreme Court will be remembered as the most corrupt in history.

This spring, federal agencies plan to spray glyphosate—the world's most controversial and widely-debated weedkiller—across thousands and thousands of acres of public land. Land where families camp, hikers explore, hunters pursue game, and children swim in mountain streams. And almost no one knows it's happening, reports @natethecurious. Glyphosate, introduced by agri-giant Monsanto in 1974, has been classified as a probable carcinogen by the World Health Organization. Bayer, the multinational conglomerate that acquired Monsanto in 2018, is now on the hook for over $12 billion in legal settlements and payouts to thousands of people who claim Roundup gave them cancer and other serious illnesses. Scientists have also linked the chemical to decimated Monarch butterfly populations, mass frog die-offs, and widespread ecological damage. And yet in February, President Trump signed an executive order declaring glyphosate critical to national security, invoking the Defense Production Act to guarantee its continued use and shielding its producers from legal liability. So why is one of the most litigated chemicals in American history being quietly sprayed across our national forests? To get to the bottom of it, my colleague Melissa Lewis and I pulled California pesticide application records going back to 1995 and analyzed more than 5 million data points. What we uncovered was deeply troubling: glyphosate spraying in California forests has quintupled since 2005—the fastest-growing market for the chemical in the state—and the public has been left almost entirely in the dark. This is the secret plan to cover the world in herbicide—that they don't want you to know about. Find the full 22 minute documentary on our YouTube channel.

Kevin González is only 18. He is suffering from stage 4 colon cancer and has days to live. He’s desperate to spend his last moments with his parents, but ICE detained his mom and dad after they tried to seek humanitarian asylum. This is the total cruelty of Trump’s mass deportation machine. I'm asking for Kevin’s parents to be released immediately so that they can be with their son. nbcchicago.com/news/local/chi…

I have a red line in determining which Democrat I will support for President. That person must commit to removing the stain of trump’s name from every single federal building, and kick it off with a grand public ceremony. With fireworks. You think I’m kidding. I’m not kidding.

🇺🇸BREAKING: Glyphosate — the active ingredient in Roundup — is being sprayed over millions of acres of US forests. Most Americans have no idea it’s happening. The same Roundup that Bayer spent $9 million lobbying Congress to shield from cancer liability. The same Bayer whose lobbying firm employed Trump’s Chief of Staff and Attorney General. The same chemical Thomas Massie called out at the Supreme Court. Now it’s being sprayed over your forests. Never stop connecting the dots.

ICE arrested a 5th grader and 2nd grader at the school bus stop in San Antonio as their classmates watched in horror. Their stepmother was detained with them. The community at Alamo Heights Independent School District elementary is speaking out—no child should be locked away at the Dilley trailer prison. I am in touch with their father, Victor Labrador, and I plan on visiting with the family during my inspection of Dilley tomorrow. The family were asylum seekers and had valid work permits—what is happening to them is shameful.

Anyone who knows me knows I’m against the war crimes being committed by the Israeli and American governments. Accusing me of wanting children killed in the Middle East because I oppose antisemitism is a sickness on the left. Fuck you, Hasan Piker.

1. ICE has not paid for detainee medical care for 7 MONTHS The termination of payments to providers has coincided with a MASSIVE SPIKE in detainee deaths. This is a health crisis and a moral crisis. Follow along for details. 🧵

Zoila Guerra Sandoval lost her former partner, Jose Mynor Lopez, in the 2024 Key Bridge collapse. In response, the government offered her permanent residency if she applied. She did. Clerical errors blocked it. Now, she faces deportation and possible separation from their 7-year-old U.S. citizen daughter, who has already lost her father. A promise was made and broken. A mother should not have to fight to stay in the country where her partner gave his life working.

The family members of the 20 million people who died from Covid noticed

Spirit danced with bankruptcy & was plagued by management issues for quite some time. Then - this unprofitable organization- with almost no cushion got hit with soaring jet fuel costs. That is the story.
