In 2002 @usda reported,"Of all private U.S. agricultural land,Whites account for 96 percent of the owners,97 percent of the value . . . ." Blacks, American Indians, Asians, and Hispanics combined accounted for 4.3% owners,3.6% value. #rural #landownership ers.usda.gov/webdocs/public…

Republicans make claims about voter fraud and are pushing the SAVE Act, proof of US citizenship. Kansas passed their own SAVE Act 10 years ago and it was a FIASCO! 31k Kansans were WRONGFULLY barred from voting, and it was overturned. apnews.com/article/kansas… Tell your Senators you dont want the SAVE Act! #DemsAbroad #stopthesaveact 🧵

I discussed the record heat out west, it's tie-in to human-caused climate change, and the real-world consequences we are seeing, earlier this evening with @AliVelshi on @MSNOWNews @TheLastWord:

Jared Kushner’s firm has gained billions from deals in the Middle East. Why is he playing a key role in the Trump Administration’s negotiations in the Middle East? Is he selling access to influence U.S. policy? Oversight Dems are investigating Kushner and we will get answers.

MS NOW airs compilation of MAGA voters and independents complaining about Trump's handling of gas, Venezuela, immigration, and campaign promises

Democrats put up a bill to pay TSA agents. AGAIN.  Republicans blocked it. AGAIN.     Republicans are standing between TSA agents and their paychecks!

Republicans control all 3 branches of government. Democrats introduced 7 bills to fund TSA. Each one was blocked by Republicans.

NEW: President Trump makes four false claims in a 43-word post about Tina Peters. Peters is 70 (not 73), does not have cancer, was sentenced by a judge in Mesa County (not the Governor), and did not expose fraud in the 2020 presidential election.

EXCLUSIVE: Father of service member killed in Iran war said he did not tell Pete Hegseth to "finish" the job. nbcnews.com/politics/donal…

Rep. Greg Casar confronts Sen. John Cornyn for refusing to support a bipartisan bill to fund TSA.

Republicans just blocked a Senate bill that would’ve funded TSA, FEMA, the Coast Guard and other agencies just because they want to give ICE a slush fund. Meanwhile, this is what airports across America look like.

Senate Democrats proposed legislation this week to fund FEMA, TSA, and the Coast Guard. Senate Republicans blocked it. Absolutely shameful.

Leqaa Kordia has been released from ICE detention after a year under lockdown. The 33-year-old Palestinian woman and Columbia University student was arrested during Pro-Palestine protests on campus. Read her account of her time under lockdown: zeteo.com/p/leqaa-kordia…

Greg Bovino won’t just get to walk away — he will be held accountable and responsible for the damage he's done to our nation. We won’t forget, and neither should you. No one is above the law.

MAGA’s mass deportation campaign is terrorizing communities—but especially kids. We brought brave students and advocates to Capitol Hill to speak truth to power. NO MORE anti-immigrant crusade. Watch. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

On this day in 1886, a white mob killed 23 Black people in the audience of the trial of a white man accused of assaulting two brothers who were Black. calendar.eji.org/racial-injusti…

If Paramount can shell out billions of dollars to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery, then they can pay their unionized CBS staff a fair wage. I stand with the CBS staff who walked out today as they fight these corporate giants for essential protections and fair contracts.

#OnThisDay in 1919, Nat King Cole was born. A jazz legend, hitmaker, and barrier-breaker, he became the first Black host of a national TV variety show. Black excellence. Timeless impact. Unforgettable legacy.

Socrates in 460 BC: “The unexamined life is not worth living.” Marcus Aurelius in 150 CE: “You have power over your mind—not outside events.” Augustine of Hippo in 400 CE: “Do not go outside; return into yourself. In the inward man dwells the truth.” Marc Andreessen in 2026:

Being born & raised in Chicago, I really loved the Chicago-Mississippi duality in Sinners too. Buddy Guy is a Chicago blues legend who recently urged the city to build a monument cementing it as the Blues Capitol. Lawmakers are working on a proposal now.

Q: You don’t regret that people might’ve lost important income to support their lives? A: No, I think it was more important to reduce the federal deficit. Q: Ok. Did you reduce the federal deficit? A: No, we didn’t.
