I hate when I go to bed early on a Saturday night and wake up Sunday morning only to discover we’ve gone to war in the Middle East without the consent of Congress. 😡

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

Los Angeles population is roughly 4M+ people. It’s a massive city, folks. The combined 4700 National Guard and Marines have been sent to about a 3-block area to aggressively eat lunch and watch peaceful protestors sing and dance. 👇🏽 💃🏽🎶🕺🏼 So now you know. Keep lifting the veil, LA fam!

While Trump was demeaning Pres. Zelensky in the Oval Office and sneering he has “no cards,” Zelensky was planning a major Russian attack that has successfully damaged or destroyed some 41 aircraft deep inside Russia.

Karoline Leavitt said the Trump regime is pushing for the trades while defunding Harvard. Now, they’re defunding Job Corps. They aren’t advocating for trades people. They want uneducated folks with no skills to work for any wage and any condition www.dol.gov/newsroom/rel...

Chris Murphy on Joni Ernst: "I think everybody in that audience knows they're going to die, they would just rather die in old age at 85 or 90 instead of dying at 40. And the reality is that when you lose your healthcare, you are much more at risk of early death."

Next time someone in Congress glibly dismisses your need for healthcare, remember that they have some of the best healthcare in the country. And it was paid for by YOU.

Here’s the thing, if they are picking up folks working in the country illegally, I’m going to need to see some white guys also being arrested for employing people working illegally in the country. Otherwise, it’s just racism.

If you have to repeatedly break the law to arrest those you claim have broken the law, you’re not enforcing the law. ICE has morphed into a terrorizing Gestapo-like goon squad. They must be held accountable.

A man who holds the title of President of the United States, who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, who then says he doesn’t know if he’d uphold the Constitution, is unfit to be president and should be removed.

He stood there on Jan 20 and falsely mouthed the words to protect and defend our Constitution. Asked now on Meet the Press if he thinks he needs to uphold the Constitution, he says, “I don’t know.” Translation: No. Woe to America and the utter failure of putting this man back in our Oval Office.

DOGE initially promised to save taxpayers $2 trillion.  Now it admits it's only delivered $160B in cuts. And even those minimal savings are nearly wiped out by the cost of implementing DOGE's cuts: $135B. We're losing vital government services for basically nothing in return.

I’m so confused by the folks who said that raising the minimum wage would increase the price of every day goods while also being okay with tariffs raising the price of every day goods… I reckon they are okay paying higher prices as long as it doesn’t help anyone making a minimum wage.
