The lawyer for the Venezuelan man shot by ICE yesterday says he was discharged from the hospital and transferred to ICE detention while the bullet was still inside of him, and that in Pearsall he's not received any pain meds and was forced to sleep on the floor.

Social Security benefits will be cut for tens of millions of retirees in late 2032, unless Congress takes action first.

Warren Gunnels
@GunnelsWarren

If Bernie’s Social Security bill is signed into law, Social Security would be solvent for 75 years, benefits would go up by $2,400, 91% of Americans would not pay a penny more in taxes and the wealthy would finally pay their fair share by scrapping the cap on all taxable income.

The Democratic Party’s mega-donor class is horrified by the rising tide of progressive populism. Too bad. It's time they recognize the real choice is between democracy and tyranny, between an economy that works for all or one that works for a small sliver at the top.

Donald Trump has ruined the United States of America including everything we stand for, believe in, and are committed to. He has destroyed our reputation and he's a global embarrassment and ruined our relationship with our allies. How can one very idiotic stupid fat ugly POS do this much destruction? Seriously, Trump is the stupidest most inept person I've ever seen. I know he's got millions of cult members, but they're dumb as rocks too. I just don't get it. 🤷‍♀️

Must repair SCOTUS. That starts with flipping the House and the Senate in November. Then electing a Democrat in 2028. Then carving out or ending the senate filibuster. Then adding four fair judges not beholden to billionaires to the court. But it starts in November. VOTE.
