Normal senators would be deeply ashamed for providing such an idiotic and embarrassing display. Unfortunately, these three clowns have no shame. Time to retether yourselves to reality.

It's outrageous that this indiscriminate killing has gone on so long. All of these victims deserved, but did not receive, due process. No one can say with certainty which were guilty and which were innocent. It's a horrific version of shoot first and ask questions later.

Imagine a judge asking a toddler with NO lawyer if they agree to voluntary departure or want a removal order. That's what the Trump admin is forcing kids—who are as young as 2 years old—to do in immigration courts. That's not due process. That's insane. These are KIDS.

Migrant children as young as 2 are showing up at immigration courts nationwide, many without attorneys, to try make their case to stay in the US and avoid deportation.

If we were serious about ending the Iran war, shouldn't we be holding direct talks instead of avoiding responsibility by involving other countries, only to reject their negotiations? We will never end it this way.

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

Unitary executive theory and originalism are weak excuses to subvert our constitution. Anyone with a functioning brain knows what the court majority is doing is blatantly unconstitutional. We all learned about our founding fathers and Abraham Lincoln, and this is all about white supremacy.

Looks like the framer's of the constitution screwed up with the SCOTUS. As current history proves, no one can be allowed to police themselves, especially not SCOTUS. They should not be allowed to accept "gifts" or be able to write their own ethics rules, which appear to be non-existent.

Added bonus for high income earners: if you make more than $184,500, you stop having to pay once you hit that limit. We wouldn't have these ridiculous arguments if we lifted the cap. The fund would remain solvent.

Well, then I hope they start providing factual information instead of white washing the news to satisfy his fragile ego. It would be so refreshing to go back to the Cronkite era where verifiable facts are reported so you can draw your own conclusions.
