Close every single concentration camp! Laws are needed to prohibit all "camps," prisons, holding facilities, from being private, for-profit, businesses. Stockholders of these anti-human facilities should be considered complicit in crimes against humanity. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Let me be clear: claims of widespread noncitizen voting are false. Incidents of noncitizens actually voting are so rare that when Utah conducted a full investigation, it found none. Zero. @democracydocket.com

I know one thing, before it's over people are going to get tired of me screaming about how if more of us would take advantage of early voting, a lot of what the GOP does to suppress votes on voting day wouldn't work.

Sri Lanka recovers 87 bodies from Iranian warship sunk off its coast by a US submarine
The Iranian vessel was the Islamic Republic's 'prize ship,' according to the US defense secretary. This marks one of the few instances of a submarine sinking a ship since World War II.

Jasmine is a class act.
This morning I called James and congratulated him on becoming the Senate nominee. Texas is primed to turn blue and we must remain united because this is bigger than any one person. This is about the future of all 30 million Texans and getting America back on track. With the primary behind us, Democrats must rally around our nominees and win. I'm committed to doing my part and will continue working to elect democrats up and down the ballot.

The morally bankrupt Trump administration has partnered with another morally bankrupt authoritarian to declare an unprovoked war on Iran, already killing scores of civilians. We need an immediate vote from Congress on a War Powers Resolution. Then articles of impeachment.
