Letting 42 million Americans go without food this weekend—half of whom are children—is WRONG and a CHOICE. The funds are there, but the White House is trying to leverage hungry kids for a political agenda. Mr. President, American lives are not a political game, and we are not here to play.

Let’s be clear: deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda makes no sense—it’s not his home country. Nothing about this process has been fair. ICE is targeting him with cruelty. This is the weaponization of government, not justice.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia detained by ICE during Baltimore check-in

The detention, which was expected, happened after Abrego Garcia walked into the Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in Baltimore for a check-in after being released from custody on Friday.

I'm not sure 65-69% of Americans would agree the sun is hot and night is dark, but they apparently agree on this: Americans who say Trump is "very" or "somewhat dishonest" = 69% Americans who say Trump is "very" or "somewhat corrupt" = 65% www.umass.edu/news/article...

Reminder that in 2021, Senate Republicans filibustered a bill that would have banned partisan gerrymandering of congressional districts.

So the Republican Congress can pass a bill renaming the Gulf of Mexico, but can't seem to find the time to stop Trump's erosion of checks and balances or tackle rising housing and grocery costs? Their priorities couldn’t be more clear.

Psst…those 1950s manufacturing jobs Trump loves so much? They were good jobs because they were UNION jobs. Oh...and taxes on corporations and the rich were much higher. Trump’s agenda won’t bring back the “Golden Age.” It’ll make the rich richer at everyone else's expense.

AOC: They want to talk about why America is great or making America great. Our civil liberties and our civil protections are part of what makes America great. When you want to shred up our constitution and eliminate due process, it is attacking what it is to be an American.

House Republicans voted to overturn the CFPB's cap on excessive overdraft fees — which was expected to save consumers $5 billion annually. The House also struck down CFPB oversight over payment apps run by Big Tech companies. The GOP is the party of letting you get ripped off.

Newsom: He took water that was set aside for this summer from one part of Central Valley and dumped it into another part—without telling them.. They had to turn off the pump because it was starting to impact the levees. None of it went to Southern California.

"When the president ignores due process, he doesn’t just chip away at laws meant to protect the accused — he strikes at the core of our American freedoms...for many of the deported, the offense seems to be nothing more than having a tattoo — a rose... a Bible verse, a daughter’s name."

When a tattoo means deportation, every American should be alarmed

The Trump administration’s deportation of alleged Tren de Aragua gang members to El Salvador without due process betrays American values.

Republicans want to fully repeal the estate tax. This would result in a massive tax cut for the wealthiest families and further entrench an American aristocracy. How will Republicans pay for it? With major cuts to social programs like Medicaid and SNAP. Trickle up economics.

Trump and DOGE are dismantling Social Security— firing thousands of SSA employees and shuttering offices. Why? Because they don't want one of the govt's most successful programs to work. They want to pave the way for privatization so Wall Street can gamble with our retirement.

And straight into a tariff wall at that.

The image is a screenshot of an X post from The Lincoln Project (@ProjectLincoln
). The post features a manipulated photo of two individuals inside a red car. The person on the left, wearing sunglasses and a black outfit, is depicted as driving and smiling, while the person on the right, dressed in a suit with a red tie, appears to be a passenger. Superimposed text over the image reads, "Get in, we're gonna crash the economy."

BREAKING: House Republicans just passed their budget resolution 217-215 that would virtually guarantee deep cuts to Medicaid and food stamps, all to fund a major tax break for the ultrawealthy... and still add trillions to the national debt.
