ICE has notified me that another person has died in their custody. This is the 58th death under ICE’s watch since Trump returned to office. That’s 58 too many. We need to dismantle ICE, eliminate private, for-profit detention centers, and reform our broken immigration system.

Never forget that the FOUR Republican physicians in the Senate violated both their Hippocratic Oath and their Oath of Office to confirm RFK, Jr. They actively did do harm to those they're supposed to serve, and they willfully abdicated the defense of the Constitution against domestic enemies.

A reminder that the bill being implemented today to cut Medicaid and other benefits was put into law on JULY 4TH, 2025. Independence Day. The bill was sponsored by Jodey Arrington (TX). Republicans PASSED THIS BILL OVER A YEAR AGO. Please do not let people forget this.

To me, Tillis voting yes solidifies that he is either in the Epstein files as a perpetrator, or is in the Epstein files as a protector of perpetrators. How could his office possibly spin it otherwise? A vote for Blanche AG is an endorsement for pedophiles and rapists

This is where we are at in our society. Jesse Watters on TV joking about sexual violence to millions of chuckling viewers. Trump gave them all permission. He normalized the idea of men having the right to do anything they want to women, because doing that is what REAL men do. It's so depressing.
