For people still wondering what fascism is, Hegseth’s proposal to livestream an execution and Trump’s “love me” ad are useful introductions. (2/3)

Pope Leo XIV: Someone who says 'I'm against abortion' but says 'I'm in favor of the death penalty' is not really pro-life. Someone who says that 'I'm against abortion but I'm in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants who are in the United States,' I don't know if that's pro-life.

Only 138 out of the 1,000 trips Ken Paxton has taken during his time as Texas AG have been related to official business. All 1,000 of his trips in office have cost Texas taxpayers $3.3M.

We need to force kids to read “Thou shalt not kill” on their classroom walls, then livestream the government killing someone on their screens. Apparently, that’s what Christian values look like under Pete Hegseth.

Ossoff: "If you want to understand whether the Trump-Collins budget has helped you, just go fill up a tank of gas. Go to the grocery store. Try to buy food for you kids. Look at your electric bill. Look at your health insurance premiums. They've doubled for more than a million Georgians."

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

Susan Collins, I'm sorry you're offended. I wasn’t mocking Susan Collins for getting road salt exempted from tariffs. I was mocking the fact that she didn’t stop Donald Trump from putting tariffs on everything else when she had the chance.

Women across Maine begged Susan Collins not to put Brett Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court because they knew Roe was at stake. She did it anyway. To this day, she says "I do not regret that vote." Well, we sure do.

Byron Donalds has spent $100 million, but we're in a position to win this race - because voters are rejecting the politics of division and embracing a campaign focused on housing, healthcare, education, and no data centers. Thank you for being a part of this historic campaign.

Hegseth also removed the olive branches, a traditional symbol of wishing peace, from the Department of Defense seal. This, in addition to changing the name to "The Department of War," shows the dangerous belligerency that comes from appointing a frat bro who values testosterone over statesmanship.
