I’ve never defended a rapist in my life.
You, however, worked hard to elect a man to the presidency who was found liable for sexual abuse by a jury of his peers. A man accused of sexual misconduct by two dozen women.
But sure, tell me more about your values.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is ending a policy that required the agency to report the deaths of former detainees that occurred within 30 days of their release from federal custody. https://t.co/wN2sMIczAI
Senate confirmed Steve Pearce as BLM director 46-45 on Monday—hours after BLM killed the rule recognizing conservation as a legitimate use of public lands. The Public Lands Integrity Act is the guardrail between a Pearce-led BLM and the auction block. https://t.co/GPuFvY5HSF
The Senate just blocked an Iran war powers resolution for the fourth time this year, 47-52. The War Powers Resolution gives Congress—not the president—the power to authorize war, and Trump’s 60-day clock runs out this month.
Members of Iran’s Jewish community standing in the rubble of their synagogue in Tehran.
Bombed by Israel.
On Passover.
Iran is home to the largest Jewish population in the Middle East outside of Israel. They have lived there for 2,700 years.
This is who Israel bombed on the holiest night of the Jewish calendar.
A Native American family in Utah says a police officer showed up at their home with a woman who was legally prohibited from being on the property due to active protective orders.
When they presented the paperwork — he allegedly crumpled it.
Then entered anyway. No warrant. No permission.
Joseph Schwartz was convicted of healthcare fraud.
His mom then donated $1 million to Trump.
Then Trump pardoned him.
Republicans don’t seem to care about fraud if it’s followed by bribes.
50 billionaires already spent over $346 million on the midterms to boost politicians who will give them and corporations more tax breaks.
Billionaires buying politicians will always be a bigger threat to elections than the 66 non-citizens who cast ballots over the last 25 years
@Mike_Pence@SRuhle@AAFLegal We donnot want free trade we want #fairtrade. Where workers are paid living wages and can afford to buy a home. Afford a vacation and family outings
A reminder that the NSA director position was only vacant because Trump fired the last guy on Laura Loomer's say-so.
For 18 Senate Dems to vote to confirm Trump's handpicked, underqualified replacement for the job is just so irresponsible and weak.
Now Washington & Bennett are paying the price for LAPD’s unwillingness to acknowledge they were wrong. Washington was charged w/ resisting & battery on an officer (he accidentally knocked a 👮 w/ an elbow as they dragged him away & threw him up against a car). [W/ mom Rayshana]
It’s worse than you imagine.
- 935 billionaires & families make up 17% of all campaign contributions.
- Top 10% make up 80% (!!!) of all campaign contributions.
Working class Americans & their policy prescriptions are getting left behind in favor of the oligarch donor class.
