This is one of the finest, most powerful television ads I've every seen. Do American a favor and share this everywhere.
Heart, not policy papers.
Love, not hate.
Hope, not fear.
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.
"Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in serious crimes against our nation," former special counsel Jack Smith said during a hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee. https://t.co/d67OcWMUss
NEW: Washington’s Cardinal McElroy told Catholics on Sunday to “fight every dimension” of the Trump administration’s war on immigrants and to replace politicians who tolerate it.
“We must recognize that in abandoning the words of Deuteronomy and the Statue of Liberty, we are losing our soul as a nation,” he said.
His homily came on the World Day of Migrants and Refugees, which Pope Leo XIV dedicated this year to migrant children. https://t.co/LQVVuKqnBE
this gaffe should follow Eric Schmitt around for the rest of his political life

A phenomenal moment in the Senate.
Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., claims he has evidence Jack Smith went to a HAWKS game in Atlanta.
Smith denies it.
Schmitt declares he has busted Jack Smith for perjury.
Smith, vexed, says he went to HAWKEYES game in Maryland.
Watch the whole thing:
Went out to the least visited stretch of the Big Bend border sector in Hudspeth County where, despite the national park pause, wall construction is plowing full steam ahead. Far down a forgotten dusty washboard road, we found a massive staging area of freshly bladed desert--hundreds of acres--by far the largest I've ever seen for a wall construction project. Apocalyptic scenes happening out here, where seemingly no one is playing much attention.
$7 billion for this... All the while, we've seen more migrant apprehensions along smaller sections of the U.S.-Canada border than we have in the entire Big Bend Sector.
DHS contractors are destroying Big Bend. They illegally suspended all laws, awarded no-bid contract and are moving forward at breakneck speed in total secrecy.
We're preparing to file for an injunction before more irreversible damage is done to Texas' crown jewel national park.
Big crowd today at Santa Elena Canyon. They're protesting DHS's bulldozing of Big Bend National Park for border construction just downstream of here.
"No road. No wall. No wire. No way," is echoing off 1500-ft cliffs that make up the border, where it's truly impossible to cross.
HAPPENING NOW: protestors brave the 100+ degree heat in Big Bend to fight DHS border barrier and road construction through the park. Bulldozers are tearing into the national park just a mile downstream. CNN is going live on site.
By all appearances, these dozers & excavators are headed straight for Big Bend National Park. This massive staging area just popped up north of Terlingua. Orange trucks appear to be Kiewit/SWVC whose contract spans the national park.
Destruction is plowing full-steam ahead.
I spent my day watching the place I love more than anything in the world be irreversibly destroyed for no reason.
There is not a single logical explanation for what DHS and its contractors are doing to Big Bend. It has become perfectly clear: they are using the destruction of this crown jewel national park as a vehicle to transfer billions of taxpayer dollars into the pockets of these politically connected contractors.
They are sacrificing our public lands so obscenely rich men who have never once set foot here can get even richer. And if they can do it here in Texas' wildest and most beloved national park, they will do it everywhere.
Governor Abbott, Senators Cruz and Cornyn: WHERE ARE YOU?!
When I spoke with CNN about the border wall project, I made my position clear: if the facts on the ground showed a need for a barrier here, I would support it. They don’t.
That isn’t opposition to border security, it’s a recognition that effective border security isn’t one-size-fits-all. Different stretches of the border present different terrain, threats, traffic patterns, and enforcement challenges. What makes sense in one location may not make sense in another.
In the Big Bend, decisions about security and infrastructure should be driven by demonstrated need and the realities on the ground, not simply by applying the same solution to every mile of the border.
This is our home. We know the terrain, we know the challenges, and we know what our communities and law enforcement face every day.
Secure the border with the tools that actually fit the mission.
@SheriffThad Hey @SecretaryBurgum, explain why a Montana firm that poured over $1 million into Trump’s campaign—and walked away with a $7 billion no-bid deal—is right now bulldozing roads through Big Bend National Park?
🚨🚨🚨 An epidemic of suspicious trading has emerged around President Trump's most consequential decisions — each time, just minutes or hours before he rattles global markets, according to exchange data. https://t.co/FRh23BPu65
