Ms. Rachel: I've had the honor of meeting with 10 absolutely precious children their wonderful families who have been locked in Dilley Immigration Detention Center in Texas. A prison that is neglecting, abusing, and traumatizing kids. There is no safe amount of time for a child to be in detention. Dilley immigration detention center must be shut down. We need to end the cruel policies of family detention and family separation.
Families are going hungry while tax breaks are handed out to the wealthiest people in this country.
This is the most corrupt administration in American history.
#BREAKING: Psaki: “This week we also learned that despite the #UFC insisting that they will foot the bill for this whole thing, US taxpayers do appear to be subsidizing the event. A spokesperson for Washington DC told ESPN that the city expects to incur somewhere between $10-$12 million in supplemental security costs which will be paid for by a federal fund aka your tax dollars.” 🙄
Leaked memos reveal the Trump administration nearly suspended the constitutional right of habeas corpus for undocumented immigrants, which would remove their ability to challenge ICE detention.
How things are going in Trump's Washington: The reflecting pool is now green of algae and the attempt of paint over "86 47" has made it even more visible in the grass. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Robert De Niro: I'm pretty close to being a free speech absolutist. Even speech I don't like. But when I hear something I don't like, I use my own free speech to respond. When I hear Trump say, "I don't think about Americans' financial situation." I say, "shut the fuck up."
Good morning and Happy Monday to everyone who agrees that it is dumb for trump to claim victory for ending a war HE STARTED, which leaves us worse off than the deal President Obama had.
The Strait of Hormuz was open BEFORE your war of choice, idiot.
Can’t help but notice all the people who said Obama would desecrate the White House with Escalades and rap music on the South Lawn are absolutely loving this UFC fight on the South Lawn.
Probably just a coincidence.
A bombshell NYT article just dropped with shocking new information from inside the Oval Office over the past year.
According to the Times, in April of last year, Stephen Miller — a known proponent of Project 2025 and the Heritage Foundation's "unitary executive theory" — proposed that the White House simply pretend Trump had "the power to suspend habeas corpus." However, a loyalist attorney shut him down.
After ICE gunned two American citizens down in cold blood in Minneapolis earlier this year, JD Vance also floated invoking the Insurrection Act, per the Times.
Even legal counsel Will Scharf, described by the paper as an "arch-conservative lawyer serving as the White House staff secretary," sought to quash the unconstitutional proposals, as detailed in several top-secret memos.
"But the documents reflected alarm among a small group of senior aides," the Times wrote.
"[White House insiders] felt that Mr. Miller’s eagerness to test the limits of executive power — and to accuse other branches of encroaching on it, echoing a president who bristled at any constraint — risked steering the administration, and the country, in a dangerous direction."
This administration is looking for any opportunity to unlawfully seize power as their coalition collapses and their support tanks in real time.
November is rapidly approaching, and they know it may be now or never — but that is not a given. Remember this when you vote.

De Niro: I hate to say it, but loving our country is starting to sound like an abused spouse saying they love their abuser.
I can’t love a country that starts stupid and inhumane wars, killing thousands of innocents and indirectly causing the deaths and suffering of millions more.
I can’t love a country that takes healthcare away from millions of people and uses that money to enrich their pals in the Trump-Epstein class.
I can’t love a country that sends out masked militias to shoot citizens in the streets, torture our neighbors, and separate families.
I can’t love a country that’s led by a racist, misogynist, xenophobic tyrant.
And let me just say it: I can’t love a country that’s led by Donald Trump and his sycophant Congress.
ICE has no authority to detain U.S. citizens. But yet, Trump has let them operate lawlessly, and they have detained citizens for days and weeks at a time.
I introduced an amendment to finally put an end to this.
