A 25-year-old U.S. citizen was deported to Mexico by ICE after a traffic stop in Texas. His attorney says he had a U.S. birth certificate, Social Security card, and hospital records proving his citizenship, but agents refused to review them before deporting him.

Stevens NEEDS to lose this primary so badly. We need a complete rebuke of nasty tactics like this, tricking voters into thinking you have endorsements that you don't, pointless centrism, and supporting limitless aid to a foreign country committing crimes against humanity.

[Remington Hernandez @TheDailyRem]

The Stevens campaign just sent out a press release meant to look like a release from El-Sayed's campaign - claiming Mike Rogers has endorsed El-Sayed.

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE CLEAR: NO MORE U.S. AID TO ISRAEL

Today, the U.S. House of Representatives will vote on an amendment introduced by Rep. Thomas Massie to cut the $3.3 billion in annual U.S. military aid to Israel. I strongly support this amendment.

Israel, like any other country, had the right to defend itself against the horrific terrorist attack by Hamas on October 7, 2023, which killed 1,200 innocent people. But it did not have the right to go to war against the entire Palestinian population. It did not have the right to kill more than 73,000 Palestinians and wound over 173,000 more — the vast majority of them women, children and the elderly. It did not have the right to destroy virtually the entire infrastructure of Gaza — the schools, the health facilities, the water systems, wastewater plants, the electric grid that a civilian population depends on to survive. It did not have the right to destroy or damage 92% of all housing units in Gaza. In other words, Israel did not have the right to commit genocide. And it did not have the right to escalate its violence and annexation of the West Bank while the world's attention was focused elsewhere.

Tragically, almost five months ago, Israel, with strong support from the Trump administration, launched a reckless and illegal war against Iran — a war that has killed thousands of people and left an already unstable region of the world even more unstable. That war expanded into Lebanon, where Israeli strikes have now killed more than 4,000 people and displaced some 20% of the entire Lebanese population. That is not "defending Israel". These are regional wars of expansion and terror, waged without a clear strategy, and without an end in sight.

The American people are catching on. Polls show that nearly three-quarters of Democratic voters now oppose sending military aid to Israel, as do more than one-third of Republican voters. Just 16% of all Americans support giving Israel unconditional aid.

And I am proud that this past April, 40 out of 47 Senate Democrats — a record number — supported my bill to block arms sales to the far-right, extremist Netanyahu government.

We have enormous unmet needs in our own country. Today, while 60% of our people are living paycheck to paycheck, tens of millions of Americans cannot afford housing, healthcare, childcare and other basic needs. Congress must focus on the needs of their constituents, not an Israeli government that is undermining American values. I urge my colleagues in the House to vote yes on the Massie amendment.

There is no such thing as absolute immunity. The vice president is trying to tell us the president’s personal military can kill people without consequence.

People just believe anything huh

@frizzerizzerPM @USA_Polling No shade but are there really people who believe that a Democrat is winning a SC senate seat in 2026? I have to know why people are buying this position.

I’m tired of people acting like someone’s life matters less because they weren’t an American on paper. He spent 35 years here, raised three American children, and built his life in Houston. He was an American in every way that mattered.

Killing discs in the middle of a storage cost crisis where you can only fit like four games on a drive to begin with is quite the move. See Xbox just cutting its 2TB model since it costs too much

If you own a restaurant, I am begging you to have your menu on your website. Do not force people to start an online order just to view it. I just want to know if you serve queso. I shouldn’t have to select a location, pickup time, and my astrological sign just to find out.

It's actually mind-boggling that @JDVance would say Watergate would be a "10 hour story" today.
Just to review, Nixon's aides authorized a break-in of the DNC HQ to install bugging equipment--in a caper foiled by a night watchman, who called police. They then enlisted the CIA to mislead the FBI that the break-in was related to a probe of malign foreign actors.
The entire operation was paid for by a slush fund controlled by the WH.
The WH also enlisted the IRS to probe hundreds of Nixon's political enemies.
The AG, the WH COS and several other top aides all were convicted and served time for their involvement in the crimes and coverup.
Nixon was caught on his own secret tape system conspiring with them but was pardoned a month after he resigned by his successor, Gerald Ford.
That Vance thinks this would be a "10 hour story" today speaks volumes about the moral and ethical degradation of the Trump era.
