Markwayne Mullin says ICE is only getting rid of "murderers, pedophiles, rapists, and gang members". Which one of those categories do these babies fall in??
The Republican Party quietly deleted their own ad attacking Ken Paxton's record on crime... because Paxton is now the Republican Party's nominee to represent Texas in the U.S. Senate.
Figured if the ad is important enough to delete, it's important enough to see...
Holy shit, trump and Republicans have been lying to our faces about gas prices coming down quickly...
They're going to take SIX YEARS just to get back to where it was when Joe Biden left office, $3.10.
How is this not a bigger story?
A constituent reached out recently. Her daughter has cancer and she can't afford gas to drive 300 miles roundtrip for treatment. Meanwhile, Trump wants to spend $1B on a gilded ballroom at the White House. What does that say about his priorities?
We still haven’t had a real hearing on the rise of white supremacist violence, the lives lost, or the extremist groups empowered by dangerous Republican rhetoric.
But somehow, Republicans found time to hold a hearing claiming the Southern Poverty Law Center is “manufacturing hate.”
Meanwhile, they’re defending an almost $2 billion taxpayer-funded slush fund that could put money in the pockets of January 6 extremists — including people tied to white supremacist groups that attacked our democracy.
Y’all can miss me with the performative outrage.
Yes folks, we are still having primary elections in Alabama on Tuesday, May 19th and I would appreciate your vote for Governor. Lots of noise out there but the election will go on. Your vote is your voice so make it heard. Vote May 19 and let’s change Alabama.

This man is clearly not well.
Luis Fernando Cabrera wakes up early to take his nephew to daycare.
He stays late working 40 hours a week at Popeyes to help his family make rent.
He's a high school senior who should be about to graduate.
Instead, he's sitting in ICE detention because of a traffic stop.
Republican leaders in Montgomery wasted $400,00 of taxpayer money on a special session to give themselves more power. They haven’t done anything to make our lives better. It’s why so many Alabamians want change and will be sending them a message: Change is coming! Vote May 19th.
When he lies like this, remember that it's the entire party of your Republican representatives who will nod along and lie to your face with him. They're for him, not for you. Vote accordingly in November.
The Republican supermajority in the AL legislature has demonstrated time and time again that they only care about absolute power. This deeply disturbing footage shot yesterday by State Sen. Merika Coleman proved it once and for all.
INCREDIBLE!
Washington Post journalist Hannah Natanson who had Trump’s FBI raid her home and take her phones and laptops, just won the Pulitzer Prize with the Washington Post.
Congrats!!
🔥 Rep. @brotherjones_ to @WilliamLamberth: “I just wanted to look you in the eye and tell you you’ll be in the history books with George Wallace and Bull Connor, and your children will be ashamed of where you stand by presenting these racist maps. You all are out of order for bringing us back here for this racist special session.”
Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach.
The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.
Strange how Kash Patel and Todd Blanche can look at seashells on a beach and decided to dig further but see emails with grown men discussing raping kids and decided that there's nothing there.
