I just can’t comprehend how something you’ve never seen before always happens to Buffalo.

A war that has no domestic or international legal basis. A war that Americans do not support. A war in response to no imminent threat. A pointless war.

Please see the statement below from @ECDOH. Reports circulating in the media are inaccurate regarding the death of Nurul Amin Shah Alam—no cause or manner of death has been determined at this time.
The Medical Examiner’s Office investigation is ongoing and remains pending.

ICE refuses to commit to unmasking every ICE agent and requiring them to wear standard uniforms with identifiable badges.

Democrats, hold the line. The GOP wants continued chaos and violence in our streets. You should not budge on the DHS spending bill.

Imagine millions of Americans replaying your son’s execution on a loop, and then seeing a poll from your fellow citizens and neighbors deciding if he deserved it. We all need to do better.

Only 18% of Americans agree with many of MAGA's biggest influencers

Last 48 Hours: Trump’s horrific Rob Reiner murder tweet, Wiles should-be-career-ending VF interview, Kash on Katie Millers podcast w his gf while a campus shooter is at large, and Hegseth refusing to show Congress the tape of his potential war crimes.

10/10. No notes.

Trump wraps up his batshit news conference by again insisting "DON'T TAKE TYLENOL!"

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

I’m pissed, but mostly I’m just sad for the millions of people who will suffer because of what Republicans did today.

Many, if not most, are Trump voters. And most probably have no idea what this law will actually mean for them.

“Well, that’s what they voted for.“

“They should’ve known better.”

Sure, maybe. But the brunt of the pain will be felt by babies, kids, the elderly, the sick, the disabled, the poor, people who are barely making it, people who fled danger to save their children.

They don’t deserve this cruelty. No one does. Especially not in the richest country on Earth, where people with the most power just used it to make themselves even richer.

Donald Trump’s net worth has grown by $3 billion since January, but Republicans cared more about making him happy than they did about the people who sent them to Washington to make their lives better.

It should enrage all of us, but it should also motivate us to beat the everliving hell out of every last Republican politician in ‘26 and again ‘28.

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

The week began with militarized streets and ended with political violence, but people still came out for one of the biggest protests the country has ever seen.

American flags everywhere. Parents with their kids. Peaceful but not quiet.

Something's happening out there.

[Megan Lavin @LavinMegan]

Only 3.5% of people need to show up to spark real change. That’s it. No pitchforks, just peaceful protest. So stop doomscrolling and start organizing.

Nope, the Trump administration hasn't given up on trying to ban abortion.

Just this week, RFK Jr. pushed a fake report about the abortion medication mifepristone.

He's peddling misinformation so he can lay the groundwork for restricting abortion access no matter where you live.

[Sen. Cory Booker @SenBooker]

Donald Trump is waging an all-out assault on our democracy and rule of law. After openly defying a Supreme Court order, calling for judges to be impeached, and bullying and belittling judges when he doesn’t like their decisions, today the FBI took the extreme and dangerous step arresting a sitting judge.

This will not stop with immigration enforcement—this will be Trump’s playbook for punishing judges when they don’t fall in line. Our nation’s system of separation of powers has stood up to tyrants and despots before, but the grievous threat we face today demands we in our generation act. We all must stand up to ensure that these attempts to threaten and intimidate the judiciary into submission will not succeed.
