JUST IN: I’m working with @SenAdamSchiff, @RepJuanVargas, @RepSaraJacobs, @RepMikeLevin, and @RepScottPeters to find this 8-YEAR-OLD boy that was taken by ICE.

WHERE IS THIS CHILD? Who is this little boy a threat to? And why the hell are we spending our taxpayer dollars on UN-AMERICAN, VILE things like this.

I will not rest until we find this child.

Could journalists please investigate the credible reports of multiple women becoming pregnant while in ICE CUSTODY?

1. How could that happened?
2. Were ICE officers directly involved?
3. What happens to those babies when they're born?
4. What charges could be filed against ICE?

If one is serious about enhancing security in Europe, the single most important reform would be new leadership in the Kremlin. That change would strengthen the security of all countries, including Russia.

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

NATO has never attacked the Soviet Union or Russia.

Ukraine has never threatened Russian security.

Putin calling for new security guarantees for Russia is complete nonsense.

Before he launched his full-scale invasion of Ukraine, many -- including me -- suggested reforms for enhancing European security. He rejected them. He wanted war instead.

Congressman: Pearl Harbor was bombed on December 7th, 1941. How long did it take for the US to have its first major victory in World War II in the Pacific theater?

Pete Hegseth: A number of years.

Congressman: No, it was actually 6 months. It was the Battle of Midway. It was a turning point of World War II.

I don’t know why this needs to be said, but people who send their kids to private schools should not be serving on public school boards.

[Andy Kim @AndyKimNJ]

Thanks @maddow and @jonstewart for covering MediKids! There are over four million kids without health insurance, tens of millions without adequate coverage. My MediKids bill would give coverage to every kid so no parent has to worry about affording healthcare for their children.

Your stomach contains hydrochloric acid. Your cells produce hydrogen peroxide. Your body makes formaldehyde.

And you’re worried about chemicals?
You ARE chemicals.

If donald trump is so good at trading stocks how come he didn't make as much money in stocks before he became president???

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

This is the second time. In a lawsuit he filed, knowing this would happen. The first time, the election was his excuse. Hopefully the Judge won’t tolerate this again.

[FSI Stanford @FSIStanford]

"A dangerous fatalism is settling in that Trumpism represents a new and enduring approach to international politics and America’s place in the world. This analysis is flawed."

It took the US 35 years to gain measles elimination status

It took just two years of RFK Jr and MAHA to lose it

Truly pathetic stuff

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

Last week ICE agents used restraints while detaining an eight year-old child when he showed up for a scheduled immigration appointment.

There is no excuse for traumatizing a child and taking him away from his community and his classmates.

ICE's brutal enforcement tactics have to stop. My colleagues and I are demanding answers on why he was detained and with such cruelty.

This is a real question. Doesn’t anybody love this guy enough to get help for him I say this at 40 years sober.

The FAA is using AI to maximize efficiencies for flights with its SMART system but can’t figure out a way to streamline raises for the air traffic controllers that keep our skies safe? 🤔

Prioritize people. Release the raises.

CBS heavily edited Trump's interview on 60 Minutes. The black and white clips did not appear in Sunday night's broadcast. The network removed sections where Trump made false claims and fabrications. This is part of his explanation about the war in Ukraine.

[Kelly Allen @kellakelWV]

There are about to be many more stories like this.

"McCreary, 64, was told that his benefits now required that he have a job. "I don't understand what job I can get," McCreary said. "I can't walk. I can hardly breathe. What job am I going to get?"

Let it be known that Hegseth ordered the execution of men in the ocean that were asking for Mercy, a violation of the Geneva Conference of 1949.

I saw this clip on @reggiebblue's page and pulled it for myself because it almost looked fake. Nope! It's real. What in the heck is going on with Don Jr's eyes? I don't think I've ever seen someone look this high on camera before.

I worked as a stage manager at Webster Hall. Although I’m Straight Edge myself I’m extremely familiar with what nightclub folks call “Coke eyes” or “Coke face”

It’s a hell of a drug.
