When people in Washington lower their voices and say, “Please don’t use my name. I’m afraid he’ll come after my family’s livelihood,” it means something has broken. People no longer trust the law to protect them.

@mcuban @elonmusk Terrible take.

There's absolutely nothing that justifies the valuation of SpaceX or Tesla, and there's open fraud and market manipulation happening on the daily by and for the Rich.

Tax the rich, every billionaire is a policy failure.

As far as I can tell, Tulsi’s big “secret biolab” bombshell is recycled Kremlin propaganda. These labs were never secret.

The U.S. spent decades funding biosafety and disease-surveillance work abroad under Nunn-Lugar, with the facility lists posted publicly by the State Department and our own embassy in Kyiv.

Russia invented the “secret bioweapons” spin in 2022 to help justify invading Ukraine. Our own intelligence flagged it as disinformation. Now Tulsi is laundering that exact line, while conveniently forgetting the first Trump administration funded this same research.

Nothing was hidden and the only thing being manufactured here is the coverup.

Tulsi, don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

Since taking office, Ken Paxton has become a multi-millionaire while our pay has stagnated.

He owns 11 homes while most Texans can’t afford one.

He trades favors with rich donors while blocking overtime pay for workers.

Paxton doesn’t serve us — he serves himself.

After a Marine died by suicide, members of the unit raised concerns about leadership. Leaked audio obtained by The War Horse shows the response: a two-hour meeting in which the first sergeant and the commanding officer berated Marines for speaking up.⁠ https://t.co/DClcATUjnS

@colorblindk1d @infocraving @ByChrisGordon So, how useful is an Air War Command center if you have to vacate it before starting hostilities because it isn't secure enough?

@DanPatrick @KenPaxtonTX @realDonaldTrump Such a ridiculously staged photo.

Your faux "that's so interesting" look and Paxton's perma-sleaze smirk while tRump stares blankly ahead, completely oblivious to your presence.

There is no world in which this is okay.  

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito did not recuse himself from cases involving Trump’s Treasury Department while his own son was secretly working there as a political appointee and attorney. 

His son's employment was hidden so thoroughly that his name appears nowhere on the Treasury Department website, he has no public resume, and his bar listings are outdated. 

If Alito had recused himself, the secret would have come out. He didn’t recuse himself. 

This is a clear conflict of interest, and the American people deserved to know about it. 

The federal recusal standard is clear: a justice must step aside in any case where there is a reasonable basis to question whether he or she can be impartial. A justice ruling on cases involving the department where his son works fails that test. The Treasury Department sits at the center of some of the biggest legal fights of this administration, and challenges to Trump’s $1.776 billion January 6 slush fund could be headed to the Court next. 

The Supreme Court is the only court in America with no binding code of conduct. That is completely unacceptable, and it has to change NOW. 

Congress controls the Power of the Purse, and therefore the Court’s funding. If the Court will not adopt a binding code of conduct with real recusal review on their own, I support withholding their funding until they do.

NEW AD: Meet Ken Paxton — the most corrupt politician in America.

He’s gotten away with it for years.

That ends this November.

“On Memorial Day I also think of a long lost great uncle I never met, my maternal grandmother’s brother, Rodger. He joined the Merchant Marines during World War II and on D-Day his assignment, along with his fellow mariners, was to sink the older ships called ‘corncobs’ that were sailing in the waters off of Normandy.

A 1,000 yards from shore they would sink ships to provide a secret breakwater for Allied amphibious landing craft; creating an artificial temporary bulwark against the waves (codename Gooseberry).

After scuttling their own vessels, they were then instructed to tread water until a fellow Merchant Marine ship rescued them. As the horrors of the D-Day invasion unfolded before his youthful, wide open eyes, my great uncle spent many hours treading water, unarmed, but that ship never came.

I cannot imagine the death and destruction he witnessed; the sights and sounds of abject horror as he struggled to stay afloat in the salty water, and the helpless nature of his circumstance. Watching so many fellow countrymen cut down as soon as they hit the beach, along with our Allied partners who fought as mightily and sacrificed just as profoundly.

All he could do was to keep from drowning - and bear witness to the infernal operation, the largest amphibious invasion in world history. He also unwittingly saw the frightful beginning of the end of the Nazi takeover of Western Europe.

Hard fought hope, springing and sprinting forth from hell itself.

The brave young men who kept storming those beaches that infamous day, and who served in the skies above, in wave after wave of lethal determination, did so knowing most of them would not come home.

All it takes is a visit to the fields above Omaha Beach to realize the enormity and finality of their sacrifice.

The rows of white crosses seem endless at the Normandy American Cemetery; 9,389 graves in Colleville-sur-Mer, France. Another 1,557 names inscribed on the Walls of the Missing.

They were climbing those hallowed cliffs into eternity. This is the true cost of freedom.

My great uncle was eventually pulled from the roiling and bloody waters later that evening and made it back home after the war ended.

He spent his first year back in Springfield, Massachussets sleeping in a graveyard every night, with a horse as his only companion, before eventually drifting away from my grandmother’s family altogether.

She would get a call from him out of the blue on Christmas Day sometimes, but as the years wore on those calls eventually stopped coming. My great uncle never got over that fateful day. He may have carried his own demons into battle, which would only have been amplified in the horror. As we know all too well now, the costs of war lasts long after the shooting stops.

That is why it is so insulting and dangerous to have such unworthy men in charge of our nation’s military actions.” https://t.co/p29tEOD78C

I received word that some liberal nonprofits and political consultants are trying to work with establishment Democrats on a political strategy to expand surveillance, militarized policing, immigration detention, and overall imprisonment with re-branded language. Lots of words like "community" thrown in there. This would be a catastrophic moral failure, but also an unbelievable strategic error given how unpopular repression is.  Those of us who want to see a more equal, more just, more safe society must do everything in our power to call thee people out and stop them, and we will.

Over 50 years later, this anti-Vietnam War PSA still rings true.

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

This claim is a LIE. Congress created adjustment of status in 1960. It's not a loophole. In fact, @USCIS's OWN WEBSITE says that getting a green card from inside the United States was expressly intended by Congress!

Just wait; give it 24 hours and they'll erase that history.

Ustedes me secuestraron en altamar. En la cárcel me separaron del grupo, me metieron a un contenedor, me esposaron, botaron al piso y me golpearon por más de tres horas hasta causarme una conmoción cerebral.
Esos son sus valores, estas fotos sólo son propaganda
