“Senator Van Hollen would be an amazing majority leader – and I say majority on purpose.”
Progressive Michigan Senate candidate @AbdulElSayed tells @mehdirhasan why he thinks Senator Chris Van Hollen should replace Chuck Schumer as majority leader.
Elon Musk lies and claims that not one child has died because he decided to destroy USAID and feed it "into the wood chipper." @NickKristof went to South Sudan and Uganda and saw for himself. Share this to push back on Musk's gaslighting.
#BREAKING: Maj. Gen. Nitzan Alon, Israel's chief hostage negotiator, says that hostages held by Hamas could have "come back alive" but the Netanyahu government repeatedly turned down truce deals on the altar of "the lie" of "total victory."

Eddie Glaude: “Stephen Miller is a racist. He’s a white nationalist. White nationalists have seized the federal government. Great Replacement Theory motivates this immigration policy. We need to call them for what they are. This is a white nationalist agenda and Stephen Miller and all of these folk are just simply rabid racists”
The geniuses at ICE just arrested a Catholic nun, who practices as a nurse, as she was walking to church.
Our Republican colleagues think they need even more money.
Had enough?

Trump's lawyers asked for E. Jean Carroll's consent to delay the $5 million awarded to her.
Carroll's lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, informed Trump's team that "Carroll does not consent."
Kaplan says Carroll wants the immediate disbursement of the funds she has waited years to receive.
DSA candidate, Melat Kiros, has defeated a 29-year incumbent in her primary for Colorado's 1st House

🚨BREAKING: In Las Vegas, ICE agents illegally entered a flooring business’s private property without a warrant, refused to leave when the owner demanded they get off his property, and then threatened to tase him.
In the video, the business owner repeatedly tells the agents to leave. But, instead of leaving, one agent arrogantly responds that they’ll leave “when we’re done.”
That’s not how the Constitution works.
If law enforcement doesn’t have a valid judicial warrant, they can’t force their way onto private commercial property in order to conduct a search… and they certainly don’t get to ignore the property owner’s demand for them to leave.
As the agents are finally walking away, one agent turns around and starts threatening the owner, and his employees.
The owner immediately asks, “Are you threatening us? Are you going to shoot us?”
That’s when the agent puts his hand on his taser… and pulls it out.
The agent tries to say he is giving them a “warning.”
Brandishing a weapon to intimidate someone, who is standing on their own property demanding that government agents leave, is the definition of a constitutional violation.
Which is exactly why the Fourth Amendment exists… to protect people from unreasonable government searches and seizures.
And when someone verbally tells government officials to leave their property, that speech is also protected by the First Amendment.
So, pulling a taser on the owner, while standing on HIS private property, as he tells you to leave, is not a “warning”… it is a threat.
Government agents don’t get to invent authority they don’t have. They don’t get to threaten people, especially while standing on private property. And they don’t get to ignore the Constitution because they think no one will hold them accountable.
If they actually had a warrant, they would’ve shown it.
Instead, they left.
The great-grandson of Wong Kim Ark, whose 1898 case established birthright citizenship, reacts to today's SCOTUS decision:
"He was one man, only a cook, and yet he stood up for what was right... Today's ruling shows that his victory remains as important now as it was in 1898."
Elon Musk says deaths in Africa DECREASED after USAID funding was cut, calling claims otherwise “total bullshit.”
(Multiple studies estimate that the USAID cuts have already contributed to hundreds of thousands of deaths)
Voter: I love the United States, I'm a true patriot. I'm staying here and I'm sticking with it and I will fight the fascists who are in charge of the federal government.
