ICE agents have shot at least nine other people just since September, killing one.

Under Trump, this violence is rewarded with fat bonuses and student loan forgiveness — while nurses, teachers, and everyone else struggles to get by.

We must never become numb to his cruelty.

Kelly: When Trump was driving the Taj Mahal Casino into bankruptcy, I was being shot at over Iraq…. When Trump was writing birthday greetings to Epstein, I was the first on the scene to recover the bodies of my fellow astronauts… When Trump was peddling conspiracy theories against President Obama, I was sitting next to my wife’s hospital bed… I’ve been through a lot worse in service to my country. The President and Pete Hegseth are not going to silence me.

During the shutdown, the Senate approved adding $32B to Trump's already record breaking $1 trillion Pentagon budget.

The Senate still hasn't voted on extending ACA subsidies — which would cost $35B.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

🚨 JD Vance just claimed that when settlers arrived in the New World, they “found widespread child sacrifice,” adding that “Christian civilization ended the practice.”

Archaeologists, including those specializing in North American history, are calling this a flat-out lie. There is no evidence of widespread child sacrifice among First Nations.

To say that about Indigenous people is historically false, deeply racist, and disgustingly revisionist.

Trump's mass deportations aren't just pointlessly cruel.

His own Labor Department is now warning they are "threatening the stability of domestic food production and prices" for Americans.

We should be offering the people who feed us a path out of the shadows — not demonizing them.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Trump has frozen or canceled $28B in funding for infrastructure projects in Democratic congressional districts.

Meanwhile, representatives of those districts are fighting to extend ACA subsidies — more than half of which go to people in GOP-held districts.

Remember this.

No, Speaker Johnson:

The No Kings Rally on October 18 is not a “hate America” rally.

Quite the contrary.

It’s a rally of millions of people who believe in American freedom and are not going to allow you and President Trump to turn us into an authoritarian country.

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify family.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

Mother called local police to file a report—but even they couldn't find out he was in ICE custody until 6 days later.

It's especially worrying because the 15-year-old boy reportedly functions "like a 4-year-old child" due to his autism.

He is currently still detained at the detention center in Houston, Texas. #DemsUnited

Letitia James. Adam Schiff. Both accused of breaking the law. But Ken Paxton takes it further. Luxury cabins, mortgage violations, rental scams. As Attorney General, he should prosecute fraud—not profit from it.

@BrianCarniello1 @JDVance Would someone please tell JD Vance and DJ Trump that Kamala Harris is currently the Vice President, not the current president. I’ve gotten really tired of them asking why she hasn’t done this, that, & the other for the past three and a half years, and blaming her for other things

BREAKING: Barack Obama is set to endorse Kamala Harris for President.

It’s truly appalling that yesterday the NY Post published a seemingly dubious story claiming that Obama would not endorse Harris because he doesn't believe she can win.

This is a blatant falsehood. Obama has a history of endorsing candidates later in the race. In 2020, similar stories circulated questioning why Obama wasn't endorsing Biden. Even after Biden became the clear nominee, Obama waited 6 more days to endorse him. He prefers to remain neutral until the general election.

The NY Post and prominent Republicans spread this malicious lie hoping to undermine the Harris campaign. It didn't work.

Below is a discussion between Harris and Obama, following Obama's endorsement of Biden/Harris in 2020.
