Chuck Schumer finally gets around to commenting on Venezuela, saying: “The administration has assured me three separate times that it was not pursuing regime change or taking military action in Venezuela.”
Jesus Christ not everything is a ‘distraction’ and referring to this illegal attack on a sovereign nation as such is actually quite vile and reprehensible.
🚨 Chris Murphy when asked about possible military strikes on Venezuela: "It's pretty clear it's just an effort to distract people from the rising prices and the Epstein scandal. No one wants a war with Venezuela ... and by the way, it's wildly illegal."
Everyone with two brain cells knew this would happen, but mainstream democrats don’t actually want to fight for change, they just like that they can fundraise off the empty promise that they will fight for change.
I have photos inside the Cinerama Dome taken this week (I can’t share publicly yet) it’s very depressing. It’s now Q2 2025, I would like an update… @DEADLINE

Jeanne Shaheen
I'm joining 13 of my colleagues to demand that the Trump Administration immediately releases Mahmoud Khalil. Their illegal actions set a dangerous precedent. We cannot allow them to shred our constitutional rights to free speech and due process. Free Mahmoud Khalil.
Democrats should be doing everything in their power to completely separate themselves from republicans and avoid giving them any rewards of bipartisanship, but apparently a war criminal photo opportunity is just too good to pass up

I would have voted yes. They called a procedural vote without notice & I like 8 others didn’t make it there on time. Musk’s attacks on our institutions are unconstitutional. He should be subpoenaed & answer to our committee. They should call the vote again with notice.

Latinos warned for months Emilia Pérez was a disaster. Now, after its star’s disgrace, Hollywood is scrambling. But the real issue isn’t just bad tweets—it’s how the film sidelined the very people it claims to represent.

58 Democrats helped Republicans pass the Laken Riley Act, which will enable Trump's ICE to put migrants *accused* of shoplifting in detention, without due process.
As in, with Trump's new call to detain 30,000 migrants in Guantanamo, these Democrats may help put them there:
At some point the democrats have to come to terms with the fact that they create the conditions which have allowed this fascist president to operate. Obama and Biden leaving it open is more than just a moral failing, it was an opening for Trump to abuse it
BREAKING: Donald Trump says he's directing the opening of a detention center at Guantanamo Bay to hold up to 30,000 migrants in the U.S. illegally. https://t.co/rJvpWb1aQe
Last night, Trump ordered a halt to all federal grant funding—taking money out of the pockets of families for essential food, housing, and disaster recovery assistance.
Why?
Because Trump's loyalty to his billionaire base must always come at the expense of the American people.
Crime is high enough that we need all these cops, yet just low enough that all these cops can be in one place - union busting. Excellent use of tax dollars
