In America today, we rank 34th out of 35 countries in childhood poverty and millions of children are food insecure.
Maybe, just maybe, my Republican colleagues would consider holding a single hearing about how we improve the lives of American kids.
Today marks the anniversary of the death of Ruhollah Khomeini, founder of Iran’s theocratic regime.
After taking power in 1979, Khomeini oversaw a sweeping crackdown on political dissent.
Less than a year before his death on June 3, 1989, he issued the fatwa that led to the #1988Massacre of 30,000 political prisoners, the majority of them members and supporters of the PMOI.
He is now remembered as one of history's most bloodthirsty and cruel dictators
Pay attention.
Late last night the Trump-packed Supreme Court issued an UNSIGNED order to help Republicans erase Black voters and keep a congressional seat.
The Court's legitimacy is earned and they are burning it to the ground.
MAGA is rigging our democracy in real time!
Here’s Fuckface going full Hitler, calling the press the “enemy of the people” because he’s a miserable fucking failure & gets all butthurt if anyone asks a real question. But the child-raping sack of shit’s got it all wrong. HE is the enemy of the people.

Former US Ambassador to Ukraine🇺🇦
"What I saw in Ukraine was horrifying. Russia launched missiles and drones at men, women and children sleeping in their homes, tried to take down the energy grid for millions of Ukrainians, and committed war crimes and atrocities at a level we haven't seen since WW2.
I resigned because the policy was to put pressure on the victim, Ukraine, rather than on the aggressor, Russia.
Respect to this woman 🫡
Despite being under Republican control, the House just defied President Trump on the Iran war.
No amount of lying or bullying by the White House can make Americans forget we're paying for a senseless war.
Now even some GOP Members of Congress are recognizing they ultimately answer to us - not him.
Keep up the pressure.
Secretary Bessent won't admit that it's a conflict of interest for President Trump to trade stocks at the same time he makes decisions affecting those stocks.
He knows better.
Diese verdammten barbarischen blutrünstigen sadistischen terroristischen faschistoiden mörderischen monströsen brutalen wahnsinnigen miesen 💩 Bastarde widerwärtige Kreaturen- Ausgeburten der Hölle sind das ‼️🤮🤬👇
Keine Szenen aus einem Horrorfilm, sondern aus der Realität der Ukraine.
Russische Streitkräfte bombardieren weiterhin Kostjantyniwka in der Region Donezk mit verbotener Phosphormunition.
Dutzende brennende Elemente gehen über Wohnvierteln nieder. Weißer Phosphor entzündet sich bei Kontakt mit Sauerstoff und brennt bei extrem hohen Temperaturen; er löst großflächige Brände aus und hinterlässt eine Spur der Zerstörung.

Putin is behaving with the desperate barbarism of a man who is going to lose. He will never conquer Ukraine. He needs to admit that to himself - and save many thousands of lives on both sides.
Taxing 50% of AI companies' stock to ensure that AI benefits humanity isn't radical, but let me tell you what is:
Since Trump was elected, the 7 richest men in America, all Big Tech oligarchs, became $1.15 trillion richer while 60% live paycheck to paycheck.
That's radical.
For the last 57 years, 60 Minutes has displayed some of the most courageous investigative journalism on the air.
Now, with Trump’s billionaire crony David Ellison owning CBS, that tradition is being destroyed.
This is what happens with increased oligarch control over the media.
In 2024, Trump kept saying that he "didn't need votes." Elon said he'd "go to prison" if Trump lost, and knew the election results 4 hours early. His 4 year old son said that Trump really wasn't the President, and "they'll never know." Russia sent over 67 bomb threats to swing state election offices, in blue districts, on 11/05/24. On 12/30/24, Biden imposed sanctions on Russia and Iran for "election meddling." CIA whistleblowers say they participated in an audit that showed the election was rigged, and Harris won. Yet, the results weren't contested. Winning all 7 swing states at the rates Trump did was like winning the lottery 7 times in a row. Many Democratic votes weren't counted, and Harris' name was removed from the ballots in Rockland County, NY, spurring a lawsuit. In 2025, Trump stated on camera, at least 3 times, that the 2024 election was "rigged" for him, and thanked Elon for "knowing those vote counting computers." Elon posted that Trump and some GOP members of Congress "wouldn't have won" without him. His ex-girlfriend has now revealed text messages about how he used "space lasers" to rig the election. We all know Musk owns Starlink, and we've been told it was used in the election. Yet, even knowing that Trump and the GOP are openly trying to rig 2026, our Democratic lawmakers refuse to conduct an investigation into the 2024 election. None of them have ever said anything about it. I have no idea why, but it's unacceptable. The truth will eventually come out, and they will lose the support of their constituents, and probably even their jobs (if 2026 is rigged). The Trump Regime and GOP pose a significant threat to America and its democracy. Even though Democrats hold a minority in Congress, they need to fight, tooth and nail, to save us! THEY MUST FINALLY BREAK THE SILENCE! DEMAND IT!
Donald Trump is still illegally withholding the full release of the Epstein files.
This ongoing cover-up is a disgrace to the victims.
The pedophile protection party needs to release the Epstein files now.
