On Memorial Day, we pay tribute to the brave men and women in uniform who gave their lives for this country that we love. It is a debt we can never fully repay, but we must never stop trying. I’ll always be grateful to our fallen heroes and their families, whose sacrifice reminds us of what it means to live for something greater than ourselves.
Stephen Colbert was awarded the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award for his advocacy for free speech and speaking truth to power. A fitting honor for a champion of our democracy.
RETWEET to congratulate Colbert on this honor!

What has unfolded in Minneapolis this past month betrays our most basic values as Americans. We are not a nation that guns down our citizens in the street. We are not a nation that allows our citizens to be brutalized for exercising their constitutional rights. We are not a nation that tramples the 4th Amendment and tolerates our neighbors being terrorized. The people of Minnesota have stood strong — helping community members in unimaginable circumstances, speaking out against injustice when they see it, and holding our government accountable to the people. Minnesotans have reminded us all what it is to be American, and they have suffered enough at the hands of this Administration. Violence and terror have no place in the United States of America, especially when it’s our own government targeting American citizens.
No single person can destroy what America stands for and believes in, not even a President, if we — all of America — stand up and speak out. We know who we are. It's time to show the world. More importantly, it's time to show ourselves.
Now, justice requires full, fair, and transparent investigations into the deaths of the two Americans who lost their lives in the city they called home. Jill and I are sending strength to the families and communities who love Alex Pretti and Renee Good as we all mourn their senseless deaths.
So, CBS News decided not to air this 25 yr veteran federal agent pointing out all the ways the ICE agent was in the wrong for shooting Renee Good, on its broadcast (I wonder why🤨).
At least it’s online. Reshare.
AOC: “I understand that VP Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between VP Vance and I. I do not believe the American people should be assassinated in the street.”
When did it become proper weapons handling to have your cell phone in one hand and your gun in the other?
No law enforcement ever trains to get in front of vehicle and why did he continue to shoot even after she drove away.
A US citizen died and the VP is trying to justify it.
No wonder the Feds won’t allow a real investigation.
This is digesting.
Renee Good posed zero threat.
After ICE agent shoots her says: “f*cking b*tch"
America, our rights are under assault. Are we going to stand by & let this continue??
@RepSwalwell Ross was enraged because the hot blonde soccer mom had driven past him.
Ross was humiliated last summer when a different motorist succeeded in evading him. The taunts of fellow officers were likely still ringing in his ears as he grabbed the gun that killed Renee Nicole Good.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey condemns the Trump administration's narrative of a fatal ICE shooting and says his message to the agency is pure and simple, "leave."
Just now in @HouseJudiciary, I broke down the video that shows ICE shooting and killing Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis — proving that Trump and Noem lied about what happened.
We will continue fighting for truth, justice, and accountability.
This moment will stay with me for a long time, when so called "law enforcement" denied a dying woman medical care.
Their "own medics" didn't show up until 15 minutes later. That asshole should be prosecuted too.
