The Republican controlled #sdleg had 2 options in 2016 to fund raises for teachers. They chose the one that most benefited millionaires, & most burdened working low & middle income families. And the one least sustainable. https://t.co/ygqVFWbrti
This is exactly what everybody should have been saying to Donald's face, publicly and privately, since 2015, because he can't handle being told the truth about himself--that he is an unaccomplished, failed loser.
And there it is. Just as I predicted. They’re canceling Congress tomorrow to avoid the vote on IMPEACHING @SecWar. It will also make it harder for us to reach 218 signatures on the Epstein Discharge Petition before the election. We were at 190+ signatures last night.
And so here we are. This statement from Trump blows my mind. That a sitting president would not let any renovations to a public building go on unless he gets to first put his name in the said building… What a sad state of affairs. What a tragedy. Actually, how small minded, how narcissistic. Actually
great men, devoted to public service and the public good do not act like this.
It seems that this man will not rest until his name is permanently connected to the name of a great president, whose memory this building was dedicated to. Imagine spending your time and your days focused on this, as everyday Americans struggle with healthcare, gas prices, rent, and food. Imagine spending your days focused on this, while a war rages under your leadership.
Enough said. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Don Jr needed a Russian oligarch, two islands, and a fireworks show. I got married on the rooftop of an apartment building in West Hollywood. It was so much cooler.
Garcia: So, to be clear, we have a president that is $2 billion richer just from this last year. We have a son whose wedding is being paid for by rich Russians and oligarchs that have connections to Putin. We have Jared Kushner, who got $2 billion for his investment firm from the Saudis while also doing diplomacy in the Middle East.
We have the Kushners who are trying to buy private islands and selling all sorts of merchandise that’s being promoted, oftentimes through government resources. We also have, of course, this insane amount of stock trading that the president himself is doing to enrich himself and his family.
And, of course, the sons sitting on boards of private companies that are then getting contracts from the federal government. The amount of corruption is unprecedented. And not only are they lining their pockets, they’re stealing the wealth of hardworking Americans, they’re stealing the hard-earned labor and wealth of working-class people, and then funneling that money to themselves and to the rich donors and large corporations and CEOs across this country.
As they get richer, costs go up for the American people. And we know that Republicans in the House and in the Senate are complicit by not calling out this corruption.
The Daily Beast identifies the public demand for answers, but overlooks the central institutional issue. Senate Standing Rule VI states that “No Senator shall absent himself from the service of the Senate without leave,” while Article I, Section 5 of the Constitution authorizes the Senate to compel attendance and discipline its members.
There is also precedent. After Senator Karl Mundt suffered a debilitating stroke in 1969, Senate leaders intervened and removed him from his committee assignments. Therefore, the question extends beyond demanding a “proof-of-life” photograph or video: Why has Senate Majority Leader John Thune not publicly explained whether McConnell’s prolonged absence was formally authorized, whether McConnell remains capable of directing his office, and what institutional action the Senate is taking? The American people deserve transparency and accountable representation.
Republican New Hampshire Senate candidate John Sununu says he supports a work requirement for seniors on Medicare:
"I certainly support a work requirement for able-bodied Medicare recipients."
🚨🚨🚨I post this video every day so we NEVER forget what insurrectionist Donald Trump did on J6
Instead of accepting defeat and honoring the peaceful transfer of power, Donald unleashed a deadly mob on the U.S. Capitol in a last-ditch attempt to stay in power
THIS is what an insurrection looks like 👇👇👇
Why is this pussy running to Mommy & Daddy throwing a tantrum that elections are "not fair" when the SORE WINNER WON TWICE under our current free & fair election process that has NEVER had a fraud issue big enough to change an outcome?
WHY? What is he scared of?
Oh, right, if everyone votes, he loses. Duh.
🚨 BREAKING: Pussy-Ass Trump Begs Supreme Court to OK Voter Suppression.
https://t.co/W4LGMREKc6
🚨The Trump Administration said ICE is finding abused, unaccompanied migrant children… but this is what they are doing once they find them…
They’re deporting them to countries where they have no family.
This week in Chicago, 10 children… ages 12 to 17… appeared in immigration court alone. All had been deemed abandoned by state courts.
Six were ordered deported, one child was just 12 years old.
His attorney told the judge he had NO caregivers waiting for him in El Salvador.
Moments later, the judge ordered him to be deported there.
These children aren’t terrorists.
They aren’t violent criminals.
They are children. Some seeking Special Immigrant Juvenile Status… a federal protection specifically designed for kids who have been abused, neglected or abandoned.
And instead of protecting them, this administration is accelerating their deportation.
That means sending vulnerable children back to places where they may have no safe home, no caregiver, and no protection… leaving them homeless, and at risk of exploitation, trafficking, abuse, or even death.
There are roughly 20,000 unaccompanied immigrant children currently navigating the U.S. legal system, including about 1,000 in the Chicago area.
So, when this administration tells you it’s doing all of this to “protect children,” remember what they are actually doing…
They are finding vulnerable children, and then deporting them back into the very dangers that they were fleeing from to begin with.
No, President Trump. The American people don’t want to rename Lake Ontario Lake America.
They want affordable healthcare, childcare, housing, education & nutrition assistance �� all of which you have massively cut in order to pay for your $1 trillion tax break to the top 1%.
BEWARE: There's a reason Trump is flooding the zone today with Lake America, putting himself atop a fake-ass GREATEST PRESIDENT EVER Family Tree, and now posting one of the most disrespectful things any human could do to the late Dolly Parton.
Something is brewing... this is intentional.
Stay vigilant.
We are not safe.
They used him. Then they fed him to the wolves.
John Doe testified against Mexican cartel operatives at real risk to himself and his family. In return, an immigration judge granted him protection from removal under the Convention Against Torture two years ago.
ICE detained him at a routine check-in in January. Six months in a Louisiana detention facility. When Guatemala refused to take him and then Mexico refused too, the administration found a workaround: instead of going back to the immigration judge who’d granted his protection, ICE’s acting director and Marco Rubio’s State Department just declared Mexico’s assurances “reliable” and terminated his protection themselves.
His lawyer says he doesn’t even remember getting the notice.
On Aug. 1, they deported him anyway. He’s now in hiding in cartel territory with no money or belongings, relying on strangers, waiting to see if the people he testified against find him first.
A federal judge ordered the government to bring him back Friday, ruling the process likely violated his due process rights.
The cruelty is the point.
🚨THIS IS WHAT WASTING YOUR TAX DOLLARS LOOKS LIKE.
In Chicago, at least 7 unmarked ICE vehicles, and around a dozen ICE agents, surround a car with two women inside, demanding they prove their citizenship…
And then let them go when they proved they were U.S. citizens.
So, why were they stopped in the first place?
ICE cannot stop people, and demand they prove their citizenship, based on a hunch… or because an agent thinks someone “looks undocumented.”
The Fourth Amendment protects people from unreasonable searches and seizures, and immigration agents still need lawful grounds to detain someone.
So, when neighbors saw 7 ICE vehicles surrounding ONE car, they started filming.
One man, standing at his front door, yells, “You all got nothing better to do.”
An ICE agent responds, “I can’t hear you… come down here and talk to me.”
Why?
He has the same right to criticize federal agents from a public sidewalk as he does from his front door.
Then he points out how absurd this situation is…
“20 cars for 2 females. You all better wear masks. That’s why you wear fucking masks… so your face doesn’t show.”
He’s calling them out for hiding their identities… saying, you’re covering your faces so you can’t be identified or held accountable for what you’re doing.
Because remember… these are dozens of armed, masked agents surrounding ONE car, with TWO WOMEN inside… who are U.S. citizens.
Instead of ignoring the criticism, the ICE agent walks over and says, “That’s not a threat, is it?”
So now saying federal agents should be identifiable, and held accountable, is a threat?
The man responds, “Did I threaten you, asshole?”
You don’t lose your constitutional rights because an ICE agent doesn’t like being recorded.
And criticizing the government isn’t a threat… it’s a constitutional right.
And when dozens of masked, armed agents surround two women, question their citizenship, and force them to prove they were U.S. citizens... everyone should be questioning and criticizing the government.
So I’ll ask again…
Why were these women stopped in the first place?
Because the people with cameras aren’t the problem…
The masked, armed agents violating the Constitution are.
Police violently detain Indigenous woman protesting ICE—shoot her with taser & tackle her to pavement.
Officer shot her in mouth with pepper spray—then arrested her for "assault" when she spit it out.
Cops then kneel on back of her neck with body weight.
She is a Cheyenne River and a Sisseton-Wahpeton tribes member.
Sisi Rose, 33, has been protesting for months to stand up against ICE's "unlawful detainers of Native Americans, and of American citizens."
"My kids could be snatched up off the streets, and we’re from here, and that scares me," she said.
Incident occurred outside ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations office in Sacramento, California.
She doesn't have an active account on this platform—so posting first full length and credited video here to help raise awareness.
