Ms. Rachel: I've had the honor of meeting with 10 absolutely precious children their wonderful families who have been locked in Dilley Immigration Detention Center in Texas. A prison that is neglecting, abusing, and traumatizing kids. There is no safe amount of time for a child to be in detention. Dilley immigration detention center must be shut down. We need to end the cruel policies of family detention and family separation.
Today marks 10 years since a gunman took 49 lives at Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, FL.
We honor those lost while continuing to strive for a country where LGBTQ+ people can safely be themselves.
We celebrated Pride with the Mayor's Office of LGBTQIA+ Affairs to honor the queer and trans New Yorkers who help make this the greatest city on earth.
At a moment when politicians in Washington are targeting trans people, rolling back rights, and trying to divide us, Pride this year is a reminder that we must always stand together and fight for one another.
Happy Pride, New York City.
Iowa Democrats are increasingly bullish about their chances of flipping the US Senate seat in November
Nominee Josh Turek is pushing a campaign of "Prairie Populism"
Turek says he's making headway ====>
We have a deal? Been down that road over 37 times. No one is holding their breath.
Trump needs a deal and the Iranians know it. He can't sustain this war politically at home. Gas prices are rising, Democrats are up 10 points in the generic ballot, his approval is stuck in the mid-30s, and even Republicans are breaking with him.
Meanwhile, Iran has been rearming and rebuilding far faster than predicted. We’re cornered.
‼️ This is Trump’s Watergate Moment.
For months the Vice President, White House Chief of Staff, Pam Bondi, Todd Blanche, Kash Patel and other top officials colluded in the Situation Room to break the law and BURY the Epstein investigation.
This is what went down ⬇️
The Acting AG, @DAGToddBlanche, is a national disgrace.
His actions in covering up the Epstein Files to protect trump are unethical and likely illegal.
He will be disbarred. He will be investigated. And if the facts warrant it, he will be prosecuted.
November is coming.
Talarico: We've heard from a lot of Cornyn supporters who are joining this movement that we're building. This is a movement that's a lot bigger than any one political party. It's a lot bigger than any one politician. This is really about all of us coming together to defeat the most corrupt politician in America, so that then we can defeat this corrupt system.
Talarico: There's been a lot of talk in this race about what it means to be a real man. Here's what real men don't do. They don't lie and cheat their way through life. They don't sell their soul to the highest bidder. They don't steal from other people in order to enrich themselves. Real men serve others, weak men serve themselves. And so I welcome this debate about what it means to be a man.
And I don't think Ken Paxton or Ted Cruz are in a position to tell anybody what a real man is.
Dear @DAGToddBlanche: You will be disbarred. You will be investigated next year. And if the facts warrant it, you will be prosecuted by the next Administration.
November is coming.
BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Senator Amy Klobuchar just went to town on Donald Trump's Agriculture Secretary for completely failing to protect America's farmers. Every American needs to see this.
Dear @SecRollins: You keep getting fact checked for your lies. It’s your Administration that cut the Screwworm programs.
Also, the life cycle of a Screwworm is 14 to 54 days. The trump Administration has been in office over 500 days.
If you can’t stop lying, you need to resign.
Dear @WhiteHouse: Have you apologized yet?
DOGE was a massive failure. The DOGE Bros were a toxic combination of cluelessness, arrogance and laziness. They made no effort to understand the vital programs they destroyed, like programs that were designed to prevent screwworms.
WOAH!
Congressman Marks Day 500 By Reminding Bessent of Trump's Biggest Promise: Lower Costs.
REP. BOYLE: President Trump promised the American people, "I will lower costs on day one."
BOYLE: Today is day 500.
BOYLE: Costs aren't lower. They're higher than ever before.
BOYLE: Inflation is rising. Gas prices are surging. Consumer confidence has collapsed.
BOYLE: Why won't you admit this has been a failed presidency?
BESSENT: GDP growth is 2.6%. We've seen exceptional private-sector job growth and real wage increases.
BOYLE: Reclaiming my time.
BOYLE: A few days ago in Northeast Philadelphia, people were paying over $4.50 a gallon for gas.
BOYLE: They were feeling a lot of emotions.
BOYLE: I guarantee you optimism wasn't one of them.
WTF timeline are we on. Someone called me the MAGA whisperer and I’ll gladly take the title. Left, right, D or R we all want the same things. We’re being divided on purpose by the Epstein Elite Oligarch class because as long as we’re at each other’s throats, they get fat and rich off of our misery. The second we figure out we agree on more than we disagree, they’re done. Love your neighbor. Be yourself. Radical honesty. No fucks given, no fucks taken. Everything else is just noise. (But still fuck Jake “Brick Tamland” Tapper on any time line)
Sen. @ChrisMurphyCT: This war and the administration's decision to blockade has held the entire world economy hostage. Apparently the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until there's an agreement. Trump said yesterday he's bored by the negotiations. Give us insight into what your bottom lines are.
Rubio: I think that's a good question.
Sen. @JeffMerkley to Rubio: You have expressed that no one died as a result of the shutdown of USAID. I want to note that it's estimated that over 500,000 children have died from that shutdown. I hope you ponder that as we strive to rebuild programs related to malaria, tuberculosis, AIDS, HIV, nutrition, and Ebola.
Booker to Rubio: We are the strongest nation on the planet and we're in a stalemate with Iran, and now we're begging to get back into a deal that you all trashed in the first place.
