DO NOT TAKE YOUR KIDS TO THE COPS WITHOUT LEGAL REPRESENTATION EVER. And if your child is arrested, you INSIST that they say NOTHING but their name, age, and that they want a lawyer. THAT'S IT. NOTHING ELSE. Maybe even roll play with them beforehand. #ProtectChildren

@tedcruz How many “Islamic states” or “Islamic republics existed before 1948?

[Elijah Manley @iElijahManley]

Black Americans are more than twice as likely to take out payday loans, and payday lenders have spent years marketing in Black communities.

Those same lenders have funneled more than $50,000 to Debbie Wasserman Schultz. So when the Obama administration and Elizabeth Warren moved to crack down on the industry, she lead the fight against stronger regulations.

@SenRickScott Was it “surveillance” or an investigation into Medicare fraud?

@prem_thakker Republicans? Didn’t most Dems also vote for this??

NEW: Trump seized on California's slow vote count to push false claims that Democrats are "stealing" the state's primary elections.

He also used the assertion to pressure lawmakers to pass the SAVE America Act, which would ban vote by mail — a method voters in the state largely rely on. https://t.co/Au5572XdQn

The House voted today on a new measure to fuse elements of the Israeli and US militaries, particularly on the cyberweapons front. Section 224, as its known, is included in the National Defense Authorization Act. Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., introduced an amendment to strip it from the bill. Watch as a stream of Republicans and Democrats stand up in support of the enhanced cooperation. Only Rep. Sarah Jacobs (D-Calif.) joined Khanna, and the measure failed in a voice vote. Watch:

It's happening 🚨

House GOP representatives are about to introduce a bill that would completely eliminate subsidized student loans.

They are trying to make it impossible to go to college unless you can afford to pay for it upfront.

@RonDeSantis Is this how you decided policy in Florida? By looking at betting markets rather than actual votes cast?

Yeah, that tracks.…

[Daniel Boguslaw @DRBoguslaw]

NEW: Buried within the Senate Intelligence Authorization Act is a provision to increase intelligence sharing with Israel and impede the president's ability to reduce cooperation in the future.

If you want to learn out about the state of America's water resources, you should read this book

As Reisner notes, the first two-thirds of the 20th Century saw the proliferation of dams and draining of aquifers at a rapid clip so that subsidized crops could be grown at a massive scale with cheap water, privatizing the gains and socializing the costs quite severely

We're now staring down the barrel of the consequences of that decision, from the almond farms draining the Colorado River to the subsidized, horizon-to-horizon cornfields of the Midwest draining the vast aquifer that made them possible

But hey, we got some "almond milk" and corn syrup out of it

@VirginiaBiz Hahaha remember when you reported that the data center would initially only need 2 million gallons of water per day but that need could rise to 8 million gallons of water per day? Good times…

“The agency’s report found about 3,000 fake accounts that amplified Becerra across social media platforms X, Facebook and Instagram while also criticizing Steyer, according to Steyer’s team. In all, the fake accounts generated 1.3 million views and 42,000 engagements, the report stated.”

In 2016, Debbie Wasserman Schultz earned a nickname she has never lived down: “Debt Trap Debbie.” This is the ad that ran in her own South Florida district for siding with predatory payday lenders. Every FL-20 voter should see it.

@LisaBritton It wasn’t really necessary to have kitsch like “I drink female tears” when for millennia the Law allowed men to rape their wives or kill them if they cheated or required their fathers or husbands to sign a credit card application…

@NewsWire_US “Crack down”? You mean “obstruct the mail” or “infer with the casting of ballots”?
