Nurses take care of veterans in the hospital. Congress should take care of them at home. The GOP's H.R.9237 will cut disability benefits, strip VA workers' rights & it will outsource care to private industry for profit. Call Congress & demand they vote NO! https://t.co/xSdwk14hEd
WWII Veteran and Purple Heart recipient Robert Hilliard:
"Next week I'll be 101 years old. In February 1944 when I was 18 years old I was inducted into the army and what they taught me to do there was to kill people who set up detention camps. Can you imagine how I felt earlier this year when they announced that one of the future detention camps would be at that same camp landing in Florida? We have a fascist, a fascist government, that allows innocent people to be put in detention camps and incarcerated."

I confronted @RepFine about his complete indifference to the illegal detention of 16-year-old Floridian Mohammed Ibrahim in the West Bank.
All he said was, "You lost my interest in your question," and walked away.
In Congress, I promise to stand up to genocide, apartheid, and AIPAC's politicians who enable Israel's actions.
TPS is meant to protect people who are in this country legally and cannot return home for fear of death.
Today’s Supreme Court decision ending TPS for Haitians and Syrians puts thousands of lives needlessly at risk.
We will not stop fighting to protect the people this administration has chosen to discard.
There is no amount of budgeting that fixes a system problem.
You cannot coupon your way out of rent that costs 60% of your income.
You cannot meal prep your way out of a $800 car payment.
You cannot side hustle your way out of healthcare that costs more than your mortgage.
At some point the advice has to change.
Because the math does not work anymore.
The Supreme Court just ruled that Bayer, the maker of Roundup weedkiller, can get away with poisoning us and giving people cancer, and that we are not allowed to sue them. This is America: a country so depraved that it puts the profits of corporations over people’s lives.
If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.
The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”
It’s about control.
BREAKING: @AOC just introduced the AI Data Center Moratorium Act in the House.
The bill would ban the construction of data centers until Congress addresses the economic, environmental, and safety impacts of AI.
Even @Morning_Joe has had it with the false claims of antisemitism: "If you want to blame anybody for what happened last night, you have to blame Benjamin Netanyahu."
"The idea that you're going to be able to brutalize children and women in Gaza with bombing that looks indiscriminate on TV day in and day out for years, that you're going to be able to level half of Lebanon, that you're going to be able to continue to allow thugs to run wild in the West Bank, and brutalizing Palestinians, brutalizing Christians in Bethlehem, brutalizing Christians across that area along with Palestinian Muslims, especially Palestinian Muslims, blowing up Catholic churches in Gaza... You can blame all of this on Benjamin Netanyahu."
Ansari: I didn’t think I could be shocked by anything he does, but he was literally handed a bipartisan housing bill that would lower costs on a silver platter. It was such an easy win for him at a time when he’s so unpopular because of his cover-up of the Epstein files and this illegal war he screwed up. He could’ve said, “I did this big housing bill,” and because he is so committed to rigging the election, he chose to blow it all up. Their party is a mess. Trump is a joke.
Let me be really clear about what just happened.
The head of the U.S. Postal Service sat in front of the United States Senate and said the quiet part loud: no voter list, no mail ballots. Full stop.
You don’t get to look away from this one.
This is a proposed rule. It’s being fought in court. But the fact that it was said — that a federal official openly threatened to withhold your ballot — that matters.
Your vote is yours. Not the administration’s. Not USPS’s. Yours.
Stay informed. Stay loud.
When voters watch corporate Democrats take hundreds of thousands from big lobbies and special interests, they see it as proof that both parties are the same.
We can't afford to lose another election by blurring the line between Republicans and Democrats; we will only win by being bold in both our policies AND how we are funded.
That's why I'm proud to reject ALL corporate PAC money, as well as money from AIPAC.
The GOP swears they’d “never cut” Social Security— Sen. Mike Lee is on tape saying he wants to pull it “up by the roots & get rid of it entirely.”
Believe their words—this has always been THE PLAN.
They’re stealing our MONEY.
VOTE—It’s our FUTURE! #HandsOffSocialSecurity
Social Security isn’t going to run dry by accident.
Income inequality is draining it.
Once someone makes more than $182,000, they stop paying into Social Security. Lift the cap. Make billionaires pay their fair share. Protect Social Security.

This open admission by Israeli Defense Minister Katz is an outright, black-and-white, war crime. No embarrassment, no bashfulness, just a boastful declaration that he has "first" destroyed villages that used to house 200,000 civilians and "not one of them" will ever be allowed back.
He doesn't even pretend they were Hezbollah. He acknowledges they are civilians, and unabashedly declares their dwellings have been destroyed and they will never be allowed back *in their own country.*
And our government doesn't even yawn. Doesn't push back in horror, demand sanctions, leap to the UNSC. Nothing. Just send them more bombs and money, while staying silent on the war crimes.
Welcome to the frightening world of 2026.
@CaptInzane@ProudSocialist Any coverage I’ve seen says she’d paid for the merchandise. Either way since when has shooting someone without due process been ok. Over diapers. They would know where to find her
