ICE just conducted a raid by Taco Giro in Tucson - a small mom-and-pop restaurant that has served our community for years. When I presented myself as a Member of Congress asking for more information, I was pushed-aside and pepper sprayed.

So Stephen Millers calls judges domestic terrorists for stopping his fascist actions, and now the homes of judges are burning down in red states? Interesting.

Barack Obama

Republicans can’t win on their policies, so they are trying to dodge accountability by rewriting the rules. These lawmakers are going out of their way to silence the will of the people and deliberately undermine our democracy.
The White House is continuing to pressure states to gerrymander their congressional maps because they are afraid of voters holding them accountable for their unpopular policies. This is a decisive moment for our democracy. Take action to fight back against this power grab. ⬇️

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

OKLAHOMA: “I’ll be stepping down as superintendent.” Extremist schools superintendent Ryan Walters (who ordered schools to teach the Bible + have copies in every class, then was caught looking at porn in a meeting) announces his resignation, says he’ll go attack teachers unions

Donald Trump just bombed Iran without Congress’ approval, which is a highly impeachable offense. By bombing Iran, Trump is declaring an act of war against another country — which he does not have the Constitutional authority to do. He is an insane lunatic. He must be impeached.

BREAKING: A new leak of a DOGE document shows DOGE found only TWO potential cases of Social Security fraud in 110,000 new claims. In the process, they slowed down retirement processing 25%. DOGE isn't catching fraud. They're committing fraud.

BREAKING: Kristi Noem, the head of DHS, has no f-cking clue what habeas corpus means. We are living in the dumbest of times. Noem: “Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country”.

It seems that Trump wants a recession. Why? A recession will drive down the prices of real estate, companies, and shares of stock. Trump and his fellow billionaires want to buy up everything on the cheap and then enjoy the ride upward — no matter the cost to working people.

Just so we’re clear - Any party telling you who you can love, what gender you are, which medicine you can take, which books you can read, which history you can learn, what prayers you should say and what you can and cannot do with your own body, doesn’t give a fuck about freedom.

AMERICA, WAKE THE FUCK UP! 🚨 Trump’s goons are purging the military. Firing generals. Replacing top officers. Gutting oversight. Why? Because they know the military doesn’t fucking like what’s happening. He’s cutting budgets, axing diversity programs, and making sure only his loyalists stay in power. This is some dictator 101 shit. You think this stops here? Once the military is under his control, that’s it. No way back. No election will fix it. This is how democracy dies. And half the country is cheering it on like brain-dead cultists. History is screaming at us—will anyone fucking listen?
