If you’re in Virginia, for the sake of everything that matters to the rest of the civilized world, please get out today and vote yes on the constitutional amendment

Truly remarkable how many people have told the Pope, in some way or another, to "shut up and dribble." Or corrected him on the Bible, despite their thin education on theology. Or told him to stay out of US affairs, despite him being a US citizen. The hubris is amazing.
KERNEN: We'd never be able to send anyone back if you needed a judicial warrant every single time
RAND PAUL: Well, I don't think that's true. Obeying the 4th Amendment of the Constitution shouldn't be too difficult. It's something we fought the revolution over.
DHS deported a US citizen to Mexico. Brian Morales is 25 years old who was born in Denver. Pulled over in Texas with his construction crew. Didn’t have his ID on him and told officers he could get his birth certificate, Social Security card, and medical records from home.
"Magataotao" on Twitter writes: "I am Catholic. This👇is not my Pope." Attached is a video of the Pope saying that we should search for peace and reject war. A community note under their tweet says: "You are not a Catholic if you do not accept the Pope, but rather a schismatic. Canon 751: “Schism is the refusal of submission to the Supreme Pontiff,” ie. the Pope. https://www.vatican.va/archive/cod-iuris-canonici/eng/documents/cic_lib3-cann747-755_en.html"
first in my bloodline to see someone get excommunicated by a community note
Child care that ends at 3 p.m. doesn't work for many working families. So we're changing it.
This fall, our 2-K program will pilot year-round care for 2-year-olds, with a full 10-hour day from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Because truly "universal" child care matches the reality of working people's lives.
ICE agents shot another driver -- on Tues.
He had just asked to call his wife.
They shot him six times. One bullet his jaw.
Now he can't speak and has been mostly unconscious.

Keep in mind that everywhere ICE is, your local police have failed you, and abandoned their oath to serve and protect. Zero Ice officers have been arrested. They assault, the kidnap, they kill, and they all walk free. Your local police treat ICE as above the law. The betrayal of duty is staggering.
this is not surprising to me and the question is will this accumulating body of evidence change anything

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it.
This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.
This is why we need impartial investigations. Trump’s left hand cannot investigate his right hand.

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.
This might be the largest party lead I've ever seen among the double haters

"‘On a whole other level’: rapid snow melt-off in American west stuns scientists.
Experts say brutal March heat has left critical snowpack at record-low levels – and key basins in uncharted territory."

these are exactly the stakes! embracing trump’s view would be embracing the cramped vision of freedom and belonging that we fought a civil war to banish to the ash heap of history
Get me off this hellish rock and send me to Planet Dank
Accountability brings consequences.
And consequences are the only language corruption understands.
Money and political power do not outrank the Constitution.
They just need a wake up call and it’s coming at the midterms.👇
I know it's april fools day but I can't emphasize enough how much I need everybody to not fuck around today

What does it say about a Florida state government, supposedly governing for the people, when said state government is suing/will sue the NFL to stop interviewing minorities. Not hire, interview.
This is how comically desperate these fools are now.

Amid the other consternating news this one has received rather little attention: catastrophic flooding in Hawaiʻi and the "imminent" threat of a dam failure in northern Oahu, apparently since eased. www.usatoday.com/story/news/w...
Dems need to be on every news channel saying this. Everyday. All day.

(And don't come at me with "There are bad people in the north too." No shit. But I've never had as many unpleasant encounters with authorities as I've had in Mississippi, and I've had Houston cops, LAPD, and Texas Rangers pull guns on me.)
McGovern: He’s doing nothing to make healthcare more accessible. They say we don’t have the money—but we have a billion dollars a day to blow on this crazy war. I don’t think he gives a shit about the American people. Gas prices are skyrocketing, and he’s golfing.
Hey was flooding in Hawaii on any of the Sunday morning news shows?
