New Justice Department filings reveal that it was Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem who chose to defy a federal court order by transferring more than 100 Venezuelan men into Salvadoran custody to be imprisoned.
Place National Guard in harm’s way for no good reason. Two members are tragically and unnecessarily shot. The reckless regime’s response: We’re sending 500 more National Guard troops! What a disgrace.
A sad irony in Washington, D.C., where West Virginia National Guardsmen were shot today. Six days ago, a court ruled their deployment was illegal, but stayed the order pending appeal. My heart goes out to these public servants and their families. oag.dc.gov/sites/defaul...
Public libraries are receiving a clear mandate from voters this November: when presented with the choice, communities are willing to invest in their information infrastructure, programming, and future.

If you're under the impression that guns could make your home safer, that's because the gun industry sold you a story to sell you a gun.
We understand more than anyone the desire to feel safe – which is why you should know that living in a gun-free home is the way forward☀️
U.S. Law Shield and the U.S. Concealed Carry Association sell insurance that covers legal fees if you injure or murder someone in "self defense."
The people who pay for it are being encouraged to shoot more freely at their neighbors. Learn more: https://guns-down.org/selfdefenseinsurance

Huntington Beach, California, has become ground zero for MAGA's relentless attacks on American libraries and your right to read.
We need people like you to take action and help us fight back!

Anytime a Republican claims he's reading the Constitution, it's because he's looking for loopholes.
🧵 1/2 Each time comments like these go unchecked and unquestioned by anyone from the GOP, we slide closer to the time that we won’t be able to save our democracy. No one, let alone a convicted felon be allowed to say that a US Senator “should be charged with treason
What job? Trump has never seen the presidency as a 'job', only as an opportunity.
Great platform. I’d vote for you!
The worst anti-vaccine bill of this session, SB 1887, is up for a hearing in the Senate Health and Human Services committee. It would ban all mRNA vaccines in Texas, with a carve out only for cancer and genetic treatments. We’ll update y’all after.

It's tough to refer to someone as a criminal if you've given them no due process to determine whether they're a criminal. Like if you get arrested and get a trial and are convicted of 34 felony counts. That's due process. You can call that guy a criminal.
Fed Chair Jerome Powell on the decision for the Federal Reserve to not lower interest rates:
"We are in the right place to wait and see how things evolve. We don't feel like we need to be in a hurry...There's so much uncertainty."
Casar: "I've knocked on 1000s of doors and not a single time has someone said, 'Thank God you're here. I want to ask about trans people fencing'..what the hell are we doing? We are here bc MTG thinks if she picks on trans folks, she can avoid having a discussion about allegations of insider trading"
I don’t have anything close to $1.98 gas near me.
How about you? 🤨
once again my full throated support and endorsement for any democrat who pursues criminal legal accountability for the DOGE boys. and i’d be fine with shipping these guys to the Hague
If guilty people don't have Due Process rights, then innocent people don't have Due Process rights, because we don't know if they're innocent or guilty until we have a trial or hearing.
Powell: "If the large increases in tariffs that have been announced are sustained, they are likely to generate a rise in inflation, a slowdown in economic growth, and an increase in unemployment."
MAGA cultists are like hypnotized sheep following their Dear Leader.
This administration lacks a significant amount of critical thinking.
Throwing sh*t at the wall and seeing what sticks is not gonna fly when it’s Americans' well-being on the line.
