Pretty cranky about this timeline
Imagine living in a country where it’s easier for a refugee from a war torn country to get a gun than the mental health care he so clearly desperately needed

A study by economists initially released in 2023 found immigrants are 60% less likely to be incarcerated than people born in the U.S. Immigrants have been imprisoned at lower rates for 150 years, the study found, adding to past research undermining Trump’s claims.

“With few exceptions, studies conducted at both the aggregate and individual levels demonstrate that high concentrations of immigrants are not associated with increased levels of crime and delinquency across neighborhoods and cities in the United States,” it said.

I don’t know what looks worse- the court or the Badgers.

It’s definitely the court.

So proud of the people of Chicago who have been protecting their neighbors by filming and spreading the word. I hope an attorney takes up her case and sues ICE

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

Ashamed of this country again today. The democratic leadership deserves NO respect. They need to go.
The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Can’t believe anyone could continue to support this kind of cruelty

Amen!!! If the only way you participate in the process is by bitching at others on social media about how broken the system is you get Trump

Take your positive messages to the streets today Dems- there’s no need to argue with bots or even mention the President’s name. We will continue to win with a message that is inclusive and unifying.

Speaker of the house literally doesn’t know anything
Does the Speaker of the House know what's going on in the country?

It's not clear that he does, as Mike Johnson's communication strategy seems to rely heavily on being unaware.

When faced with questions he should be able to answer, he has a reliable response: "I don't know."

It’s wild that Trump thinks he has the power to blow boats out of the water, send troops into American cities, but when it comes to releasing emergency monies to feed hungry children he needs to check with the courts.

O'DONNELL: Why did you pardon Changpeng Zhao?

TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is

O'DONNELL: His crypto exchange Binance helped facilitate a $2b purchase of World Liberty Financial's stablecoin. And they you pardoned him.

TRUMP: Here's the thing -- I know nothing about it

Pretending that the American drug OD problem is the fault of Venezuela doesn’t make it so.

Starting a war on a whim and Marco Rubio’s weird obsession with Venezuela’s leader makes America look pathetic

“We are holding food over the heads of poor people so that we can take away their health care,” said Rev. Ryan Stoess, during a prayer with religious leaders at the U.S. Capitol.
“God help us,” he said, “when the cruelty is the point.”
