So we can give 20 billion to Venezuela but are laying off our government experts? They’ve cancelled federal aid to starving children. This is our money & they have no right. This is the most criminal admin in my lifetime.

US strikes another boat ‘trafficking narcotics’ off coast of Venezuela, Trump says; 6 killed

It’s the fifth known deadly strike in the Caribbean as Trump has asserted that the U.S. is treating alleged drug traffickers as unlawful combatants.

The redistricting fight is still going. Republicans are winning.

After outlasting a Democratic walkout in Texas, the GOP has kept working to tip the balance in other red states.

COLLINS: The Dept of Energy just canceled $1b for a hydrogen hub that covers Montana. Is that taking away good-paying jobs?

SHEEHY: Of course it is. We want govt to be open

C: But the Energy Secretary says he would've pulled that funding even if govt was open

S: ... Well, that's unfortunate

Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents.

ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities.

The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.

ICE entered a Walgreens in Chicago running with their guns drawn looking for any person of color.

Apparently they kidnapped a black young man.

Contact Walgreens HQ and ask them to not allow ICE on their property.

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.
