"Stephen Miller soon joined a growing list of senior Trump-administration political appointees—at least six by our count—living in Washington-area military housing, where they are shielded not just from potential violence but also from protest." Others include Marco Rubio, Kristi Noem, Pete Hegseth.

ICE and Kristi Noem blocked a church from holding communion for detainees at Chicago detention center

Kids shouldn't be forced to go to bed hungry to make a political point.

Congress already passed contingency funding for SNAP on a bipartisan basis. Trump's refusal to use it is a choice, and it's sickening.

Every mention of SNAP being frozen should include this simple fact:

TRUMP is CHOOSING TO CANCEL FOOD ASSISTANCE. There are literally emergency dollars available to keep SNAP funded.

Break the law, face the consequences. That goes for ICE agents who commit illegal acts outside of their official functions.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

In a senile moment, Trump ADMITS that maybe the $230 million he's extorting from DoJ might PAY for his fukukta Ballroom.

What happened to all those generous donors?

Yeah. 👖 on 🔥.
