What's amazing is that the people who support this would call a manager if they were stopped for anything. This is shameful.
U.S. Latinos are now more worried about being asked to prove their legal status during their daily activities (43% today vs. 31% in March), and roughly 1 in 5 have changed their daily routines because of it.

In Trump's big economic speech, he's made awful attacks on Ilhan Omar, Somalia and trans people. He has no capacity to talk about the issues that matter to Americans. His only mode is nasty, false smears.

Nice work, Miami! Here's to electing even more Democratic women. And break more glass ceilings, espeically in executive office!
With her runoff victory tonight, Eileen Higgins will be Miami's next mayor—the first woman in the city’s history and the first Democrat in nearly 30 years elected to the office.
Congrats, Mayor-elect!

Imagine bearing even a small amount of responsibility for this tragedy and not giving a damn.
The death rate among children under 5 is expected to grow this year for the first time in the 21st century, researchers say. A key factor, they say, is cuts to U.S. and other foreign aid

I know that official press conferences have drawn a contrast to previous administrations, but the Trump team leads practically every presser, no matter the topic, with gratuitous attacks on Biden.

Turns out they/them pronouns are useful when you want to distance yourself from responsibility for the war crimes.
Hegseth: "As President Trump always has our back, we always have the back of our commanders who are making decisions in difficult situations. All these strikes, they're making judgement calls ensuring they defend the American people. They've done the right things. We'll keep doing that."

In the new Emerson poll in TN 07, 97% of Harris voters support Aftyn Behn (D) and 88% of Trump voters support Matt Van Epps (R). If that pattern holds across races in 2026 and there is a slight Democratic turnout edge, Democrats would be favored in any CD that Trump won by 12 points or less.

Sending the FBI after people for saying you don’t have to comply with ILLEGAL orders is a little on the nose, even for the Trump folks.
The President directing the FBI to target us is exactly why we made this video in the first place. He believes in weaponizing the federal government against his perceived enemies and does not believe laws apply to him or his Cabinet.

Gender-affirming care saves lives
1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.
