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.

After His Electoral and Epstein Humiliations, Trump Takes Putin's Side In Ukraine, Threatens To Hang Democrats In Congress, Preps For War With Venezuela
As he grows weaker and his many manifest failures impossible to ignore, our malevolent and desperate leader is becoming more dangerous

Trump and Bondi are scrubbing, redacting, everything short of destroying evidence which is a huge crime. We've won a major battle for the victims and democracy but Trump is still going to try to weaponize.

When Border Patrol showed up across Charlotte, parents and neighbors rushed to Berryhill to meet kids at the bus stop. They stood watch, linked arms, and made one thing clear: if the city gets targeted, its children will not face it alone.
This is what community looks like.💙

On a Monday night when most cities go quiet, Charlotte packed a church wall to wall for Siembra’s resistance training. As Jacob Soboroff noted, people don’t usually show up like this — but Charlotte did. When federal agents came, the community came louder🔥🔥🔥

Hours after Border Patrol swept through Charlotte, protesters filled uptown with courage, not fear. They marched peacefully, stood united, and refused to be intimidated.
Charlotte showed up.
And it showed strength.💪

H.S. students at Phillip O. Berry Academy walked out in protest, carrying signs like “No one is illegal on stolen land” & “I’ll take my horchata warm cause ICE sucks.” While masked agents stormed Charlotte & arrested 200, these kids showed more courage than the entire operation.

People are starting to ask why Susan Collins thought a $500,000 payout to Republican senators was a good call when families are struggling.
Maine needed help, she delivered a payout to her friends instead.

Dirty, despicable, disgusting, deranged Donald.
‘Dirty Donald’
It’s Thursday. There are 355 days until the midterm elections. Republicans are ready to finish off Obamacare, Trump’s cover-up (no, a different one) and the right is really, really gross.
