The Tennessee Senate has passed a bill to make it illegal for corporate investors that own 100 or more single-family homes to buy houses in the state's largest counties.

Nashville Democrat's Charlane Oliver’s β€œHomes not Hedge Funds Act” passed with only one no vote.

CNN airs compilation of JD Vance on the campaign trail saying he would keep the U.S. out of war in the Middle East. "We're going to stop sending our young people to far away lands. We are not the policemen of the world. Our interests are very much in not going to war with Iran." #IranWar

I respect that you’re religious but why are you bringing your religion onto the floor of Congress? Maybe some of those soldiers were atheists or agnostics. If so, mentioning god in their names would not be appropriate. You can still verbally honor these soldiers. Just Keep your god to yourself.

More ICE human rights violations.

People, including children and the elderly, were held for weeks in Colorado ICE hold rooms, without beds, in clear violation of ICE regulations.

When a US missile killed 160 children, president shits-a-lot claimed Iran stole the missile and fired at the school. When asked why he was the only one making this claim, he said "because I just don't know enough about it".
Go ahead. See if you can make this make sense.

Rand Paul: "As far as reasons for the war, there have been many different ones floated, but none have been very convincing... we were told their nuclear weapons were obliterated, and now we're told their nuclear weapons are just moments away from being a bomb. I don't think the arguments are valid."

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected β€” young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! β€” and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

That was wonderful. For myself, god I don’t want to be that busy. I’m so tired of being busy all the time with never enough time in the day, in the week to get the β€œshoulds” done. I want a retirement of no β€œshoulds.” If I even do or can retire. Lol

I grew up 45 min. from NYC & my friend lived in Manhattan. When chatting in 2015 after the obscene golden elevator day and we both said we knew that trump was only running for POTUS to increase his brand recognition (to feed his incessant insecurity & need for attention) and to expand his pocketbook

Video appears to show U.S. cruise missile striking Iranian school compound The seven-second video was released by Iranian state media and directly contradicts statements made by President Trump, who said Iran was responsible for the strike.

The Iranian girls’ school was hit by a US tomahawk cruise missile. NPR has confirmed the footage.

Hidden on page 744 of the farm bill the House Agriculture Committee passed Thursday is a provision that would condemn millions of pigs to a lifetime in gestation crates.

Rebranded the 'Save Our Bacon Act,' it's a pork-industry play to wipe out every state law banning the sale of pork from crated pigs β€” laws the conservative Supreme Court upheld in 2023.

Over 85% of Democrats and Republicans oppose these crates. Voters have backed ballot measures to ban them in state after state.

The pork industry knows it can't win a straight vote on this. So it's burying the provision in an 800-page bill and hoping no one notices.

Contact your senators and representative today and tell them: oppose the farm bill unless the Save Our Bacon Act is stripped out. You can reach them at http://senate.gov and http://house.gov β€” it takes two minutes and it matters.

This is hideous and horrible, and the people pushing for it deserve to spend the rest of their lives in a cage.

The SAVE Act is a major attack on voting rights. It is not a genuine voter ID reform, but rather an attempt to suppress turnout in future elections.
