“CBS LA: Video shows immigration agents clashing with protesters in Ventura County”

This ICE-hole picked up this small woman in a hat and dress, then slammed her on the concrete. Then, when a male bystander tried to help her, they blasted him with pepper spray!

Democrats should reintroduce War Powers Resolution ASAP in Congress. Could at least force Republicans to explain why they're not open to putting any limitations at all on a megalomaniacal war leader.

Massive war price tag could be a massive problem for GOP leaders The prospect of a ballooning new spending bill has GOP leaders bracing for a messy internal fight.

Capitol Hill Republicans are about to confront a staggering price tag for Trump’s Middle East war.

Some GOP lawmakers are hearing estimates that the Pentagon is spending as much as $2 billion a day.

The first Black woman in space carried more than experiments aboard the shuttle.

Mae Jemison’s journey from Chicago science museums to Space Shuttle Endeavour showed generations of girls what was possible.

History remembers the woman who reached for the stars.

Here's what I believe: no more business as usual in the Senate. We shouldn't be voting to proceed to normal legislation until Republicans schedule a debate and a vote and on a declaration of war against Iran. Let's see if Trump has the votes to authorize war. I bet he doesn't.

Jasmine Crockett has been and will continue to be a strong and important voice in our party. She was in my freshman class and became an immediate leader. Her work on behalf of the American people and Texas is just getting stated.

I knew I saw this somewhere before. Funny that it’s almost exactly what’s actually happening now.

imo the threat posed by CBS News and CNN getting absorbed by pro-regime billionaires isn't that they're going to produce right-wing slop that convinces people to be right-wing, it's the dismantling of newsrooms capable of doing investigative reporting on the administration. Fewer eyes on the street.

So basically Trump can post that he’s sending a hospital ship to Greenland for no reason, then do absolutely nothing to actually send a hospital ship to Greenland because it was all a lie, and not one single Republican gets asked about it. That’s where we’re at.

ICE wants to spend 38 billion to house immigrants. It would cost 20 billion to end homelessness in the US. America first my ass

Federal grand juror on her experiences over last 1.5 yrs. In my experience with the Epstein files, I found the evidence presented to be credible and believable. There are evil people in the world who are wired differently and are this depraved. These things really do happen.

The trauma these children are experiencing is going to haunt all of us later on when they grow up. Monsters.
