They refused him his medication...& I'm going to grow up without a father.. #ICE tried to cover up the fact that they killed him...They're just Heartless monsters." —preteen daughter of Edwin Lopez-Cornejo

Gill: All 100 senators last week passed a non-binding resolution condemning any pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. They're simultaneously considering confirming the guy who met with her and moved her to a low-security facility as the top cop in the United States. That is so insane to me.

Cutting Medicare Part D subsidies isn’t “fiscal discipline.” It’s a prescription for higher drug costs, more untreated illness, and greater long‑term healthcare spending. Seniors deserve stability, not surprise hikes in essential medication costs. #RepublicanMedicareCuts

It's a perfect week to persuade Portland City Councilors to take action on climate and protect us from dangerous fuel corporations like Zenith Energy and I Squared Capital.

It really just shows how desperate MAGA is. Things are looking bleak for them so they decide to resurrect one of their 'greatest hits'...the persecution of Fauci. A man whose only crime was to try and save their damn lives. Many of them died, some begging for the vaccine before they passed away.

“To make our settlement with the Gambino Crime Family more equitable, we have limited its immunity from consequences for committing crimes to only the family members most likely to murder.”

BREAKING: Todd Blanche just issued a formal order that appears to terminate Trump's $1.8 billion slush fund and limit the scope of the IRS audit immunity deal applying to Trump and his family.

“Trump thinks the public will stop paying attention [to] his 500 days of corruption… But this is why Trump is not fixing America’s problems: he’s too busy rigging the rules for himself. Once corruption becomes normal, it becomes permanent. We cannot let that happen.” @chrismurphyct.bsky.social

Chris Murphy@chrismurphyct.bsky.social · last mo.

Trump has turned the White House into a 24/7 corruption operation. This is a national crisis. Trump thinks the public will stop paying attention. So I went to the Senate floor to call his bluff. I told the ENTIRE STORY of his 500 days of corruption. 1/ Here it is - in one🧵

Everyone reported the slush fund died. Nobody reported what was sitting next to it in the same agreement: immunity from IRS audits for Trump, his family, and his businesses. That part never died. That part is what he's appealing to save. www.JackHopkinsNow.com

While you were over here trying to figure out how you were going to cover the rent and food—this guy was over there using $5.1 million in taxpayer money YOU paid into the system to cover these statues in 23 karat gold. Yeah, he did that.

Trump is laying the groundwork for Donald Trump Jr. to turn guns into gold, like a dream start-up. Laws are scrapped, innocents pay the price, and corruption breathes freely. Trump’s logic: why worry about human lives when there are profits to be made? #ProudBlue #DV1

Listen to nikkivinck.com. “..if you didn’t..take care of other people while a deadly virus spread across the world, I will not listen to you say one goddamn bad word about this man.” This is a #CupOfJoe worth sharing!
