ICYMI— This debate 🔥

Adam Hamilton won over the crowd.

Incumbent Republican Roger Marshall did his best, and still got booed, jeered and heckled by the people he represents.

Adul El-Sayed was born and raised in Michigan and holds a PhD from Oxford (that's in England, not in Mississippi), where he was a Rhodes Scholar. He's a leading US public health expert. You, Tuberville, are motivated by just one thing: racism. It permeates your innermost self and defines you.

Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 6 weeks(!) in the hospital.

Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare.

The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave—is now getting all three.

if you are a democratic voter we cannot accept anything short of completely abolishing ice. nothing else can suffice. reform is not possible. regulation is not possible. the agency must be abolished.
This is a video of ICE agents pulling a man out of a car and handcuffing him after shooting him in broad daylight in Maine — just days after killing Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Texas. (1/2)

Is it possible for Trump, Vance & Hegseth to address troops without talking about partisan politics or Democrats? Are they capable of talking about military subjects or just talking about America, their missions or service? Is their only purpose indoctrinating a captive audience?

As SCOTUS adjourned, a woman asks Justice Alito, "Well, judge what have we got? A Republic or a monarchy?"

"A monarchy," replied the racist, "if you can keep it."

Vance flew all that way just to have the purpose of his entire trip detonated by Trump before he even got there.
It looks like Trump threatening to invade Iran, seize the strait and steal their oil hours before negotiations began failed to produce the desired result.

Scientists in Atlanta were stopped from criticizing the Trump admin at a scientific conference, so let me do it here:

Trump is destroying biomedical research in America, and it will take decades to get back on track. 

Spread the word. Stand up for science.

On Juneteenth, we should rightly celebrate freedom won and those who fought for it. Yet we have to acknowledge not only injustices still uncorrected, but the ways those in power are seeking to undo the progress of decades.

We keep fighting.

Celebrations of Jackie Robinson Day downplay his activism during and after his playing career.

They also ignore the fact that there are still so few Black major league players and managers, and no Black majority owners of any MLB team.

Donald Trump is openly threatening war crimes against the entirety of Iranian civilization.

25th Amendment proceedings must begin immediately, but if the Cabinet is too cowardly, the House should begin the impeachment process now.

If I were in Trump's Cabinet, I would spend Easter calling constitutional lawyers about the 25th Amendment.

This is completely, utterly unhinged. He's already killed thousands. He's going to kill thousands more.
