A Haitian man legally immigrated to Ohio, then was given an ankle monitor bc Trump withdrew his status.

He threw himself in front of truck. The trucker, who voted for Trump, is haunted.

Melber: You’re saying the VP has low T. You’ve called Mike Rogers a beta.

El-Sayed: I'm just saying that they like to lead on strength. Strength is about being able to stand up to the problem. The problem is Donald Trump, and you don't see much standing up to Donald Trump

Louisiana US House, Dist 1:
Check out Lauren Jewett's campaign. This is our NATION'S chance to send Steve Scalise home.
He has never done anything for Louisiana, much less the district whose seat he holds.
Louisiana needs a representative, not a GOP servant. #Louisiana

We’re honored to share that our campaign has been endorsed by Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund.

This work isn’t new to me. I’ve spent years alongside the Moms Demand Action New Orleans chapter — talking to state legislators about safe gun storage bills and opposing arming teachers.

Boykin: The Republicans control the entire government. They control the white house. They control the house. They control the senate. They control six of the nine seats on the supreme court. If you're not happy with the way the country is running America, blame the Republicans.

Isn’t it interesting though that Mike Johnson shrugs all this off as just provocative things said just to create a “persona online” from one of his ACTUAL NOMINEES FOR CONGRESS, but Hasan Piker, who isn’t running for anything, supposedly represents the entire Democratic Party.

Hey #ElonMusk‼️ It looks a lot like the people of #Louisiana like their Bayou! Why didn’t you and Governor Landry hold public hearings and solicit residents for comments before doing a back room deal to put up Elon’s launching pads on 130,000 acres of Public Land⁉️

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

It is genuinely bizarre that we’ve become acclimatized to right wingers throwing a tantrum every time a black person (particularly a black woman) is cast in something, but are also supposed to pretend that this is not racism but related to some other substantive concern.
