Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack. Thank you to everyone who demanded freedom for Liam. We

The “Melania” premiere at the Kennedy Center has been like the McDonald’s drive-thru of senior official interviews. I’ve spoken with much of the cabinet and the House speaker within a span of 30 minutes.

I didn’t do any of those things because I fear losing my dignity more than I fear losing my life. Something you coward losers will never understand. So fuck off.

Just visited with Liam and his father at Dilley detention center. I demanded his release and told him how much his family, his school, and our country loves him and is praying for him.

From @springsteen : I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex

This moment calls for leaders who fight tooth and nail in Congress, stand shoulder to shoulder with us in the streets, and aren’t afraid to share our anger and fight alongside us.
Enough bullshit. I’ll go anywhere and talk to anyone, but I won’t stand by while people are publicly executed and our communities are terrorized. Tear ICE down and replace it.

I have been saying for WEEKS this is about the election and here is Pam Bondi confirming my analysis. WAKE UP FOLKS. In 2024: All 134 seats in the Minnesota House of Representatives were on the ballot. The result was a tie SPLIT EVENLY between GOP and DEMS. In the state

I’m not voting to fund this lawless violence. Trump’s abuse of power is tearing us apart. We have three years left of this presidency, and either we stand up and protect our democracy now, or we risk going down a path that is unthinkable, will hurt countless people and do
Reminder: DHS legislation that funds ICE at current levels without policy restrictions is in the Senate and needs 60 votes to pass. Deadline is next Friday.

"Pretti was a U.S. citizen, born in Illinois. Like Good, court records showed he had no criminal record and his family said he had never had any interactions with law enforcement beyond a couple of traffic tickets."

I worked with Austin in ’22 and saw up close how his work was rooted in serving people. That’s why I was proud to help write his relaunch speech. He understands the challenges people face because he’s lived them. That kind of honest dedication is exactly what we need now.
Here in Pennsylvania, we’ve stuck to our values and fought back against the chaos, fear, and division coming from the politicians in Washington, DC. We’ve protected our freedoms so that Pennsylvanians can make their own choices and have the opportunity to live their American

"Fish, family, and freedom” –– killer line
My name is Mary Peltola, and I'm running for U.S. Senate to fight for fish, family, and freedom – and that begins with fixing the rigged system in DC that’s shutting down Alaska. We need systemic change if we're going to fill our homes with abundance again.

This is a really nice moment where Rob Reiner reflects on Stand By Me as the film that meant the most to him, and talks about what it meant to Stephen King, whose story inspired it.

It’s like God gave you something, man. All those stories that you can make up. And he said, ‘This is what we’ve got for you, kid. Try not to lose it’ —“Stand by Me,” based on a @StephenKing novella, directed by Rob Reiner, a great storyteller.
