This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Reminder there is no evidence that any initial statements by ICE or DHS should be trusted — and reporters should state that in all coverage and stories. Every ICE shooting we’ve seen the agency lie about the circumstances.

BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani announces click-to-cancel rule for NYC. This rule is aimed at guaranteeing New Yorkers can cancel subscriptions as easily as they sign up — and stopping corporations from trapping customers. This will save New Yorkers up to $162.5 million per year.

WE FOUND THE ELECTION FRAUD‼️ Ken Paxton may have violated Texas election law by voting from an address where he allegedly didn’t live. Under Texas law, knowingly voting while ineligible is a second degree felony, punishable by up to 20 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

You Texans better wise up at what’s at stake in Texas and all around the country. This nasty government here don’t care about you nor your family and kids !

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

While you can’t afford a trip for your family this summer, you just paid for Sean Duffy’s 7-month road trip at $4.55 per gallon of gas.

The Black NFL and all other sports Black players should refuse to entertain white supremacist in their towns and stadiums like the days of Jim Crow tap dancers.

There is no clearer case for the necessity of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 than how quickly southern states moved to eliminate Black-majority districts and dilute Black power after SCOTUS eroded Section 2. SCOTUS’s reasoning was immediately disproven by reality.

The Epstein case is so bad the government gave you a war, a new virus, and aliens to keep you distracted from it. Sit with that as long as you need.

Is there someone dead in the lobby or is there someone in custody? Was the person armed or not? Did he make it into the ballroom or not? Usually there should be a pretty wide grace period on finding this out, but there are literally hundreds of reporters in the room and nobody knows shit.

If they continue that WHCD and Felon Trump still speaks on that open stage after Secret Service shot and killed someone in the hotel lobby, there is something seriously wrong with these people.

Meta just paid the lowest effective federal tax rate in its history. Thanks to tax breaks and loopholes, it avoided $13.7B in 2025 federal income taxes. But now it's planning to lay off 10% of its global workforce (8,000 people) by May 20 — with more job cuts later this year. Trickle down hoax.

Tesla saved $400 million on its federal taxes by shifting billions of its U.S. profits to countries with lower tax rates. Yes: While you paid your taxes in full, giant corporations maneuvered to pay as little as possible — and it’s all perfectly legal for them. The system is rigged.

Congrats on “opening” a strait that was open six weeks ago, and all it cost was at least 13 dead service members, thousands of dead Iranian civilians, tens of billions in taxpayer dollars, our loss in global standing, and the Iranian regime’s increase in power. Phenomenal work.

Republicans screaming about removal of Swalwell while not calling for the removal of Tony Gonzales is soooooo republican. Let Democrats show you how it’s done: They both need to go.
