Every Democratic candidate has been handed a golden sword.
Shapiro: Somehow, he can’t find the money to pay for healthcare, but he can steal from you to pay off the criminals who stormed the Capitol.

OMG!!! The little boy who Bad Bunny handed his Grammy to at the Super Bowl was Liam Ramos!!!
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The boy BB gave his Grammy to during the SB wasn’t Liam Ramos—it was child actor Lincoln Fox. He posted on Instagram: ‘I’ll remember this day forever! It was my truest honor.’ His outfit echoed young Benito’s childhood photos, symbolizing dreams for the next generation. instagram.com/the_lincfox?ig… instagram.com/reel/DUhUaQpEd… x.com/byrdieggg/stat…

Honestly a lot of people feel this way

This is unacceptable. Rep. Grijalva was just doing her job looking out for her community, and she got pepper sprayed for it. I know she won't let it stop her from fighting for her constituents.
ICE just conducted a raid by Taco Giro in Tucson - a small mom-and-pop restaurant that has served our community for years. When I presented myself as a Member of Congress asking for more information, I was pushed-aside and pepper sprayed.

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Federal Judge William Young, a Reagan appointee: “ICE goes masked for a single reason — to terrorize Americans into quiescence…In all our history we have never tolerated an armed, masked secret police.” RETWEET to thank Judge Young for standing up for our democracy!

Replying to @Rasmussen_Poll
FACT CHECK: The FCC licenses individual local broadcast stations (such as ABC-owned-and-operated stations like WABC-TV in New York or KABC-TV in Los Angeles, and its numerous affiliates across the U.S.). FCC chair Carr threatened to come for these licenses earlier today. Benny Johnson posted excitedly about it!

Free speech advocates on the right have a lot of heavy lifting to do.
BREAKING: ABC has pulled Jimmy Kimmel Live! off the air indefinitely following comments he made in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder. Trump’s FCC chair, Brendan Carr, earlier appeared on MAGA propagandist Benny Johnson’s show and threatened to revoke ABC and Disney’s broadcast licenses if they didn’t take action against Kimmel.

This is the most straightforward attack on free speech from state actors I've ever seen in my life and it's not even close.
BREAKNG: Disney's ABC is pulling Jimmy Kimmel indefinitely after late night host's recent remarks about Charlie Kirk. Move comes as ABC affiliate groups told network they would be dropping the host.

NEWS: A federal appeals court ruling upheld the law I led to allow Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices. I submitted an amicus brief to the court arguing for the constitutionality of this law. This is a major victory for seniors and affordable health care.

The State of Illinois at this time has received no requests or outreach from the federal government asking if we need assistance, and we have made no requests for federal intervention.

My own story is only because of the promise of this great nation. America is a land of freedom, hope and potential — where four generations after making it your home, your great grandchild can be Governor. I’m so proud to stand with you all today as your fellow citizen.

So much for lowering prices on Day One! Grocery bills are sky-high and Trump’s tariffs are only making it worse. Americans are hurting, 17 million people are about to lose their Medicaid and the GOP is handing out tax cuts to billionaires.
