Rep. Eric Swalwell gives update on deaf Hayward boy, family deported to Colombia On Monday, East Bay Congressman Eric Swalwell plans to provide an update on one Hayward family deported to Colombia.

ICE deported a Hayward family to Colombia, including a six year old deaf boy without his hearing.

@ericswalwell.bsky.social sent staff to Colombia with hearing aids for the boy, and they're working to find a way to bring the family back under humanitarian parole.

The less empathy a person has, the more likely they are to inflict pain, suffering, and death upon others.

Learning to differentiate those who have empathy from people who feign empathy – may save your life.

everything was hunky-dory until 1953. that’s when shit truly went sideways, after Mossadegh broke the eleventh commandment β€” Thou Shalt Not Fuck With Big Oil β€” by nationalizing Iran’s oil industry. our CIA and Britain’s MI6 got themselves worked into a Big Mad over this, and engineered a coup that overthrew Mossadegh and turned Iran back into a monarchy, restoring Reza Pahlavi as the Shah.

the thing about the Shah of Iran is that he was a repressive piece of shit who was hated by his people, and his fuckery led to the Iranian Revolution of 1979 β€” and that’s how Iran went from being a repressive monarchy to being a repressive theocracy. meet the new boss, yadda yadda.

that’s why we’re in this mess right now β€” because we couldn’t leave well enough alone 73 years ago.

did you know Iran used to be a western-style democracy, with an elected prime minister? but then one day in 1953, the CIA ousted him in a coup, and restored the repressive and corrupt Shah to power β€” that's REALLY how this mess all got started. you can read all about it in my post: bit.ly/4lfWn7c

Massive protests have been seen at Epstein’s other property, zorro ranch. The fact this administration thinks it can do obviously try to hide the co-conspirators will ultimately be their own undoing, we the people DEMAND justice!

At Donald's behest, the United States of America is committing crimes against humanity.

And the Republican Party is doing nothing to stop him.

Republican Rep. Kiley leaves GOP, tightening Johnson's margins Kiley said he will still caucus with Republicans for administrative purposes.

Name the policy, Rep. Kiley always voted with Trump. He's still backing Mike Johnson as Speaker, caucusing with the GOP, conceding their unpopular agenda and still going along with all their policies and insanity.

Zero in on Stephen Miller as a supervillain Democrats should make Trump’s unlikable adviser the face of the GOP

Stephen Miller is a fascist promoting a dictatorship. He's an offputting creep, too – the GOP's Dr. Evil. Republican Sen. Thom Tillis says he's a β€œbig problem” for Trump. But that's true only if Democrats take advantage and tie Miller to Republicans in the midterms.

BREAKING: Judge Brann has ejected the new leaders of the NJ U.S. attorney's office, once again finding the Trump administration is illegally attempting to circumvent Senate confirmation.

He says this could result in dismissals of indictments.

The NYT found that doctors hired by Epstein, for himself, the girls & women he associated with, bent or broke ethical rules. Epstein rewarded some of these medical professionals with substantial fees, gifts, & donations.

Johnson: I think what we are learning from the Epstein files was a well-coordinated act of treason. If you think about how they use blackmail to get policymakers to act outside of the best interests of this nation and our Constitution, that’s treason.

Exclusive | Trump Sons Back New Drone Company Targeting Pentagon Sales Powerus says it plans to acquire Ukrainian drone technology to sell to the U.S. military.

Don Jr. and Eric Trump backing a drone company to target military sales is a total collapse of American ethics. In any functioning democracy, the President’s family selling weapons to the military their father leads would be a federal crime.

Wahls: The war in Iran is going to be devastating for farm states like Iowa. You mentioned diesel β€” that is what the vast majority of farm machines, like tractors or combines, run on. And the cost of oil not only has a huge impact on fuel costs, it also has a huge impact on other farm inputs

My mentions have folks calling Talarico a "fascist" and assuring me that black Texans would never ever vote for anyone who uses Christian language.

For the good of democracy, I'm begging some of you to take a long break from social media. It's not helping you and you're definitely not helping us.

"Jews don't belong in American society."

Imagine a sitting member of Congress tweeting that. You can't. Thankfully, it'd never happen. And *if* it did, it'd be the end of their career and the biggest story in America.

But Ogles can say this about Muslims without any censure.

Obama calls on Virginians to vote for redistricting in special election β€œFree and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy, but right now they are under threat,” Obama said.

Early voting in Virginia has kicked into full gear as voters weigh a new map that could deliver four blue seats in Congress β€” and one former president is urging voters to say yes.

β€œVirginians can respond by making sure your voting power is not diminished by what Republicans are doing,” Obama said.
