ICE has violated almost 100 court orders. Let me say that another way. 100 times ICE was caught brazenly ignoring the law. 100 times a court told them to immediately stop. And 100 times they ignored the order. That's an out-of-control agency that shouldn't get another dime.

I'm the daughter of an Army paratrooper who refused orders during our illegal invasion of Vietnam back in the day. He went to LBJ military jail. Dad taught his girls this: "Just following orders" is NEVER any excuse for anyone who's complicit in war crimes. You MUST refuse heinous orders.

Two hours left to live, what are you guys listening to?

It is truly wild to see these guys taking SO LONG to realize no one wants this. Like it never occurred to them?

A comfortable life used to be the American Dream. Not being a financial mogul. Not fighting for the top spot on the food chain. Working to get your share of the pie with the whip cream on top. Grabbing enough food to fill your plate, but leaving plenty on the table for others. Let’s do that again.

#Seaweed farms are a dual solution for climate change & sustainable energy. - don't require freshwater, fertilizer, or arable land to grow, making it one of the most eco-friendly resources - naturally absorbs massive amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis helping 1/...

Insightful thread, and a good reminder that the Republican bill isn’t Trumpism, it’s mainstream Republican policy. Note that most hesitant R’s wanted either _more_ spending cuts or _more_ borrowing and debt. Some wanted more of both.

$150B to ICE will be about $10B to actual ICE, and the rest will become Cocaine and Yachts. The trick is for media to report on the corruption without getting murdered, which is what happens in most counties that are as lawless as the U.S. is right now.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Take 3 minutes to watch Rep Dr. Kim Schrier give a masterclass on how to use your committee time. 👇

It’s finally infrastructure week, now that Biden and the Democrats did the infrastructure bill!

Neguse was grilling Jim Jordan so hard this morning over language in the reconciliation bill to restrict federal judges' ability to enforce court penalties that Jordan had to consult with his lawyers

The incompetence is off the charts.

“IDEAS”

Pretty sure our country began with illegal ideas crossing the border. The stupidity is breathtaking.

WASHINGTON (AP) — AP wins reinstatement to White House events after judge rules government can’t bar its journalists, citing 1st Amendment.

Welcome to the dumbest administration

As the economic news keeps coming out over the coming weeks keep one thing in mind: this is the fault of one man and didn’t need to happen.

Buckle up for one of the nastiest Black Mondays in Wall Street history.

Happy ace day 🖤🩶🤍💜

In honor of ace day, I wanted to share one of my personal favorite pieces from last year! 🖤🩶🤍💜 Not super ace themed, but it's got the flag colors in the palette and it's a representation of myself. It was a fun crossover I did between two of my favorite games! [ 🎨 #art ]

Good day to remember that DOGE has already lost the US government at least half a trillion dollars this year alone. And likely more.

You guys wanna see a dead body 🤣💀

Sign of the day…Chicago

Trump will Make America Screwed Again.

Definitely a sign of rational decisionmaking to be yelling at the world in ALLCAPS.

GOP Senators voted to cancel Donold’s tariffs on Canada. I almost forgot that Congress could rebuke him if they really wanted to.

The road to fascism is paved with bitches telling you “it’s not that serious”

Tell me again why we’re letting a 78 year old, legit smelly, odorous, frail, loser old man who bankrupted a CASINO bankrupt the country? Congress? Any answers?

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory. Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

I can’t believe this has to be said, but: You cannot tell the story of Jackie Robinson—as a ballplayer, serviceman, or human—without discussing our country’s history of racism. From Around the Horn:

“Goldberg has responded to questions about the photo, telling CBS News: ‘If your eyeballs see us together, then I guess your eyeballs are seeing us together.’”

If you support invading Canada or Greenland, you are a horrible person without a shred of morality or intelligence.

Just in case you missed this from Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker: "Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face."

PSA: there are not “methods” for Donald Trump to serve a third term and anyone who tells you otherwise is a motherfucking idiot.

We've heard concerning things about the Social Security Administration lately, so I decided to check for myself. SSA says Wednesday is the best day to call, so I called then. Their system told me there would be a two-hour wait time, told me to call back, and then just hung up.
