DHS’s internal watchdog system has been “gutted” the staff of Office for Civil Rights & Civil Liberties (CRCL) was cut from about 150 down to only 9 people. The cuts leave around 550 active investigations

Eliminating USAID has been a disaster:

Lindsey Graham sponsored the Afghan Adjustment Act: “This is the right thing to do. The people who were there with us in the fight who are here in America need to stay. This will be their new home. We have a moral obligation to these people and they will make great citizens.”

Hard to believe he wasn’t on top of all of this. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Didn’t the FBi pull a lot of personnel from anti terrorism to put them on deportations? Actually the whole security establishment pivoted

Finally, a "both sides" issue that doesn't make me want to smack someone. coloradosun.com/2025/11/25/t...

NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history." BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/2036...

Dem Lawmakers Get Bomb Threats After Trump Calls For Their Execution newrepublic.com/post/203557/... via @newrepublic.com

This is my kind of good trouble.

Mike Johnson is big mad that we forced through a petition and forced a vote on releasing the Epstein files. So let’s do it again. This time to restore the ACA credits he stole from us:

Rep. Jasmine Crockett has released receipts that reveal that ProPublica has reported that Kristi Noem secretly diverted hundreds of millions of dollars in Department of Homeland Security funds to a consulting firm affiliated with her own campaign.

This is fu*king outrageous! The federal government on Saturday dismissed charges against a Utah plastic surgeon accused of throwing away COVID-19 vaccines, giving children saline shots instead of the vaccine and selling faked vaccination cards. apnews.com/article/utah...

Keep this story in the news. "Man Detained by ICE Found Dead, Hanging With Hands and Feet Tied—Attorney" www.newsweek.com/ice-detainee...

Home invasions. Child sex crimes. Homicide. Just a couple things that some of the 1500+ January 6 defendants have been convicted of since Trump released them back onto our streets. The GOP isn't the party of law and order. They're the party of lawlessness and violence.

Vaccines based on mRNA can be tailored to target a cancer patient’s unique tumor mutations. But crumbling support for cancer and mRNA vaccine research has endangered this promising therapy

Trump: "You can't come in, open a massive computer chip factory for billions of dollars like is being done in Arizona, and think you're gonna hire people off an unemployment line to run it. They're gonna have to bring thousands of people with them and I'm gonna welcome those people. This is MAGA."

Rule of Law died in America 😕😠

Mob boss attacks female reporter again for her “attitude” and says he will ask his FCC commissioner to look into revoking her company’s broadcast license.

He actually did that. I may not be shocked, I may not be surprised, but that doesn't mean I'm not disgusted. I will never allow myself to get desensitized to how awful these fucking people are. people.com/donald-trump...

This should alarm everyone. On Thursday, Florida, by unanimous vote, became the first state in the country to adopt “The Phoenix Declaration: An American Vision for Education.” It was written by the Heritage Foundation, the same group behind Project 2025. THIS IS INDOCTRINATION

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

According to MAGA, 35 year old “Young Republicans” are “boys being boys” but 15 year old girls are fully grown women. Admittedly, I am not fluent in FoxNews-ese, but what am I missing here?

It's a revealing moment... J.D. Vance welcomes a two-legged robot helping on the job site. But if that helper is a person named Jose, he calls it a threat. Same tasks, same productivity boost. The inconsistency reveals this isn’t about economics.

What a photograph. “Nearly two dozen arrested as faith leaders protested outside a federal immigration facility near Chicago…” Arrested large amounts of peaceful clergy face first on pavement is a pretty good sign you’re not the good guys in the story. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

This picture says everything about the state of our nation right now, peaceful clergy being arrested and forced face-down on the pavement.

Good thing I found out I'm on the road to right wing extremism now, because if I had made it to thirty *one* years without meat, that's probably when it would have happened, right? 🤭 #VEGANISM www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOQN...

The ICE raid on a Chicago apartment building that saw doors kicked in, children zip-tied, and armed agents rappelling from a helicopter? It has resulted in ZERO criminal charges. www.propublica.org/article/chic...

Removing a monument honoring Black US soldiers has nothing to do with DEI. It’s erasure of history and it’s straight-up racism.

Palantir CEO, Peter Thiel.

NEW: Dems easily flipped the sheriff's office in Pennsylvania's Bucks County, a big swing county in the Philly suburbs. So? The incumbent GOP sheriff had contracted with ICE. His Dem challenger promised to end the contract. Now he wants other swing-state Dems to look at his victory as a lesson:

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office. No matter how they voted last night, every one of them has a say in maintaining Chuck Schumer and Dick Durbin as their caucus leaders. Every one of them is accountable here.

Let.them.hear.your.voice. CALL, email, and hit them on social media about the capitulation. Whether they voted for it or not. The December floor vote they voted for would need 60 votes to pass...they can't get that, and Grindr Mike Johnson already said he wouldn't allow it in the House.

If Border Patrol *leadership* are (proven) liars, what kind of example does that set, what are they telling employees to do behind closed doors, and how can any of them ever be trusted? www.youtube.com/watch?v=tu6A...
