Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks. They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors. Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption. Watch how they vote this week.

Oh, MAGA influencers are big worried re this war

Nine months ago, the United States "completely and totally obliterated" Iran's nuclear program. Tonight, we're attacking Iran to disrupt their nuclear program. A sizable percentage of this country thinks that's normal.

Hmmm. In Epstein's sweetheart deal he got immunity for co-conspirators. Why when DOJ and FBI says there were NO co-conspirators?

So sad to learn we lost Robert Carradine. Wonderful actor... wonderful friend. Deepest condolences to all his fans, family & loved ones. #RestInPowerBobby 💔

During the marathon campaign rally that Trump called his SOTU speech, he "unveiled" a proposal for the federal government to provide matching contributions of up to $1,000 per year to the retirement accounts of low-wage earners. It's a great idea. It is also already a law signed by Biden in 2022.

Declaring war against Iran won’t stop us from talking about the Epstein files. We can multitask.

What life looks like at night in a remote Alaskan village…

So the President of the United States illegally taxed our groceries, clothes, and other basics goods for nearly a year. Where’s our refund?

What problem is Trump's new global 10% tariff meant to solve? If it's about leverage, ask: How much leverage do you get from a tariff that disappears in 150 days? If it's onshoring: Who builds new factories based on tariff that disappear before the factory is built? It's a tax. That's all it is.

A reminder that no matter how many videos of ICE abuses appear online, a chunk of America, a big chunk of Trump’s base, is not just totally fine with it, they want it, enjoy it, revel in it. The cruelty is indeed the point. The rest of us non-sociopaths need to reckon with that depressing reality.

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

"The owners of a Dallas County warehouse that ICE had planned to use as a mega detention center said Monday it will not sell or lease the property to the federal government. “God answered our prayers,” the Hutchins Mayor said after learning of the decision... www.dallasnews.com/news/immigra...

The subject makes possessive but seemingly conciliatory declarations toward his victim, deploying deception and manipulation tactics to bind the relationship, occasionally showing tenderness when necessary to further his goals.

🙌✊The Epstein Files may very well be the scandal of our times-well beyond the unacceptable, unconscionable abuse of young girls. There's evidence that these girls were used for 'Kompromat'-to blackmail, extort, manipulate public figures for diabolical purposes we need to expose

We'll see....😈

Law enforcement cannot be lawless. Thousands of aggressive, untrained agents of the federal government continue to injure and terrorize Minnesotans. This must end. apnews.com/article/immi...

Ryan Grim is an American author and journalist. He was Washington, D.C., bureau chief for HuffPost and formerly the Washington, D.C., bureau chief for The Intercept.

Holy shit.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

TIL they’re calling DHS’s operation in Maine “Catch of the Day.” This dehumanizing language tells you all you need to know. It’s a big joke to them.

🚨 ICE is creating a watchlist of anyone and everyone who films them, DHS sources tell me: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/ice-making...

Trump sold the oil from a seized Venezuelan tanker for $500,000,000.. Where is the money? He deposited it in a bank in Qatar where Congress can't get to it. He stole the oil from Venezuela, but he stole the money from America. Why has Congress not impeached and imprisoned him for his crimes?

California Gov. Newsom announced just one day after the U.S. officially withdrew from the World Health Organization (WH0) that his state would become the first to join the organization's Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network, in a seeming rebuke of the 🍊💩!!!

FYI: Dems in the senate can't defund ICE. ICE is funded by the Big Ugly Bill. Shutting down DHS on this vote wouldn't touch ICE, but it would shut down FEMA, TSA, Coast Guard, etc. Shutting down ICE requires taking back Congress in the midterms. Dismantling DHS requires the White House in 2028.

Bill Clinton releasing a statement saying 'release the Epstein files, you cowards' was not on my bingo list.
