Democracy died. Fascism is here. Legal residents of the United States sent to foreign prisons without due process. Students detained after voicing their opinions. Federal judges threatened with impeachment for ruling against trumps priorities.

BREAKING: Gavin Newsom signs legislation to ban face coverings for federal agents.

White House border czar Tom Homan was investigated by federal law enforcement last year and was caught on camera accepting $50,000 in cash from agents who were posing as business executives seeking government contracts. Trump administration officials now decry the probe as “politically motivated.”

What’s more astonishing: 1) that the president clearly believes, and repeatedly suggests, that asylum seekers are people from mental asylums, or 2) that no journalist has ever challenged him on this and no mainstream media outlets have done any deep dives on this story?

Wow. Not at all surprising, but wow. Blatant corruption is perfectly fine (encouraged, even) in this administration.

Giving a bully your lunch money is only a temporary downpayment for future bullying. We ALL need to step up for the first amendment. By-the-way, for the record, this ex-Disney employee finds Jimmy Kimmel very talented and funny. mh

Don't forget "Oswald acted alone"

The #Defense Department is requiring #journalists agree to submit anything they publish about it for #government #approval as a condition of #access, the latest Trump administration effort to control during peacetime what information the public learns about military operations. [Link in ALT]

ABC: Remember Rudy Giuliani? He stiffed his lawyers, and a judge just ruled he must pay them $1.36 Million. Deadbeat. ETTD.

It’s also straight up gullibility. I live in MAGA country farm world. They bought the idea that so many Americans were out of work that they would be swarming to get jobs working in the fields. Guess what? Not true.. This is what cult leaders do. Prey on those who are gullible.

I live in Memphis on probably the busiest street and near a Home Depot. We retirees are organizing our protest for my 25' porch, complete with seating, coolers, signs, telephone charging capability, etc. ICE is our major target with our cameras and middle fingers. Should be interesting!!!

My theory is that big money guys-including Leon Black who gave Epstein, a man fired from cushy job teaching math at a private high school bec he couldn't add, $170m consulting fee-I think that was underwriting a business plan for Epstein to create isolated spaces for men to rape children unseen

CBN: Grocery prices last month rose at their fastest rate in 3 years, caused by Trump’s tariffs, Trump’s attacks on migrant labor, and Trump ignoring climate change. Trump: “When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting Day One”. Post election: “It’s hard to bring things down”. 🤡

Led by Jamie Dimon who had the audacity beg for bailouts and lecture the US on TV. Notice we don’t see his smug face anymore.

WAPO: Trump has forced the removal by the National Park Service of all signs referencing climate change, slavery in America, internment of the Nisei, and conflicts with Native Americans. How fragile Trump is.

WAPO: Mootilda the cow was minutes from death in a slaughterhouse in AZ, when she escaped, running terrorized down a road for 3 miles. Ultimately re-captured, Mootilda’s plight came to the attention of Aimee’s Farm Animal Sanctuary, which raised $2,500 in a few hours to rescue her, she’s now safe.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

The Bureau of Labor Statistics postponed the release of a key annual report that is central to future inflation data. I’m sure it’s because the numbers are really, really good.

Esquire: Trump, faced with determined resistance from Gov JB Pritzker and elected officials in Chicago, has backed square down on his promise to invade Chicago with the National Guard. TACO, the gutless worm. So now he has picked an easier target: Memphis.

Esquire: JPMorgan had a long and lucrative relationship with the biggest flesh peddler in American history- Jeffrey Epstein, despite clear and convincing evidence that Epstein was engaging in immoral and illegal practices. Greedy scumbags.

Esquire: John Painter, dairy farmer in Pennsylvania, 3 time Trump voter, whines that after Trump did exactly what he said he would do- gut migrant labor- now Painter can’t get cheap labor that will “do the jobs Americans are too spoiled to do”. What a self pitying dumbass. Schadenfreude

Looks Like China/Russia doesn’t like Europe backing Ukraine 🇺🇦 Cyberattack causes disruption at European airports including Heathrow, Brussels - www.reuters.com/en/cyberatta...

And with education standards slipping, the price of college and medical school and the shit ton of time and effort involved in residency and fellowship we’ll see our health care crisis take a dive into complete collapse…

There goes the First Amendment.

The “authorization” will come from Pete Hegseth's closest advisers: -Captain Morgan -Master Sgt. Jim Beam -Lieutenant Johnnie Walker -Lt. Col. Jack Daniels

Hey Brendan "we can do this the easy way or the hard way" Carr: Last year in National Rifle Association v. Vullo, the Supreme Court unanimously reaffirmed this fundamental principle of our constitutional republic:

Trump: "When 97% of the stories are bad about a person, that's no longer free speech."

Right-wingers are calling for my arrest. You know why? Because they know I’m the only candidate in my race who will actually stand up to ICE and Trump. And they’re right.

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) sued Maine and Oregon Tuesday, alleging that the states violated federal voting laws by refusing a department demand to hand over their voter rolls. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

LATimes: Bill Cassidy finally stands up for science: Weapons grade asshole Markwayne Mullin accused Dr Susan Monoraz of lying, threatening that her conversation with Kennedy was recorded. Cassidy forced Mullin to admit there was no such recording, and spoke about protecting babies from hepatitis B.

⚠️ Trump plans to introduce a new $100,000 #application #fee for #H-1B worker #visas, according to a White House official, in an effort to reduce their use as part of his broader #immigration #crackdown reut.rs/4mlNzvL

Trump will come for all of us. He will bar organizations that criticize him. Intimidate critics for speaking negatively about the administration in public. He will turn the power of the Department of Justice to investigate any organization or person who opposes him and his administration.

ABC: Trump is expected to fire ED Virginia Asst US Attorney Erik Siebert after investigators were unable to find any evidence of alleged mortgage fraud by NY State AG Leticia James, despite Trump’s and Bill Pulte’s claims; Asst US Atty Siebert resisted filing bogus indictment against her.

WAPO: Trump appointed judge Timothy Kelly says DOJ attorney Drew Ensign lied to him in court regarding the facts surrounding Trump’s attempted forced emigration of Guatemalan children. DOJ sent a different lawyer to the next hearing, and she had to admit she could not verify Ensign’s representations

I got a donation request from that turncoat quisling POS John Fetterman, who continues to do exactly what Trump tells him.
