Donald may have a new reality show in his future.

Justice Kavanaugh: "and those individuals may promptly go free after making clear to the immigration officers that they are U.S. citizens or otherwise legally in the United States."

My sentiments exactly.

It’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Without health care, Americans won’t get the screenings they need to detect cancer early and get the care they need. We should be extending the health care tax credits—not letting premiums double for tens of millions of Americans.

The real question is: Why the hell do they keep giving him cognitive tests?

Walz: "We have a federal system that we're all in it together, we help other states when they need it, but we have a situation where they're trying to divide us & provide specific aid to states that they like at the moment, which is absolutely unconscionable... either that or give us our money back"

Houston, Texas ICE GOONS hospitalized a 16-year-old U.S. citizen on his way to school. The teen, a star football and soccer player, was violently detained alongside his father. Despite his cries for help, “I’m underage!” the agents tackled him, resulting in severe neck and back injuries.

Over and over in the Gospels, Jesus made it clear: food is not something people need to prove themselves worthy of. This is not about humanity deserving to be fed but about the inhumanity of those withholding the meal... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/jesus-fed-...

When did making kids go hungry become a Christian value?

These days, thanks to Trump's love of the wealthy and contempt for democracy, we're seeing more and more lean into the belief that they should get whatever they want and the little people will have to suffer. The billionaires aligned against Mamdani is only the latest sign of the trend.

Tim Walz: "People are gonna be lined up out here to get food, and we're talking about a damn ballroom. Don't lose the plot."

CBS News circles the drain as it continues its Newsmaxification under Bari Weiss

Compare this to how Whitmer just dismissed the idea of anyone caring about tearing down the White House

The disappearance of America’s leadership class at a time like this means that the rest of us have to be leaders. We can no longer wait to be led by those with the power and authority to lead. You must lead, I must lead, all of us must lead. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

CNN editor-in-chief Mark Thompson, following a While House meeting, sought to soften the news network's coverage of President Trump's demolition of the East Wing, claiming viewers aren't that interested in the story, according to the Status newsletter.

Donald Trump’s America where simply having brown skin means you’re going to be terrorized by ICE thugs, with NO warrant, while running daily errands. Reminder: IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY! Trump and his vile ilk have got to go.

NBC wants you to trust its coverage of the East Wing demolition even though NBC's parent company helped pay for the destruction.

Had a Nazi tattoo for 10+ years. Bragged to friends about having a Nazi tattoo for years. Condemned female colleagues for their own rapes. Posted it was fine for people to get SS tattoos. Didn't cover up his tattoo until he got caught, and then chose a questionable one. WTF are you talking about?

Congress basically doesn’t exist at this point

Tear gassing random residential streets is just absolutely psychotic behavior.

The energy we need is this suburban dad standing out in the street -- barefoot with Blackhawks pajama pants on -- screaming at the masked goons to get the fuck out of their neighborhood.

President Trump has taken a wrecking ball to our democracy while refusing to do anything to end the shutdown and stop millions of Americans’ health care premiums from doubling.

Josh Marshall; gift link. Civic virtue is incredibly important. People who study crime say: most people don’t commit crimes not because they’re scared of punishment, but because you just don’t do that. Imagine how awful it would be if that weren’t true; if we couldn’t rely on people’s decency.

In Oakland, California, an ICE GOON shot a local clergyman point-blank.

The demolished East Wing is a monument to this regime's destruction of our system of checks and balances, and the process of democratic governance. It is a monument of rubble.

“Don’t protest.” Not great when federal law enforcement leaders start directly and openly denying the existence of the literal and explicit First Amendment.

“…a weak and broken man like Donald Trump cannot succeed without the support of rich and powerful enablers. From the feckless & compliant Republican Congress to the billionaires and corporate executives, money is just as essential to his success as obedience.” www.americaamerica.news/p/gold-greed...

For decades, the White House’s 42-seat movie theater was a refuge for the commander in chief. Now it is gone, demolished this week along with the rest of the East Wing as part of President Trump’s efforts to construct a $300 million ballroom.

A federal judge ORDERS senior Border Patrol officer Greg Bovino—the face of Chicago's Operation Midway Blitz — to attend in person at a hearing she just set on Tuesday. He's accused of violating her order by lobbing tear gas into a crowd. More on Bovino www.allrisenews.com/p/general-sc...

Federal agents tear gassing the Lake View neighborhood.

JFC.

From the people that pretend to be Christian, they hit a clergyman directly while protesting. They’ve gone from attacking marginalized communities to attacking the community in general. Now they are openly attacking religious institutions.

Exactly what all DC Dems should be doing

Last November, these states voted for Trump because he promised to lower costs on Day 1. Now, insurance premiums are set to double because he won't extend the health care tax credits. Americans across the country want to lower costs, not raise them.

The East Wing is gone. It was simply erased to make room for Donald Trump’s Mighty Works, which, in this case is a colossal ballroom, an enduring metaphor for his vanity, arrogance, and what his presidency represents. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

Live reactions to the demolition of the East Wing with my friend @warren.senate.gov

This is not a Kavanaugh stop. This is a Roberts murder.

I didn't believe it. But it's true. What appalling people. Just wall-to-wall degradation.

Just incredible how literally everything that used to matter has been cast aside for this One Special Boy. A total, comprehensive failure of every political & societal institution.

Donald Trump's administration is treating the people of this country as an adversary. It's pushing the boundaries of its authority, terrorizing our communities, and disregarding all accountability. We will not meet intimidation with fear — we will meet it with truth.

Holy shit! That motherfucker TORE DOWN THE WHITE HOUSE!

The White House East Wing has been completely demolished. The demolition is basically at the main White House walls.

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

Leavitt: At this moment in time, the ballroom is really the president's main priority.

Chicago area religious leaders have been hit with tear gas and pepper balls outside the Broadview ICE facility. They also say immigrants are being denied pastoral care inside the facility. trib.al/p3gX5fV
