Absolutely unimaginable cruelty and ghoulishness. Yeah, one can't just "rein in" this kind of heartless and immoral monstrosity with some narrowly structured reforms with focus group tested buzzwords from fancy consultants in DC. If you think that's enough you are part of the ghoulishness.

President Miller's regime reportedly spent roughly $116,666 per person to deport 300 migrants to countries they had no connection to - like Rwanda, El Salvador or Eswatini, a kingdom in Southern Africa. So much for waste, fraud & abuse DOGE was zeroing in on.

It's the accountability stupid. Once again every Democrat who is running for federal office in 2026 and 2028 need to lay out clear plans or vision - on how they are going to push for accountability and justice for those responsible for abusing and dismantling our govt anchored in democracy.

We are barely into 2026 and I am already finding the discourse around 2028 primary exhausting.

Chuck Schumer and his band of Dems just want a kindler and gentler ICE - which will do the kidnapping of children and shipping people out to concentration camps - the right way. Seriously, why is it so difficult for Dems leader to say - they need to dismantle, gut & restructure this agency?

"There will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not!" lol Why not just issue an "Executive Order" to every voter to only vote Republican.

@andreapitzer.bsky.social "concentration camp regimes in their early stages often make use of large open infrastructure to convert into detention spaces. Dachau was converted from a shuttered factory into a concentration camp in 1933" degenerateart.beehiiv.com/p/building-t...

Ds can "speak with conviction about what they know to be right, wrong, and true. Rather than haggling over the precise words “abolish ICE,”" Ds "can stand for some basic principles: ICE is a catastrophic, irredeemable failure, and interior enforcement must be totally rethought from top to bottom."

"The plan’s $38 billion budget is more than the total annual spending for 22 states, according to state budget data." Dems should not only pay a dollar for this monstrosity - in the future - they will need to claw back all that money and the entire $75 billion Rs appropriated for this monstrosity.

Man, I love this message (not being corny I swear): "My wish for everyone this Valentine’s Day is simple: choose love. Love for a world that desperately needs leadership. Love for people who are still using X because leaders are still there. Love for your own sanity ..." ❤️

When I have spent 15 years suggesting that the Obama lawyers were inadequately committed to cracking down on elite criminality.... even I didn't envision that one of them was going to become a close friend of Jeffrey Epstein.

“Our working-class game has long been stolen by corporations that value greed and fortunes over the well-being of an ordinary man or woman” Powerful stuff from @shaunconnolly85.bsky.social laying out why Ratcliff’s so called apology aren’t enough. Why I love being part of #MUFC community. ❤️🤍🖤↘️

“What he’s doing with ICE is the worst thing right now. I would say the economy is the second worst thing … But I’m blessed … I don’t have to hide in the basement because my skin is brown.” - an independent voter in Michigan

The details of the Kristi Noem blanket incident are just fucking perfect

BREAKING: The Trump administraiton has committed a mass violation of ICE detainees' constitutional rights in MN, effectively blocking their acess to attorneys in the Whipple building, a judge ruled tonight. The judge: Trump appointeee Nancy Brasel storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

"United was built by people from elsewhere. The club’s greatest manager was a Scot. Its greatest player was Northern Irish. The city itself was shaped by Irish labourers who dug the canals, Caribbean nurses who staffed the hospitals, South Asian entrepreneurs who opened the businesses." ❤️🤍🖤

Yes, I know this is overused - but we need to keep doing this. F**king imagine the reaction from the pundits on cable tv news, elite dc political newsletters, NYT etc - and ofc the Republicans if Hunter Biden was doing something like this ...

Here we go. This was long expected. What Trump here doesn't matter - what's going to matter is whether Roberts & the 5 other Republican ops. on this #MAGA SCOTUS will give him and his big oil/polluter billionaire donors the license to destroy our communities (planet) making us sicker & die faster

"John Carter, a white Trump voter whose company provided security at La Catedral, told the Times that his 14-year-old daughter had had her hands zip-tied by federal agents." chickens coming home to roost ...

"Government sources and advocates for the children worry the goal is to concentrate them in Texas, where abortion is banned." "some were as young as 13 ..." This is beyond dark and monstrous ...

Breaking: Judge grants Mark Kelly a preliminary injunction against Hegseth, who is reconsidering his rank: "This Court has all it needs to conclude that Defendants have trampled on Sen. Kelly's First Amendment freedoms & threatened the constitutional liberties of millions of military retirees."

Did we expect anything else when this regime put in a MTV reality tv show bro turned Fox News right wing blowhard in charge of the Department of Transportation?

“the war on immigrants, in addition to being a moral and civil liberties nightmare, will make native-born Americans poorer — and send thousands of us to an early grave.” @pkrugman.bsky.social

JICYMI from. @vox.com ▶️ Holy shift: Under Pope Leo XIV, the US Catholic church is swinging to the left — and mobilizing against Trump's mass deportations.

Trump 2.0’s “affordability tour” is the new “infrastructure week” from Trump 1.0. When even the @playbookdc.bsky.social is mocking this ↘️

“President Trump has become so politically toxic that voters now say Joe Biden — whose unpopularity forced him into early retirement — did a better job as president.” @axios.com 🙃

Horrific comments by Ratcliffe today right when United appeared to making a charge. His comments stand against everything Manchester is about & its fanbase across the world. It’s also a disgraceful insult to our players and everything the United DNA stands for. I am appalled as a #mufc shareholder.

If you saw today's headline that Gallup will stop measuring presidential approval, they did the same thing in 2018. They do it whenever Trump is president.

Brutal 2025 number. And for context, the 130,000 for last month (also subject to revision), would have been considered an absolutely crap number under Biden, who averaged 336,000 per month over his term.

“Hughes-Brown, 59, is an Irish citizen and green-card holder who immigrated to the U.S. with her parents in 1978. Before last year, she never imagined she would become a target of the administration’s clampdown on immigration …”

Wait, collaboration between the Road Rules guy turned lobbyist and the Fox News weekend host are not technocratic and correct like as if they were done by career government officials. Huh, shocking!

“The more we learn, the more pedophilia and criminal use of cryptocurrency look related… Epstein, it turns out, was a major early investor in the crypto industry. In the backrooms of MAGA-land, passing around under-age girls is a lot like passing around insider crypto deals.” @pkrugman.bsky.social

““I’ve been locked in the same room now for 4 1/2 months,” Culleton told “Liveline” of his detainment. “I’ve had barely any outside time, no fresh air, no sunshine. I could probably count on both hands the amount of times I’ve been outside. So, I’ve just been locked in this room all day, every day.”

👀 “If these fuckers think that they’re going to intimidate us and threaten and bully me in the silence, and they’re going to go after political opponents and get us to back down, they have another thing coming …The tide is turning.” - Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO) in @punchbowlnews.bsky.social

When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.

I really don't understand why @warren.senate.gov keeps working with the likes of Josh Freaking Hawley. She is so good on number of policy fronts - but she keep showing how she is not fit for the moment we are in now. Warren keeps legislating in La La land as if everything were normal.

I DGAF what political party they belong to - hope people keep #theEpsteinClass out of Congress or in any elected office from hereon out. Enough is enough.

The NYT is "manufacturing consent" for the Trump regime's brutal immigration policies by centering Trump’s support among Republicans while downplaying how that "support diverges from the public at large." @jamisonfoser.bsky.social www.findinggravity.net/the-new-york...

Not going to be able to watch the game today as I am on the road - but I am there in spirit - wearing the same scarf I wore for Boxing Day in 2023. Comeon United - please break the Hammer curse in East London. 🙏🏼 #mufc

👀 “I don’t even know if they’re growing a spine, but they’re just realizing—this White House is a paper tiger. They’re just not as scary as they act.” - @adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social re business entities like the NFL not being afraid of Trump as the MAGA coalition continues to bleed out.

“The programs slated to be cut are in California, Colorado, Illinois and Minnesota. They include grants to state and local public health departments as well as to some nongovernmental organizations.” Monstrous ….

“He started so much, and it would have been good to have him around to see it to completion.” Alito misses Scalia and wishes he were around so he could also enjoy the former Republican operatives in judicial robes methodically shredding our fundamental rights - and degrading our democracy.

HEADS UP: The Trump regime is getting ready to revoke the "endangerment finding" that "could hamstring any future administration’s efforts to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. This is going to be a massive court fight - and time is now to put the spotlight about it on the Roberts #SCOTUS.

👀 Bad Bunny’s All American audience size blew the MAGA freakshow out of the worked Nearly 135 million turned in to watch the mesmerizing halftime show putting the Trump regime to shame.

Lutnick can't be a cabinet secretary for the U.S. given his reported engagement with Epstein especially given how the Republicans are dragging the Clintons into depositions (and I have no interest defending Clintons over Epstein). While Lutnick has to resign - Q is why didn't Trump vet him?

Hell no. It you're shilling for Palantir and the privatized surveillance state, GTFO. And as it happens, there's an great alternative in this primary— @mikesacks.bsky.social is exactly the kind of person we SHOULD be electing. theintercept.com/2026/02/09/n...

Fun story to read this am. The emerging crypto “backlash captures a deeper problem for Trump: Niche constituencies he courted in 2024 are growing disillusioned.” You love to see this www.axios.com/newsletters/...
