If you don’t like what you’re seeing at Delaney Hall, pay attention to what’s happening in Congress this week.   We must stop giving ICE and for-profit companies like GEO Group a blank check to create chaos.

Jimmy Fallon took aim at Trump’s $250 million celebration, joking about a party so expensive it makes a wedding, a midlife crisis & a reality TV finale look budget-conscious. Nothing says “man of the people” quite like throwing yourself a quarter-billion-dollar party! 👏👏👏👏👏 #SheShed

This is how evil Trump’s Justice Department is: It removed thousands of documents about the January 6, 2021 insurrectionists from its website. @lawfaremedia.org has preserved & posted it. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

Everyone should subscribe to Stephen Colbert’s new YouTube channel. Get him millions of subscribers as a big FUCK YOU to the Ellison’s and CBS!! youtube.com/watch?v=jJTX...

Reporter: Ken Paxton has taken to calling you ‘Talafreako’ @JamesTalarico: If Ken Paxton is worried about freaks, he should stop giving Epstein-style sweetheart deals to pedophiles. This is the guy who just released Adam Hoffman from jail, an admitted child rapist.

“This constant lying is not aimed at making the people believe a lie, but at ensuring that no one believes anything anymore. A people that can no longer distinguish between truth and lies cannot distinguish between right and wrong… With such a people, you can do whatever you want.” Hannah Arendt

The Republican Party quietly deleted their own ad attacking Ken Paxton's record on crime... because Paxton is now the Republican Party's nominee to represent Texas in the U.S. Senate. Figured if the ad is important enough to delete, it's important enough to see...

My Paxton reaction from last night. youtu.be/EAf3LIRDH1Y?...

Nearly 200 people killed in Trump administration’s deadly campaign as strikes draw widespread condemnation

There are a bunch of important points here, including that congressmembers trying to do oversight are finding empty rooms because the facility is on lockdown when they visit. This is a pure authoritarian move, hiding violations by adhering to the technical form but not the substance of oversight

NO TRUER WORDS!!

The book-banners are at it again. We're all tired, I know, but please consider calling your house reps and senators to demand they vote NO on this trifecta of book-banning bigotry. They win when we give up. So we can't give up.

🧵3 Memorial Day The heroes that Trump said early today He got a Kick out of only losing 13 Vile pig Trump Think of these families Walk in their shoes Honor Them All My heartfelt condolences They should be alive today But Trump OPERATION EPIC FAILURE America, what have we become

a US senator was pepper-sprayed for protesting ICE in Newark today right around the time that we were recording a rundown of the dismissal of charges brought against a congressional candidate who was thrown to the ground by an officer for protesting ICE

This is what we are fighting to protect. Watch history come alive on a 19th-century press as Howard crafts a timeless tribute for Memorial Day. Watch until the end for a beautiful, quiet reminder that our democracy is a living legacy of those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Instead of engaging with me and others about the poor conditions, ICE sent in an armored vehicle and a line of armed agents that only poured gasoline on the fire. Civilians were tackled and restrained, and agents fired pepper balls and spray into the crowd. 2/4

What I witnessed and experienced today was shameful. Delaney Hall is a failure; it’s this administration’s failure. The only way to make this right for our communities is to shut it down and make sure the failures we’ve seen never happen again. 4/4

🚨ICE agents just tear-gassed U.S. SenAndy Kim at Delaney Hall detention facility in NJ. Kim was supporting hunger-striking detainees protesting spoiled food, no medical care & extreme heat when federal agents unleashed tear gas &pepper spray Kim struggled to breathe & injured his hand in the chaos

that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. Abraham Lincoln, November 19, 1863...7/7

that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain --6/7

It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- 5/7

The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. 4/7

as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. 3/7

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, 2/7

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. 1/7

I saw chaos inside and outside of the ICE detention center Delaney Hall today. Detainees protesting the lack of due process, the disgusting food and poor treatment while their families and advocates stood outside calling for help. 1/4

Let's make them pay for their lies! Here is a list of the most popular brands owned by Skydance, the parent company of CBS: Showtime Comedy Central Nickelodeon BET MTV CMT Paramount Pictures Paramount+ Paramount Sports CBS CBS News CBS Sports

Rep. Thomas Massie may read the redacted names of the monsters involved in the Epstein files before leaving his seat. Make it happen sooner than later, Justice needs to be served for the survivors and their relatives.

😎🪴🌵 we want #EpsteinFiles names

Today I spoke to @libradunn1.bsky.social and @brendanballou.bsky.social about their lawsuit to dissolve the $1.8B slush fund. You can watch it here. No paywalls! www.muellershewrote.com/p/new-capito...

Thomas Massie says he WILL read the Epstein client names on the House floor before he leaves Congress. He already named Leon Black and Jes Staley in February. He lost his seat for this. He no longer has anything to lose. The clock is ticking. 🔥🔥🔥 #EpsteinFiles #Massie #USDemocracy #Pinks

FEMA’s top official said that the “vast majority” of calls were answered during the deadly Texas floods. But new data indicates that the agency failed to answer 58% of the calls, and the average wait was 61 minutes at the peak.

Watching a series of former Confederate states rush to eliminate any vestige of black representation in the House pretty much answers the question whether the Voting Rights Act was still necessary.

THIS DAMMIT!!! We have to maintain the pressure on "Cheeto Pedo" Trump and all the rest of the Epstein Class pedo pervs in the corridors of power in our government, walking on our city streets, exercising authority in our halls of finance and education and elsewhere! We will bring them to justice!

Stephen, now that your contract with CBS is officially over, we wanted to personally send you this letter about why we think you should partner with the MeidasTouch Network.

Every American should be disgusted by this.

Nothing makes you look guiltier than forcing the Justice Department to promise never to investigate your taxes or prosecute you for anything they might find

He made the promise. You believed it. Groceries up. Health insurance premiums up. Every single headline says the same thing — costs are crushing people and there is no relief coming. This wasn’t bad luck. This was a choice he made for you. 😤 #TrumpsGroceryCrisis
