With Congress at an impasse over federal spending, Republicans have emerged with a new and misleading talking point: Democrats are shutting down the government to fund free health care for unauthorized immigrants.

"One might think that if it’s all about esprit de corps, the easiest thing to do would be to notice that his secretary of defense has done more than any of his predecessors to damage the military’s esprit de corps, and tell him to stop." www.thebulwark.com/p/remember-t...

Tell me you're a republican MAGAt without telling me you're republican MAGAt.

A Republican shutdown would have dire consequences. Any effort to defund Medicare should be fought tooth and nail. The republicans would rather flood our ER’s and further burden our already over-taxed healthcare system.

Disgusting

Court-watchers confirm this cruel ICE agent has been reinstated. Last week, in the briefest moment of decency, violently throwing a woman to the floor was “beneath the men and women of ICE.” This week, it’s back to business as usual. The cruelty, after all, is the point.

There it is. Abolish ICE. www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-off...

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

You can not have probable cause to arrest a citizen for being unlawfully present in the United States. IOW, this is kidnapping, and felony assault, and battery, and deprivation of rights under color of law, and the sort of thing that IS probable cause to arrest and prosecute the people who did it.

lmao

This is the secret the Trump regime tried so hard to keep about the Dallas ICE shooting The names of the dead and wounded Jose Andres Bordones-Molina Miguel Ángel García-Hernandez Norlan Guzman-Fuentes Fight Trump's dehumanization. Say their names. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/dall...

Democratic Rep. Mikie Sherrill is launching a new digital ad in which her campaign claims President Donald Trump's administration and her Republican opponent's campaign violated the law by releasing her un-redacted military records.

“Is it that the Chief Justice doesn’t accept that the Court is losing credibility on a daily basis; that he thinks the Court doesn’t need that credibility in order to fulfill its intended role in our constitutional system; or that he doesn’t care?” Me on John Roberts as his Court turns 20 today:

The alleged shooter in Michigan. Weird that Vance and Patel haven’t tweeted out this info. 🤷🏽‍♂️👇🏽 www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

How does the protection racket work? They drive millions into poverty, sell guns to everyone, flood the airwaves with hatred, and then—when people snap and carry out shootings—they tell you your only hope is to entrust even more power to the ones profiting on this system. crimethinc.com/TheirGuns

Another day another white cis male shooter. All day right wing accounts were pre-emptively announcing it was an anti-Christian left wing extremist or a trans person and that the violence has to end. Well here he is wearing a 'make liberals cry again' Trump t-shirt

Oregon v Trump Complaint intro: "stated basis for federalizing members of Oregon’s National Guard is patently pretextual" "violates the Posse Comitatus Act" "violate[s] the Tenth Amendment’s guarantee that the police power ... resides with the states" www.justsecurity.org/wp-content/u...

By confusing friends and foes, strategy and personal chemistry, posturing and resolve, the American president has made everyone less safe (via Bloomberg Opinion)

The tariff story isn’t just soybeans. It’s also your grocery bill. Farmers get a bailout. Shoppers just get higher prices. Trade wars don't just create pain, they ensure the costs are born by those without political power.

"out of the three mass shootings today,"

The cognitive dissonance here is truly incredible.

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake.

Sen. Warnock called Georgia’s Medicaid work requirement program “the real waste, fraud, and abuse.” “This report shows that Pathways is incredibly effective at barring working people from health coverage and making corporate consultants richer.”

If you’re worried about losing your health care, apparently Trump has a message for you:

Justice Kavanaugh: “If the person is a U. S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter.”

The function of the American health care system is to make huge profits for the insurance and drug companies. Not acceptable. Our job is to fight for the U.S. to join the rest of the industrialized world and guarantee health care to all as a human right.

Trump seems determined to shock judges with the incompetency of his lawyers. www.cbsnews.com/news/judge-j...

FDA approved the abortion pill mifepristone 25 years ago. So why is RFK Jr. raising questions about it now? He's trying to roll back abortion access nationwide. I'll keep fighting against attempts to restrict access—because medication abortion is safe and effective. Period.

This was always the funniest conspiracy theory to me — that there are MRI machine-like devices that can cure all known illnesses in seconds, but the government has been hiding them — and Trump just posted an AI generated video of himself announcing they're real. We're cooked!

Andy McCarthy: "The indictment almost fails as an indictment in that it doesn't give you notice of what Comey has actually done. But factually there's nothing there. So this smacks of wanting to put Comey through the process, which is what lawfare is."

One of the constant strands in the history of the university, dating back to its medieval origins, is the attempt of authorities - especially religious authorities but not exclusively - to control what can and cannot be taught.
