One of Trump’s Day 1 executive orders was titled “Restoring Free Speech and Ending Federal Censorship.” Here is its Orwellian interpretation, per a sitting FCC commissioner:

Trump administration just lifted sanctions on several Russian banks close to Putin.

Today, a chamber that once filled me with wonderment made me feel disgust.

These numbers are staggering in their level of offensiveness.

Senator Alex Padilla was fulfilling his Congressional oversight duties when he was thrown to the ground and handcuffed. This is no isolated instance; this is a pattern of behavior by the Trump administration. There is simply no justification for this abuse of authority.

What’s next, brown shirts? What do Republican colleagues have to say? At long last, colleagues, have you no sense of decency?

AOC: When they say illegal vs legal immigration—they are trying to end legal status in the US making people undocumented and then they have the audacity to call them illegal when they were here documented.

“There’s no recording allowed out here.” I just grabbed this uncredited off Facebook. Does anyone know who recorded it? I want to make sure they get proper credit.

Tear gas can cause long-term health consequences by making people more susceptible to contracting respiratory illnesses, including COVID. The chemical agent can also hurt people inside their homes if it seeps into residential neighborhoods. What you need to know (published 2020):

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu announced Tuesday that she signed an executive order seeking greater transparency from federal immigration officials. She said the city will submit regular Freedom of Information Act requests to find out who ICE is detaining and on what grounds.

Is all lost? It might be, if we do not take action. I really need all of you to get out & protest. All of you! No couch sitting. These actions, if allowed will not be used only against brown people. They’re coming for their political enemies now too. That means you. #ResistanceUnited #ProudBlue

Ask yourself: Why would anyone who wasn’t an asset of the Russian government do this? Why would any decent human being do this?

If the Supreme Court ultimately agrees with what the gov't is arguing today, that the President has broad Article II powers that would permit it to deport people & there can be no judicial review, then literally no one is safe.

Shorn of the legalities, the Admin basic position is that we can do whatever we want if we say it's national security (and that includes Trump lies about same, which can't be questioned) and we don't have to tell court or anyone why. That's tyranny, plain and simple.

The Constitution and Declaration of Independence are becoming irrelevant, time to think about how to sell them! It could be the greatest auction in history! Selling TV rights to live auction coverage would yield billions, largest TV audience in history - especially with Trump as the auctioneer!

Has Trump agreed to sell it to France and use the funds to replace it with a golden statue of himself and then use the remaining funds (if any) to help reduce the national debt?

Why the crypto industry backed Trump: because the crypto oligarchs want billions of dollars from the US government @chrislhayes.bsky.social has the best explanation of this story I have seen youtu.be/qWANiC28M8o?...

A few more thoughts on Trump and the dollar. Probably this is sound and fury, signifying nothing except Trump's ignorance. But to the extent it matters, it's utterly counterproductive 1/
