Private prison company GEO Group, which runs Delaney Hall, gave $1M+ to Trump's Super PAC in 2024 and his inauguration in 2025. Not only has Trump since rewarded GEO with billions in ICE contracts, but a top former GEO executive has now been named acting ICE director. Cashing in on cruelty.

Police pushed out a couple of the attendees at a diabetes scientific meeting. The crime: Passing out printouts of a recent publication calling out the administration for destroying our research infrastructure. The right to free speech was infringed upon. Censorship is real. We have to stand up.

I bet if you laid out all the protesters end-to-end they'd be taller than the Reflecting Pool!

The old joke was that Canada wasn't a country so much as three corporations in a trenchcoat (Irving, Weston and Rogers). Carney's great innovation is...tailoring a larger trenchcoat.

did Trump forget to lie about opening the Strait of Hormuz today?

Cash was a sinner but in these ways he was not a hypocrite - he’s been gone so long it’s clear he really wasn’t joking, which is a hell of a thing

If you really look at what he did, Cash is a dangerous man like the other guy with his initials

i know no one cares, nothing matters, it’s all blasé to the median voter and pundit, but a sitting AG (even just acting) making these kinds of boldly partisan remarks would have been seen, in the past, as grounds for removal on a bipartisan basis
