The contractors and companies helping build Alligator Alcatraz have tried to keep their involvement a secret. I refuse to let that happen. So here is Part 1 of my new series: Exposing the Assholes Who Helped Build Alligator Alcatraz

The assassin’s wife and several other relatives were arrested 125 miles away from home with a weapons cache and passports in the car. Sounds a bit like a domestic terrorism cell making a getaway to me. www.twincities.com/2025/06/15/v...

2/ For the last five years, MAGA has been bathed in political violence. Most importantly, MAGA's celebration of January 6th and Trump's decision to pardon ALL the Jan 6 rioters - including the most violent - became a clear endorsement of violence committed in his name.

While the No Kings Protests around the country hit record numbers!

Schoolyard bully steals everyone’s lunch money to throw himself the Fyre Festival of birthday parties attended only by sycophants & suckers, while the rest of the school attends a series of joyful bashes across the district to celebrate how much they fucking hate him. And I think that’s beautiful.

ICE was "responding" to the chaos ICE itself created. It was not responding to the way LA is without intentional provocation from ICE. And now the National Guard is "responding" to the chaos ICE created. It is not responding to the way LA is without intentional provocation from ICE.

In the past 18 hours, Acyn with Meidas was up all night. He posted 32 clips of Democrats opposing the budget on the floor, 24 clips of Dems in the Rules Committee, and 18 clips of interviews we did of Dems off the floor. We also spotlighted many Dems who never get media airtime.

Boyle: We just verified with the congressional budget office and of 13.7 million Americans who will lose their health care because of their bill, exactly zero are undocumented immigrants

AOC: When you wake up in the morning, you will realize that you voted to defund planned parenthood and take away health care from 13.7 million Americans and when this country wakes up there will be consequences to pay for this

Foxx: We’re interested in delivering… fiscal certainty for our future. McGovern: You know what gives people fiscal certainty? Food in their refrigerators

Hayes: Every provision in this program is cruel and they know it. That's why none of them spoke on it in committee. That's why they have no response. That's why they don't hold town halls. That's why they don't answer questions. All they do is tweet, repeat, and hide in the back until they vote yes

Frost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but the United States congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never forget this.

If you want to MAGA, when was America "great" to you? 20s- Crime skyrockets under prohibition 30s- Great Depression 40s, 50s, 60s-Blacks drafted to war w/o full voting rights 70s- Overthrowing democratically elected govt's 80s- crack & AIDS rip cities in half 90s- Huge economic growth from Clinton

Here's the President of South Africa having to sit through a fusillade of lies about an alleged "white farmer genocide" in his country that exists only in Trump's addled brain. Donald is so fucking stupid, so gullible, & this is achingly, cringingly embarrassing. What a sad joke the USA has become.

The U.S. Supreme Court will release decisions at 10 am ET. We’re watching for a ruling over Louisiana’s congressional map that could weaken the Voting Rights Act’s ability to guard against racial discrimination in redistricting. Read more. ⤵️ www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Pete Buttigieg, like Jasmine Crockett, is a National Treasure. Look after them. Love from 🇬🇧

Now is a great time to reach out to your member of Congress who promised not to cut Medicaid. Or to your conservative friends who don't think we should be exploding the debt. Because today, Donald Trump met with Republicans on Capitol Hill, trying to pass a bill that would do both.

Trump backs Putin’s proposal for Ukraine talks, undermining America’s allies Trump’s endorsement came the day after he backed European leaders’ demand for a ceasefire first.

KILMEADE: Do you worry that if they Qataris give us something like this that they'll want something in return? LEAVITT: Absolutely not, because they know President Trump and they know he only works with the interests of the American public in mind

When I finished my clerkship, I handmade a frame for my judge with a photo of our chambers because the small gift I’d hoped to give him relevant to a mutual extracurricular interest would have violated the canons of judicial ethics, but a foreign power can give the President a plane?

"We now have a federal government that will threaten or arrest an elected official, or even everyday American citizens who have broken no laws, committed no crimes and done nothing wrong." - Wisconsin governor Tony Evers

Trump's admissions wreck his own arguments for refusing to bring Abrego Garcia back. Trump has now conceded that he can direct Bukele to release him, and that he always has the option of retrying him for deportation lawfully. So why not do it then? newrepublic.com/article/1948...

Another attorney for the Abrego Garcia family says Trump's lawyers "appear to be obeying Stephen Miller and not the Supreme Court. Miller himself should be deposed under oath in federal court to determine his role in this ongoing affront to due process.” newrepublic.com/article/1948...

Now Trump is telling Republicans in Congress to expel anyone who tries to impeach him. Yet Democratic leaders still sit back, waiting for the juuuust the right moment.

BUFFALO, NY: We are mobilizing to protest the arrest and detention of a group of UFW farm worker leaders we believe are being held at the Batavia ICE detention center. We believe targeting known union supporters in the name of immigration “enforcement” is an outrage. These workers must be released.

Five former National Weather Service directors have taken the unusual step of signing onto an open letter warning that cuts to the organization by the Trump administration may soon endanger lives.

O Canada! Your neighbors to the South are extending support on your elections tomorrow. Please make the right choice -- Pierre Poilievre has shown that he is a Trump shill. You have seen what's happened here and we want better for you. The world needs our Canadian health partners strong and free!

Trump: *Attacks the independence of the press more intensely than any other president in history, calls for the imprisonment of disfavored journalists, and bars the AP from the press pool for not being sycophants* Journalists: "Man, that Biden guy. Sure glad we got rid of him, what a chump!"

Trump says that any American who shows “dissension” against MAGA should be “immediately ejected” from their member of Congress’ town halls. This is fascism.

BeaUtiful!🔥🔥🔥

This is the kind of powerful, public, moral leadership which the press—and all of us—need to be showing right now.

Macron shook one hand.

NEWS: Donald Trump is going to likely lower China tariffs, RFK Jr. is collecting your private data, Elon Musk is stepping back DOGE, and the court moves closer to holding the Administration in contempt. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

“When wealth is passed off as merit, bad luck is seen as bad character. This is how ideologues justify punishing the sick and the poor. But poverty is neither a crime nor a character flaw. Stigmatize those who let people die, not those who struggle to live.” Poverty is not a character flaw!

JD Vance is the angel of death

When governments decide what we can and cannot read, they are not protecting children, they are weaponizing censorship to suppress ideas and control narratives!

This is straight authoritarianism!

It is wild looking back at these 2016 articles and seeing watered-down versions of them now written by rich people who denigrated or even threatened me at the time. I spilled my blood and they peddle it as sangria.

there were a lot of good ways to start my day but seeing a guy who looks like fruit leather and sounds like pennies in a garbage disposal talking about “fertility” was not one of them

I know it all costs money, but put a CTA at the bottom of each email and call it a day! The 😡 I feel every time I open an email from the DNC saying, “ We hate to ask, but we are up against a very important fundraising deadline, and $49 from you will make all the difference.” Fuck off and FIGHT!

Reading between the lines a bit, but I interpret this decision as treating other courts, especially the Supreme Court, as the target audience, rather than the executive branch. The Reaganites on the Fourth Circuit are begging conservatives like Roberts to do their constitutional duty.
