Trump’s claim that he would “drain the swamp” is a cosmic joke. His administration is an ongoing shakedown of the American people.

#SNL Will Ferrell as Jeffrey Epstein in the cold open

There should be mandatory education in school discussing your legal rights and how to avoid being pressured by the police. The coercion and deceit used by a large number of law enforcement is disgusting

Hours after ICE arrested Israel Makoka and his younger brother, Max, as they boarded their school bus in Diamondhead, Mississippi, Israel found himself in a living-room sized cell with 25 men and a single exposed toilet. He slept on the floor that night, using his shoes for a pillow. Their story:

The Makoka brothers' host family, teachers, classmates and Mississippi Gulf Coast community rallied around them, signing a petition and writing members of Congress. That prompted Republican U.S. senators Cindy Hyde-Smith and Roger Wicker to step in and help secure their release on April 30.

This 7 year old girl just reminded the world of something important: You can stumble, crash, fall behind & still finish strong! The race isn’t over when you fall. It’s over when you stop getting back up! This little girl’s determination is the kind of inspiration we all need! #SheShed #GirlPower

Louisiana ACLU’s Nora Ahmed: “It’s even happening when people know they’re going to be released from detention, this pressure to tell people, ‘Hey, you should just self-deport and just sign this piece of paper.’ People are being coerced into those signatures in various ways.”

1. What was announced as an "arraignment only" by d’Iberville Municipal Judge Scott Lusk turned into much, much more when the proceeding shifted into a lengthy discussion about motions Petrini had previously filed with the court. @lizdye.bsky.social @joshuajfriedman.com

MARCO! - RUBIO! #SNL

[City Attorney] Abide isn't just billing taxpayers to defend the City's building enforcement. (He) is ordering the building enforcement.... then billing taxpayers to defend the enforcement he ordered... then controlling the appeals process for the enforcement he ordered and is being paid to defend.

1. I know you're all very busy @andrewtorrez.bsky.social and @lizdye.bsky.social but this is getting spicy down here.

Jarrod Fusco, an Air Force NCO, said he believed he and lawyer Yuri Petrini may be charged with cyberstalking associated to an online investigation. Petrini is in a lawsuit against the city of Biloxi, Mississippi, and both run a Facebook Group, Biloxi Politics Uncensored @andrewtorrez.bsky.social

@andrewtorrez.bsky.social @lizdye.bsky.social Is there any legal remedy to this??

As @andrewtorrez.bsky.social so eloquently stated in today's podcast, it truly is the "blursed of times"

SNL UK not afraid to go after the pressing issues, like the rusty relationship dynamics between Mario and Princess Peach. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Rfw...

I’m shocked, shocked, that Bari Weiss’ CBS would alter video to promote and protect Trump

Hey guys , I get to choose the thread color and meander pattern for this customer's quilt. They're giving it as a graduation present to someone. What would you recommend? @edsbs.bsky.social @celebrityhottub.bsky.social @hollyanderson.bsky.social @jasonkirk.fyi @surber.bsky.social

I'm not saying it was STAGED... YOU'RE saying it was staged! On the new Countdown podcast dropping at midnight: you have DOUBTS? Just because Trump has lied to you every day about every thing for a decade? Just because his people are filth? Shame, cynic! At midnight.

When you make ballrooms illegal only illegals will have ballrooms The only way to stop a bad man in a ballroom is a good man with a ballroom

@edsbs.bsky.social Outstanding!!!!

Things are terrible but at least we can laugh (until we cry) youtube.com/shorts/w8IwZ...

WTF? @lizdye.bsky.social @andrewtorrez.bsky.social

@lizdye.bsky.social @andrewtorrez.bsky.social The legal grey area of who is responsible is interesting. Telehealth ICU Sued for Death of Dental School Student - FindLaw share.google/CXqEacUHBtr3...

@nytimes.com Guess we were told about all this.

Checks out.

Hey #SNL here's your cold open for Saturday

A decent number of Evangelicals do not consider Catholics Christian, so it brings me so much delight that the Pope is schooling everyone about what a true Christian looks like.

The notion that we need to prosecute more teens in federal court to control crime shows that the speaker doesn’t understand federal court or crime or teens.

Only a handful of Mississippi counties currently have a full-time public defender’s office. In counties where boards of supervisors don’t establish a public defender office, the maximum amount an attorney can be paid for a single felony case is $3,000, plus expenses.

Will state continue funding pilot public defender program called ‘model for the nation’? In its first five months, Mississippi’s pilot program has represented 84 clients facing felony charges; 31 of the case arrests were resolved without a felony conviction.

@celebrityhottub.bsky.social I did not have Afroman pulling a First Amendment take on my bingo card Also, he's on video defending himself on court today. www.reddit.com/r/law/s/KPZc...

Afroman was not on my bingo card! @lizdye.bsky.social @andrewtorrez.bsky.social

Barla-fumble [BAR-luh-fum-bul] (n.) - A call for a time out while wrestling or playing. - The act or an instance of ‘crying uncle.’ Scottish Used in a sentence: “I knew he was new on the wrestling team, so I sure wasn’t expecting to have to cry ‘barla-fumble!’ in the middle of the match.”

Anyone who doesn't think for a minute that he will launch one. If Israel does is mistaken. Someone - ANYONE - needs to invoke the 25th amendment and get this guy out of office before it's too late

Sorcery!

Since its publication in 1973, The Camp of the Saints has consistently been interpreted by conservative figures as the blueprint for an ongoing or impending migratory disaster. And the Trump Administration is obsessed with it.

Two sides of Jack

Did you ever notice how Washington DC 'discovers' fraud every few years? The war on fraud is really a war on the poor.

Y'all I'm laughing so hard. Mississippi Sen. Daniel Sparks, R-Belmont, rose for an announcement on the Mississippi Senate floor and said, "I'd like to announce my disappointment." Lt. Gov. Delbert Hosemann replied, "It's shared by all." 👀

President Donald Trump’s suggestion for nationalizing elections is a “terrible idea,” Republican Mississippi Secretary of State Michael Watson said at a Stennis Institute Press Forum on Monday. “The Constitution is pretty clear on the delineation of the powers there," he said. buff.ly/K9GlFVs

Nick Fuentes says he’ll vote for Democrats in November: “The GOP must be purged and burned to the ground in 26.”
