An angle on this I'd like to see more prominently covered is that this bill would pass easily if it was just put to the floor -- all Dems and plenty of Rs would support. Johnson is doing this exclusively to protect his own job because a small portion of Rs could remove him from the Speakership.

So are the headlines saying the Democrats won this round, or nah? Cause they did. Funding for TSA, FEMA, Coast Guard, no funding for ICE. That’s the deal Dems have been offering over & over. Republicans caved.

"As a woman, to speak first, or even early, in the effort to push against injustice or to expose an ugly truth, is to risk scorn and, almost certainly, to undergo scathing attacks."

The next president will have to establish a cabinet position of Secretary of Eradicating That Asshole's Name and Every Trace of His Existence.

Oudone Lothirath missed four out of five chemotherapy appointments while in ICE detention and received no medical care there. Now he will likely die in a matter of days. www.startribune.com/how-ice-deta...

Pilot on my flight: “Air travel is not fun right now. Please be nice to each other. I don’t want to be on CNN. Let’s just go home.”

oh my fucking GOD save us from his insane compulsion to put his fucking name on everything

Out here in Portland, our cherry blossoms peaked last week. As early as I've ever seen it. And my mason bees popped two weeks ago.

Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

According to the Cato Institute, The Trump administration is reportedly receiving millions of immigration applications, pocketing the hefty fees, and never processing the applications. It’s collected over $1 billion in fees so far. Where is the outcry over this fraud and abuse?

This is the first report I've received of ICE agents performing actual TSA duties. Not good.

Just to be very clear: The Trump DOJ is stealing $1.2 million of your money to gift one of Trump’s cronies, who pled guilty to the crimes he was charged with, and whose suit against the government had already been tossed by a judge.

Pete Hegseth called them “narco terrorists” and the official statement from the Trump administration called it a training camp for drug traffickers. It was a dairy farm. They murdered Ecuadorian farmers. With our money. The War on Drugs has always been a fascist plot to kill Black and Brown people

because he’s in negotiations with his bones

it didn't go as far as we needed it to. the gop has been trying to overturn/kneecap it since it was signed into law. but watching this brought tears to my eyes because it shows a functioning government. we're so, so far away from that now.

A new example of the right-wing-media-to-Trump pipeline? "Linda from Arizona" might deserve the credit or blame for ICE agents deploying to airports today. Within 24 hours of Linda proposing it to Clay Travis on the radio, Trump announced it was happening. My CNN story about it:

Former CIA Director John Brennan comes pretty close to saying that Russian interference was decisive in 2016 From this newly-posted Miller Center interview... d1b57bn6yaf7zy.cloudfront.net/BHO-Brennan2...

Exactly. When you see ICE at the airport it’s designed as an implicit threat to minorities. It says ‘this is a place you shouldn’t be, so be prepared to risk arrest/deportation.’ That’s how they want everyone who isn’t white to feel going to the polls.

There’s comfort in knowing no one in my pool picked this nonsense.

Iowa and St. John’s taking that 90s meme literally

Please think for like 2 seconds abt how ICE has actually been used to target groups identified by the regime as racially & ideologically suspect & ponder what possible role they will serve as faux TSA agents in airports.

oh my I thought that was in

Nothing screams “we’re just winging it” like having to buy oil from Iran while in the middle of a war with Iran.

The richest Americans saw their net worth soar 120% from 2017 to 2025. The top 1% now control $55.8 trillion in assets — more than the G.D.P. of the United States and China combined. Meanwhile, millions of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

🚨🚨🚨 They are a lot of things. Subtle is not one of them.

There are people who will lose their jobs when they say this about Trump when he dies

Can’t wait for the inevitable truth social screed 😑

Soon CBS, CNN, & TikTok will all be owned by Trump-megadonor Larry Ellison.   Trump's billionaire buddies are buying up more of our media & jeopardizing our independent press.   State Attorneys General have the power to stop this merger, they must act. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Waste fraud and abuse with a heaping side of corruption

The Covid-19 pandemic’s early death toll was much higher than the official US count, according to a new study that spotlights dramatic disparities in the uncounted deaths. https://cnn.it/3NtbZYM

This horrific story gets worse when you find out how this young woman originally came to the US: as a 17-year-old on Jeffrey Epstein’s plane

Blessed March

Wow I wonder why people don’t want to come to the US????

So corrupt. www.nbcnews.com/business/med...

MOSQUITOES IN MARCH is not why I live in the PNW.

Oh my god High Point is gonna do it

The Trump administration used a 5-year-old Liam Ramos as bait. Then they detained him and his father at a for-profit detention center in Texas. Now, a judge is denying the family’s asylum case. This repeated traumatization is utterly cruel. I hope this decision is overturned.

Never forget who Trump governs for.

The NBC News story about Corey Lewandowski is very important. The GEO Group-related claims are astounding, and later reporting in the story suggests that those allegations were not some one-time thing. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

“This constant lying is not aimed at making the people believe a lie, but at ensuring that no one believes anything anymore. A people that can no longer distinguish between truth and lies cannot distinguish between right and wrong… With such a people, you can do whatever you want.” Hannah Arendt

Blame the speedos

Dolores Huerta's statement on Cesar Chavez: “I am nearly 96 years old, and for the last 60 years have kept a secret because I believed that exposing the truth would hurt the farmworker movement I have spent my entire life fighting for... I can no longer stay silent and must share my own experiences"

tbh the SAVE Act makes my blood run cold

I know I'm a broken record but you *cannot* understand the MAGA rift over Iran war (and other stuff) without understanding that the antisemitic MAGA-ites are going after Christian Zionists (see: Owens' reference to "Bibi's red heifer war") *with antisemitism,* not just opposition to Israel policy.

And since “you do not and should not ever hand it to fascists” seems to blow some people’s minds, here is @jeffsharlet.bsky.social explaining in detail why (yet again).

and we all know what “two weeks” means in trumpworld.

Joe Kent is a right-wing lunatic with a “PANZER” tattoo (yes, in the original German), has close ties to White Nationalists and extremist paramilitary groups, he has consulted with Fuentes about social media strategy, employed a Proud Boy on his campaign - and that’s just off the top off my head.

This is another case of maga eating their own. Joe Kent is a homegrown white Christian Nationalist, anti-Semitic nazi dirtbag.
