This wouldn’t even be up for debate if people had voted for Hillary in 2016 & not let Trump appoint 3 Supreme Court justices.

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear. At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

If you’re not as mad about Signalgate as you were Hillary’s emails then you’re in a cult.

Current US Policy: If you’re suspected of trafficking a small amount of drugs with no evidence, we will murder you, but if you’re convicted of trafficking an enormous amount of drugs with copious evidence, we will pardon you. Because we are currently a very stupid country.

“The fact that a governmental body can redact more than 1,000 pages of documents that are directly related to a major business’s activities in Texas is certainly problematic,” an attorney specializing in public records said. With @kutnews.bsky.social @texastribune.org

Is Piggy referring to his attempted coup on January 6th?

BREAKING: At Pope Leo XIV’s urging, U.S. Catholic bishops just delivered the strongest rebuke of a sitting president in Church history — condemning Trump-Vance raids as “inhumane” and “dehumanizing” in a 216–5 vote.

Reminder: the alternative to Obamacare (Romneycare) is....Medicare for all. I would love to hear ONE Democrat say that! It's so simple!

I spy….a man with a functioning brain:

Former models for Donald Trump’s agency say they violated immigration rules and worked illegally.

Vought holds one of the most powerful jobs in D.C., and he’s used his position to wage a quiet war to change the shape of the entire U.S. government. Here's what you should know about Trump’s shadow president.

Three CFPB probes into companies backed by billionaire Marc Andreessen have been halted as bureau investigations have ground to a halt, including inquiries into the popular cash advance app EarnIn and Point Digital Finance, a provider of so-called alternative mortgages.

A data-sharing agreement that gives the Department of Homeland Security access to hundreds of millions of Americans’ Social Security data contains alarmingly few provisions to ensure accuracy, security or privacy, experts say. By @jenafifield.bsky.social

Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop. “If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???” Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is luxury, survive a month without it.

The people on the right getting mad at Tucker Carlson for hosting Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes on his podcast don’t seem to have gotten mad at all at Donald Trump for hosting Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes at his home for dinner. Funny that.

Obama: "The weird videos of a US president with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet & dumping poop on American citizens - that's not even worth booing about. Because all of that is a distraction from the fact that your situation, your life has not gotten better. They do it so you won't notice"

An EPA report found that the forever chemical PFNA interferes with human development and likely causes damage to the liver and male reproductive systems. The agency has sat on the report for months. “Scientifically, it was done,” said one scientist.

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear. At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

The way he rubs his inhumanity in Americans” face never ceases to stun me. He’s illegally refusing to pay food stamp benefits… …while he throws a ridiculously over the top Gatsby party for his right wing millionaire and corporate friends.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

BREAKING: A federal judge ruled that Trump-appointed, anti-voting U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli served unlawfully in the nation’s largest federal district — the third Trump-installed prosecutor found to have unlawfully held office in recent months.

Few patients appeal a health insurance denial, but a little-known process that requires insurers and plans to seek an independent opinion can force insurers to pay for what can be lifesaving treatment. Here’s what experts say you need to know. By @deldeib.bsky.social

The new AI-powered Wikipedia competitor falsely claims that pornography worsened the AIDS epidemic and that social media may be fueling a rise in transgender people.

NEW: California says it will send its own monitors to watch Trump’s DOJ “poll watchers.” State officials warn the federal stunt is part of a broader effort to intimidate voters and question legitimate elections.

“ALL TRADE NEGOTIATIONS WITH CANADA ARE HEREBY TERMINATED.” Donald Trump got mad at the TV...so now stuff costs more.

There it is. A pardon of one of the world‘s richest men. Changpeng Zhao has helped pump up Trump’s crypto biz. The big press conference about the NBA indictments was a smokescreen. Trump does not care about crime. So long as you’ve cut him in on the action. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Sen. Jeff Merkley has been speaking on the Senate floor since 6:20pm last night — protesting Trump and warning that "tyranny has arrived." "Trump is shredding our Constitution. Is it okay for masked federal agents to arrest people off the street because of their skin color … Not in a free America."

Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva has still not been sworn in four weeks after her win. Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes is suing House Speaker Mike Johnson, citing “taxation without representation.”

But we can't afford to continue ACA subsidies, or fund SNAP to feed hungry Americans. WTF

$40 billion to bailout Argentina $250 million for a White House ballroom Who knows how much wasted to deploy the National Guard where there’s no need But the Agriculture Department says there’s no money for SNAP-which feeds 42 million Americans The Trump administration doesn’t care if we all die

Today - Excavator begons tearing down East Wing of the White House to start Trump's ballroom addition. If there was ever a better picture to show the current state of the US presidency, I don’t know what it is. LITERALLY tearing down our heritage and history to put up some maralago type bullshit.

Russ Vought set out to ensure a second Trump term would not be hampered by checks and balances: “I don’t want President Trump having to lose a moment of time having fights in the Oval Office about whether something is legal or doable or moral.” By @andykroll.bsky.social, with @newyorker.com

"This is about a handful of the wealthiest people on Earth who, in their insatiable greed, have hijacked our economy and our political system." Bernie Sanders speaking at the No Kings rally in DC. Watch here.

⏰Hey Philly: The deadline to register to vote is 3 days away! Your vote is your vote in this upcoming election- especially in PA where three state Supreme Court justices are on the ballot.

State troopers in riot gear just plowed into the crowd, started arresting protesters and clergy.

To be unaware of one thing you don't wish to talk about is convenient. To be unaware of *everything* you don't wish to talk about is either lying or incompetence. Or both.

"Technologies purchased by ICE in recent weeks include spyware that can hack into smartphones remotely and cellphone location software that can enable the tracking of a phone’s movements without a court warrant..." www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring. Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond. Pay attention and act!

Russ Vought is a Nazi! www.democraticunderground.com/132158469

Welch: Mike Johnson-If he's a big Christian, he should be fighting for the marginalized, fighting for the poor. But instead he weaponizes his faith to lure voters in and then dicks him over every chance he gets.

This Is Fascism

“The problem with billionaires isn’t that they’re hoarding money that would otherwise pay for a Scandinavian social utopia. It’s that their money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.”

I think Trump would rather Congress never vote to reopen the government than let Adelrita Grijalva trigger the Epstein Files discharge. And I bet he doesn’t have a plan other than the Insurrection Act.

Did Trump write the infamous Epstein birthday letter? You decide.

"This is supposed to be an oversight hearing" -- Schiff helpfully ticks through all of the incriminating questions -- and there are many of them -- that Bondi refused to answer during today's hearing

This is Adelita Grijalva. She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files. She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

Heather Honey, a high-profile denier of Donald Trump’s loss in the 2020 election, was appointed to a senior DHS position in which she’ll help oversee election security. “DHS now appears poised to become a primary amplifier of false election conspiracies pushed by our enemies,” one expert said.

A federal judge ruled that senior DOJ officials' comments created a "realistic likelihood" of vindictiveness in its criminal case against Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Abregio Garcia is now entitled to a hearing to argue for tossing his case on these grounds. https://bit.ly/48jnA4D
