Oz did say "it's not gonna touch the people who need these services." But ... maybe there are a lot of medical supply companies in FL because so many older people live there? And if there is massive fraud in FL, why isn't Ron DeSantis responsible for it? Because unlike Walz he's a *GOP* governor?

It will be tough for America’s global reputation to recover after this absolutely shameful vote.

oops. White nationalism is a helluva drug.

My former colleague, the clear-headed @mattklewis.bsky.social, calls the SAVE Act "the political equivalent of a shady insurance policy—the kind someone takes out the day before the house catches fire." The goal is "narrative control," not passage (which is unlikely). www.yahoo.com/news/article...

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes. $9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst". Renee Good and Alex Pretti were unavailable for comment….

Except, Kash did: - Use our $62M FBI jet to travel to Italy to drink & watch a hockey game. Just as tRump uses our ca$h to travel to Florida or his other golf courses every week. We also pay for Melania's regular travel away from him.

The party with all the Nazis in it is vey mad at Tom for pointing out that the Nazis keep saying and doing Nazi things

"You ask what they get out of this - they get votes...They think 'We're rich and powerful enough, none of this is going to touch us or our family.'" - @radiofreetom.bsky.social

Kristi Noem lied about an immigrant being a cannibal. Of course it was all made up nonsense. Normal people didn’t believe it, just like we didn’t believe Haitians were eating pets. This is part of dehumanization of immigrants playbook. Fear and hate is the point.

I was briefed Ukraine would crumble. Four years later, Russia has lost over a million men — and Ukraine still stands. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Remember a few days ago, when Trump announced he was deploying a hospital ship to Greenland? And he added a bunch of exclamation points? He isn’t actually deploying the ship. The larger arc: There’s no meaningful connection between what he says he’s going to do and what he actually does.

And STILL Ukraine stands. Bruised and battered but as yet UNDEFEATED! #slavaukraini www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

She’s right. It’s all hands on deck to preserve democracy. “And in the existential fight to save democracy, we need all the allies we can get.” A must-read @jilldlawrence.bsky.social

A tragic end to the party of Lincoln.

It’s not the party. It’s the plane. Taxpayer dollars aren’t backstage passes. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

"ICE agents are the equivalent of cartel hitmen" is a wild take, but Mike Lee is here for it.

Republican congressman on the Trump & Republican agenda👇🏽

Pretty amazing that comms person at FBI called my @ms.now colleague @kendilanian-nbc.bsky.social a liar and demand a correction only for Kash to post a photo from the locker room

The reason we're here is that tens of millions of people will punch a hole in a wall if they hear someone used food stamps to buy soda but they're fine if the right-wing podcaster turned fbi director uses his taxpayer funded private jet to go party whenever he feels like it bsky.app/profile/thed...

"As the journalists interacted with the migrants, uniformed police barged in and detained the lawyer and four journalists. Police confiscated their cameras, laptops and phones..." www.wsj.com/world/africa...

It’s just one humiliation after another for our country….

What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses? Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards My new column on the camps www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

ROGAN: “It’s overwhelming me. Too much fucking madness. We’re about to go to war with Iran. What are these files? How far does this go? What is happening?” Wait til joe rogan finds out he helped get Trump elected 🤷🏼

Uncle Jeffy Tiedrich says today in his newsletter: "Here’s one sure way you can tell you’re living in a shithole country: when the following two headlines appear one after another."

@eisendrath.net: "Roberts intervened to give Trump extra constitutional powers for nearly a year. Lower courts were...consistent and clear. Yet Roberts took up the case, then refused to stay the tariffs pending a decision that was never in doubt." edwineisendrath.substack.com/p/congratula...

😕

So the previous strikes didn’t “totally obliterate” their nuclear capability then? The same lies and propaganda over and over

The most disturbing part is knowing ICE left a little girl alone and didn’t care. Annabella was six years old when her dad was detained by ICE while he was picking up their food order. She stayed inside, waiting. He never returned to her that day. 1/2

@sykescharlie.bsky.social: "Is the worst past?" @michaelsteele.bsky.social: "No…The reason you need to disabuse yourself of that idea is what happened in the wake of the Supreme Court decision? He trashed the court…He then imposed by fiat a global tariff."

@sykescharlie.bsky.social: "The reality is that the worse things go for Donald Trump, the more dangerous he can be because there's nothing more dangerous than a cornered, orange, rabid ferret."

@michaelsteele.bsky.social: "Trump wants to stoke violence and he wants to use the levers of government to do it…If we don't feed the beast it starves. And that is what happened in Minnesota. We didn't feed the beast of violence with a violent response, and it starved.

Put this one in the lack of self-awareness hall of fame

Thank you to Greenland for providing emergency medical care to a US sailor on board the submarine, since we did not have adequate resources in the area to treat him. I’m sorry that our president felt the need to cover up our shortcomings with a deranged ghost hospital ship post.

'She has a message for other tourists considering a trip to America: “Don’t go – not with Trump in charge. It’s totally out of control over there. There’s no accountability. They don’t seem to need a reason for detaining you.”' #ICE www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

"The defendants pretended to represent their victims in sham court and other immigration proceedings, by impersonating immigration judges, lawyers and officials." DOJ says when one victim learned the law firm was fake, the group unleashed “threats of deportation and demands for additional payment”.

ICE just bought a massive warehouse in Social Circle, Georgia for $128.6 million. Call it what it is: an internment camp expansion happening in town across the country. 1/2

This one hits hard.

Here's the documentary that 1.1 million Hungarians have watched over the past week, documenting the damage that Viktor Orban's regime has done to health, education and public transportation in Hungary with English subtitles: youtu.be/9NQEcLIiOpM?...

Spectacular!!

A son of sharecroppers, a Freedom Rider, a moral force in Congress, John Lewis taught us that democracy is not a state, it is an act. When we see injustice, we do not look away. We get in good trouble. And we build bridges despite adversity. Happy Heavenly Birthday, Congressman.

By the time he’s done, I’ll bet that at least a quarter of the national debt will just be money he stole.

The extraordinary courage of people who are documenting ICE atrocities in places like Minneapolis, at great personal risk, are also achieving something else: They're changing the public's mind about immigration. We have a rare opportunity here. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2059...

Oh? people.com/jeffrey-epst...

😕

At the end of the day, when every dollar of the massive slush fund of taxpayer money Republicans appropriated to DHS in 2025 is audited, we will find it to be the largest govt fraud scandal in history. In addition to ICE reforms, it will more than justify this shutdown.
