DHS arrested a protester for peacefully exercising their First Amendment rights outside the MDC. This is a blatant assault on our constitutional freedoms. Peaceful assembly is a fundamental right, not a crime, and it must be protected, not silenced by state power.

LAURA INGRAM SAYS THE PATRIOT FRONT MARCH IN DC WAS ANTIFA IN DISGUISE

Donald Trump's Hollywood Star!

Hope they learned something while there, doubt it though...

Heading to a Mexico vs. England watch party tonight! If you’ve never experienced the electric, controlled chaos of a Mexican World Cup party, add it to your bucket list immediately; it’s an absolute blast. ¡Vamos México!

Demonstrators in Turkey hung a banner from a bridge reading "Hide Your Children, Trump Is Coming" ahead of the president's visit to Turkey for the NATO summit. Mercado Media

There has never been a Christian nation, and never will be. You don't live in one now. 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Had an eagle fly into our marsh in Maine this morning. Apropos. #birding #birdphotography

These all sound like excellent ideas.

There's also some great style in old photos of Mexican laborers, but some of the attire may not be well-suited to humid climates. Lots of workwear: denim trucker jackets, Western shirts, wide brimmed hats, etc. Pick and choose what works for you.

Hard to dress well in the summer, but I like how men dressed in Greece, Vietnam, and Cuba during the 1950s/ 60s. Many had camp collar shirts with two pockets. When a shirt is made from a thin, sheer fabric, having two chest pockets serves two purposes: carry things and prevent you from feeling nude.

He stood by his oath, despite the consequences! A true patriot!

A person could now be released while gravely ill because of mistreatment, neglect, or inadequate medical care while in the facility and die shortly afterward. That death even though it was caused by ICE would no longer appear in ICE’s public post-release reporting.

If someone became critically ill while in detention and died shortly after being released, the death would still be publicly documented. Removing those reports reduces transparency and makes it harder to determine whether conditions or medical care in detention contributed to a person’s death.

The administration has ended the requirement to publicly report those post-release deaths. That reporting existed for a reason.

The Trump administration has found a new way to reduce the number of deaths ICE publicly reports change what gets counted. Under the previous policy, ICE reported deaths that occurred both in custody and shortly after a detainee was released.

Wouldn't it just be easier and more dignified not to repeat Donald Trump's preposterous, delusional lies?

He talks like him now. "beautiful beautiful reflecting pool" Just so ... weird.

Burgum tried to present himself as a rational and sober alternative to Trump during the 2024 GOP primary. This is what he's reduced himself to in order to maintain a proximity to power.

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum just defended the white nationalist march in D.C. "There are plenty of things that I see that I might personally find offensive, reprehensible. But in America, free speech is allowed," he said, before comparing a public display of racial supremacy to communism.

NYT confirms: Trump personally asked FIFA to review a U.S. player's suspension. Now he's eligible to play. The reversal of Folarin Balogun's World Cup suspension is highly unusual. It was the first time since 1962 that FIFA has nullified a suspension for a red card received during the World Cup.

A federal appeals court has temporarily sided with the Trump administration in a dispute over historical displays at National Park Service sites. The court blocked a lower court order that would have required the NPS to restore signs, exhibits, and other interpretive materials that had been removed.

A federal judge has rejected Trump's request for more time to respond to E. Jean Carroll's demand for the $5.8 million she won in the civil lawsuit against him. Trump must now reply by July 7.

No, Laura. It’s not “Antifa.” It was Patriot Front, a white nationalist organization. They covered their faces because they’re cowards who don’t want to be identified. We’ve been saying for over a year that ICE officers shouldn’t be allowed to wear masks either. They are cowards also.

After the election. Its coming tho🤷‍♀️

Eleven years ago today 🌿 Rocky Mountain Blue Columbine on the Arapaho Pass Trail #nativeplants

We aren’t as stupid as you Burgum

A would-be emperor past his sell-by date.

What is it going to take⁉️ #Pinks ⚖️

youtu.be/dJ9LeL_Y9Hk?si As trump continued his hate and divisiveness fifty years ago another Republican spoke. Compare President Fords to trump it is revealing how low maga took us.

NO 👇 LIES DETECTED

Gov. Beshear should demand proof of life. If his state has lost a senator, its people deserve to know and deserve a replacement. The seat doesn‘t belong to the Republican Party.

Burgum: "The algae is all gone. That was a momentary thing. As it was being filled, there was algae in the pipes." (So much for Trump's talking point that vandals put algae in the reflecting pool!)

BASH: Do you condemn the Patriot Front? BURGUM: Certainly, what they stand for is nothing I could possibly agree with, but one of the foundational principles of the US which makes democracy messy is free speech (Not exactly a yes!)

BASH: But it peeled off. Why did that happen? BURGUM: It didn't peel off. There was vandalism. There was box cutters. There have been 7 arrests. BASH: There are photographs of people cutting a 350 foot gash in the reflecting pool? BURGUM: Dana, I'm not sure why you keep questioning it

BASH: The president's armored motorcade of SUVs, which can weigh up to 20,000 pounds, drove across that new coating of the reflecting pool. Could that have damaged it? BURGUM: No. There was no damage that night whatsoever.

BASH: How much is it gonna cost to fix? And are you gonna use the same company you did in the no bid contract, or will you open it up to new bids? BURGUM: We'll use the same company, because they did a fantastic job

BASH: There's an olympian - David Hearn - who was indicted. He faces 10 years in prison. He says he didn't do anything other than reach into the reflecting pool. Do you really think he should face a 10 year sentence? BURGUM: Just bc you were a former something doesn't exclude you from the law

BURGUM: I would love to come on sometime and talk about the great things going on as opposed to this myopic focus on the beautiful, beautiful reflecting pool B: The president talks about it nonstop which is why we're following up BURGUM: Nobody has fixed up our capital more than President Trump

Because you’re lying

Good to know!

BURGUM: The reflecting pool has been a big success STEPHANOPOULOS: You say it's been a success, but the pool is gonna be drained this week, isn't it? BURGUM: Even though there was damage done by vandals, 99.99% of the pool bottom is perfect

STEPHANOPOULOS: He promised it would be fixed for under $2m. It's already cost more than $15m. The pool is going to be drained & you're putting out solicitations for new bids. So the pool is not fixed right now, is it? BURGUM: It's fixed in the sense that it's no longer leaking 45k gallons a day

STEPHANOPOULOS: Trump has repeatedly claimed vandals cut a 350 foot gash. That claim is echoed in a legal filing by your department. What evidence do you have? BURGUM: Ah, well we have the actual cuts that were made S: There's a 350 foot gash? B: Well it's multiple gashes that add up to 350 feet

Happy Independence Day, America. 🇺🇸 Here’s to 250 years of liberty, democracy, the Constitution, and the rule of law—and to many more years ahead,together. May God bless the United States and protect it from anyone—regardless of party or ideology—who would do it harm. Happy Fourth of July! 🇺🇸 #USA
