Sen. Murphy on DHS: "This agency is spending money like stone-drunk sailors…We swear an oath when we arrive here to ensure that…money is not used to fund unconstitutional or illegal behavior. Every single day this agency is violating the Constitution and the law."

With each passing day, I'm liking Jon Ossoff more and more. I think he may be the real deal.

Xanax vs opiates. What’s easier to let go off?

@deadlinewh.bsky.social Nicole and John picking up where you left off! Great way to start the week. This should happen every Monday and friday

mamdani you have to stop. you smoke too tough. your swag too different. your polices too bad. you’re gonna make me a knicks fan

The weight of the corruption #EpsteinFiles

Let’s be clear about Delaney Hall. A private, for-profit detention center run by GEO Group. Their business model is making money off human beings. Their incentive isn’t dignity. It isn’t fairness. It isn’t even deportation. Their incentive is keeping beds full and keeping the money flowing.

Privatizing prisons and detention facilities is one of the worst public policy decisions this country has ever made. bsky.app/profile/atru...

If you’d told me on January 7th 2021 that everyone in this picture would be pardoned and be paid $1 million each for reparations, I’d have said you were insane. It turns out that it’s American voters that are insane.

I want a president who investigates people who sexually assaulted women in the Epstein files, not a president who investigates a woman he sexually assaulted.

We call ourselves "intelligent," yet the humblest fungus can decompose waste and build soil, a tree can harness solar energy, and a wetland can purify water—all without toxic byproducts. True intelligence is learning from these systems, not bulldozing them.

“I promise you Jeff you’re dead wrong!” @sanders.senate.gov slams Jeff Bezos on the first episode of our new show On Sunday with @jackcocchiarella.bsky.social premiering tomorrow 12pm EST!

Next week Senate Republicans are poised to give ICE and CBP tens of billions of dollars to funnel right to private, well-connected companies like GEO Group. What’s are they offering to help you? Nothing. For them, Delaney Hall is just the start. Their corrupt & cruel agenda will be up for a vote.

On this day May 30, 2024 Donald John Trump was found guilty by a jury of his peers of 34 Felonies. At that point, he should have been ineligible to hold any political position in the entire country. And yet….here we are!

Where the hell is my congressman, Tom Kean Jr?

Mika Brzezinski broke down on air, describing immigrants following legal processes only to be arrested and sent to what she called concentration camps. Sen. Cory Booker, who gained access to Delaney Hall, stepped in and called the cruelty "unacceptable to all Americans."

In her interview today about the Epstein Files, Pam Bondi refused to answer questions about Donald Trump and DOJ officials stopped answers mid-interview. If Pam Bondi has nothing to hide, why won’t she answer simple questions?

@deadlinewh.bsky.social You are a national treasure Nicole! Love the discussion with @jheil.bsky.social What I would like to see in the cage for his bday party would be mullin and kesbreath

Well, it’s not AI, it’s real and very embarrassing…..

I like this image for the accuracy of its message. Don't pretend it's anything else.

Secretary Mullin said I shouldn't have been at Delaney Hall, but I disagree.   This isn't about me. This is about the detainees and their families, the lawlessness we're seeing from ICE.   I was willing to take a risk and I'd do it all over again to keep people safe.

Trump threatened to “blow up” one of our staunchest allies in the Middle East today and I couldn’t find it about it on the homepage of the Times, Journal, or Post

Big Oil has raked in over $23B in windfall profits by jacking up gas prices during Trump's Iran War. Now ExxonMobil, Shell, and Chevron are doubling down on spending billions on stock buybacks — while you pay the price at the pump. Call it what it is: corporate greed.

This is the most recent letter from hunger/labor striking prisoners at Delaney Hall ICE facility in Newark, NJ. "We appreciate the support of everyone who is protesting outside the facility. We want you to know that you give us the strength and determination to keep going. Please, DON’T GIVE UP!"

Donald Trump: "The Secretary of War Pete Hegseth…He loves war." American troops and their families deserve a Defense Secretary that works to prevent war, not one who relishes in it.

What I saw at Delaney Hall reinforced what we already know: we can't continue to write a blank check to ICE while their violence and lawlessness continue.

“I did that!”

Can’t believe that Andy Kim is in two of the most haunting pictures of the last few years.

ICE pepper spraying @kim.senate.gov is not ok! Shut down Delaney!

How the International Center of Culture and Arts in Kyiv looks after russia's latest attack. russia continues to methodically attack Ukrainian cities, bringing destruction to places that were once filled with life. Help protect the sky: u24.gov.ua/sky-defense?...

Over 50 years later, this anti-Vietnam War PSA still rings true.

This week marks the 2-year anniversary of the incredible UNITED24 ambassador: Hollywood star Hilary Swank! For 2 years, Hilary has supported 🇺🇦 via UNITED24, using her voice and platform to draw attention to russia’s ongoing war. Thank you both, for everything you have done and continue to do!

We still remember the London Blitz, which lasted eight months. Ukraine has been under attack for fifty-one months. You can help defend Ukrainians from missiles and drones. u24.gov.ua/news/timothy...

It's the anniversary of the meeting of Constitutional Convention:

You wanna build a data center? Fine Power it with your own solar/wind Cool it with seawater filtered through your own desalination plant You will be required to fund and build the complete infrastructure needed for the product that makes you billions of dollars and fucks the surrounding communities🖕

Why this GOP Congress sucks...

Incredible performance by David Byrne on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert! Dance, Stephen, Dance!

NEW: The judge has weighed in on the $1.7 slush fund. I promised an update when she did. Please share widely.

WATCH — @anneapplebaum.bsky.social : “Trump entered office worth $2.3 billion and is now worth $6.5 billion… Decisions are made based on what's good for the president's own companies, not Americans… for example — why did the Saudis invest $2 BILLION in Kushner’s companies?”

Missing the days when Kelleyanne Conway plugged ivanka’s cloths on the wh lawn

“Lobbyists will tell you it’s not that bad, urban legend… That absolutely rises to the level a national congressional investigation.” @aoc.bsky.social went with @moreperfectunion.bsky.social to a Red county where a META data center is hurting the water— as xAI impacts Memphis etc

I miss having a President of the United States.

He’s literally doing this today with his and Trump’s taxpayer-paid slush fund for January 6th insurrectionists.

Children: undefeated at simple honesty.

Buttercups at dawn. Taken this morning in Glastonbury.
