New details here on how DHS gave two men who had spent years attending, livestreaming, and praising the Proud Boys exclusive access to ridealongs with ICE talkingpointsmemo.com/news/inside-...

Carnations and Ivy, pastel. I don't know if I've posted this already: I try not to repeat if I can help it.

The brave men and women who serve our nation deserve to be led by people who know what they are doing.

Today's GOP

Here the thing our party doesn’t seem to want to appreciate: We will ONLY be beneficiaries of anti-war and opposition sentiment, if we are the anti-war and opposition CANDIDATES! The footsies that Dem leadership is playing, trying to attack the war but keep funding Israel is UNTENABLE!

The mask is completely off. You can’t meet these people in the middle. We’re not working toward the same goals. They hate America. They hate democracy. They hate freedom. And they hate you.

100 thousand times this‼️

My ears would be bleeding…

1/2 So, John Thune proposed to the current occupant of the White House funding TSA, Coast Guard, etc. They would add additional funding for ICE/CBP at a later date. White House insists it all needs funded now, along with passage of the SAVE Act.

“GOD IS A COMEDIAN… This is a clusterfuck of historic proportions and everyone who's ever held a rank knows it.” Do yourself a favor and read this piece on the absurdity that is Trump’s Iran War and the ever-shifting justifications. open.substack.com/pub/no01/p/m... A taste:

All of us screaming that Trump was dismantling our democratic Republic were correct. And now we have objective evidence in a new report to back that up. But thankfully the report also tells us point blank how we can save our democracy. My article: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/new-report...

I know this has circulated with alacrity recently, so you may have already seen it, but if you haven't... WOW BOY HOWDY it's the most useful thing. Thank you cardcatalogforlife.substack.com -- this is a very very very helpful public service: cardcatalogforlife.substack.com/p/google-has...

This is a Project I can get behind! LFG! #SheShed

RIP, Robert Mueller. Bill Kristol quoted from this Yeats poem this afternoon (www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-cele...).

Make it happen!

You could say that Rock n Roll was born 111 years ago today in Arkansas, but probably not where you'd think. Before there was a Chuck Berry or Little Richard, there was those who wanted to be like her. Rosetta Nubin better known as Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the godmother of Rock was born on this day

Bravo, Dems, for jumping on this one! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Consumers, I.e. the American people, are “really the last of our concerns right now.”

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

This amazing scientific advance may one day lead to either more effective treatments or dare I say perhaps a cure. This is why it is vitally important to fund basic scientific research. Scientists Discover Way To Reverse Chemical Process Linked With Alzheimer’s Disease share.google/Vm0hfSMfkGIc...

@jenpsaki.bsky.social Please report and amplify this when reporting that the current occupant of the WH threatens to refuse to sign legislation unless the SAVE Act is passed

At this point my biggest concern is a remark the Convicted Felon made a few years ago and I’m paraphrasing here: “What’s the point of having nuclear weapons if you’re not going to use them?” 😱

What I’ve been trying to figure out, exactly what is the monetary benefit to the Convicted Felon and his offspring in all this? He doesn’t do anything unless there is a financial benefit to him. To which bank account(s) are the profits from this going to be deposited?

1/2 I’ve noticed regarding language being used by the current administration, specifically describing members of our armed forces as “war fighters.” Not service members; not soldiers; not sailors; not Marines; not airmen…by “war fighters.”

This needed to happen months ago

1/2 After last night, when the Convicted Felon (aka, the Pedofuhrer) referred to the elected Democratic officials in the chamber as “crazy,” and all the elected GOP members (along with Vance & Johnson) jumped up out of their seats and applauded it,

Great job, guys…disrespecting your fellow gold-medal winning Olympians www.reddit.com/r/PWHL/s/Dpe...

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide. This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

Donald Trump calls Democrats "corrupt and deranged." He calls Democrats "demented and evil." A master of projection, Trump has defined himself again.

The largest release yet of the Epstein files shows he was Leon Black’s stealthy do-it-all fixer. Beyond mere estate planning, the convicted sex offender arranged family portraits, leveraged up a vast art collection, handled investments and obscured sensitive secrets www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

This is wildly appropriate ☠️

The administration has provided no accounting for the arrests in Minnesota. Tom Homan claims 4000 but the real question is how many among them are the murderers & pet eaters that Trump touts the whole mission was about. I’m betting not very many but it’s important to know to post-mortem the debacle

1000x this!

OSU appears to have been a major conduit for Epstein activities, especially those linked o Les Wexner.

This is cool

Best bet is to presume anyone calling for us to just move on from the Epstein files absolutely knows why they are important and they want that truth suppressed.

🤗

The Convicted Felon was sued by the federal government in 1973 for refusing to rent housing to people of color. In 1989, he called for the execution of the Central Park 5 and subsequently refused to apologize even after the 5 men were exonerated & their convictions vacated. He’s ALWAYS been a racist

Bad idea. ICE is pre-funded by the BBB. Also, CBP is just as bad if not worse and also pre-funded by the BBB. Severing ICE gives away any leverage we have to shut down the rest of DHS. We should be demanding to defund ICE/CBP of its BBB money and shut down ALL of DHS if they don’t agree.

🤔

Powerful…

I wonder who told the Convicted Felon that states are merely the “agents” of the federal government?

I don't often wear political t-shirts, but I'm proudly sporting this one today. I'm an immigrant. I teach American (and international!) college students, research the U.S. economy, consult with policymakers, write books, raise my kids, pay taxes, and try to make this a better place.

🤔

This administration has declared war on the United States of America…its people and its Constitution. The Convicted Felon needs to be impeached & found guilty of treason, along with Vance & all who’ve supported & enabled this treason. Elected GOP officials aren’t cowards. They’re in agreement
