I had to double check that this was real and yep there's the president sharing a post claiming his predecessor was executed in 2020 and replaced with a robot or a clone I mean CHRIST can the legacy media please normalize calling him unhinged, at the very least

NEW: The National Sheriffs’ Association(!) puts out a statement saying the Trump admin’s publication, with no feedback first, of a list of Sheriff departments alleged to be sanctuary jurisdictions “violated the core principles of trust, cooperation, and partnership with fellow law enforcement.”

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1921: The Tulsa Race Massacre begins. Thousands of whites rioted in Tulsa’s Greenwood District, killing hundreds of African Americans and burning their homes and businesses. It’s one of the worst incidents of racial violence in U.S. history. /1

This is the kind of thing that would be a full-blown scandal leading to the resignation of multiple officials in any normal administration. Instead, it is completely ignored.

Oh, Joni…

Cruel and Dangerous… The Trump administration just announced it’s shutting all Job Corps centers nationwide by June 30—no warning, no plan, just blindsiding students and families. Any thought given to the lives this disrupts? Any thought given to the skilled labor shortage this will make worse?

Department of Homeland Security officers invading a congressman's offices and arresting a staffer who tried to stop them is very, very bad. gothamist.com/news/homelan...

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

Keeping this right here for reference. www.newyorker.com/magazine/201...

Trump says we're overrun by "illegals." He's manifested those fever dreams into reality through a “de-documentation” campaign, stripping legal immigrants of their visas & work permits. He's not targeting criminals; he's criminalizing immigrants who follow the law. wapo.st/3HvBBka

Keep at it, @harvard.edu. You’re winning.

Spare me the fake outrage. None of these people showing up for court are criminals of any kind. As a prosecutor, I worked with many ICE officers who arrested violent criminals. None of them wore masks. Many of your agents are clearly ashamed to carry out your orders.

The federal government is trying to make it harder for veterans whose civil rights have been violated to get their day in court. We filed briefs in defense of the veterans pushing back on this attempt.

Trump Administration Knew Vast Majority Of Venezuelans Sent To Salvadoran Prison Had Not Been Convicted Of US Crimes talkingpointsmemo.com/news/deporte...

Trump hands Dept of Interior to Russia-linked oil exec: "... given sweeping powers to overhaul the department that manages public lands "...hasn’t divested his investments or filed an ethics commitment to break ties with companies that pose a conflict of interest" apnews.com/article/hass...

Not @repjasmine.bsky.social truth-telling on Republican Rep. Mike Flood 🔥 “Especially with your homeboy talking about, he didn’t know what was in the bill. That was absolutely in the judiciary markup that came out. So I knew about it and we fought about it, but OK, whatever.”

The children were between the ages of 9 and 12.

LIFE EXPECTANCY in the states that vote for Republicans is RIDICULOUSLY LOW. 🩻 Vote for DEMOCRATS to protect your HEALTH CARE 🗳️

Taxpayer money shouldn't be going to charter/private schools that hire uncredentialed teachers Our kids deserve the best teachers The Republican school voucher schemes are just another way for the rich to rip off real taxpayers

Russia-aligned actors are amplifying anti-Ukrainian sentiment in Poland before June 1 vote through coordinated campaigns across X, Bluesky, Facebook, and Telegram, according to a new investigation by the Institute for Strategic Dialogue.

LIGO detects gravitational wave disturbances such as colliding black holes produce & *requires* two locations (Washington and Louisiana) to pinpoint location. Trump wants to cut that to one. Grant odds will be cut to 7% CAREER grants, which help promising young scientists get their careers...

Dr. von Braun would like a word. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wernher...

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

These people were following the law and went to check in with immigration like they are supposed to. This woman's immigration case was dismissed, which made her immediately undocumented. So ICE took her into custody. The air conditioning was off in the back of the truck. "I can't breathe."

"A one sentence explanation of the Federalist Society vs. Trump might be this. An ideology welded to a spoils machine is in a fight to the death against a spoils machine welded to a spoils machine." www.programmablemutter.com/p/the-federa...

Veteran lawyers have reached a curious conclusion about President Trump's deals with big law firms this year: they do not appear to be legally valid.

I say this a lot, but for many, many people, their views on immigration enforcement boil down to "I want to kick out the bad ones and keep the good ones," and they haven't thought about the specifics much beyond that.

Dear mainstream media, If you’re out there saying: ‘I’m not gonna report on the latest batshit insanity utterly unpresidential unhinged lunacy the current occupant of the White House posted/said/spewed/muttered or mumbled because “Trump is just being Trump”…

Poor Taco 😂

They're trying to convince us this administration isn't fascist. Maybe Jake Tapper and his ilk should focus more on this than the former President's mental acuity. newrepublic.com/post/195904/...

Taking credit for other people’s work is par for the course.

They let this man ravage our govt & make decisions that resulted in suffering worldwide, & loss of jobs, livelihood & security at home. The irresponsibility & negligence ….. DO NOT LET SPEAKER JOHNSON NEAR A MIC OR CAMERA W/O DEMANDING HE ACCOUNT FOR THIS. Gift link www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/u...

An incredibly devastating decision which simply ignores the human costs and blesses the Trump admin's stripping of status of hundreds of thousands of people who entered the country legally — which the explicit stated goal of rapidly deporting those people without a court hearing.

Hey Sen. Joni Ernst, people shouldn't be dying of treatable conditions because their Senators cut social safety nets that people have paid into all their lives, so they no longer have access to the care that would treat or manage their conditions. The fact that this has to be spelled out is insane.

Yeah it’s gonna be not great

Bondi cuts out the ABA from the judicial nominations process.

WSJ EDITORIAL BOARD: “.. The Trump EOs are an abuse of executive power that isn’t justified under any fair reading of the Constitution. “.. he would be wise to cut his losses before he goes zero for nine at the Supreme Court.” @wsj.com www.wsj.com/opinion/rich...

Some women want love. Some seek power and money. Some seek attention and fame. Me? I just want to know who the administrator of DOGE really is. My manifesto, my magnum opus—“The WITAOD Chronicles”—is out now. ⬇️ 👇 www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...
