Crockett is the full package. She's had about 20 years as a courtroom lawyer, and it shows as she runs circles around her colleagues in committee. That she's telegenic and scandal-free, is icing on the cake.

West Virginia is warning that women who have a miscarriage could be charged with a crime unless they contact local police. Every woman in WV should call 911 every time they have a period. Gum up the system with malicious compliance. www.cnn.com/2025/06/06/h...

Chief of Nashville, criminal division resigns over decision to charge Abrego Garcia. That’s a big story and the details will likely be very damning for the administration.

Trump trying to distract America with plans for a new $100,000,000 White House BALLROOM While he STRIPS AWAY health care, food assistance, veterans benefits, Meals on Wheels and basic human rights from MILLIONS OF AMERICANS And saddles US with another $2,400,000,000 worth of debt

This is the same DOJ that let legions of convicted white dudes who assaulted scores of officers on J6 go free! FUCK THESE DAMN RACIST MAGA HYPOCRITES!

Dan Rather: Hegseth skipped NATO meeting on Russian escalations in Ukraine. Musta been too busy stripping civil rights leaders' names from Navy ships

ADL represents MAGA and Israeli fringe right parties. It has lost its bearings...and the support of the majority of those it was once founded to help.

Reminder that California subsidizes red states.

DumbAsses!!!! www.spokesman.com/stories/2025... Evangelical wealth building conference accused of exploitative sales tactics lands in Spokane Saturday

The problem, which Mike Johnson knows, is that these officers aren't even identifying themselves as federal agents or law enforcement. Allowing them to hide their identities allows them to hide from accountability. No names, no badges, no warrants, no due process, no hearings, no justice.

Corruption is a major counterintelligence threat. CIA used it to great effect in China in the 2000s, building its source networks there off the culture of avarice and graft. The corruption weakened China. Xi’s purges were a direct result of this realization. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/06/u...

“God bless Secretary McMahon” Greenblatt is a disgrace

It was never about what Kilmar Abrego Garcia did or didn’t do It was always about the fact that he was deported and sent to a gulag in El Salvador *without due process* Which, after this post by AUSA Schrader and the press conference from Pam Bondi, I am far from convinced he will receive

The Chief of the Criminal Division at the US Attorney’s Office/Middle District of Tennessee RESIGNED the same day the Acting US Attorney signed the indictment of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. He writes: “do the right thing, in the right way, for the right reasons.” There are no coincidences.

So Harvard must follow Trump’s DEI ban—but they also must admit more conservative students. That’s laughable. Students from red states won’t be able to compete with students from the real world when they’re being taught the Bible is a history book and enslaved people were “happy workers”.

'The US health care system was deliberately built this way. Insurers profit from obscurity. Politicians reap campaign contributions and avoid blame. Patients – especially the uninsured and underinsured – are left to make impossible choices.' #ChangeTheSystem! theconversation.com/us-health-ca...

BREAKING The President of California’s largest union has been detained during an ICE raid.

Key point.

Around the time that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was indicted in the Middle District of Tennessee, the chief of the criminal division in that district posted this on LinkedIn: “Earlier today, after nearly 15 years as an Assistant United States Attorney, I resigned…”

To save face, Trump’s DOJ now claims they have new charges against Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Now he will get due process in court and we will see who’s lying. I know who my money is on #DueProcess

We don’t need to back off the American Gestapo and we don’t need to respect its agents. People exercising state violence are not entitled to anonymity. Nor are the people directing the state violence.

A new Yale & Penn study finds the Republican Big Ugly Bill would cause 51,000 preventable DEATHS every year by gutting healthcare and food aid. That’s not policy—it’s mass cruelty. This isn’t a budget. It’s a disgusting abomination.

81 years ago, America's bravest generation stormed the beaches of Normandy in hopes of freeing Europe from the clutches of a brutal authoritarian. Today, we face authoritarianism on our shores. We owe it to ourselves, our country, and that great generation to fight for freedom here at home.

ICYMI:

🚨NEWS: Colorado Gov. Jared Polis is ordering his employees to help Trump's immigration crackdown & follow a secret Trump subpoena that his top labor official says illegally violates state privacy laws that Polis himself signed, according to court documents reviewed by The Lever.

We’ve got receipts, Elon.

That's what Hitler did.

Are we great yet?

This man was courageous enough to stand up to Trump and Vance. So it's important to post this message and photo to 27 million people. Don't just "like" it -- that only means that YOU'VE seen it. Postb it, blow it up and get it out there! #SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦

Stephen Miller is privately raging over deportation numbers he deems too low. So he's shifting huge amounts of law enforcement resources away from fighting serious crimes and into his immigration crackdown. If voters knew about this, they'd recoil. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/1961...

We are now risking lives and actively letting people die because they can't afford inhalers. Why? Because insurance companies are emboldened to not cover them under Trump. Cole Schmidtknecht died because of price-gouging — and he didn't have to.

Dean: When did we have a trade surplus? Lutnick: About 100 years ago Dean: It was the Great Depression.

Ah, the golden age.

Believe Most Of Us Would Agree! That's Not What We Are Witnessing...

#ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #Pinks Read this. And read it again. How can ANYONE disagree? #Pride 🌈

Yikes

DEAN: What's the tariff on bananas? LUTNICK: Generally 10% DEAN: Walmart has already increased the cost of bananas by 8% LUTNICK: If you build in America, there is no tariff DEAN: We cannot build bananas in America

A recent study found that for every $1 invested in the National Weather Service, it produces $73 in value to Americans. Not only is the NWS a life-saving government resource, it's actually quite efficient.

Bernie: "What that is all about is that if you're rich in America, you can make campaign contributions, you are entitled to massive tax breaks because you're superhuman beings. But if you're a poor working stiff, working at McDonald's, struggling to put food on the table, you're entitled to nothing"
