Remember how obnoxious - and effective - Mitch McConnell was as the leader of the minority under Obama - and he was just making stuff up!

I hope more reporters follow up on Bash’s question: “What exactly does that mean?”

Another example. Fortunately, there are very specific things the public, local and state officials, and members of Congress can do to hit the #offswitch.

It’s odd to me that “we need to restore Christian values to Europe” is not coded as anti-Semitic even though it is, quite literally, anti-semitism’s original form.

When the National Sheriff’s Assn calls out Trump and DHS for their cartoonish level of dysfunction

submitted 1 day ago • 0 comments

Like I said, it’s utter nonsense, but also telling - of the dysfunctional, cartoonish, and yet dangerous lengths that the MAGA GOP will go to coerce cities and sheriffs into the fold. The national sheriffs need to step away from the nativism.

The sanctuary all stars list is out. It’s Trump’s supposed sanctuary city hit list of pro-immigrant localities nationwide. It’s utter nonsense, but also telling – of the dysfunctional, cartoonish, and yet dangerous lengths that the MAGA GOP will go to coerce cities and sheriffs into the fold. 1/4

As the FBI assigns hundreds of additional agents to focus on arresting people for deportation, agents "have been told by supervisors not to document moving resources away from high-priority cases toward immigration-related work." www.cnn.com/2025/05/29/p...

NEW: @cnn.com confirms that hundreds of FBI agents have been reassigned away from criminal and counterterrorism investigations to instead work with ICE to round up migrants. The security impacts are clear — and may be why the FBI is alleged to be hiding any paper trail.

Wow. Avelo airlines has covered up their logo to hide the fact that they're helping with mass deportation. Avelo's customer service number is (346) 616-9500. Feel free to give them a call and tell them how you feel about them.

Thought exercise. What would Sen Mitch McConnell have done, if when he was the head of the opposition party and then President Obama tried to neutralize the federal courts? Cc @kaine.senate.gov, @schumer.senate.gov

Article says the provision “could disarm” SCOTUS. “Could”? It’s an attempt to remove whatever teeth the federal courts have as they are standing between Trump’s MAGA wet dreams of revenge, power, and greed. Oh to have a functional opposition in the Senate. www.newsweek.com/hidden-provi...

You're seeing America kamikaze itself into a brick wall. It didn't have to be this way. But greed and racism, our two sins, will be our downfall. Too many people still with their hands in the sand.

McGovern: "This is not a governing philosophy. It is a scam. I wasn't sent here to vote for trash. I can't understand why you'd choose a career of public service to do this -- to rip away the healthcare & food assistance of working & middle class Americans. Is that really what you came here to do?"
