Today, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Mexico’s lawsuit aimed at holding U.S. gun manufacturers accountable for fueling gun violence in Mexico is not sufficient to overcome the unique protections from civil liability that Congress granted the firearm industry. My thoughts... 🧵

I can’t speak for anyone else, but this analogy of “Lady Liberty’ held captive, is exactly how I feel about this presidency & administration and what their attempting to do with our rights and freedoms… The New Yorker captured the feelings perfectly… One word, UNACCEPTABLE!

RFK Jr. is absolutely poisonous. He has now caused Dr. Lakshmi Panagiotakopoulos, the person in charge of COVID19 vaccinations at the CDC, to resign. She did so because RFK Jr. demanded that the experts in charge of vaccine guidance listen to him and not to the scientific evidence.

I’m overjoyed and can certainly say the decision ICE made today to accept Yessenia’s appeal is the right one. She is an upstanding member of the community fleeing trafficking who has the right to have her case heard.

Buttigieg understands how to do this. If people don't care about their neighbors, you can't change their hearts (at least not in the short term.) But you can make them understand how this affects entire communities. MEDICAID DOLLARS DON'T GO TO PEOPLE. THEY GO TO HOSPITALS, DOCTORS, NURSING HOMES.

Casar: What we discovered last night, which is really breaking news, is that they’re not just robbing Medicaid—it turns out they’re also planning to rob Medicare of nearly half a billion dollars if they pass this bill.

So we should admit and accept, up front, that the Colorado never was and never will be a mighty river system, and that it is climate-challenged and prone to drought. We never should have asked it for so much. We invaded it like cancer, turning water into property. I wish it wasn’t so. (From 2023)

The Rules Committee meets at 1 AM on Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning to ram through this disastrous bill. Why? Because they don't want you to see them ripping healthcare from millions of Americans. You do not hold a hearing for a bill at 1 AM unless you're completely ashamed of it.

I am reminded today that rather than the Supreme Court allowing Bob McDonnell to be convicted of bribery as he would have for the previous 225 years of the republic, they redefined public corruption to only include being handed a sack with a $$ on front and note saying this is a bribe for X.

It's hard to adequately describe how scary it is to watch mainstream political journalists barely push back against a sitting U.S. president accepting a $400M plane from a foreign government that would literally be designated as an emergency command-and-control center during a nuclear war.

The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents. What the fuck are we doing here?

When you watch these heartbreaking videos showing the cruel and thuggish behavior of ICE agents, remember that these people are not being FORCED to commit these acts — they do so willingly. They could quit their jobs at any time. They could say “enough!” ICE agents CHOOSE to do what they do.

I gather Stephen Miller is engaged in a full-out campaign to be the new national security adviser. I also believe he was instrumental in poisoning the well for Waltz and Wong. And who doesn’t believe he and Loomer are in cahoots?
