King Trump is now planning to destroy the lives of millions and millions of California children to get back at Gavin Newsom for his words. "Monstrous" does not _begin_ to touch the depravity of this.

Heads up: Trump just said he would invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807 if necessary to deal with protests in Los Angeles.

There's your waste, fraud and abuse. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Peacefully protesting is a right. It’s completely un-American and needlessly provocative for Trump to deploy the National Guard and Marines against Americans. These are unlawful orders.

You voted for lower groceries and taxes… you didn’t get either. But you do get military in your streets, infighting in the White House, exorbitant spending and manufactured chaos.

There are no orders for these troops, they are operating illegally and they don’t even know it. We need to educate them! Posse Comitatus Act prevents our military from acting in this capacity the only way troops can interact with civilians is if you invoke the Insurrection Act.

Great use of taxpayer funds.

Embarrassment

Sure seems like that report would clear this right up. Strange.

And how would Trump or congress react if an ally did this to us? www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Durbin to Bhattacharya: "I can't understand it. I disagree w/ this admin on so many things. But this is the one that really gets to me personally. To think this nation would walk away from medical research. For God's sake...cancer, your budget requests a 38% cut to the National Cancer Institute"

This is on all the Senators who turned a blind eye and voted to confirm. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/h...

Healthcare for seniors is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon *is* waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.

Instead of working tirelessly to take away our Medicare Medicaid and Social Security, shouldn’t Congress be investigating why the President gave a “big time drug addict” the keys to the US government?

I’m still stuck on this. You can’t barge your way into a bureaucracy where you have no experience or subject matter expertise, blow it all up, and then go “nooooo I’m just a smol bean programmer I never expected anyone to USE this output”

But keep telling us how they care about the debt and efficiency. This colossal waste will stand as a historic monument to his malignant narcissism.

Imagine that. www.npr.org/2025/06/02/n...

Disgusting. Disgusting is the word.

Is it possible to have an investigation conducted into how many pardoned insurrectionists are now on the ICE payroll? Especially with them slated for a $42K bonus in the congressional bill sitting with the senate. A $42K bonus is ~15 years of performance bonuses for a standard DoD civil servant.

I saw an ad in my tiny rural paper. It was for a job with no experience required with a 30k sign on bonus. It was for ICE agents.

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

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…”

Inspectors in Somerset County, NJ, checked ≈ 115 establishments. Their lowest score goes to Trump’s Bedminster Golf Club. They found expired milk, improperly stored raw meat, and sinks without soap or towels. It got a C grade (32 out of 100) www.forbes.com/sites/zachev...

In a new executive order, President Trump has unleashed his White House counsel and attorney general to conduct a wide-ranging investigation of his predecessor and the Biden White House staff. talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

Terrifying stuff. Sharp decline in insect numbers tied to global heating. They are at the base of ecosystems and their decline will reverberate upwards. The fact that this is probably going to happen in my life time. We really need to stop burning fossil fuels today!

COOL!

"The map shows locations where many of the more than 20,000 officially missing Ukrainian children, considered a conservative estimate by both Hala and Save Ukraine, have been taken since Russia occupied their homes." "Mykola Kuleba, head of Save Ukraine , likened the network to a modern-day gulag."

Please read, this is important. Sorry it’s long. Trump’s move to have Elon Musk step aside wasn’t a retreat. It was a distraction. With Musk’s name out of the headlines, many assumed the controversial Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had quietly ended. It hasn’t. It’s just changed hands.

FACT: If you fell for this, you'll fall for anything.
