Remember when Trump, the President, posted a bat shit QAnon conspiracy about Biden being a clone? That was Saturday. America has already moved on. It's a self-destructive spiral.

In 2019 after newly elected Black sheriffs in NC vowed to stop cooperating with ICE, the agency carried out wide scale enforcement in the state as retaliation, often posing as day laborers to nab immigrant workers in the early morning hours:

He needed air. The price was $539. When OptumRx dropped coverage of his $66 inhaler, Cole couldn’t afford the new price. 5 days later, he died from a severe asthma attack—with no inhaler. He paid with his life. www.nbcnews.com/nightly-news... #MedSky #SciSky #PedsSky #PulmSky

Harvey Milk served his country honorably — first in uniform, then in public office. Taking his name off this Navy ship sends a clear message, and it’s one of disrespect and cruelty.

🚨Heard about this earlier today; ICE is expanding to arrests at ATD (alternatives to detention) case management check-ins. Dozens of people got texts to show up weeks in advance of their normal check-in, and ended up detained. Three women let go were told to come back tomorrow with their kids.

3 facts that Trump doesn't want you to know about his "big, beautiful" budget: 1️⃣ It cuts Medicaid by $600 billion over a decade 2️⃣ It'll boot nearly 14 million Americans off their health care 3️⃣ It’ll increase the federal deficit by over $1 trillion

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 think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

This is what’s needed. Intelligent people witnessing the dangerous consequences of foolish gutting of important agencies and both warning the public and urging them to call their representatives. Next we likely need meteorologists leading street protests.

If you are surprised that Musk is now bashing the GOP budget bill, I suggest you go back and read what I wrote in early February. For Trump, this has always been the plan. "Musk may believe he is doing all of this to cut the size of the government. But that is not Trump’s plan."

The murder of Jonathan Joss, details of which I saw last night, each moment described worse than the last, was truly gut wrenchingly horrific. This is where their "anti woke" rhetoric leads, and may it stop the train in its tracks or we, allied, stop it for them. Pure evil. Pure pointless evil.

There's still basically no evidence for Musk "stepping away" from politics besides his own claims, yet the Times keeps repeating the lie to help him - sometime contradicting their own reporters. Don't print lies in the newspaper.
