Angus: We have American officials claiming that Canada is some kind of terrorist haven. They’re saying we’re sending massive gangs of El Salvadorans over the border. I’m sorry—have you ever visited Canada? Could you show us where these El Salvadoran gangs supposedly are?

Be a MacKenzie Scott not a Bezos.

In the end they will try to lock up every brown person in the country, whether they are a citizen or not. He will sign an executive order declaring himself president for life and the Supreme Court will uphold it 6-3. They will leave you no choice. They think so little of you.

Now this would be interesting

FEMA did not answer ProPublica’s questions about its missed application deadline or the impact of funding cuts and delays, instead responding with a statement that Secretary Noem is focused on bringing accountability to FEMA’s spending

Look at this amazing sign. #NoKings #butterfly

This was, quite frankly, the kind of game the Nationals lost too many times during this long road trip. But then several of the kids came through late, and Kyle Finnegan turned in the longest appearance of his career to secure a rare series win. www.masnsports.com/blog/entry/n...

Murray: This bill polls like garbage because it is garbage. That's why it should go nowhere except a trash bin

1/7🧵 When You See Masked Individuals Detaining Someone, Document Relentlessly. *Record everything. *Get badge numbers, license plates, and van descriptions... if possible. *Stream in REAL-TIME so footage can’t be seized and erased. Videos must flood the internet before the spin machine activates

Raskin: "If you can opt out of mandatory classroom readings bc it offends your religious objections, you can do it bc it offends your philosophical beliefs... you're gonna have a lot of cases where ppl say 'Our family doesn't believe in evolution. We don't want our kid in class when it's taught'"

Charlie Kirk. What a weird guy. 🤣🤣

Phang: Immediately after being appointed… Habba said, quote: “We could turn New Jersey red, and I think New Jersey is absolutely close to getting there. So hopefully, while I’m there, I can help that cause.” Doesn’t sound like somebody who is trying to be, I don’t know, a fair arbiter of the law—

Watching my son force his girlfriend to watch endless Monty Python and Cook & Moore sketches against her will. I have raised him well.

A Piping Plover chick tries to squeeze in. Moms are so patient and amazing.

When this Administration lays off Hundreds of Postal works and suddenly the Postal service doesn't work, they privatize it. You'll still be paying taxes, but you'll have to pay for Postal service from a Private Contractor outside government. Does anyone get this?

Memo:

We were so fortunate to have such a good and decent man as our president.

If Jeff Bezos can afford to rent Venice for a $50 million wedding, he can afford to pay his fair share in taxes.

Good times...

Pam Bondi is a traitor.

Leavitt without a trace of irony: "When you have a totalitarian regime, you have to save face. I think any common sense, open-minded person knows the truth about the precision strikes on Saturday night. They were wildly successful."

The happiest, healthiest countries in the world are social democracies. We had the most thriving era in the US when we were a social democracy. Another word for it is of the people and by the people. We need it back. Losing it has spiraled us into Fascism and oligarchy.

If we can get that guy to shut up and sit down, we can do anything. Resist!

ACIP has just voted (6 yes, 1 abstention) to approve existing influenza vaccine recommendations for 2025-2026 for all persons aged 6 months and older who don’t have contraindications. This is great news.

WATCH: “Does that sequence of events concern you about foreign influence on 🇺🇸?” @agpambondi throws a fit and ducks @senjeffmerkley’s questions about Trump’s brazen corruption — changing policy after UAE bought $2 BILLION of Trump’s crypto coins.

CNN: Three sources tell CNN that according to an early U.S. Intelligence assessment, the U.S. Military strikes on three of Iran's nuclear facilities last weekend did not destroy the core components of the country's nuclear program and likely only set it back a few months
