Please note that of all the shit they claimed he did, and they claimed a LOT of bullshit, they're not charging him with any of it.

VETERAN: “This is why they can’t wear masks. Because people like this exist… if you want to snatch people off the streets, do it in uniform, and show your damn face.” (@MarshaBlackburn’s Secret Police bill criminalizes transparency and threatens 5 years for naming an ICE agent)

ICE is detaining people in LA in a basement with no beds, no air, no light and not enough food and water. These are crimes.

Wellman: When I served in Iraq.. I heard about how Saddam Hussein divided them. Different sects fought each other. But you know -- Saddam and his family sat laughing at all of them. They divided them against each other and kept their power for 35 years. Does this sound familiar to anybody?

They’re not going to release the Epstein files, are they?

Still LA, ICE is gathered again to start another operation after tear gassing civilians for hours at Paramount. A massive ICE presence stands across the street from civilians. This is live right now.

See the difference? 👀

Now everyone will go look up the book and it will make NY Times. #sighs #booksky #writingcommunity

By the way a military parade when we’re not celebrating a war victory is something a dude who never served would do.

A huge shoutout to all the Meidas Mighty who showed up BIG at the Unite for Vets rally in DC yesterday

ICYMI — ICE DIRECTOR: “These are real people with real families you’re hurting.” He says this not about immigrants… but about ICE agents. A record-setting lack of self-awareness.

NEW: Unbelievable. A seemingly endless line of tanks & other military vehicles arrive in DC ahead of next week's parade. They departed Texas 5 days ago. What a colossal waste of time, money & military resources. All for a President who has shown zero respect for service personnel. (🎥 DW)

A poll-driven view of politics [and as a Data Person I often fall in that trap] can blind you to the basic human (*and* strategic) fact that the assertion of strength can *increase* strength. The 2nd paragraph is IMHO the perfect tone for organizational messaging today. via @aaronsojourner.org

Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there. What an unbelievable asshole.

We must give them hope.

Bernie, you rascal! You’re spot on here.

Curious how this post omits the words “Russia” and “Putin.”

Although the recent technical issues have made it even worse, there has been something terribly wrong with it for quite a long time. It’s a toxic disaster area.

I am coming across more comic stuff than I can handle, but this is the spray of the year

This hits hard.

Meme coin 🤮 An asset with no inherent value, backed only by corruption, and once the big dinner is over, completely worthless. I wonder what they will but with the money? Maybe build a pyramid where the White House used to be.

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?"

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.

Dingell: They are going to rip healthcare away from almost 14 million people. When I was at home, a mother had her child in a wheelchair and started crying on the elevator—she wanted me to promise her that her child would still be able to go to the doctor. Children’s Hospital in Detroit—

The president’s son.

Michelle and I are thinking of the entire Biden family. Nobody has done more to find breakthrough treatments for cancer in all its forms than Joe, and I am certain he will fight this challenge with his trademark resolve and grace. We pray for a fast and full recovery.

Some good news! www.cnn.com/2025/05/18/e...

Just FYI because evidently Fox or OAN or whatever is pushing the lie that America accepted the Statue of Liberty and that’s equivalent to the plane. Congress VOTED to approve receiving the statue. So congress should vote on the jet

this is insane. kfor.com/news/local/h...

BREAKING: A woman was kicked out of a women’s bathroom at a Massachusetts hotel by a security guard who demanded she “prove her gender.” No badge gives you the right to sexually harass someone in a bathroom. This is what fascism looks like in real time. And it’s coming to your city next.

it's Election Day tomorrow... in Omaha. Mayor Jean Stothert, the GOP incumbent, faces John Ewing Jr., the Democratic treasurer of Douglas County. Omaha has leaned blue in federal races, but Stothert has been able to hold on to her office for now.

We should be ashamed of ourselves for not appreciating him breaking the law. ✈️ 💰 🙏

🚨HIT THE PHONES TO SAVE MEDICAID - PLEASE AMPLIFY & ACT 🚨 TODAY the House will be marking up deeply unpopular massive Medicaid cuts. MANY GOP on the committee are in tight districts. Calls and pressure ARE effective here. Call today. Type your zip to get a script ⬇️ OcasioCortez.com/savemedicaid

Aaaand there it is.

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?

Just curious, what’s the tariff on a $400 million jet from Qatar?

The stock market is going to skyrocket today, but this is not bc Trump is a great president, an economic genius or a master deal maker. It is simply bc he’s an arsonist who almost burned the house down and is now putting out his own fire by caving on it all. Do not forget any of this…

NEWS: U.S. and China agree to a 90-day pause on new tariffs after shipping to U.S. ports plummeted. Tariffs on Chinese imports will be cut from 145% to 30%. Tariffs on U.S. imports will be cut from 125% to 10%. If tariffs should result in massive job growth and make the U.S. rich, why lower them?
