Well, not quite all of them. But it will be a start.

"Just one more thing, sir. Since the election, you've announced 12 projects in foreign countries: the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Vietnam, India, Qatar, & Oman. You got a $400 million jet, sold meme coins, $600 sneakers, Chinese bibles, & hats. How is any of this making America great?"

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.

Raise your hand if you’re not even a meteorologist and you still know there’s a hurricane season.

I've seen folks talk about how "in four years" they'll be able to get back to their planned projects and I really don't think that's going to work out. People & projects losing funding now will not be able to hit pause and come back once funding is restored. Hard-won progress & capacity will be lost

The Department of Homeland Security is NOT making our country safer. They're ignoring immigration laws. They're handcuffing moms, zip tying children and disappearing them without hearings or due process. They're weaponizing DHS to purge people from the population. They're hiding their faces.⬇️

A guy who heads a right-wing group told Congress today that I am a "Democratic 'super-lawyer' whose partisanship is unrivaled." I feel seen...

Hiding their faces, hiding their names by using pens to hold their pocket flaps up, hiding their names. ICE agents have “consciousness of guilt,” know they are committing crimes. They need to be unmasked, named, and charged #UnmaskICE

While Stephen Miller publishes the faces of the judges that struck down Trump’s unlawful tariffs, his own goons in ICE refuse to show theirs out of fear of being publicly identified. If our judges are brave enough to face MAGA threats with their faces showing, ICE should not hide behind masks.

Wow. Avelo airlines has covered up their logo to hide the fact that they're helping with mass deportation. Avelo's customer service number is (346) 616-9500. Feel free to give them a call and tell them how you feel about them.

The USA is barely recognizable after 4 months; if you think you can sit on the sidelines and it will be handed back to you in four years you are out of your mind.

Peter Navarro snaps at @andrewfeinberg.com after Feinberg points out that the administration always responds to court orders they don't like by railing against judges

Yep! That’s The Guy! Reeks Of Hypocrisy….

I'm Dr. Annie Andrews. I’m a pediatrician, not a politician. But either way I know how to handle people who are full of sh*t. Today I am announcing my campaign for US Senate to replace Lindsey Graham. Share this if you're with me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8wM...

Turns out, judges agree.

Today, I was denied access to seeing my constituent, Mr. Kilmar Abrego Garcia. If there is nothing to hide, cut the crap. Let his lawyer and I check on him.

It’s not Zelensky’s war or Biden’s war or Trump’s war. It is Putin’s war. Why can’t Trump simply say that? Why is he obsessed with blaming everyone else? It is a simple and obvious truth that should be stated with moral clarity. But the US president is a liar and a coward.

Switching from Trump’s Amazon to the more diverse, equitable, and inclusive Costco is easier than you think. I made the switch. Now everything I need is delivered by Costco right to my door in two hours instead of two days - and without supporting oligarchs!

We will not win the battle for democracy if those in the pro-democracy movement prize caution over taking risks. We cannot permit ourselves to be deterred by the defeats and public criticism that are inevitable along the long path of restoring democracy. Now is the time for fearless leadership.

They’ll believe any number they get fed.

Harvard's Sidechat. Who agrees?

Phang: It’s time for federal judges to acknowledge that they have lifetime appointments—and that should give them the courage to uphold the rule of law, but also to put some damn teeth into the court orders they’re issuing. it’s time that we start seeing action from the judiciary. Grow some balls

I hope legacy media covers the connection between last night's memecoin dinner and this morning's social media tariff threats. He's manipulating the stock market.

Jeffries on the $5m payout to Ashli Babbitt's family: "This settlement is just an extension of what they've previously done, which is to pardon violent felons who violently attacked the Capitol on January 6, including police officers."

Absolutely 💯

“Sorry, we don’t have enough money for universal healthcare, we’re too busy paying people whose family members tried to overthrow the federal government”

NEW! The truth about Donald Trump rarely makes it into the news: presswatchers.org/2025/05/the-...

GIFFORDS: Trump just effectively legalized #machineguns. Trump’s #DOJ is reportedly approving the sale of forced reset triggers, allowing guns to fire as machine #guns which have been banned since 1986 The DOJ reportedly settled a lawsuit that challenged the #ATF #ban on the devices.

AG Pam Bondi sold over $1M in Trump Media stock on April 2 What else happened that day? Trump’s tariff policy went into effect & then the stock price went down Hmm... I’ll discuss tonight w Anderson Cooper @cnn.com at 8:30 pm ET

The GOP says they’re going after “fraud and abuse” in Medicaid, but what they’re really doing is cutting hundreds of billions of dollars from a program that delivers care to the poorest Americans.

Honestly? The $400M plane from Qatar is quaint compared to his crypto scam, memecoin con, insider trading, and tariff shakedowns.

Could you imagine the response if a democratic president said they didn’t know if they had to uphold the Constitution? How fast would the articles of impeachment be drawn ? 20 minutes at the most

If you have to repeatedly break the law to arrest those you claim have broken the law, you’re not enforcing the law. ICE has morphed into a terrorizing Gestapo-like goon squad. They must be held accountable.

“Abolish ICE” is the moderate position. Radical is “prosecute every ICE employee under RICO.”

In an era that looked as if it might be defined by an American man of depraved cruelty, corruption & shame, what a magnificent thing the Catholic Church has done. The elevation of an American man of goodness, grace, humility, mercy & faith to the Throne of St. Peter is moving & momentous for us all.
