“America actually is, at present, an occupied country. . .To the extent that this statement is complicated by the fact that those in power were elected, their conduct in office seems not to be what many of their voters were led to expect or would have chosen.” www.nybooks.com/articles/202...

The 22-year-old reportedly tasked by Donald Trump with tackling U.S. extremism was working as a neighborhood gardener just five years ago and in a grocery store as recently as August 2023.

Mission Accomplished? 🤷🏻‍♂️ #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer

Tarlov: When you look at the statistics of who they’re actually arresting, you know they’re wearing masks because they’re not making good on the promises they made to the American people of arresting criminals. They want to pick up everybody who is here illegally which is not what he campaigned on.

Unbelievable www.nytimes.com/2025/06/03/u...

Arresting a 17-year-old on his way to volleyball practice, here since age 5, or a Missouri mom of three at a routine check-in after 20 years in the U.S.—this isn't justice, it's cruelty. And, yes, ICE agents should be ashamed of themselves.

WATCH: “It's totally unconscionable,” says Sen. Bernie Sanders on the GOP bill that would kick 11 million Americans off health care. “And to do that in order to give massive tax breaks to people today on the top—who have never ever had it so good—is beyond cruel.”

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

Marjorie Taylor Greene is the “DOGE Committee Chair.” How embarrassing for her.

NEW: ICE has quietly rescinded a policy requiring agents to ensure courthouse raids don't clash with state and local laws. WIRED detected the missing language in a superseding memo posted to ICE's website this week. by me and @dmehro.bsky.social:

Can the sane among us agree — there would be far fewer of us alive today if RFK Jr. had been HHS Secretary in 2020? 🚨 CDC official overseeing COVID-19 vaccine recommendations resigns

Totally not fascist.

truck drivers are out of work — literally stuck sitting, waiting and in some cases going broke — because of Trump’s tariffs. here’s one of them. thank you @nicollewallace.bsky.social for the time to tell this story.

Trump has pardoned multiple convicted fraudsters — including a former GOP Congressman and two reality TV stars.  He's also dropped or halted 100+ enforcement actions against corporate offenders — including 34 companies that funded his inauguration. Is this being "tough on crime"?

‼️‼️

Eliminate the cap and Social Security is fixed.

Morals? What does Mike Johnson know about morals?

REMINDER: 72 million patients currently rely on Medicaid. It’s the largest provider of long-term care in the country. Under Medicaid, people are healthier and have the security of health care coverage.

I don't respect people who respect him.

“As many as 2.7 million households would lose food benefits, with the average blow to the family grocery budget totaling $254 a month… “By design, the Trumpy Medicaid changes will remove 10.3 million people from their health insurance, according to the CBO…” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Felon 47 never stops. As long as he lives he'll keep lying, bullying and threatning.

“TACO Trump” Chickens Out of “No Tax on Social Security” Campaign Pledge Trump spins seniors on watered down GOP Bill meidasnews.com/news/taco-tr...

Never in American history has a man taken millions of dollars in donations from a person with Government Contracts and let them fire 280,000 Government employees and steal our personal Data. Sounds like terrorism.

Still waiting on Pam Bondi arresting people for all that “fraud” DOGE claims they found. 🙄

We're all living in the danger zone. What the hell is going on and why!

Wow—this is what community looks like. It’s heartwarming to see locals rally around Buona Forchetta after it was raided by ICE on Friday. In the face of fear and cruelty, San Diegans are showing up with solidarity.

Wow, this one Fox actually covered. But let’s see whether this gets any run on their network instead of just the website.

I'm never 100% sure something is true until Donald or Elon denies it.

I got a lot of death threats after I confronted Nancy Mace at a tech conference in DC and I guess it's nice to know that most of them were probably just from her and her bot army? www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

A Johnson County,Texas Deputy used nationwide license plate readers to track down a Texas woman who was seeking an out of state abortion. The reason as stated on the warrant” had an abortion-search for female” This should scare the hell out of all Americans. Big Brother is here. #ProudBlue

ICE agents refuse to show their ID earlier today (May 30th, 2025) in Great Barrington, Massachusetts

Who is Peter Thiel? Apparently he is very private and doesn’t like attention. We can change that can’t we? I mean, the dude wants to take over the world with his “network states” society. I’m not going to shut up about him and it’s time to expose his charade.

The Russian military has suffered damage worth more than $2bn as a result of the operation Web strikes. The aircraft hit reportedly includes the A-50 radar surveillance plane, as well as Tu-95 and Tu-22M3 strategic bombers — key to Russia’s air assault operations against civilians in Ukraine.

Exactly. The fact that a lot of Americans have grown complacent over Covid boosters (or seasonal flu shots) is hardly a reason for banning access to them.

Vought blatantly lies about Medicaid cuts on CNN, claiming "no one will lose coverage as a result of this bill"

ICE is now posing as the electric company to get access to people’s houses. tucson.com/news/local/b...

🤔

There is no way Ukraine could trust the current US government with info that they had operatives behind enemy lines in Russia to execute this operation. Telling that to the Trump admin would put their lives in even greater danger than they already were.

“We’re not in love with the law” is a pretty good motto for this group

That works for me.....

In a healthy information environment, this would be front-page news.

BASH: Is it fair to say that what you are doing now is in part enacting Project 2025? VOUGHT: No, of course not. (This is a blatant lie.)
