"The threat from Russia against all of us is real and it is serious," - Prime Minister of Denmark Mette Frederiksen. "Putin is talking about peace during the day and bombing at night. We see a more aggressive Russia approach in the Baltic Sea region”

How do we create a localized AMBER-style alert to get citizens where they need to be to start intercepting these thugs?!

Good. Hoping a newly formed law office will do some pro bono!

Remember when this pic of Elián González was a national scandal instead of a daily occurrence?

"Support for the law firms that didn’t make deals has been growing... "At least 11 big companies are moving work away from firms that settled with the administration or are giving more business to firms that have been targeted but refused to strike deals..." www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

Giving an immoral man absolute immunity and the ability to pardon other immoral people hasn’t worked out so well. Go figure.

A brutal 2–1 decision from the 5th Circuit forcing the removal of a young girl to Venezuela even though she has lived in Texas for years and it is the only home she can remember. The dissent verges on incandescence in its fury and despondency. Incredibly bleak. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Here's a challenge America: Crack 64% voter participation, for once.

Lol. "Rest in pieces"

Love the shiner.

Not one single Ukranian f’d up and posted it on SIgnal.

If you want to astound a younger American today, tell them that thirty years ago there was actually a years-long investigation into a president's personal business dealings and, even better, it centered on a real estate venture where he *lost* money.

Wow, Russ Vought (Trump's budget director) is planning to do "pocket rescissions." This is an illegal practice that'd institute at minimum a 12% cut to any program on the list (larger to anything behind on obligations). GAO, tasked w/ determining ICA violations, has said this practice is illegal.

In the Sunday evening news wrap-ups,Russiah Channel 1&Russia 1 devoted just 40 sec to the largest Ukrainian drone attack on airbases. The Russiah Ministry of Defense issued a dry statement about "fires" at airfields in 5 regions —&that was it. There was complete silence on the morning broadcasts

For all the “Russia participates in the START treaty which is why the bombers we’re in the open” level of cope out there: No they don’t. They suspended their participation in 2023. They just thought the bombers we’re safe

I haven't seen any other members of Congress taking about ICE (and whoever else is helping ICE) wearing masks and removing badges to hide their identity. Call your Rep &. Senators! Ask them to talk about why ICE / DHS are hiding their identities! 🚨(202) 224-3121

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security with 100% of their income. A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security with less than 1% of their income. Does that sound fair to you?

In the 42 years since the start of the Reagan revolution, bought-off politicians have so altered our tax code that fully $51 trillion has moved from the homes and savings of working-class Americans into the money bins of the morbidly rich money hoarders.
