They’re cutting funding for Big Bird and Elmo—who millions of kids watch for free every week—while paying people in crypto to sit through a multimillion-dollar parade no one asked for. But somehow that’s not considered waste. washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/tlg/d/wa...

Cannot express enough how much what happened at that meeting three weeks ago has changed things on the ground. Courthouse arrests started within days, then check-in arrests. Worksite raids, once rare, began happening daily. Detention has skyrocketed over capacity. People are going missing.

This...is...not...honest. This pic is from five years ago and not even in Los Angeles. Immoral opportunists like James Woods and Ted Cruz trade on lies to promote other lies.

Los Angeles is not a war zone. The media keeps cropping the same damn photo to make it look like it is. There are plenty of live feeds going on right now that verify what is actually happening on the ground in real time. Nothing. The only unrest is coming from Trump & his thugs.

Trump is trying to manufacture a crisis in LA County — deploying troops not for order, but to create chaos. Don’t take the bait. Never use violence or harm law enforcement.

So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president. And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict. This should be the story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.

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.”

PRO PUBLICA: Of the 238 men sent to an El Salvador mega prison, only 6 had prior violent crime convictions. 0 were on the gang member list. 130 had no criminal history. 32 had minor offenses. All 238 thought they were being sent back to Venezuela. www.instagram.com/p/DKcjM7FPhz...

President Trump has granted clemency to 16 corrupt politicians, covering a total of 125 counts of corruption-related crimes and $7.4 million of ill-gotten gains or misused funds. His DOJ has also dropped charges into two others. This is unacceptable.

South Park residents of San Diego, California, confront Trump’s ICE agents after they stormed a local Italian restaurant to detain staff. This is how fascism is resisted. Courageous citizens standing their ground against regime thugs sent to intimidate them. More of this, America!

So Bessent is saying it’s OK to give whopping tax cuts to rich people like him and that this won’t increase the deficit because the tariffs they’re imposing-aka a tax on consumers-will make up the difference. Populism for the rich! Good job, Trump voters.

The focus groups appear to have consisted of hard-core Trump supporters, so the results are not surprising since that sector of the electorate is a cult of personality. Cult members are loyal to the cult leader isn’t really a story. Pieces like this unwittingly serve as demoralization propaganda.

Remember when “death panels” was a Republican talking point against expanding health insurance coverage with Obamacare? Now, cutting coverage and actually sending people to their death is a policy position of the Republican Party.
