When your massive ego gets you to announce something a more careful person would have kept quiet.

Musk now endorsing the impeachment and removal of Trump.

He did something. He elevated him to president.

"We are all going to die," is the GOP platform.

Ukraine just showed the world how effective an attack can be if you don’t use Signal.

Word is that Andrew Cuomo was denied more than 600K in public matching funds because regulators are investigating whether his campaign improperly coordinated with …… a MAGA BACKED PAC!!! Holy shitballs!! Talk about Dem in name ONLY! What Dem would YOU vote for who got his money from MAGA?!

1,000 people gathered Saturday at Santa Cruz Main Beach dressed in bright rainbow colors to form a human banner spelling out “Resist!” The event protests the actions of the Trump administration and stands in solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community as Santa Cruz celebrates Pride's 50th anniversary.

Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, Donald Trump is publicly supporting a conspiracy theory that Joe Biden was actually killed in 2020 and replaced by a robot clone. Just a heads up in case you know of anyone who might be interested in investigating the cognitive deterioration of the commander-in-chief.

Seems like a good time to remind folks of this.

The DOD is shifting $1 billion meant for maintaining and renovating old barracks to build a 57-mile fence at the southern border, saying the funds were freed up after some service branches fell short of their recruiting goals. Because nothing helps to recruit new troops like substandard housing.

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.

Trump had an Oval Office meltdown over Wall Street’s new acronym for his tariffs: TACO Trade, which stands for “Trump Always Chickens Out.” #TACO

Let's make this happen

Immigration court arrests continued across the nation yesterday (and are likely ongoing today). Yesterday, in NYC, 30 ICE officers swarmed the immigration court, holding lists of names of people to arrest. All were dutifully attending their immigration hearings and many had pending asylum claims.

Update: reports today that multiple legal observers were arrested today in New York at two separate immigration courts, for allegedly “obstructing” ICE. Not only that, apparently some immigration courts are barring the public from attending hearings. This mess is escalating fast.

The feds are asking judges in migrant cases to dismiss the case, which makes them undocumented — then ICE takes them into custody as part of an expedited removal of undocumented immigrants. @democrats.senate.gov — hold hearings. We demand answers. ☎️ Call your Representatives NOW: (202) 224-3121
