“family members identified the victim as Narciso Barranco, a father to three sons who are all U.S. Marines” ktla.com/news/local-n...

CARTOON OF THE DAY… 🇺🇸

Sad that we have to wait for independent third parties to confirm the success of such important strikes, but that’s where we are. No way for us to trust the President’s own characterization of the attack.

I guess the best use of active duty US Marines under the Trump admin is to stand around doing absolutely nothing in Los Angeles.

It's Taco Tuesday and Trump is chickening out on his chickening out. "On immigration, Trump has done a 180 three times...It’s complete whiplash, and it’s unclear how much Trump even knows what’s going on." open.substack.com/pub/signoril...

Hi everyone I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA over the last 48 hours because of my reporting on the Columbia student protests I arrived back in Melbourne hours ago and had my phone handed back to me upon landing

In the past week, a union leader has been arrested, a U.S. Rep charged with a crime, a U.S. Senator violently handcuffed, and reporters shot with rubber bullets and detained. There is no ambiguity. This is a regime operating as an authoritarian. Americans who believe in liberty must oppose it.

NEWSOM: "It's a vulgar display. It's the kind of thing you see with Kim Jong Un, Putin, dictators that are weak… How weak do you have to be to commandeer the military for your birthday?“

Rather than apologizing and trying to resolve a problem she helped create, Kristi Noem is now lying about what happened and making it worse. This is unacceptable behavior from a Cabinet official. Noem clearly does not have the credibility or integrity to continue serving.

Trump says courts have no authority over immigration, because, they say, immigration control is somehow foreign policy. "We should not have local judges determining foreign policy or national security policy for the country." But ,say I, U.S. troops on U.S. soil is by definition domestic policy.

I suppose all this tripe about Biden's age might be important to know, but it belongs on the History Channel. It's not news. You know what's news? The president deploying the military against US citizens. The Billionaire Bailout Bill. DOGE getting access to our private data. THAT is news.

Jordan is a complete waste of skin.

It's all going according to plan "Trump has kept a stockpile of prewritten executive orders—some drafted before his presidency—that he releases based on political headlines. His latest travel ban was planned long ago, like many of the 157 orders already signed this term." -Olga Lautman

18.4% of U.S. armed forces are Latino/Hispanic.

This is Taliban. It could be ICE.

The conditions that have led to what’s happening in the US today exist in democracies around the world. They are an inevitable outcome of our collective failure to adapt to fundamental changes in the information ecosystem on which our democracies were originally built.

Fucking cowards🖕

RFK Jr. is absolutely poisonous. He has now caused Dr. Lakshmi Panagiotakopoulos, the person in charge of COVID19 vaccinations at the CDC, to resign. She did so because RFK Jr. demanded that the experts in charge of vaccine guidance listen to him and not to the scientific evidence.

Privileged to use my platforms to amplify the brilliance of Dr @drannieandrews.com and her candidacy to the United States Senate. Youth, expertise, and a hunger to have real impact — super impressed with Dr Andrews and here to support my fellow Doc in her noble quest.

Gabbard wants to turn Trump's daily intel briefings into Fox News-type broadcasts because he “doesn’t read.” She wants to add animations and multimedia elements to Trump’s President’s Daily Briefs to hold his attention. Brilliant! The nation will be safer if she shows him cartoons.

Lindsay Graham has a problem. See video. bsky.app/profile/dran...

What a country we have become. We now have our very own Gestapo. bsky.app/profile/sall...

The brand destruction that will come to the university that lends its reputation to this will be massive. Stephen Miller University from that moment on.

Here’s something we can all do: every time we see something about the Trump administration’s attacks on science — and the impacts of those attacks — boost it. People, and even faculty, have no idea how bad it is and how much worse it’s going to get. We need to let people know…

Amazingly, we are still forced to listen to Republicans say with a straight face that cutting taxes for the wealthy will create such an explosion of economic growth that the tax cut will pay for itself. This is what they always say to justify upper-income tax cuts, and they’re always wrong.

Casar: "The only way to push back on this is for Democrats to be really clear that if we win back a majority, we aren't just going to let bygones be bygones. We have to go and investigate who paid Trump, who paid Musk, who made money off of these pardons because that is really serious."

Lutnick on Fox News tonight claimed Trump has "$10 trillion coming to build factories in America." (The entire GDP of the US is under $28 trillion, so this is as ridiculous of a lie as you'll ever hear)

Who made this?!

I can't wait to use Taco Don in a sentence.

Wife beaters are the same way "It’s a constant in Mr. Trump’s worldview: If he goes after someone or something, it is their fault, not his. They are to blame." - Maggie Haberman, NYT
