They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

It's wild that every single person new to our federal government in this calendar year is the worst possible person to be doing whatever their job is. That's not discussed nearly as much as it should be, but it's just an administration of planned incompetence and destruction.

On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.

Moulton: I have heard that a lot of officers are considering resigning their commissions because they question whether this is constitutional—whether they’re violating their oath to protect and defend the Constitution, not the president, by carrying out these orders. These are active discussions

Enten: How many people watched Gavin Newsom's speech on just YouTube alone? Over 3 million folks. Joe Rogan, his average podcast episode over the last month has averaged only 1.6 million YouTube views, so Newsom's speech.. very, very popular.

I wonder what the odds are that hundreds of additional Ukrainian “Trojan Horse” drones remain hidden in trucks across Russia, just waiting to be launched at additional targets over the coming days. Best of all — there’s very little Putin can do to prevent it!

Full transparency: my mental health was only healed bc I somehow ended up in England for nearly 3 years and got the free healthcare I needed to become a better member of society. The NHS UK saved my life and is why I’m here. Imagine how many Californians would be more stable thru health services.

Pope Leo to 11 new priests: “Consecrate yourselves to the people, without separating, isolating, or turning the gift you’ve received into a privilege. Pope Francis often warned us about this, because self-centeredness extinguishes the fire of the missionary spirit.”

Crockett: They have nothing to show for it except for those top earners being able to have their next trophy wife or buy their next yacht, or get their next plane, that doesn't work for me. And that obviously does not work for my constituents.
