Just got word that Secretary Noem is asking for an addition to her budget - a new private Gulfstream 5 jet for her personal national photo op tour. She's already got a private plane but wants a tricked out new one. All while she supports kicking 13 million people off Medicaid.

"In my home, the America I love, the America I’ve written about, that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration." — Bruce Springsteen

Stand up to defend social security. Time is now.

It’s odd that work requirements for benefits was supported by the laziest president in history.

The little ink drop was crying, because his mother was in the pen and he didn't know how long the sentence would be. Thank you very much. I'll leave quietly.

And all he got in return was ALL OF OUR DATA! (And probably more stuff we don’t know about).

Taxation without representation? Citizens pay w/o benefit. Only billionaires profit? WTH

This is what an authoritarian regime would do. Hidden deep in Trump’s 1,100-page bill that passed the House today is a provision that would block federal courts from enforcing contempt charges against government officials who violate court orders.

Woo hoo!

WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT is unironically one of the best popular narratives about the way privatization of public services destroys local community

I wish more people understood this.

Pretty wild to make your entire case about how immigrants are lawless freeloaders, but having to go to their workplaces and court hearings to arrest them.

Chris Murphy on Joni Ernst: "I think everybody in that audience knows they're going to die, they would just rather die in old age at 85 or 90 instead of dying at 40. And the reality is that when you lose your healthcare, you are much more at risk of early death."

Three children. Ages 9 to 12. Zip tied at immigration court. Their cases had just been dismissed. They should no longer have been subjected to deportation proceedings. Instead, ICE zip-tied them. This is not law enforcement. This is cruelty by design. Please watch, share, and don’t look away.

I finally read Wild Faith earlier this week, and I can't recommend it enough. So many details I was vaguely aware of, but to see it all laid out and connected to exactly what's happening now is immensely powerful. It puts it all into much-needed context.

The agent who handcuffed a congressional aide is William Krejci of Keasbey, New Jersey, DHS Area Commander. His social media is locked down pretty tight but a Yelp account tied to the same email address he used for LinkedIn shows a face and forearm tattoo that matches the video.

The movie (documentary on K Street folks), The Family, shows where the Repubs get the idea that they are the only ones who matter. They truly believe it is true.

Eliminating money for Narcan which actually saves lives and giving it to this scam artist who will have cops spraying latex on the unhoused

if you've ever wondered why -the administration keeps passing laws abusive to children -generations of christians have embraced authoritarians so fulsomely -US policy towards Israel is so weird -and more, look no further than MY BOOK bookshop.org/p/books/wild...

(Reuters) - Staff of the Federal Emergency Management Agency were left baffled on Monday after the head of the U.S. disaster agency said during a briefing that he had not been aware the country has a hurricane season, according to four people familiar with the situation.

go.bsky.app/Np5iqRF Women are leading the fight. A pediatrician is running against Lindsey Graham. She is a strong candidate. Many young women are fighting back. The cruelty of the administration. Annie Andrews is the candidate if you want to support, follow and take action.

The fallout from Trump’s punitive tariffs hit Wall Street first. Now it’s Main Street’s turn, as dramatically higher import costs start to ripple through the broader economy. ugh

In a fiery speech, Taco Trump urged Americans to "live lean, mean, and super patriotic!" Forget lavish spending-Trump says, "We're all tightening our belts to Make America Great Again!"

Love it 💙😎

It’s the last month for this SCOTUS term, so I put together a little cheat sheet to help you understand the context & significance as the Court announces decisions. With more than 30 left to go, they’ll start coming fast & furious as we get into the month. joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-a...

🚨BREAKING: Leader Schumer promises to "fight tooth and nail to strike" provision in GOP budget bill making it harder for judges to hold Trump administration in contempt of court. "Republican’s naked subservience to a lawless President is gravely dangerous and Senate Democrats won’t stand for it."

they're Criminals Caught on camera they raided a food truck because they thought the people were in the country illegally.

SERIOUS QUESTION: What is going on with all these “officers” in tactical gear for a routine traffic stop—with no clear identification? They seem like imposters. And what’s up with that ball cap?
