The Administration has arrested a judge in WI and a mayor in NJ, and is threatening to arrest federal lawmakers. In any other country we would say the strongman's security forces are locking up political opponents. We need to treat it exactly that way here. www.axios.com/2025/05/10/t...

If there is ever a time when the world needs sane, capable leadership from Washington, it is when India and Pakistan rattle their nuclear sabers at each other. One of those things is happening right now.

It’s called the Digital Equity Act. That word—“equity”—caught the White House’s attention. So now Trump is moving to nix funding—but it could cut off millions destined for red America.

This fanatic is openly talking about fabricating a reason to suspend everyone's constitutional right to due process — and Trump has given him free rein. Is there NO Republican in D.C. who will stand up to these constitutional arsonists?

Donald has never liked the WORK of being president. He's too lazy for that and lacks the attention and ability to read. Instead, he likes the pomp, flattery and opportunities to use the office to make money. In other words, he is useless to the American people, other than trolling for the MAGA half.

The MAGA argument for tariffs- "free money paid by foreigners!"- is a promise of something for nothing. And most human experience confirms that people who promise something for nothing are usually crooks.

Baraka was released last night after being held for three hours. The administration is lying about what happened. Baraka and congressional reps did not storm into the facility. DHS said that if the mayor had asked for a tour he would've gotten one. Lies. The city has been denied entry multiple times

The way we were treated at Delaney Hall is almost unbelievable. ICE shoved me, manhandled @repbonnie.bsky.social, and arrested Mayor Baraka. They disrespected us and tried to stop us from conducting the oversight we’re elected to do. But we’ll never back down in our fight for what is right.

Trump's crypto venture is fleecing his supporters. 80% of the new or small-time crypto investors in Trump’s coin have been hit with big losses. Meanwhile, his team is making millions off the coin’s trading fees, which stay stable even when its value goes down. It’s a grift.

Republicans imposed the burden of making the Postal Service PRE-FUND pensions for all employees 60+ years in the future so they will always report a loss. USPS takes no tax dollars. It's entirely self-funded through stamps. It's also A SERVICE for the PEOPLE. PROFIT isn't the point. Dipshits.

They have a right to oversight & that is their role in their districts. They can visit any federal prison or detention facility at any time with surprise visits. Many congressional reps have done this in the past. This is not unusual and our reps have a right as they represent We the People. #Resist

One key aspect of the immigration crackdown is that it’s seemingly based on lies. There wasn’t a “migrant crime wave,” Biden didn’t allow 20M undocumented into the country, etc. But has anybody published an accurate assessment of immigration under Biden? I found this: www.cato.org/commentary/b...

From the looks of this, there are four people on the Russian side of the table (including Putin). And there are just two on the American side — an interpreter of unknown provenance, and a golf buddy of Trump’s who has no training or experience in high-stakes diplomacy

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street
