This is the rare post that, IMO, is very constructive criticism of Dem messaging failure. Musk Hands Dems a Gift. They Promptly Chuck It. www.thebulwark.com/p/musk-hands...

Investigators believe the man may have been framed to get him arrested & deported before he could testify in a case where he was a victim of assault. The person who spoke to the AP did so on condition of anonymity, because they couldn't speak publicly. apnews.com/article/ice-...

Holy shit. www.wired.com/story/cbp-dn...

Trump just nominated Paul Ingrassia to run the Office of Special Counsel. Ingrassia is a former far-right podcast host and election denier who once shared an article calling for “martial law” to keep Donald Trump in office following his loss in the 2020 election. He's 29.

After the 2024 elections, I lost count of how many influential observers complained about Democrats and their implied “disdain” for parts of their own country. Republicans’ *overt* contempt for parts of their own country tends to generate less conversation.

The Trump administration has deported a 2-year-old American girl. Emanuelly Borges Santos was born in a Florida hospital in 2022. She has an American passport and a Social Security card. Nevertheless, she and her undocumented parents were packed onto a plane with 94 others and shipped to Brazil.

Charlie Kirk called Martin Luther King Jr. “a bad guy” and called anti-segregation legislation a mistake. Trump hosted him at the White House yesterday.

MUST WATCH: ICE kidnapped a disabled American citizen. Her name is Alma Bowman. Born in the Philippines while her dad served in the U.S. Navy. She’s lived here 48 years. They crashed her wheelchair, denied meds, cut her off from her lawyer—and jailed her. She. Is. A. Citizen.

I personally vouch for this. Am with relatives of this young man as I type this. He had to flee the Taliban; currently in Tajikistan, will soon have to move. Plan was to reunite him w/family here (MN) but our new restrictions won’t allow it. Pls help him get to safety in Turkey. gofund.me/01e24645

More corruption.

5 things Trump did this week: 1. Dined with a Proud Boys leader 2. Said he “doesn’t know” about upholding the Constitution 3. Announced he will reopen Alcatraz 4. Appointed Fox News host Jeanine Pirro as an interim U.S. Attorney 5. Kept the Epstein files safe another week

🔥 New reporting from Retail Brew reveals that The Home Depot has quietly scrubbed its website of diversity and inclusion references. Meanwhile over at Lowe's they’re reading the room on DEI. www.retailbrew.com/stories/2025...

Hey guys- White nationalists have helped a white woman in Minnesota raise $300k after she was filmed calling a five-year-old Black child the n-word. The local NAACP chapter is fundraising for the boy and his family to get legal help. The least we could do is out-fundraise the nazis. Donate here:

#MomSky A RESEARCH FACILITY within the US National Institutes of Health that is tasked with studying Ebola and other deadly infectious diseases has been instructed by the Trump administration’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to stop research activities. www.wired.com/story/hhs-ni....

White House cancels program which reduced sudden infant deaths

The largest investors in Donald Trump’s crypto coin have been promised a private audience with the president. The arrangement could put Trump at odds with the Constitution and add fuel to calls for his impeachment, experts say. www.wired.com/story/trumps...

BREAKING: This is unusual trading by a politician. Marjorie Taylor Greene bought Palantir, $PLTR, on April 8th. On April 17th, Palantir, $PLTR, was awarded a government contract with ICE to develop ImmigrationOs. Marjorie sits on the Homeland Security Committee. Palantir is up nearly 50% since.

Jeff Bezos is a decidedly unfit owner for the Washington Post if this is all it takes to get him to fold. Profile in non courage. www.cnbc.com/2025/04/29/w...

Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

WATCH: “We are American citizens. We were denied having our passports renewed at the 🇺🇸 embassy in Dakar (Senegal). This is absolutely asinine.” 🤔
