I needed this…🤣

A huge blow was dealt to hurricane forecasters this week as a critical tool was abruptly terminated by the Department of Defense and NOAA. The immediate discontinuation of data from three weather satellites will severely impact hurricane forecasts this season and beyond. More ⬇️

Congresswoman (D-Illinois) reports Kristi Noem will face charges for crimes being committed against people by offenders in masks. She asks us to continue recording what we see.

How's it even possible that the Norwegian Nobel Committee would consider giving a PEACE prize to a man who incited a riot in which 140 police officers are wounded; two who took their own lives, not to mention his racist bigotry which has sparked hate crimes, and inhumane treatment of immigrants... 😌

The reports coming out of ICE field offices are deeply concerning. So is the fact that ICE is trying to keep those horrific conditions hidden from the American people. We’re sounding the alarm. ICE’s abuse of power has to end.

A 6 year-old. With leukemia. Grabbed at Immigration Court. Who has since missed medical appointments. And who wet himself when an ICE agent showed him the gun in his waistband...and wasn't offered a change of clothes for hours. Monstrous. www.tpr.org/border-immig...

First they came for abortion. 
Now it’s birth control, cancer screenings, prenatal care. The Supreme Court just ruled states can block Medicaid patients from getting care at Planned Parenthood. (1/2)

Do they really think they can scare us with the word “socialist” when they are literally sending out men in masks with no warrants and no badges to disappear people off American streets? I know what I’m scared of, and it’s not a socialist.

LICCARDO: Capital One contributed $1 million to Trump's inauguration. And what happened as a result to the CFPB case? HARPER: They got their case dismissed LICCARDO: We're watching the defunding of the financial police happening

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

This won’t succeed but it is not normal. This is very dangerous. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

MERKLEY: How do you feel about being responsible for hundreds of thousands of kids dying because of your sudden interruption in these key programs? VOUGHT: I reject the assertion MERKLEY: I find your response both ignorant & callous. Few Americans have had a more devastating & disastrous impact

So lovely to hear the truth!

History does not repeat itself, but it often rhymes. – Mark Twain This is pretty damn close to history repeating itself, though!

Not too late to get down here for the 2:30 hearing. Good crowd gathered.

“I promise you, it would have been a war crime.” that’s what Alejandro Barranco told me what would have happened if he treated a detainee when he was deployed to Afghanistan with the Marines like federal agents treated his father.

HOMEGROWN VIGILANTES HOMEGROWN WHITE NATIONALISTS NATZIS PRETENDING TO BE ICE!

Shameful. I expect they will be sued.👇 "Nearly 100,000 North Carolina voters will be required to take an additional step to verify their identity or risk being disenfranchised under a plan approved by the GOP-controlled state board of elections Tuesday." www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

MUST SEE: Congresswoman Schrier nails conspiracy theorist and unfortunate HHS Secretary, RFK Jr., on the value of vaccines—and it’s glorious. Schrier also happens to be the first pediatrician in Congress.

@NewJerseyOAG & a coalition of 21 AGs are fighting back against Trump's threats to withhold federal funding from states that won’t fall in line This isn’t democracy; it’s coercion Proud our AGs are on the frontlines fighting back against the lawlessness www.njoag.gov/attorney-gen...

Dying over here!😂🤣😂🤣

This will be a critical week for democracy in court. I founded Democracy Docket for times like this. It doesn't pull punches or engage in false equivalency. It's fiercely independent and always pro-democracy. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

Mamdani's lead in tonight's NYC mayoral primary portends what will likely be an historic triumph of the party’s left wing in the biggest city in the United States, for one of the highest-profile jobs in American politics. More on the national implications of a Mamdani victory👇

The Pentagon has launched a criminal investigation into the leak of a classified Defense Intelligence Agency report assessing that damage to Iranian nuclear facilities from US airstrikes didn’t significantly set back Tehran’s nuclear program. #NATOsummit #POLITICOnato

OMG!

Bondi tried and failed miserably to avoid answering a critically important question by Rosa DeLauro (a star in the House). Well done, @delauro.house.gov youtu.be/8ZOsyZgIaxU?...

“You know we have a world, right?”

Another reason ‘masked’ federal agents is a bad idea: Anyone can buy ICE uniforms on Amazon and carry weapons even TERRORISTS Imagine a masked terrorist dressed as ICE and fully armed going into a school or a shopping mall Yeah, it’s a terrible idea for Fed agents to be masked

Amazing how the one person that avoided the military has no compunction with putting others in harms way.

NEW: Trump’s FBI is yanking agents off immigration cases to deal with the counterterrorism threats. Thousands being reassigned—because the terrorism threat repercussions resulting from the Iran airstrikes weren’t thought through, and now they’re bracing for impact.

RUIZ: Did you read the report & fact-check its sources prior to publication? RFK JR: I did not fact check RUIZ: It included citations to sources that don't exist. How does that happen? RFK JR: All of the foundational assertions are accurate RUIZ: They did not exist. How can they be accurate?

"I get that he's the president, he's the commander in chief, he's the only one we have, but I'm uneasy broadcasting his tweets and his comments on a newscast, because I don't know if he knows what he's talking about." @nicollewallace.bsky.social joins @timmiller.bsky.social:

Followwww the money!

The KKK never died…

🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

DHS wants 72 hours notice before inspections of detention facilities. Kind of defeats the purpose, doesn't it?

Every time I post about ICE tactics, I get replies, “This is what I voted for.” Really? You voted for a mother crying for mercy while her child is still in school—about to come out and find her missing? There isn’t another way to go about this that preserves our humanity?

ICE looking more and more like the American Gestpo.

Too bad, so sad…

🤣

Yep…

Gym Jordan…

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

In a one-page order, the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday denied Trump's request to invoke the Westfall Act and have Justice lawyers argue in his appeal of E. Jean Carroll's defamation case, which would have forced taxpayers to foot the bill. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
