Mic drop.

RFK JR: We have not cut any clinical trials on Alzheimer's BARRAGAN: There was 35 and you guys have already cut 13 of them because of the funding. This was congressionally approved dollars on a bipartisan basis.

Phang: Vance Boelter received better treatment when taken into custody than Narciso Barranco—a Mexican immigrant working at IHOP, landscaping in the parking lot under the hot sun on a Saturday—who was beaten by Border Patrol agents.

Tim Caine has a bill banning more military action in Iran. He also needs one for Greenland -- and Panama -- and Canada -- and every other country!

the thing about emil bove is he also looks like a sniveling toady

UPDATE: “The man who impersonated ICE to intimidate the employees of a Philly auto repair center — and steal about $1,000 — will face numerous felony and misdemeanor charges…”: www.phillyvoice.com/philly-robbe... Fake ICE agents were inevitable. How can cities be proactive about this?

The Bove allegations should be treated as something akin to Watergate, or Iran Contra. The administration was attempting to do something they *knew* was illegal (anticipating the courts saying as much), and then trying to COVER IT UP. Only here instead of it being run out of the WH or NSC, it’s DOJ

It’s a great morning to not rank Cuomo

AOC from the top rope 🔥….grandpa is gonna love that last part

I thought I saw an Iranian sleeper cell in masks, camo and assault rifles kidnap people from a job site and thrown them into a van, then I realized it was ICE.

I'm still not over yesterday's obscene SCOTUS decision that our government can deport people to prisons in countries they're not from. How is anyone walking around going about their day?

Ruiz: Why did the report include citations that don’t exist? RFK JR: All of the foundational assertions in that report are accurate Ruiz: How can they be accurate if they did not exist?

DEAN: Do you have any concerns about your conflicts of interest and the president's? BONDI: What I would be concerned about in Pennsylvania is all the child sex cases DEAN: Did you hear my question?

3.75 million children would have qualified!!😡 www.sacurrent.com/news/texas-g...

Wallace: My guests on this week's episode of The Best People are amazing. I spoke to the real life brothers behind the digital news Goliath, MeidasTouch..

I’m in contact with the Minnesota National Guard regarding tensions in the Middle East. We have several troops performing a federal mission in the region. They are trained, ready, and focused on their mission. We’ll continue to track their deployment and keep them in our prayers.

Today marks the third anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. What's happened since? A record number of women have been prosecuted. Pregnancy loss is now considered extremely suspicious, even when it has nothing to do with abortion.

the progression of posts is really something else

I can’t speak for every city, but here in LA, ICE bounty hunters aren’t going after gang members. They’re hunting the vulnerable: gardeners, street vendors, day laborers. Easy money, no risk. Folks need to stop pretending this is about crime. @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social—thank you for your words.

We the people have spoken. Congress must do their job and represent the will of the nation. Say NO to “King” Donakd!

I have not noticed this phenomenon.

I know this is going to surprise everyone but President Big Mac and his legion of incompetent brown shirts did not, in fact, manage to secure a viable ceasefire. Let's hear it for the pathetic "we demand a Nobel Peace Prize" idiots on cable news.

Brownshirt ICE rolled up to my local Home Depot today and got the F-off treatment. Shoutout to this woman because this is exactly how it’s done. No badge, face covered = F*ck all the way off. 📌 It’s on us citizens to stand up for our vulnerable brothers and sisters.

Well, gosh, whoda thunk

Touché.

Jeffries: "Not a scintilla of evidence to date has been presented that I have seen to justify the notion that there was an imminent threat to the United States of America. If the administration has evidence to the contrary, come up to present it."

Truth

“family members identified the victim as Narciso Barranco, a father to three sons who are all U.S. Marines” ktla.com/news/local-n...

The fact that our military was perfectly happy to use weapons abroad in violation of the War Powers Act doesn't bode well for us when they are asked to use weapons at home in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act.

Wow so you’re telling me everyone who cheered on the Iraq war is on board with this now too? And so are the people who opposed the Iran nuclear deal and killed it? You’re kidding.

NEW: The DHS has issued a heightened terror threat for Americans. Good thing we have that 22 year old former gardener in charge of counterterrorism and DHS is busy with mass deportation. www.dhs.gov/ntas/advisor...

WATCH: “This is f*cking kidnapping! That’s not your badge… I do have a little bit of education… get the f*ck out of here, racial profiling is illegal…” A brave woman melts ice 🧊 💪🏽 www.instagram.com/reel/DLOWbEs...

Come on, people. Have you no decency? Whose idea was it to glitter bomb ICE? ☠️ 😂

Congress didn’t just lose its power it gave it away. On war, trade, and policy, lawmakers have willingly let the executive branch rule unchecked.

Welp.

If Democrats truly want to appeal to young men, they should probably start presenting themselves as the party that definitively *won’t* draft you into an illegal war.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

Marco looks like he has that pre-diarrhea feeling.

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore. Make it make sense.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."  -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

Very Cool 😎

Schiff: "It's not an operation that should've ever been authorized by the president in the absence of intelligence showing that Iran had made the decision to break out and build a bomb."

The United States never has enough money to keep people alive at home but always has enough money to kill people overseas.

Speaker Emerita Pelosi: "The President ignored the Constitution by unilaterally engaging our military without Congressional authorization. I join my colleagues in demanding answers from the Administration on this operation which endangers American lives and risks further escalation."

My daughter, drawing: “this is a pirate” Me: “oh does he have a sword?” Daughter: “*HE*?!?!?!?!?” Kid is learning early how to call out my implicit biases, good for her!

Schiff: "The failure to brief Dem lawmakers, the making this just another partisan exercise by the administration when it comes to something as serious as the decision to potentially engage in warfare, it means that you're not gonna have the whole country bought into this, which is a real problem"
