The US, the UK, and China have all issued shelter in place warnings for their embassies in Qatar. DHS issued a national terrorism advisory for the US until September 22. I’m not sure I like the golden age

"[Troops] have told friends and family members they are deeply unhappy about the assignment and worry their only meaningful role will be as pawns in a political battle they do not want to join." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

What the frick is wrong with 38% of us?

"Liberate this city from socialists and burdensome leadership." If that's not regime change, I don't know what to tell you. The inflection point is now.

Indeed.

Sen. Luján on Sen. Padilla being manhandled and handcuffed at Noem’s press conference: “This is nonsense…The executive branch is doing this to our colleagues…Will someone here have the backbone to tell the president of the United States, ‘You crossed the line.’”

Sen. Alex Padilla, who was just forcibly removed from a DHS press conference, is the ranking member of Judiciary’s subcommittee on immigration, citizenship, and border safety, which has “oversight of federal agencies with citizenship, asylum, refugee, and immigration enforcement responsibilities.”

Nothing like Kristi Noem dismissing Padilla as “political theater.”

Rep. Tran: "Sen. Padilla was physically assaulted and arrested for attending Sec. Noem's press event...Would you have me forcibly removed from your press event if I walked in?" Hegseth: "I'm not going to speculate on a hypothetical." Rep. Tran: "I'll take that as a yes."

Sen. Murphy: “They say that he didn’t identify who he was. Watch the video, he clearly states, ‘I am Senator Alex Padilla.’ They’re going to spin this, but I’m begging my Republican colleagues, don’t let them do it.”

Oh my. 😂

America hero busts ICE trying to gain access to a home by lying to a little boy about being from the electric company

This is horrifying. Avelo Airlines should be ashamed. You can call Avelo customer service at (346) 616-9500.

These people are just wrong about literally everything.

BREAKING: Newark Mayor Ras Baraka has sued Alina Habba for malicious prosecution and false arrest.

Cowards.

🔥❤️💪🇺🇸

More cowards.

Cowards.

“The forces we are up against have made peace with mass death. They are treasonous to this world and its human and non-human inhabitants.” #Resist www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

GOP claimed that COVID contact tracing was “government overreach.” They said that background checks violated freedom. They wanted to ban data collection about gun violence. But now they have hired Palantir to track us all. This is the machinery of a surveillance state, run by billionaires.

👀

We dealt a blow to Tesla and that needs to continue, but it seems attention needs to be paid to PALANTIR and PETER THIEL. Aren't we tired of having our Constitution shredded by South African billionaires? PALANTIR TECHNOLOGIES 1200 17th ST. STE 15 DENVER, CO 720-358-3679

Who is Peter Thiel? Apparently he is very private and doesn’t like attention. We can change that can’t we? I mean, the dude wants to take over the world with his “network states” society. I’m not going to shut up about him and it’s time to expose his charade.

Texas police say they used Flock to search for a woman they believed had had a self-administered abortion for her "safety." I call bullshit. www.404media.co/a-texas-cop-...

The Dept. of Justice has filed its first voter suppression lawsuit aimed at disenfranchising voters. This is a critical juncture for democracy. Paige and I discuss the implications and how it echoes claims made by failed state Supreme Court candidate Jefferson Griffin. youtu.be/8XEW-Ga428M

RFK Jr. is "gunning for America's vaccines." He's canceling advisory meetings, claiming vaccines haven't been "safety tested", and stripping shots from the schedule. Read more from @eggerdc.bsky.social in Morning Shots: www.thebulwark.com/p/rfk-jrs-wa...

New, by me: Data broker giant LexisNexis has revealed that its risk solutions unit (think "know your customer," risk assessing, due diligence, and law enforcement assistance) was breached, affecting the personal data and Social Security numbers of at least 364,000 people.

Another day, another Pentagon scandal. 🙄 #FireHegseth #IncompetentSecDef

The Republican book bans have no purpose, aren’t grounded in fact. They are Republicans’ way of trying to control our lives. The Pentagon has returned almost all banned books to their library. Keep speaking out against these fascists and their bans #Voices4Victory

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil.

On immigration and foreign influence…

And this is a bad thing why?

Very dangerous, indeed. “Prosecuting a Member of Congress” open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Montana became the first state to pass the Fourth Amendment is Not For Sale Act, which requires the government to get a warrant before buying our data from data brokers. This is a huge win for our right to privacy and we're urging Congress to follow Montana's lead.

They will NEVER silence us on the House Floor. Or anyplace else.
