we're gone from "90 deals in 90 days" to sending letters to other countries pleading with them to negotiate

The original TT post read “we were diverted going to Dallas to Nashville on Southwest for “gas-fill-up” WTAF! TSA has screened & can stop boarding like any military state country Night Vision in Broad daylight? Opening bags with passengers on board? They aren’t trained agents.

19 companies that have pulled support of Pride parades, in whole or in part, this year: Lowe's Dyson Nivea Tiffany & Co. Toyota Capital One UPS Disney DoorDash Live Nation Anheuser-Busch Diageo PepsiCo Nissan PricewaterhouseCoopers Citi Mastercard Booz Allen Hamilton Deloitte

😡😡😡😡

Trump has asked Congressional Republicans to entirely eliminate this pot of funding that among its activities combats human trafficking. This sets up a special process that's filibuster-proof in the Senate, meaning it can be enacted even with all Dems in opposition.

wt actual F. looks like a commando raid during the occupation of Iraq

I hate when news organizations use phrases like, "his complicated history when it comes to minorities," instead of just saying, "his lifetime of being a belligerently bigoted bunghole."

Jonathan Joss murder is not ruled a hate crime by San Antonio police. Take note that the FBI nor has DOJ stepped in to investigate civil rights violations or hate crime. Burning a Tesla causing no injury is cause for DOJ to step in. No justice in Trump's America www.fox7austin.com/news/jonatha...

PRO PUBLICA: Of the 238 men sent to an El Salvador mega prison, only 6 had prior violent crime convictions. 0 were on the gang member list. 130 had no criminal history. 32 had minor offenses. All 238 thought they were being sent back to Venezuela. www.instagram.com/p/DKcjM7FPhz...

Trump’s war on NPR and PBS reeks of petty vengeance, slashing $1.1B while the national debt yawns at $36T. A billionaire’s vendetta against Big Bird? Now that’s a tragicomedy worthy of defunding reality itself. #3E

Wake Forest's coach got caught on camera calling a Tennessee player the f-slur

“Y’all, we did it — Tulsa just created a $105 million reparations plan for the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre.” (From @thebwstimes.bsky.social )

The U.S. government is breaking up families without an ounce of compassion. ICE is detaining migrants at court—asking judges to dismiss cases so they can arrest people as they leave & shove them into fast-track deportation. Word’s out: Show up, risk deportation. Stay home, lose your case.

Merkley to McMahon: "I strongly encourage you to understand how the changes you're making are hurting ordinary kids across this country ... if you'd take the very effort to read the evaluation of the TRIO programs, you wouldn't be here making that argument today."

Murray: Those funds were appropriated by congress and your department was to allocate them and it looks like the department is illegally impounding funding…

Remember when this pic of Elián González was a national scandal instead of a daily occurrence?

Mullin: What were we ranked nationally in math and reading in 1979? McMahon: We were very low on the totem pole. Mullin: We were number one in 1979

BREAKING: Federal judge orders that hormone therapy and social accommodations be maintained for transgender people in federal prisons, blocking Trump admin policies. Judge Royce Lamberth, a Reagan appointee, granted class certification and prelim. injunction in a lawsuit challenging the policies.

Correct. Spending $45 million on a birthday party for the President, while the administration says we can’t afford Medicaid, shows just how bankrupt their priorities really are.

The Department of Homeland Security is NOT making our country safer. They're ignoring immigration laws. They're handcuffing moms, zip tying children and disappearing them without hearings or due process. They're weaponizing DHS to purge people from the population. They're hiding their faces.⬇️

Raise your hand if you’re not even a meteorologist and you still know there’s a hurricane season.

#ProudBlue #Voices4Victory Sneaky bastards! The GOP hide a provision that makes it more expensive to seek legal action against trump’s policies. Autocrats do this. Consolidate power, increase the penalty for objecting, making it impossible to challenge them. www.alternet.org/trump-execut...

ICE is conveniently leaving out key details in their press conference. Marcelo Gomes’ father came here legally on a student visa in 2012. Marcelo was only 5. They’ve been trying to gain legal status. His dad was accused of speeding. Marcelo was detained by ICE on his way to volleyball practice.

Cuts have consequences, illustrated. As seen on TV 📺

Going on two months since SCOTUS ordered Abrego Garcia be returned home. Is this "swift justice" ? SCOTUS do your job.

This statement from Jonathan Joss's husband is heart breaking. No, headline writers, he wasn't "killed in an argument with a neighbor." He was *deliberately murdered* for being gay right after his dog was decapitated. Bet the murderer calls himself a "Christian." THIS is why Pride is important.

Another generation of youth steps up to help make life better, let's hope they succeed where past generations haven't .

What happened? Did the coloring books get too hard?

Good day to read about Trump’s withdrawal, 7 years ago, from Obama’s Iran deal. The deal would otherwise still be in effect, and scheduled to last another 5 years. Now, Trump is effectively resurrecting it, after having spent a decade trashing it. The Art of the Deal. www.nytimes.com/2018/05/08/w...

The new top voting lawyer at the Department of Justice was until recently an attorney and activist for a leading anti-voting legal group that has worked for years to spread fear about illegal voting and press election officials to tighten voting rules 👇

This is how Republicans will rig elections.

It’s incredible that he does this as Mike Johnson is out there accusing recipients of widespread fraud.

Phang: These “radical left” judges? These are judges that you had a hand in appointing—or they were appointed under Republican administrations. So how very convenient that when you don’t get your way, suddenly these are all radical left judges. He is just an intellectually lazy asshole.

This is what happens when you put a person into a position that they are unqualified for.

I wrote about the 23-year-old crypto bro with effectively no relevant work experience, who @alondra.bsky.social revealed is sitting in meetings, not paying attention, and then giving the thumbs up/thumbs down on whether they can get their NSF grants...

President Obama warns Republicans are quietly coming after the ACA again. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Has JD Vance said "Thank You" yet? #ukrainehascards

Imagine what this woman and her family went through. All for what?

For Handmaid’s Tale fans.

Why aren’t Dems on everything talking about the Joni Ernst “you can die” bill?

A brutal 2–1 decision from the 5th Circuit forcing the removal of a young girl to Venezuela even though she has lived in Texas for years and it is the only home she can remember. The dissent verges on incandescence in its fury and despondency. Incredibly bleak. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

For all the “Russia participates in the START treaty which is why the bombers we’re in the open” level of cope out there: No they don’t. They suspended their participation in 2023. They just thought the bombers we’re safe

Flood the line.
