Wild how the Fed chair saying that *entire regions of the United States* won’t be able to get a mortgage in the next decade barely registered as a news event

Has a president ever called the entire US population lazy f*cks because they have too many holidays?

It’s time

Robert May has taken the GOP’s ‘family values’ initiative in a very dark direction.

Donald Trump’s Favorite Lie: ‘Two Weeks’ — 7 Years of Promises, Still Waiting

ICE agents concealing their faces: Can they really do that?

Hillary is Always Right !!!

Congress gave themselves a raise. Then told America it couldn’t afford insulin. They’ll fund oil subsidies and war machines… but not your grandmother’s wheelchair. #DontKillOurMedicaid

Constituents in Louisiana are questioning Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA) , who is also a doctor, after voting to confirm Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services, according to a report from Notus.

“He could lead. But let’s be honest—he won’t….This isn’t a man of principle or vision. It’s a man who stares at the polls, stokes division, and then hides behind his own followers when things get hard.” adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/trumps-mag...

Nothing is off the table for this regime. Armed and masked men are kidnapping people off American streets. We are living in a lawless and scary country.

LA RESIDENT: “The cruelty is staggering. People are hiding in their homes from the federal government like Anne Frank. If you’re a Christian and you’re still supporting this you’ve lost your mind. You’re not gonna get a job because of what they’re doing. Absolute brutality.”

We have armed, masked, unidentified men causing violence on our streets, but apparently they're the ones we're meant to trust with our safety. Catch the full episode here:

RFK Jr. is going to kill thousands of people. That’s not hyperbole.

Goddamn brown shirts 🤬

When I was 17 I watched a lot of Fox News. Protested in favor of the Iraq War. Enthusiastically enlisted. Deployed. Realized most adults in my life had lied to me As consensus turned against the war, I thought: well, they were lied to also. They didn't know. They've learned They have not learned

Members of Congress are being denied access to an ICE facility in Manhattan, because the conditions inside are that bad.

Drumpf picked Gabbert because (amazingly) he appears to be right: the JCPOA wasn't necessary. Iran wouldn't make nukes. Now TACO is wavering. He may pull a 'Bush' and bomb Iran based on nothing much more than Gabbert is a woman he can push around and Netanyahu is a male dictator he admires.

Senator Padilla makes an excellent point: if the FBI and Secret Service were willing to physically remove a Senator they had just escorted into the room, force him down on the floor and cuff him because he tried to ask a question What do you think they & ICE do to regular people?

TRUMP HATES CHRISTMAS!!

#GVerse #PayAttention - If you are concerned that you may be illegally abducted and then tortured in a prison in El Salvador… DO NOT attend the FIFA World Cup.

Masked faces No badges No apparel identifying them as ICE No warrants signed by a judge Those aren't ICE agents. They are bounty hunters kidnapping people off the streets.

In 2022, inspectors described a “cascade of failure” at one foreign factory. The FDA barred it from shipping drugs to the U.S. — then excused more than 20 drugs from the ban, despite risks to consumers.

Dr. Annie Andrews—pediatrician, mom of 3, and fearless advocate—is taking on Lindsey Graham. From ER rooms to the campaign trail, she’s fighting for kids, healthcare, and real leadership—not career politicians. #SCsenate #AnnieForSC ‪@drannieandrews.com youtu.be/Fi7SSt-lZJc?...

For 19-year-old Emerson Colindres, it was supposed to be a routine check-in with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. It turned out to be a trap. He never returned home. nbcnews.to/40d0yr6

The Supreme Court is set to issue opinions in the 16 remaining cases it heard this term, including: ⚖️Birthright Citizenship/Nationwide Injunctions. ⚖️Louisiana Redistricting. I founded Democracy Docket in 2020 to keep you informed. Sign-up now for free. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

We don't want to stop at one General Strike U.S. chapter per state. We need people organizing in every town, city, and neighborhood to make the strike a reality, and building the necessary local coalitions to truly support strikers. Want to start a GSUS chapter? Learn how 🧵

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

i watched JAWS last night for the first time in a while and with someone who had never seen it. it’s a bit longer than it needs to be, imo, but the movie remains basically flawless. just one banger scene after another. also i forgot just how hitchcock-pilled it is. it often feels like THE BIRDS

ICE's increasingly aggressive tactics are unacceptable and dangerous. They do not make us any safer. I’m calling for an independent investigation right now — this abuse of power must end.

Saying there are “too many non-working holidays” on Juneteenth is so on brand for a man who is actively trying to erase Black history. This from the same man who’s wasted over $26 million in taxpayer dollars and spent more than 30 days golfing since January 20, 2025? Please.

While we wait for the Supreme Court to rule in a critical redistricting case from Louisiana, this is what the GOP is up to in Texas and Ohio. Remember the GOP's plan is to make it harder for you to vote and easier for them to cheat.

Someone needs to tell RFK Jr. that he can skip the midday tanning salon appointments and instead concentrate on reading some real medical facts. His face already looks like a discarded catcher's mitt.

Anyone else watch @jimmykimmellive.bsky.social at the end of the day? He knows & he'll make you laugh as you learn! For example: It's always 2 weeks w/tRump, and tRump's been in office 150 days & has golfed 37 days!! 😡 He asked White people about Juneteenth... Too funny!!! 😂🤣 youtu.be/_oIgr-fCWlg

If nothing else about morality and law and basic human decency gets to them, you'd think at least some ICE agents would grasp they're being ordered to act in a way deliberately calculated to get one of them killed because that's what the administration wants.

A friend in suburban San Diego woke up at 5:45 AM to flash bombs and masked armed men claiming to be from the government breaking into homes on street and disappearing people into vans. This is real and happening in America right now. This is Germany circa 1935. Don’t look away people

“ideological flexibility” Fuck off, @nytimes.com
