Truth from Terry Moran👍

Today, WH Border Czar Homan said California's Governor and LA Mayor Bass could be arrested if they interfered with ICE. This, after the arrest of a NJ Congresswoman & a Wisconsin Judge. This isn't what democracy is supposed to look like. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Judge in the lower federal courts are trying to play a role that are not used to, trying to wake up the public to what's going on, while remaining true to their constitutional role.

Important point here that I made earlier today on @velshimsnbc.bsky.social as well: Trump purports to nationalize the Guard with no geographic limits. Today it’s LA, tomorrow ???

18-year-old Marcelo Gomes da Silva, who was detained by ICE on his way to volleyball practice, was granted bond after a judge found he is not a danger to the community. The judge stated that he has no criminal record and is "as clean as a whistle." abcnews.go.com/US/marcelo-g...

Arresting a 17-year-old on his way to volleyball practice, here since age 5, or a Missouri mom of three at a routine check-in after 20 years in the U.S.—this isn't justice, it's cruelty. And, yes, ICE agents should be ashamed of themselves.

Walter White spitting facts:

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...

Troopers in Central Florida appear to have been given direction not to wear their name tags during ICE operations.

THESE are the tattoos we should be worried about… Valknut: historically Norse, used by some white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups.

The cruelty is the point.

Here we are.

Holy shit. www.wired.com/story/cbp-dn...

NEW: Everything wrong in America is because of the ultra-wealthy. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/its-the-ol...

This guy stole $10 million from the employees of his nursing home to buy himself a luxury yacht and Cartier watches. He PLED GUILTY. And because his Mom gave Trump $1 million, he just got a pardon. And this story barely makes the news today. WTF. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/u...

The “60 Minutes” correspondent never mentioned Trump by name, but his call to defend democratic institutions was apparently too much for the MAGA crowd to handle. https://trib.al/VTBQHgh

White House stunned as Hegseth inquiry brings up illegal wiretap claims. Trump advisers lose confidence in Pentagon leak investigation Hegseth used to justify firing three top aides. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Looking forward to your response, Ed!!

In 1968, when the middle class was at its strongest, the average CEO to worker pay ratio was 21:1. Today, it's 290:1 At some corporations, it's much worse - up to 10,000:1 Let's raise the top income tax rate Make union membership easier Enact tax penalties for high ratio companies

Parents in Texas are protecting their children despite cuts in federal funding for vaccines along with mixed messages on vaccine safety and efficacy from from US Dept. of HHS.

Another win for Democracy !!!

They said they wouldn’t cut Medicare they never mentioned holding a pillow over its face in the night while it slept

McGovern: We live in the richest country on Earth and not a single kid in this country should go to bed hungry, not a single damn one and especially when Republicans are giving millionaires and billionaires a big fat tax break.

The combined wealth of the 10 richest US billionaires increased by over $360 billion in the last year according to a new Oxfam report. Meanwhile, 60% of Americans don't earn enough to afford basic costs of living. Our nation's raging inequality is on full display.

House Republicans don’t want you to watch their 1:00 AM hearing to kick millions of Americans off their health insurance and rip away food and basic nutrition from millions of kids and seniors. Defy the billionaires and watch anyway:

Too late to call house members, but if the bill passes, call your senators!

Judge appointed in 1981 by Reagan.

The Supreme Court has only now begun to rein him in, but it may be too little too late.

There was a lot of news this week, so I waited until I could actually write what I wanted to write to tell you what I think about Judge Matt Kacsmaryk's ruling in State of Texas and The Heritage Foundation v. EEOC. www.lawdork.com/p/matt-kacsm...
