ICYMI — ICE DIRECTOR: “These are real people with real families you’re hurting.” He says this not about immigrants… but about ICE agents. A record-setting lack of self-awareness.

We're being conditioned to accept law enforcement in camo and body armor and helmets so that, when active-duty military is inevitably deployed domestically, we'll accept that as well.

What the fuck is the point of paying money to a police department if they won’t protect people from hostile masked kidnappers?

Deeply disturbing...

They’re not behaving as if they’re in a four-year term. They’re behaving as if they’re in an everlasting dictatorship. Are we all clear on this?

Bernie, you rascal! You’re spot on here.

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

ICE is the January 6 insurrectionists all over again. Only instead of attacking law enforcement, they are pretending to *be* law enforcement. And instead of just terrorizing at the Capitol, they are doing it EVERYWHERE.

Wow. What a sign that criminal case against Abrego Garcia may be politically cooked up. "Schrader’s resignation was prompted by concerns that the case was being pursued for political reasons" Schrader spent 15 years in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Nashville and was chief of the criminal division

The Incompetence Is Believable!

Funding for affordable housing is limited and we should carefully consider the wisdom of spending it on the frivolous amenities, bureaucratic complexity, and well-intentioned but expensive contracting requirements that drive per-unit costs north of $1 million. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

A billionaire who profits off the presidency is feuding with another billionaire who bought access to the government to line his own pockets. Neither should have ever been able to amass so much power. What we're witnessing is a failed experiment in billionaire governance.

I'm sorry, as much as I am enjoying this spat, how can you take seriously someone who spent 100s of millions of dollars electing Trump, then went to work for Trump, left government just days ago praising Trump, and is now calling for Trump's impeachment. Just unserious people.

"Everything AOC talks about is a masterclass in speaking to working Americans about 'bread and butter' issues – yet she is widely ignored or discounted by others, including her own party," writes @dennycarter.bsky.social for COURIER.

AOC: The girls are fighting aren’t they

"That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists — and that they both individually wield such massive power — is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy." - Robert Reich #TaxBillionaires

Believe Most Of Us Would Agree! That's Not What We Are Witnessing...

Remember: If unions didn’t matter, powerful corporations wouldn’t spend millions of dollars every year to stop workers from organizing. Keep up the fight.

The growing warfare between Trump and Musk? Glad it’s happening now. Too bad it didn’t happen sooner before the co-presidents inflicted so much damage.

Don't let these men and their pissing match distract from the fact Republicans are still trying to rip away healthcare and food from actual children.

Support Dr. Annie Andrews! Defeat Lindsay Graham.

It seemed kinda weird for these guys to come out and say this at the time. Now it makes more sense.

This is one of the powerful and devastating exchanges of this terrible Trump era. Bravo Rep. Madeline Dean!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm totally shocked that 2 corrosively selfish millionaire-at-birth narcissists both surrounded by yes men just couldn't get along and work together

Very good question.

MERZ: Tomorrow is the D Day anniversary, when the Americans ended a war in Europe TRUMP: That was not a pleasant day for you? This is not a great day MERZ: This was the liberation of my country from Nazi dictatorship
