An immigrant who has committed a crime can be prosecuted and removed, says the @aclu.org‬’s Lee Gelernt, but “It does not mean they can be subjected to a potentially lifetime sentence in a foreign gulag.” With @texastribune.org‬, @cazadoresdefakenews.info‬ & Alianza Rebelde Investiga

I mean, if you had a serious, important job and you made a mistake like this, you'd probably get fired...

Imagine being more concerned about people being too compassionate than about people being too cruel.

If you want something a bit more heartwarming, read this thread.

Economists warn that by increasing the U.S. national debt during a period of relative economic strength, the government is running the risk that the tipping point will come at the worst possible moment.

President Trump has long amplified debunked or baseless theories. On Saturday, he shared a conspiracy theory on social media that falsely claimed former President Biden had been executed and replaced by a robot. It was the latest outlandish claim he has promoted online to millions of followers.

The reality that masked men without proper identification are confronting and arresting and taking away people should be intolerable to anyone who calls themselves American.

Hidden in the Republican budget bill: a provision to do away with all oversight on AI systems with rent fixing algorithms. If your rent starts to go up, Republicans are to blame.

We are like six months from them outlawing seatbelts.

President Donald Trump has signed full pardons for imprisoned reality show couple Todd and Julie Chrisley, who were sentenced to lengthy prison terms in 2022 for a conspiracy to defraud banks out of more than $30 million, according to a White House official. Read more: cnn.it/45rCXX8

Brazen, open corruption. Presidency for sale. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/u...

President Donald Trump announced he is granting a “full and unconditional pardon” to a former Virginia sheriff, Scott Jenkins, who was convicted of conspiracy, honest services fraud and bribery.

On Memorial Day, we remember the sacrifices that our men and women in uniform and their families have made to preserve our freedom. May we always strive to honor the strength and resolve they’ve shown our country.

Ever since “Russia if you’re listening” corruption and criming out in the open is still corruption and criming

This Memorial Day weekend, the best way to honor the soldiers who gave the ultimate sacrifice is to honor and protect the freedoms and the democracy they died for.

I love how Rs are always given the free pass to 'not be informed' about what their own party is doing or the President is doing because they've been saying 'I haven't seen it' for 10 years now and that's good enough. Tweets, pressers, statements. They always look away for some reason and that's OK.

Back before the Internet, we thought the reason for human stupidity was the lack of information options. I’ll put it this way: That wasn’t it.

Of course it was... 🤦🏻

You're seeing America kamikaze itself into a brick wall. It didn't have to be this way. But greed and racism, our two sins, will be our downfall. Too many people still with their hands in the sand.

“If this was done by another country, we absolutely would call this corruption,” said Kristofer Harrison, who served as a high-level State Department official in the George W. Bush administration. “Because it is corruption.”

It’s hardly surprising that the same people who were fine with older Americans dying from Covid have no issues with cutting Medicare.

Seeing infrared: scientists create contact lenses that grant ‘super-vision’

If the GOP Tax Scheme is so beautiful, then why are they voting on it in the wee hours of the morning? Maybe because it’s irredeemably ugly and cruel.

Unthinkable evil.

Do you ever think about the great things America could do if we focused our energy on common good rather than corporate greed?

Hilarious on several levels. #GriftersGonnaGrift

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

Ends up when old people borrow trillions from young people, with no intention of paying it back, everything gets more expensive. www.wsj.com/economy/cent...

Reminder: the Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen posts are just to distract from the Qatari "gift" or the fact that he's trying to rip Medicare and Medicaid from millions of Americans right now.

Disgusting.

Trump’s family has turned the White House into a cash machine, cutting billion-dollar deals with foreign governments and collecting luxury perks. Time for a reckoning. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/the-400-mi...

I successfully pushed the Biden administration to clamp down on how data brokers use your private data. Now it's the latest casualty in the Trump administration's efforts to help companies turn a profit at the expense of consumers.

Jamal Khashoggi -- remember his name.

Yeah, that tracks. @nbcnews.com

All of this could have been avoided if we had just put Trump in jail for one of his many, many, many crimes.

The number one "leadership" trick has to be breaking something and then taking credit for fixing it.

Incredible.

Article I, Section 9, Clause 8: “no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”

This is too wholesome

Crazy how long this conversation has been going on

Legality aside, how pathetic for the American head of state to fly around in the plane he got as a valentine from the Emir of Qatar. A kept little man.

Honestly? The $400M plane from Qatar is quaint compared to his crypto scam, memecoin con, insider trading, and tariff shakedowns.

happy mother's day
