Bless you

Posted this last night. Worth posting again. It is one thing to read and hear about people being kidnapped, far different to actually see it. These images must be seen, must be shared. The world needs to know how real and rampant it is now in America.

always have to remember the right will get hysterical over every issue of the day it does not matter about validity or truth it is all about feeding their constant outrage machine

Listen, I don't say this ever, but good on Ritchie Torres.

We can afford to give Meta $15 BILLION in tax breaks, but we can't afford Medicaid? Bloviating Billionaire Bailout Gives $3 Trillion tax cut to Billionaires And takes away Healthcare for 16 Million Americans #MedicaidSavesOurLives

UPDATE: 2 more impersonators in Houston alone. (One was shot by a man’s wife) How long are we going to let this madness go on? We should be requiring agents to ID themselves, not legislating to protect masked vigilantes. @MarshaBlackburn

Once again, to inject some research into this conversation...although millionaires often threaten to move if taxed, that tends not to actually happen. The millionaire tax flight thing is a myth. See book below ⤵️ www.sup.org/books/sociol...

The Trump/Republican ethos is survival of the fittest. They really do want us to die. See the BBB and listen to RFK, Jr. if you don’t believe it. www.editorialboard.com/unsaid-make-... @editorialboard.bsky.social

Most of this “press conference” is this lunatic yelling at the media. This guy is so obsessed with his press coverage that he can’t even function.

Every single Democratic elected who represents NYC should be proudly endorsing Zohran Mamdami, who won the primary fair & square. They should be helping him however he & his team ask. If they mealy-mouth it or, worse, stand with Cuomo, *they* will be why people hate the party.

Remember when Joe Lieberman lost a primary fair and square and then did this? Of course Cuomo has the same colossal ego.

This is not normal at all. This is Nazi stuff.

This isn’t an original thought, but the US is so divorced from true far left politics, that basic governing and resource allocation is considered radical.

A secret, never-mentioned fact is that the people who voted for Zohran are also taxpayers. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

And then this shit just came out. When you’re making over $700k a year, gaining $12k is nothing. It’s a nice vacation, redoing the garage, giving a niece/nephew a car. When you’re making $23k a year, losing $1600 is “are we paying for food or for the house or for medical bills” territory.

"You’ll have hospitals closed, services eliminated and 20,000 jobs eliminated” in Kentucky. Kentucky Hospital Association urges U.S. Senate to reject cuts to Medicaid supplemental payments supported by provider taxes. @jamielucke.bsky.social kentuckylantern.com/2025/06/24/t...

Corruption knows corruption

Attys for @aclu.org give the DC Circuit panel, which temporarily stayed Judge Boesberg's order to start contempt proceedings in the 1st Alien Enemies Act case (JGG) on 4/18, a copy of the whistleblower report that corroborates Judge Boesberg's findings in spades.

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

Once again: all governments redistribute wealth

The GOP nominee in 2021, who is likely to be the GOP nominee in 2025, received 312,385 votes in the general election

Tag yourself - I'm "made daily with food"

this is an interesting insight in general, it could explain a bit of the consultant class to constituent policy gap

On the absurd DOJ argument that Mr. Abrego Garcia should be held in criminal custody because otherwise ICE might deport him, the judge notes that “At bottom, the Government asks the Court to save it from itself because it may suffer irreparable harm completely of its own making.”

Sen. BOOKER: A group of defense attorneys and prosecutors wrote your supervisors to warn them about you, Mr. Bove. They describe you as vindictive, always looking for leverage, the prosecutorial version of a drunk driver, and needing adult supervision.

several people I follow who specialize in counter-proliferation and missiles say nuclear Iran is inevitable now and its hard to disagree

www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-...

where fox news hosts call a pentagon report "enemy propaganda" and ask if it was leaked from "nefarious iranian sources"

Oh look, another reason to avoid ChatGPT

Zohran Mamdani's shocked American pundits by running on a platform that provided an alternative to Trump, the Democrats catering to him (hello, Newsom), and misogynist Andrew Cuomo. his economics-first campaign stridently protected trans rights as Dems largely refuse to. me on his win @teenvogue.com

Yall should interview the paramedics that serve these areas. I bet a few would talk.

Elderly and disabled people told Congress that cutting Medicaid could kill people and in response, they were arrested in their wheelchairs. What the hell are we doing?

the mad king everybody

"The judicial system only works if litigants understand they have to abide by rulings they don’t agree with. If the government can simply throw up two middle fingers and keep on violating court orders, then the whole system of checks and balances is meaningless." — @lizdye.bsky.social

Murray: "None of us would sit here and agree to bipartisan bills knowing their partners were just gonna gut that deal with recessions. I hope each of us thinks about that today."

Trivia about David Frum: Stephen Miller affectionately cited his tweets to Breitbart in an effort to encourage them to publish more anti-immigrant content.

Feeding lines?

By all accounts and his behavior as T’s attorney, dude needs to be disbarred, not elevated to a lifetime on the federal bench.

morelle.house.gov/media/press-... We here at CI have long memories. Joe Morelle voted to impeach Trump the first time. But today, he voted to table the articles of impeachment presented by Rep. Green. So tell us @morelle.house.gov, are Trump's actions now not impeachable, but they were in 2019?
