The government is returning Abrego Garcia to the US where he will face criminal charges. In other words, due process, including an opportunity to defend himself in court. abcnews.go.com/US/mistakenl...

DEAN: What's the tariff on bananas? LUTNICK: Generally 10% DEAN: Walmart has already increased the cost of bananas by 8% LUTNICK: If you build in America, there is no tariff DEAN: We cannot build bananas in America

Rep. Crockett IS THAT GIRL!!! She speaks the truth with exacting precision *in laypersons terms*. If the @housedemocrats.bsky.social are smart, they will make @repjasmine.bsky.social the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee. She is one of the most effective communicators we have!

Dean: When did we have a trade surplus? Lutnick: About 100 years ago Dean: It was the Great Depression.

Why is the media focusing on Musk so much? Musk was allowed to do what Trump allowed him to to do. This is what pro quo looks like. Trump is out of his element. The job for the highest position in the land is above Trump’s skill set. IMPEACHMENT NOW! Enough of this foolishness. They’re all laughing

Elon is unhinged. He knows some of Trump’s secrets. But what they both know is that Trump would not have won without Musk. They cheated.

The media needs to stop giving catch phrases to what is obviously not normal to this WHOLE TRUMP MESS! For the sake of DEMOCRACY STOP! How bout you guys report the truth. Win a Pulitzer Prize. Stop dumbing down real news for a like. Stop normalizing this chaos that is Trump. Gave you no decency!

it is absolutely true that lincoln tried not to get too far afield of public opinion on slavery, calibrating his positions and actions according to what he thought was the mainstream. but it is important to note that at no point did lincoln ever disavow or deny his *sincerely held antislavery views*

Can't wear a mask to save people's lives. Can wear a mask to destroy the U.S. Constitution. It was never about the masks, it was always about the purpose of the masks.

Chris Murphy: "We can't be preparing for the 2026 election. It might not come. All of our focus right now has to be on protecting the democracy, about stopping the corruption."

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

What happened?

Raise your hand if you’re not even a meteorologist and you still know there’s a hurricane season.

NEW: A 2023 investigation by @wpln.bsky.social and ProPublica found that Richard L. Bean was illegally locking kids up alone in cells. A new scandal has forced his resignation. By @paigepfleger.bsky.social

Great point 👇 #ResistTrump

🔥Russia: New footage of strategic bombers burning at the Belaya Air Base in the Irkutsk region.

Awkward way for Joni Ernst to find out she isn’t funny. Let’s stop sending people like Joni Ernst and Lindsey Graham to the Senate.

Remember when “death panels” was a Republican talking point against expanding health insurance coverage with Obamacare? Now, cutting coverage and actually sending people to their death is a policy position of the Republican Party.

Vote her out! She has know business in her position with this type of mindset.

We fought a war so we wouldn’t have a ruler who wanted majesty. It’s the people’s house, not a palace or a tacky casino.

Yes.

If crazy had to ask was it all bullshit then he already knew the answer. Yes….of course it was. He paid Musk/Doge back for the favor of assisting him in his in the 2024 Election. Remember what Trump said…Elon knows those computers.

The Saturday night musing of a madman…

If Joe Biden posted something like this Hannity would be roused from his sleep to anchor special coverage. But Trump posts apeshit conspiracy theories and the mainstream press yawns. His craziness has been completely normalized.

Exactly!

They don’t even write it up! Trump’s insanity never gets covered as a legitimate crisis. But it is. If your aging parent did this, you and your siblings would be talking about power of attorney!

When @jasmineforus.bsky.social is in town, we clean up real nice. Always good to spend time with friends who are family. 💙

Let me make this simple: 1) People have been fired - our economy & governmental services have been interrupted because of the firings. 2) The proposed budget includes - cuts to federal worker’s benefits, cuts to Medicaid, cuts to food assistance, & deep tax cuts for the RICH,

In the 19th century, a New Orleans doctor sent the skulls of 19 Black Americans to a doctor in Germany, where they were used as part of now discredited racial science. The remains were recently returned to the city, where they will be laid to rest on Saturday.

I don't know if there is a more appropriate goodbye to Loretta Swit, than her last scene in MASH in the series finale. Loretta won two Emmy's for her role as Major Houlihan.

The Democrat’s top line ad theme for the midterms…

That would be awful. Don’t share this.

Lindsey is just a big baby, so there’s that as well.

Let’s go Annie!

Right? I know this sounds crazy, especially in the Age of Ignorance and Dumbfuckery, but someone convicted of 34 felonies probably shouldn't be allowed to pardon anyone. 🤷‍♀️

Make no mistake: Illinois is leading the nation in strengthening women’s health care. With the passage of HB 3637, we are expanding the ways we shield our providers from punishment for delivering life-saving health care. We are not going back.
