Watch this video and support Dr. Annie Andrews for U.S. Senate!

After three months in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody, a Filipino green-card holder who had been arrested at Seattle-Tacoma Airport has finally gone home.

My thoughts are with our Jewish neighbors after another horrifying antisemitic attack, this time in Boulder. Hate has no place in our country.

ICE is now posing as the electric company to get access to people’s houses. tucson.com/news/local/b...

Just had to ditch my Tesla Model S in a parking lot. Have it attached to three phones…had my daughter come pick me up. Two key fobs. The car recognizes none of the above. Good times. Can’t even open the door. Was doing Saturday shopping/errands. Tesla = no service on weekends. #Tesla

Because the Crusades worked so well the first time....

Chris Murphy on Joni Ernst: "I think everybody in that audience knows they're going to die, they would just rather die in old age at 85 or 90 instead of dying at 40. And the reality is that when you lose your healthcare, you are much more at risk of early death."

What infuriates me so much about this new operation is that it is literally punishing people for following the rules and showing up to their court hearings. It is so toxic to the basic concept of following the rules. It is an operation designed by people who hate the concept of the rule of law.

ICE is out here detaining every immigrant under the sun, and the rich are about to learn the hard way that their summer homes don’t staff themselves.

@timmiller.bsky.social: “If you're using so much ketamine that you have bladder control issues, it might be time for a lifestyle change.”

NYT: “The episode was recorded by someone who was sitting in Mr. Nadler’s office. In the video, an officer with the Federal Protective Service, part of the Department of Homeland Security, is shown demanding access to a private area inside the office.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/05/31/n...

First, mayors. Now, congressional staffers. @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

Thou shalt not tie up children in zip ties and then deport them, for that maketh thou a MONSTER. A MONSTER! THE PEOPLE DOING ZIPTYING CHILDREN ARE MONSTERS!

Statement from Buona Forchetta about the ICE raid last night. 💔

Against all odds, Joni Ernst has made it worse

Claimed they had a “criminal search warrant” but no one says they saw it. Dressed for war to arrest people who are undocumented which is a misdemeanor. And if it was only for immigration, they won’t even get to see a judge. They are treating immigration as if it were terrorism. THAT is the crime.

🧵 NEW: Costco tops earnings and revenue estimates as sales jump 8% "Costco on Thursday posted quarterly earnings and revenue that topped estimates as the warehouse club’s sales climbed 8%." - @cnbc.com In January, Costco shareholders voted to reject an anti-DEI proposal, 98-2 percent.

Trump hands Dept of Interior to Russia-linked oil exec: "... given sweeping powers to overhaul the department that manages public lands "...hasn’t divested his investments or filed an ethics commitment to break ties with companies that pose a conflict of interest" apnews.com/article/hass...

This is our neighborhood and ICE is clearly not welcome. This is the scene outside Buona Forchetta last night after the ICE raid. The crowd chants SHAME after being hit with flash bangs.

Penzey's Spices have an offer on this weekend.

San Diego erupts at ICE raiding a local restaurant and detaining ALL staff.

🛑 STOP FEDERAL AGENTS FROM ZIP-TYING CHILDREN I emailed Senators Adam Schiff and Alex Padilla, and my Rep Mike Thompson regarding the outrageous treatment of migrant children in San Antonio. I have attached a copy of the email I sent out. Please feel free to use this text or edit as you see fit.

That would be awful. Don’t share this.

Ice agents arresting immigrants coming out of immigration court is appallingly cruel. People trying to do the right thing should not be punished.

A court halted his deportation. The Trump administration deported him 28 minutes later. - POLITICO

Yet more ways Target is going to lose sales.

when you look at the powers trump is claiming and boil it down, he really does seem to see himself as the literal embodiment of the executive branch, if not the entire nation, and thus his authority extends to everything www.washingtonpost.com/entertainmen...

Watch every bit. Your tax dollars.She’s having a panic attack.They should not be putting her in that van. They need to call EMS.The will claim she is faking.Her son is telling her to calm down and she says she does not want to die. Border Patrol, ICE & CBP are a disgrace.Glad I threw my badge away.

AIR FORCE NONE? 🥴 Trump’s Air Force One deal with Qatar isn’t final. Turns out he asked for the jet—they didn’t offer. And now Qatar wants a memo of understanding signed with DC first.

There’s your empty shelf. US goods imports drop 19.8% in April — largest on record

Oh

It makes me feel sick knowing so many Americans believe him

POS ALERT 👇👇👇👇👇 NEWS: Republican Senator Tells Constituents Worried About Medicaid Cuts: "You're Going to Die Anyways" open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

GOP Sen. Joni Ernst responds to voters saying that cutting Medicaid will kill them: “Well, we all are going to die.”

Good morning — It has been 12 hours since investigators said this man was set up, and @MarshaBlackburn @KristiNoem @DHSgov all still have not deleted their tweets.

DOJ is deciding to prosecute discrimination cases [on behalf of white people and/or "Christians" only] by reading the notoriously honest and reliable X, a gathering place for Nazis, white supremacists, and those who constantly nurse paranoid, fake persecution complexes. What a brilliant plan.
