With this budget, ICE alone would have nearly as large a detention operation as all 50 states' prison systems combined. Bigger budget than the Marine Corps. Police-state levels of spending

Trump's 'Big Brutal Bill' will give ICE a larger operating budget than the entire U.S. Marine Corps. So this is basically a workaround for Trump to violate the Posse Comitatus Act, which bans the military from civilian law enforcement.

10 years ago today, the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges made marriage equality the law of the land. 🌈 As we celebrate this historic LGBTQI+ victory a decade later, we remember how far we’ve come and why love must continue to win. #loveislove

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com I have watched you since you began on air. Would you please not be so haranguing and repetitive as you have recently become. The current producers are pushing you in wrong direction. Go back to the insightful, funny and knowledgeable person you have always been .

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

Does the fact that Emil Bove looks like the spitting image of Roy Cohn bother anyone??

Thanks for the story and the idea! I’m going to suggest it to our City Council. And to our Vintage House Senior Center. Where did you get the special bikes?

I've been banging on about this, so I guess I'll do so again & let others talk about the substantive horrors of SCOTUS's order allowing ICE to deport people to third countries with no warning: SCOTUS has again thrown lower-court judges under a ginormous bus & rewarded DOJ for defying court orders.

RUIZ: Did you read the report & fact-check its sources prior to publication? RFK JR: I did not fact check RUIZ: It included citations to sources that don't exist. How does that happen? RFK JR: All of the foundational assertions are accurate RUIZ: They did not exist. How can they be accurate?

The Trump administration wants to put Emil Bove on the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, despite his unethical conduct when he was an Assistant U.S. Attorney in Manhattan. I asked the SDNY for information that Congress needs before giving someone a lifetime seat on the federal bench.

Isn’t it about time ICE friendly NY Dems(Torres, Schumer, Jeffries) reverse course and vigorously talk about consequences for these ICE actions. Demonstrate some courage for a fucking change.

Trump’s firing (aka ”retiring”)of scientists, professors of science, science grants and scholarships does everything to lobotomize America’s character and soul.

@henriklarsen.bsky.social The Danish legislator who offered Trump the idea of trading Greenland to the US in exchange for California, as Californians, we’re all in. But we shouldn’t sacrifice Greenland. 🇬🇱 a beautiful country with amazing people.

Just back from Denmark where they asked… “what the hell is going on with Americans?” They (all 5 million of them) have always been on our side. Why is Trump trying to take Greenland away from us? Hard to spend 2 weeks explaining he’s a completely incompetent. Undskyld Danemark

100 years ago today a Tennessee grand jury indicted science teacher John Scopes for violating the state’s law making it a crime “to teach any theory that denies the story of the Divine Creation of man as taught in the Bible, and to teach instead that man has descended from a lower order of animals.”
