It should be "Strength through Peace", not "Peace through Strength". Peace is the operator here; peace is what matters, not more militarization.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner’s Roland Garros final becomes the 2nd longest Grand Slam final in the Open Era. 1. Djokovic & Nadal 2012 Australian Open, 5 hours, 53 minutes. 2. Alcaraz & Sinner 2025 Roland Garros, 5 hours, 29 minutes. It was an honor to witness it.

One of the greatest comebacks in men's tennis by Carlos Alcaraz in one of the greatest tennis matches ever. Two great players with amazing talent.

What we’re seeing in L.A. isn’t an insurrection—so why federalize the National Guard? Why the threat of using the U.S. military against civilians? We’re not there yet—but we’re closer than we think. Watch this Project 2025 reminder until the end. Then view everything happening through that lens.

EVERYBODY WATCH. ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL. Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today. He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader. Don’t turn away.

As usual, the cruelty is the point. Missouri has lived under the boot of a GOP supermajority for 22 years and they have consistently defunded schools. And now they are planning to close schools for the severely disabled.

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles. Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

Really shocked that an admin filled with podcasters, social media influencers, reality TV participants, indicted felons, crypto bros, drunks, Fox hosts, drug addicts, weirdos, and unqualified ass kissing toadies can’t keep their shit together for 24 consecutive hours.

“They want to loot the health of ordinary families to enhance their own wealth.” Sen. Ed Markey nails it: Elon Musk says Trump’s $800B in health care cuts aren’t enough. He wants deeper cuts—then demands $190B in tax breaks for himself. That’s billionaire looting, paid for by your health care.

That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists — and that they both individually wield such massive power — is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.

As Trump and Musk are mad at each other, let's remember this doesn't mean they and their supporters - the MAGA ethno-nationalists vs the far-right tech anarcho-libertarians - aren't exactly who we thought they were: Exactly as dangerous, as ridiculous, as rabidly opposed to egalitarian democracy.

Look beyond Trump and Musk's public blowout to the bigger problem: the infiltration of Big Money in our politics. It has corrupted our democracy — creating a vicious cycle that funnels more wealth and power to those at the top while drowning out the needs of regular Americans.

I’m also just thinking about the White House has absolutely no idea how much information Elon walked away with. He had access to the Treasury payment systems. He had access to the network. Remember when they installed Starlink at the WH. Bro. This could get real messy for everybody.

Bernie: "What that is all about is that if you're rich in America, you can make campaign contributions, you are entitled to massive tax breaks because you're superhuman beings. But if you're a poor working stiff, working at McDonald's, struggling to put food on the table, you're entitled to nothing"
