The slashing of healthcare and food assistance and driving up of the debt aren’t even the worst parts of the Big Bogus Bill. If it passes, it will fundamentally rewrite the laws of this nation and give Kumquat Pol Pot unprecedented, unchecked power.

🚨MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: Senator Alex Padilla was just ARRESTED during Kristi Noem’s press conference for asking questions. This is officially a Fascist country.

A DHS spokesperson defended the detainment, accusing Sen. Padilla of failing to properly identify himself during Sec. Kristi Noem's press conference. But multiple videos show Padilla clearly identifying himself as a senator.

This is dictator shit right here. www.military.com/daily-news/2...

What exactly is happening? Why are the cops breaking their own windshield? Not sure where this is, but the license plate looks like California

Trump parade: $45 Million The chance to see that fake tanner melt off his ugly face on national tv: Priceless

Dystopian.

Donald Trump “Wants to Demonstrate Absolute Power”: Maggie Haberman on Covering a Tumultuous Second Term https://twp.ai/4ioUH6

True story bro.

Peaceful protester shot in the head w/rubber bullet and LEO refuses to call emergency services.

NEW: In public, Trump and his top aides say trade talks are in great shape even after a court declared many tariffs to be illegal. In court, though, the admin is sounding more urgent alarm, warning judges that a ruling against them would damage Trump globally. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/u...

Law enforcement is violently targeting press at protests around Los Angeles, from easily recognizable "mainstream" outlets to freelancers and independents. ALL press have explicit legal protections in California. #JournalismIsNotACrime. This evidence thread may get graphic. 🧵👇

JOURNALISTS IN LA or COVERING FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT: Press rights groups are trying to coordinate responses to unlawful attacks by federal officers against journalists during protests. If you can help ID individuals in charge of operations (incident commander, etc.) & contact info please LMK.

I'm preparing to share evidence with civic leaders showing the flagrant mistreatment of press at hands of law enforcement during protests in Los Angeles. If anyone knows an email for these officials that will actually be read (by staff is fine), please LMK: Gov. Newsom Sen. Padilla Sen. Schiff

🦋 Representative talks to National Guard at LA anti-ICE protest Maxine Waters represents CA-43 which includes Compton in Los Angeles county, site of yesterday's car fire. She has represented her district for 34 years. "This is wrong & I hope that none of you will use those guns to shoot anybody" 🦋

Donald Trump has become convinced that Republicans cannot win the midterms, and that a blue wave would effectively end his presidency and confront him with two years of investigations and impeachment proceedings. He needs martial law as an excuse to cancel the midterms. So America is on a clock now.

It is on brand that a Home Depot parking lot protest is the Trump administration’s lame version of the Reichstag fire, but same difference.

Thou shalt remember that President Trump hired a “big time drug addict” to destroy the government and was fine with that. Thou shalt also remember that Elon Musk funded and worked for a man he knew to be a pedophile and was fine with that.

Brutally honest WWE Royal SmackDown on McMahon Bravo Ms. Dean Bravo 👏👏👏

In preparation for next week’s parade/demonstration, tanks are being moved into Washington, DC today. Unprecedented. (Photo from a colleague in DC)

The decision to pursue charges against Abrego García now, after he wasn't charged in 2022, led to the resignation of Ben Schrader, a high-ranking federal prosecutor who spent 15 years in the U.S. Attorney's Office in Nashville and was most recently the chief of the criminal division.

This is so wrong. All to feed the ego of a mad tyrant who never had the balls to serve. This is not what we do in America. This is so fucking wrong. Makes me so sad. And so angry.👇

Something else in common…the descendants are still told they don’t belong. We should be united ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼

MAGA: Anyone who trusts Elon is a fool. Me: But your guy trusted him with the keys to our entire government like 5 minutes ago. MAGA: Your a dum hore!

You mean to tell me no one at Disney World noticed that the Biden bot was missing from the Hall of Presidents?

It just occurred to me that the generation of Americans who were convinced that a quarter pound of beef is bigger if you shape it like a square instead of a circle is the generation that voted for Trump.

Goodnight & sleep well, everyone Regardless of -LGBTQIA -Nationality/Ethnicity -Religion -Disability -Mental Health -Skin Color etc Your existence & identity matter! You have a purpose & deserve to have #HumanRights, #equality, and... NEVER tolerate cruelty or hate Catch ya'll on the flip side😴🛌

This is EXACTLY who you voted for.

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

Communities aren’t staying silent about ICE… 18-year-old Massachusetts high school student Marcelo Gomes was taken by ICE on his way to volleyball practice Saturday morning. No word on where he’s being held. Marcelo missed graduation today, so Milford HS graduates marched to rally in solidarity.

BREAKING: In a Lawsuit against Paramount, Trump Claims that the ‘60 Minutes’ Harris Interview Caused Him ‘Mental Anguish.’ I’m sorry to tell you this but the dude who wears makeup seems like a snowflake to me.

Trump International Hotel in NY 😂 TACO = Trump always chickens out

No, we should NOT coexist with Nazis. Period.

Trump is going to destroy the global economy again to prove he isn't a wuss
