Mike Lawler has always been a fraud. He is 100% Trump MAGA.

They are sending roving bands of masked thugs with the stated goal of kidnapping 20 million brown people to transport them to any country they can pay to take them. All this has been cleared by The Stolen Court. This is not deportation. This is ethnic cleansing.

Democrats: We oppose Donald Trump's tax plan because it cuts taxes on the rich. The rich should pay more taxes. Mamdani: I agree! Here's my tax plan to tax the rich. Let's go! Democrats: ....No

I’ll bet you ten bucks Susan Collins will say she’s “very concerned” but will nonetheless vote to advance Trump’s budget bill. Total hypocrite.

Nonstop trucks with construction materials going into the immigration detention facility being built right now in the Everglades. Whoever doesn’t think this will have a harmful environmental impact is lying to themselves.

Amazing how all it took for Corporate Democrats to stop chanting "VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO" was a brown Muslim immigrant who won his primary on a platform of free childcare, transportation, frozen rent, a 2% higher taxes for millionaires. smh And they wonder why the Dem Party has a 26% approval.🤔

Environmentalists are suing to stop the opening of Ron DeSantis’ “Alligator Alcatraz,” a new migrant detention facility that will hold up to 3,000 detainees in Florida’s Everglades. A pet project of the governor, the facility—surrounded by alligator-infested swamplands—may open as early as Tuesday.

New Senate bill is a fossil fuel feeding frenzy, worse for clean energy than even the House bill, and will dramatically INCREASE people’s utility bills.

Listening to DeSantis describe “Alligator Alcatraz”, you would think he is building a human-rights-compliant detention facility instead of the inhumane horror camp surrounded by alligator-filled canals with no due process that it is. Trafficking humans is the new big MAGA grift. #OnYourSide

MN Governor Tim Walz delivers the eulogy at today’s funerals for Melissa and Mark Hortman (and their beloved dog). All victims of political assassination #RestInPeace m.youtube.com/watch?v=Kjkv...

The right deciding that New York has suddenly become overrun with immigrants is another example of how 98% of MAGA has little awareness of politics or history prior to 2014. s2.washingtonpost.com/camp-rw/?tra...

Saturday fungus

And treated the attempted kidnapping of a Democratic governor as a joke instead of more terrorism by Christo-fascists.

Pink trail

Such a good point on SCOTUS hypocrisy when it comes to Trump vs Biden: They let a nationwide injunction kill Biden’s student loan relief when they had a chance to rule on it. 5 months into Trump’s presidency, suddenly nationwide injunctions are a grave threat to executive power and they must rule.

A Melania Trump event is being investigated after promising to donate proceeds to a charity that doesn't appear to exist, report says. They’re ALL corrupt.

The Senate version of GOP's budget bill dropped in the middle of the night. Astonishingly, it got EVEN WORSE. It raises energy costs, kills $100s of billions of investment in manufacturing, makes grids less reliable, increases pollution & constrains our ability to compete w/China on AI. Loser stuff.

This tells you all you need to know about the media’s upside-down priorities.

ICYMI — “FRIDAY evening theSenate rejected a war powers resolution that would have blocked Trump from making further attacks on Iran, despite widespread disapproval of last week’s strikes… Rand Paul (R) voted for it… Fetterman (D) voted against…”

Starting this fall, Oklahoma high school students will be expected to study so-called “discrepancies” from the 2020 presidential election — essentially conspiracy theories about a stolen election that have been thoroughly discredited by courts and President Donald Trump’s own Department of Justice.

The Supreme Court delayed ruling on a Louisiana congressional redistricting case that some legal experts say could end up further weakening protections against maps that dilute minority voters' power. By @hansilowang.bsky.social

Imagine describing genocide and illegal attacks on other sovereign nations, while mass killing tens of thousands of innocent people, as “reshaping.” Yeah and Jeffrey Dahmer reshaped culinary exploration. Utterly disgusting from NPR.

"MAGA allows for no breathing room after a tragedy, no space for unity. Instead, Trumpists immediately try to use the corpses to score political points without regard for the facts. Trump is a small, petty man and as a result, the GOP becomes smaller and pettier every day." — @playtyperguy.com

Zohran’s remarkable win. The Republicans’ big, ugly bill. Trump’s growing list of broken promises. We discuss all of this, and more, on a special Coffee Klatch live from New York City! youtu.be/PgfVgrDSau4

“Democracy will only continue to thrive as long as patriotic Americans — including state and local officials of all parties — defend it,” Debbie Cox Bultan and @davidpepperoh.bsky.social write. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/as-r...

Over the past decade, the world’s richest 1% have increased their wealth by at least $33.9 trillion, according to a new analysis from the global anti-poverty group Oxfam International.

Jim Obergefell, plaintiff in the landmark Supreme Court case that legalized gay marriage in all 50 states, reflects on the decision 10 years later and the LGBTQ community's current civil rights fight.

Not only are ICE bounty hunters, who look more like criminals than law enforcement, abducting people from workplaces & off the street—we’re now seeing they’re being held in private detention centers w/some of the most deplorable conditions imaginable. REPEAT: people are profiting from this cruelty.

ICE blasts through door using explosives, armored vehicle & drone—all 3 people in house were U.S. citizens. Agents did not knock or give warning—immediately set off explosives & flew in a drone. Then at least 10 agents who were crouched behind an armored vehicle stormed the house.

If the Democratic Establishment had *any* common sense they would ride this wave towards unprecedented victory in the next election—instead they're partnering with Republicans to denounce Mamdani and demonize his pitch for economic justice. Beyond absurd and foolish.

Also funny that women live 5-7 years longer than men, so he’s being really picky about finding someone to watch him die.

Thread... I was 19 when 9/11 happened. I lived through post-9/11 hate, the "anti-Shariah" movement, & hype around the Muslim ban. But with Zohran's primary win, I don't think I've ever seen THIS level of Islamophobia & anti-Muslim hate from BOTH GOP and Democrats. And the sad truth is this— 1/4

Louder for the people in the back!

Alina Habba: parking lot lawyer extraordinaire and political persecutor not prosecutor

Damn‼️ Federal agents blew a door off for this? Federal agents blasted their way into an LA home where Jenny Ramirez lives with her boyfriend and two kids. She heard the blast while checking on her 6-year-old, with her 1-year-old in her arms. Ramirez says everyone in the home is a U.S. citizen. 🧵

Let's break down Donald Trump's Big, Beautiful Betrayal: ❌Billions of dollars cut from Medicaid ❌Millions of people losing health care coverage ❌Hundreds of thousands of Californians at risk of losing food assistance This isn't cost-saving. It's not smart. It's cruel.

Great. He wants Americans both disease riddled AND toothless.
