We've got the border under control. Great. So why do we now need an additional $150b for a huge increase in the federal workforce and facilities. Get that money to VA and elderly patients, don't spend on it on new layers of unneeded government bureaucrats!

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

Mic drop.

Phang: If you were scrolling on social media and saw a dog locked up in the middle of the Everglades—in the sun, in the heat, in the humidity—the outrage would be wild, wouldn’t it? But then—we’re okay with human beings being treated like that?

I didn’t have the Supreme Court destroying the authority of federal district courts on my bingo card. But in retrospect that’s perhaps where all this shadow docket decision-making was going all along. Really scary stuff.

A state-sanctioned neo-nazi gang. That’s what ICE is.

I Believe I Can Fly Oil and cold wax

@cameronkasky.bsky.social I will tell you that whoever offers trump the most, either money or power…. You have Bibi/Adelson 🙄, or half of his base, or Putin???

Calling up the National Guard for 29 days instead of 30 so he doesn’t have to pay for stipends and lodging...

Agree.

😂

This is a United States Senator mocking the assassination of a Minnesota legislator and her husband. He pretends to be a good Mormon. He’s a sick fuck.

I thought not. She engaged with him first of all in a totally different way. Didn’t look right either!

YOU ARE THE DUMBEST MFr ON THIS PLANET 🙄 💥

We hear that immigrants are "freeloaders," yet they're being arrested at their workplaces. We hear that immigrants "just need to follow the law," but when they attempt to, they're rounded up at courthouses. Hello?

Protest peacefully please!@alexpadilla

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but civil protests are not riots

I wonder why the first senator they've used physical force against is Sen. Alex Padilla, a Latino man representing California 🤔

Protest peacefully please!@alexpadilla

Terry Moran, if you’re reading this: the door is open.

One argument I tried to make to centrist, right-leaning folks during 2024 was that if you really hate street protest and unrest and chaos, then you should absolutely not vote for Donald Trump, because he 100% guarantees more.

The injustices of the current regime will fall.

Fact check: True.

Healthcare for seniors is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon *is* waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.

WaPo scores with worst headline: "Trump charts new territory in bypassing Newsom to deploy military personnel" .... unfuckingbelieveable

Trump canceled: "a grant to Emory University and Georgia State University, where researchers had developed three potential drugs that showed promise against many RNA-based viruses, including coronaviruses, Ebola, avian influenza and measles.." www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

When the LA police says you are overreaching, you are overreaching.

substack.com/@kristian112.... GET OUT!

It’s hard to be really fair for some. I think those are the people who, as parents, rush to school and blame the teacher, coach, or anyone but their own child.

Yes, it should have been Yates without a doubt.

True as the sky is blue. Mo way he could have.

@nicollewallace.bsky.social Matt Dowd, everything he said was ridiculous. All of this had to come out… everything should come out and if it means two fools make themselves seem even more like fools, so be it! Does he want this to stay quiet? Really?

Stephen Miller. Steve Bannon. Pam Bondi. JD Vance. These people will be remembered for what they are: The filth that cheered as institutions crumbled. The ones who put ambition above country. The garbage we suppress in ’26—and send packing in ’28.

This is my best birthday ever!! 6/6/1944.. and I have had many!!

31 years! Happy anniversary, Gwen. The kids and I are so lucky to have you in our lives.
