Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

As the federal government conducts chaotic immigration sweeps across the country, the state is deploying additional CHP to maintain safety on Los Angeles highways to keep the peace. It's not their job to assist in federal immigration enforcement.

Stephen Miller is fulfilling his high school wet dream of terrorizing all the Brown people in Los Angeles. My daughter's friends who went to SaMo High with him said he used to seethe while the morning announcements were repeated in Spanish. Hell, they did that when I went there. (Mesozoic age.)

Sharing from local organizers - see you there

Imagine that. www.npr.org/2025/06/02/n...

Aaaaand this is exactly why they are doing it. This will fill the space. Not shitty job numbers. Not Elon Chaos. Not failed trade negotiations. Not the collapsing economy. This. Damn you dumbasses! Fucking learn to control a fucking narrative!

Instead of working tirelessly to take away our Medicare Medicaid and Social Security, shouldn’t Congress be investigating why the President gave a “big time drug addict” the keys to the US government?

Your safety is the top priority. Peaceful protesters have already been harmed for doing nothing. The story they’re selling isn’t legit. Please film everything, document everything.

The world is watching. And we have friends everywhere. Upload everything, every moment. Don’t give them the chance to twist the truth. We have people on the way to help. You’re not alone. ✊🌙💚

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle. Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

The deployment of federalized National Guard troops to California, without consent from local or state officials, is deeply troubling. These are tactics seen in authoritarian regimes, not in America. We want to be clear, the military should not be used to police civilians.

This is a pre-planned operation in LA!

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio tried to give a press conference to announce his lawsuit against DOJ. Much to my surprise it turned out to be the greatest press conference of all-time.

The Florida Bar has filed misconduct charges against Attorney General Pam Bondi. She has been in violation of multiple ethics rules since being sworn in.

Are we clear now a private businessman shouldn’t be in a position to control the space program—that this richest man in the world fueled by drugs, ego & hate shouldn’t be partnering with a malignant sociopath in the WH immunized by the SCOTUS & bent on pocketing billions & flouting the Constitution?

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.

Yes we do….

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

It’s called taxing the rich, buddy.

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security with 100% of their income. A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security with less than 1% of their income. Does that sound fair to you?

Overheard: Apparently Zelenskyy had some cards, and he didn’t need a suit.

People so often overlook the importance of good penmanship.

Yes, you did vote to deport moms.

The entire point.

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

Wow. Avelo airlines has covered up their logo to hide the fact that they're helping with mass deportation. Avelo's customer service number is (346) 616-9500. Feel free to give them a call and tell them how you feel about them.

Something spicy & delicious as a taco has gotten under Trumplestiltkin's thin tangerine skin. Seems the master of mean, juvenile nicknames can dish them out but when directed towards him, he can't take it, angrily calling it "nasty."🤣 Good to know. (you know what to do!) 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮

Said it before, I’ll say it again. We shouldn’t privatize NASA. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/s...

On Memorial Day, we remember the sacrifices that our men and women in uniform and their families have made to preserve our freedom. May we always strive to honor the strength and resolve they’ve shown our country.

lol

Malinowski: A couple of years ago, Vance gave a speech.. The title was universities are the enemy. He said explicitly, we cannot achieve anything in this country as a conservative movement unless we aggressively go after the universities. That's what they're doing right now

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

I believe in science

While I appreciate the "lock him up" and "impeach him" sentiments (and I'm with you), if Mueller, Garland, and impeachment taught us anything, its that 1) SCOTUS is corrupt and 2) We have to do this ourselves. As I've been saying for nearly 8 years: it's up to us. Always has been.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

Dear press: Why do questions of mental acuity activate only with the prior but not the current administration? Asking for a nation.

“The press doesn't give a shit.”

McGovern: "This is not a governing philosophy. It is a scam. I wasn't sent here to vote for trash. I can't understand why you'd choose a career of public service to do this -- to rip away the healthcare & food assistance of working & middle class Americans. Is that really what you came here to do?"

The Rules Committee meets at 1 AM on Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning to ram through this disastrous bill. Why? Because they don't want you to see them ripping healthcare from millions of Americans. You do not hold a hearing for a bill at 1 AM unless you're completely ashamed of it.

Michelle and I are thinking of the entire Biden family. Nobody has done more to find breakthrough treatments for cancer in all its forms than Joe, and I am certain he will fight this challenge with his trademark resolve and grace. We pray for a fast and full recovery.
