ICE in LA today. Photo from NBC.

📌The dollar is off to its weakest start to a year since 1973, tumbling a whopping 10%, because Trump is a worldwide laughingstock -- hated and untrusted. Right now he is pushing for the greatest transition of wealth in American history. He is grotesque and repulsive. These things aren't said enough.

The Trump admin said it would go after violent immigrants but they are giving this guy: *an early release from prison *a promise not to be deported for at least a year *a work permit

Actually what Americans just saw today was a prominent Republican US Senator announce he is quitting because he knows this budget is going to hurt millions of people and he was repeatedly threatened by the president and his cult for telling the truth about it.

They have shown that overwhelmingly.

Jeff Bezos is worth $230 billion and is reportedly spending $20 million on a three-day wedding in Venice while sailing around on his $500 million yacht. If he can afford to do that, he can afford a wealth tax and to pay Amazon workers a living wage. Hello?

🔥🔥🔥

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore. Make it make sense.

Trump makes a homophobic attack on Anderson Cooper, calling him "Allison Cooper"

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

“family members identified the victim as Narciso Barranco, a father to three sons who are all U.S. Marines” ktla.com/news/local-n...

So the parade cost around $70 million. The attack on Los Angeles $150 million. The bombs in Iran $280 million But we can't have healthcare or food.😒 #winning

The United States never has enough money to keep people alive at home but always has enough money to kill people overseas.

Hard not to believe that the current moment will not completely poison many people's ability to trust the US government for a long time. No-one really believes that the masked men dishing out the kind of violence will ever face any sort of accountability.

Gas is $3.50 a gallon, butter is $6 bucks a pound, eggs are $4 bucks a dozen, we’re at war with Iran, South African Nazis stole all our data, and ICE is throwing citizens in detention camps. But hey, at least those 3 trans kids can’t play volleyball anymore.

It’s the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

This!

ICE grabs two gardeners right off his front lawn—leave lawnmower running. "They left lawnmower going right here on my front lawn," homeowner said. "Threw my gardeners’ phones in their car along with the keys—left everything open and just took off." The family does not know where they are now.

THIS JUST HAPPENED: Brad Lander walked through the fire, got burned, and came back with a fucking gasoline can. ICE arrested him — now he’s escorting migrants right past them, again. Most politicians wouldn’t show up. He showed out.

Hate rots people from the inside out!

Guy who has golfed 33 days this year thinks Americans need to work more.

ICE agents are complaining that every time they go out (unmasked/in unmarked cars) protesters are dumping pounds of glitter on them. So people can identify them as ICE for days afterward. Time to buy glitter . . .

BREAKING: Video of President Obama singing "Amazing Grace" as a eulogy ten years ago today is going mega-viral. This is what American greatness actually looks like.

Congress members have a legal right to conduct oversight at ICE facilities. This is the regime hiding its blatant abuses.

KAINE: “You didn’t call any of the families. They learned about it from the press.” @sentimkaine calls out @petehegseth for not having the courtesy to call the families of the 🇺🇸 soldiers whose names he’s stripping from military bases to put the names of Confederate generals back.

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism “'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.' *More of this, please*"

"Don't worry Mrs Noem, we're going to take VEEEEERY good care of you." #KristiNoem #Cricket #Karma

Prayers for an “allergic reaction.” But mockery and hateful conspiracies for murder victims who aren’t in your tribe. With no apology or remorse. Fake Christian, small man.

Day 2. Someone worthy takes a seat at the table.

🍸 this really isn’t the best time to have an alcoholic Secretary of Defense…😵‍💫

Representative Justin Bamberg corrects a pro-lifer who racially profiles him at a hearing. He. Left. No. Crumbs.

Tapper: "We cover Trump every day... I think some of the questions about Trump are more about personality than they are about cognitive decline." 🤦 Motivated reasoning--seeing the facts before your eyes and choosing to interpret them to serve your preconceived narrative--is a hell of a drug.

Bluesky won’t let me post this here directly for some reason.

Okay, this is so weird. I came across this June 3, 1933 issue of a French satirical magazine at our local flea market and I was shockingly struck by how much the guy licking Hitler’s boots looks like…

For the first time in its 116-year history, the NAACP will not invite the president to their convention. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Political violence must always be condemned.

Having President live tweeting this war probably isn’t the best idea

WE HAVE QUESTIONS… This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they? ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants. How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

A proper headline. Take note, @washingtonpost.com

PUTIN WAS KICKED OUT OF G8 in 2014 WHEN HE ANNEXED CRIMEA. TRUDEAU WAS ELECTED IN 2015. THANK YOU FOR THE ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

Utah voters: Are these really your values? Mike Lee is the best you can do?
