PHILLY: Man posing as an ICE agent robs car repair business, ties up and manhandles a woman from the Dominican Republic — “He kept saying he is immigration officer.” It was only a matter of time before these masked vigilantes breed impersonators. www.fox29.com/video/1501153

Jeffries: "We will not be lectured by Donald Trump and anyone in the Republican Party about issues of law and order ... he pardoned hundreds of violent felons, criminals, who brutally assaulted police officers and attacked the Capitol on January 6. That's what Donald Trump did on day one."

If MyPillowGuy Mike Lindell loses his election rigging defamation trial in Denver, this will be the day that did it. And the witness who sealed his fate? Himself.

For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.

This “breaking” news is going viral right now but it’s from April.

Newsom: This is a national order. We’re talking about you and your state, your own backyard, all depending on the whim of a president who’s unhinged. Depending on how he’s feeling on a particular day, or who’s offended him because he didn’t like what they said on a Fox News clip.

The whole thing started when ICE agents jumped out of vans at a Home Depot in tactical gear and charged at a group of day laborers.

A message to the press specifically about deployment of the #NationalGuard & #Marines in LA: Please exercise extreme caution and accuracy here. There may be infiltrators and agitators and they should NOT drive the narrative. Your reporting has the power protect or endanger. Use it wisely.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Okay. Start with the ones abducting and trafficking people, and denying their rights to freedom of speech and due process.

Back in 1999, Putin insisted Russia doesn’t want Crimea and warned that redrawing international borders would be a disaster.

The alt-right "deity", Kek (a.k.a. Pepe), bringer of chaos and darkness, keeps watch. Is this androgynous god behind the mission? www.splcenter.org/resources/ha...

See Pepe the Frog in the background? What's up with that? Interesting explanation from @nolanonymous.bsky.social.

Quote of the day. The challenged Tariff Orders will be vacated and their operation permanently enjoined.

"The crematorium works around the clock.The stench of burning bodies hangs over the district.Who is being burned at night at such a terrible speed that the pipes are red-hot?" Residents of the Russian Rostov region complain on the crematorium. Putin's "SMO" is going according to plan

Phang: If you have to resort to deceit to get something done, that tells me what you’re doing is wrong. What’s happening is a dup-and-scoop: people are being duped into going to court, their cases get dismissed, and then they’re scooped up by ICE and deported under expedited removal.

Trump gets asked about Wall Street’s “TACO trade” philosophy (“Trump Always Chickens Out”) on his tariffs. Needless to say, he did not appreciate the question.

The #TACO trade goes mainstream. 🌮 #TrumpAlwaysChickensOut @nytimes.com @cavandy.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/b...

In the middle of the night, Gabe Evans cast the deciding vote to gut Coloradan's healthcare to pay for the GOP tax scheme. His vote now threatens the health and wellbeing of 214K+ in #CO08 who rely on Medicaid for the care they need.

turns out the GOP budget bill adds so much to deficits that it will automatically trigger cuts to Medicare (not just Medicaid). Older voters unlikely to be happy about this when word gets out democrats-budget.house.gov/news/press-r...

A lot of folks wonder why Josh Hawley is fighting for Medicaid. Here’s why: Missouri Republicans would not pass Medicaid expansion so we put it in the ballot. It won. Now, Missouri has a constitutional mandate to fund Medicaid. The federal cuts will likely cause the MO GOP to raise MO taxes.

This @nytimes.com map has me thinking about how much further away the US is now sending 3rd country nationals. A couple of months ago, it was Asians and Africans being sent to Panama and Costa Rica www.nytimes.com/2025/05/21/u...

It was a horrible, diabolical trap! ...on his last night in office, facing impeachment for Jan. 6. This gets so lost in reporting. If I lived in VE and saw this in '21, I'm I might have come to the U.S., never thinking I might help re-elect DJT and wind up in El-Salv. cfjctoday.com/2021/01/19/t...

Habeas corpus dates back to the Magna Carta. It’s the bedrock of due process. Kristi Noem thinks it’s a presidential power. This is not just idiotic—it’s a direct threat to civil liberties. We are not safe with her at DHS. #FireNoem #RuleOfLaw

The DoJ, in coordination with DHS and ICE, are baiting asylum seekers with hearings they must attend.

To understand what the GOP is forcing through at midnight: •Gutting $880 billion from Medicaid •Gutting $500 billion from Medicare •Gutting funding for SNAP (food assistance) •Gutting clean energy protections, which will also cost 400,000 jobs 1/2

CBO Confirms GOP Budget Bill Triggers Medicare Cuts. MEDICARE!! Republicans are slashing Medicaid AND Medicare. They are all a pack of liars stealing healthcare away from Americans to pay for billionaire tax breaks. Americans Need Medicaid and Medicare.

Medicaid is the test. If they get that, they'll come for Medicare and Social Security.

Boyle: "This is really the breaking news ... because of the size of the deficits, because of the paygo act, that would trigger sequestration of Medicare, and it would total over $500 billion. The official figure that CBO confirms is $535 billion in cuts to Medicare."

Casar: What we discovered last night, which is really breaking news, is that they’re not just robbing Medicaid—it turns out they’re also planning to rob Medicare of nearly half a billion dollars if they pass this bill.

When he showed up to an immigration meeting in Memphis, Kasper Eriksen thought he was on the verge of becoming a citizen. Then ICE arrested the Mississippi father of four, not even giving him a chance to say goodbye to his wife, whisking him away to a prison. @nickjudin.bsky.social reports:

Boyle: We just verified with the congressional budget office and of 13.7 million Americans who will lose their health care because of their bill, exactly zero are undocumented immigrants

It was an amazing feeling to be surrounded by community for my campaign kick off for CD 8. Thank you to everyone who joined us- I am grateful.

Growing up, I saw my family struggle to make ends meet. So it makes me angry when Republicans like Gabe Evans sit back and stay silent while Donald Trump and Elon Musk make life more expensive for all of us. We deserve better. I’m Shannon Bird, and that’s why I’m running for Congress.

I’m thrilled to have earned the support of so many incredible leaders across Colorado. They know that I’m ready to stand up to Trump’s attacks on our economy and democracy, and fight for a better life for Colorado’s families, seniors, and kids. shannonbird.com/endorsements

I'd like to know what Musk's DOGE did to our FAA computer systems!Air traffic controllers in Denver lost communications with planes around that major airport for 90 seconds earlier on Monday and had to scramble to use backup frequencies. abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory...
