Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

"At least one person tried to commit suicide, according to several migrants. Another broke his leg trying to escape. A third sent a plaintive missive from a hidden cellphone: “Only a miracle can save us.” A migrant from Iran, Artemis Ghasemzadeh, 27, wrote “Help us” in lipstick on one window.

repeating myself a bit here but trump can issue an executive order but that doesn’t necessarily mean shit if it doesn’t have a firm statutory basis. if congress lays out in law what the duties of a particular official are, then no, the president can’t decide those duties are something else

I’m gutted by this story. This baby deserved better and thought she was protecting her parents. Just the most tragic loss. Sending peace and fire to her parents. May the parents of the kids that bullied her know no peace. May the elected officials who created this know zero peace.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Unreal. The US government is dumping Asian and African families and children in random countries that they have no connection to. Dumping, not "deporting." Deportation implies the return of a person to their home country. This is treating people like toxic waste. www.cbsnews.com/news/us-depo...

Guess What Happened Today? After I posted on social media that Oscar Health has denied my daughter's life saving medication that she needs to live, medication she needs due to an incurable disease that is fatal if not treated—guess who called? /1

Our insurance company just wrote to us that the life saving medication our 9-year-old daughter needs to live is rejected because they decided—CONTRARY TO HER DOCTOR—that it is "Not Medically Necessary." Her meds costs ~$200K/year. Insurance industry raked in $88 BILLION in profits last year. 1/2

Donald Trump and Elon Musk going after the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau tells you everything you need to know about their priorities. Instead of lowering prices on "day one" as Trump said, he's raising costs on families by letting Wall Street cheat them.

Am I the only one that didn't know that Mustard's (the producer on Kendrick Lamar's album) real name is Dijon McFarlane? Meaning his stage name is Mustard but his real name is actually a type of Mustard so his stage name is basically his real name? For some reason this pleases me, greatly.

Donald Trump signed a bunch of executive orders rolling back abortion protections in the middle of the night, hoping that no one would notice. This is — and always has been — about controlling women’s bodies. I’m fighting back.
