BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Johnson saying using active duty marines on U.S. citizens is NOT “heavy-handed”! What a POS traitor to his own country.

Every accusation is a confession.

ICE crossed a line in LA

Is this just kind of like repeat it until you believe it yourself? Your boss pardoned everyone who assaulted law enforcement on January 6th. Ass!!!

At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this morning, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.

It’s not hoarding if you call it an 'asset class.‘

Who did this? 😂

This reminds me of when I had a job summarizing state tax bills, most governor’s offices had bad on-hold music (sometimes a state song on repeat). However, Rick Perry of Texas had recordings of his own speeches instead of music — the worst.

The mistrust of democracy runs deep.

This is either positive (a crack over rule of law between Trump and Federalist Society) or a negative (Trump targeting Leonard Leo so he can install his own people and consolidate more power), but which is it?

How sharper than a serpent’s tooth it is To have a thankless child.

Lying: It's the Lord's work. Glory!

You didn’t believe Trump really gave a damn about West Point grads, did you?

Her caregiver burned out. Her group home said they couldn’t accommodate. A psychiatric facility was too full. So what happened? A woman with severe intellectual disabilities was placed in solitary confinement in a jail. The entire system let her down. As it lets so many others down.

This. This is honestly one of the greatest problems society has imo.

Georgia is torturing the family of this woman to comply with draconian abortion bans. They’re keeping a deceased person alive because she’s 9 weeks pregnant. That’s months of expensive life support, pain and suffering… and even if the baby makes it, it won’t have a mother. What are we doing?

Senator Alsobrooks: You’ve been unable to address specific questions about your agency. Can you name which office the Safe to Sleep program operates out of? RFK Jr.: Guesses wrong 5 times Alsobrooks: It is the Eunice Kennedy Shriver NICHD.

NEW: A House committee just advanced a bill to cut hundreds of billions from Medicaid that would devastate the lives of disabled people and throw millions off the program. The bill could get a full House vote as soon as next week. Tell your representative NOW to reject these cuts.

You don't have to have a long history of traumatic brain injuries to be a successful Republican candidate, but it sure helps.

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker plans to sign an executive order preventing state agencies from obtaining or disclosing data that personally identifies people with autism, unless required for medical care or legal matters. “Every Illinoisan deserves ... the freedom to live without fear of surveillance.”

If members of the WH Press Corp don’t ask this question RELENTLESSLY they should turn in their badges.

The reporters' suspensions have just been lifted, which is a relief. But still, an absolute disgrace that Columbia/Barnard put reporters — who clearly identified themselves as such throughout the protest — through this.
