All this Iran stuff must be fake news because Trump said no new wars would happen and that he would prevent all potential conflicts with his strong leadership and superior negotiating skills.

“.. Jesus, that ear. He should donate it to the Smithsonian. .. He made all his records with four tracks, but you couldn't make his records if you had a hundred tracks today.” - Bob Dylan, on Brian Wilson #RIP “Good Vibrations” (1966)

I continue to be furious with Congress refusal to regulate technology, doesn’t everyone see where this is going?

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu announced Tuesday that she signed an executive order seeking greater transparency from federal immigration officials. She said the city will submit regular Freedom of Information Act requests to find out who ICE is detaining and on what grounds.

My statement on the Department of Defense launching a review of the Australia-U.K.-U.S. (AUKUS) submarine deal.

Along with abolishing ICE we should abolish all for-profit prison companies in the country.

Trump underwater in literally every single issue. 38% approval overall. 27% approval on his spending bill. 40% approval on deportations. Musk also at 30% approval. 38% approval for RFK Jr. 35% approval for JD Vance. Nobody fucking wants any of this. poll.qu.edu/poll-release...

Dystopian.

Yesterday at Henry M. Jackson Federal Building in Seattle barriers were built with scooters and bikes in front of the buildings garage exit. This comes as it was announced today that ICE will be deploying tactical teams to 5 cities in the US to assist in “mass deportations”

The Mayor of LA has issued a curfew tonight — not because the citizens are out of control BUT BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT IS.

Sorry to hear Brian Wilson has died. The Beach Boys were the soundtrack of my summers, from "Surfin' Safari" on.

Reporter to Leavitt: "I'm struck that the president has not at any point said 'the most important thing is to protect the 1st Amendment rights of peaceful protesters' ... why is he not out saying, 'all peaceful protesters will be protected?'"

LAPD: THEY PUT FLOWERS AT THE FEET OF THE GUARD! FIRE! FIRE! FIRE!

Idiocracy was a documentary.

BREAKING: Judge says Mahmoud Khalil cannot be detained or deported based on Rubio’s determination. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Pam Bondi doesn't answer questions about what the legal threshold is for the administration invoking the Insurrection Act

Double.

We feed you. They hunt us.

They’re doing jobs Americans refuse to do and they’re being hunted ….

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

These people should be identified and prosecuted. But there is no reason to believe the country can't handle "several" incidents like this and the overwhelming majority of protesters were there to peacefully exercise their First Amendment rights, which is what this president is afraid of.

Everyone who collaborated with the Trump administration deserves the kind of public humiliation that Vichy collaborators got. But instead they will probably all get CNN gigs like Scott Jennings.

My work here is done

This is actually perfect. The emptiness makes it look as ridiculous and wasteful as it is.

Oklahoma receives about $3 billion more in federal spending than it pays in federal taxes. That's nearly $8,000 per Oklahoman--only 9 states have a higher per capita balance of payments. Subsidies from MA, NJ, WA, CA, and a few others are how OK remains a "low tax state."

If you can post it - you can deal with replies... I read the follow up and it made a lot more sense than the OP... So stand up with confidence in your opinion AND make it clearly, the first time EX: Florida Chris ‪@chrislongview.bsky.social‬

Starting to think these guys may not be entirely on the level.

On brand. Disaster relief will now be a personal favor from the President to communities that pledge loyalty. Be grateful if you're from a (relatively) non-disaster prone part of the country.

DOGGETT: Are you sharing any information with DOGE for this omnibus information sharing agreement where they seem to probe into the privacy of every American? BESSENT: We are following all of the laws D: I would appreciate an answer to my question

So ABC’s official position is that Stephen Miller does not have hate in his heart?

More than two dozen journalists have been injured or roughed up while covering protests against immigration raids in Los Angeles, leading press freedom groups to question whether law enforcement has been deliberately targeting reporters on the story. apnews.com/article/immi...

Sen. Durbin: "Your budget cuts 2/3 of the money for defense health research. How can that be consistent with our mutual goal of making the military life a safer life for our men and women in uniform?" Hegseth: "We're talking about ... marbles in the rear ends of cats. Tens of millions of dollars."

Why is ICE arresting employees but not employers? DOJ policy is to charge the most culpable people. The employers would seem to qualify.

Instead of using this money to fund, say, the National Weather Service right before hurricane season, they're using it to send Marines to Los Angeles. THIS is waste and abuse.

Every major Dem politician needs to realize that, in this environment, they can schedule a "speech to the nation," like Newsom did, and get tons of media coverage. Just do it.

WATCH: “Holy f*ck — They literally just shot her point blank… I live here…” @lapdhq shoot a woman trying to get to her apartment at point blank range with a rubber bullet. Alexandria’s page (the woman who helps her): www.tiktok.com/@labyrinthlo...

Trump giving a partisan political speech on a military base to active duty troops, something that George Washington said in his farewell address to the nation that a president should never do. bsky.app/profile/atru...

The Mayor of LA has issued a curfew tonight — not because the citizens are out of control BUT BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT IS.

Breaking: Gov. Gavin Newsom condemns Trump's deployment of troops in a televised address: "This brazen abuse of power by a sitting president inflamed a combustible situation, putting our people, our officers and even our National Guard at risk."

There’s obviously a lot going on right now, but the Speaker of the House calling for the Governor of California to be tortured seems like it should be a pretty big story.
