Senator dared to question the Empire, directly, and was met with force. Stormtroopers didn’t hesitate. They grabbed him, cuffed him, dragged him away like a dissident, claiming he “failed to identify himself.” But everyone knew who he was. He was a Senator.

It is actually nuts that even when the NYC political establishment was presented with a broad field of talented candidates w/ many ideas, in a time of generational change & anti-corruption, they STILL chose to line up behind scandal-ridden Andrew Cuomo. It’s cowardice.

You know how Waze basically crowd-sourced real-time location alerts for speed traps and accidents? Someone should make a similar app that crowd-sources real-time location alerts for ICE agent activity. And make the app free for everyone.

Don't let them lie to you about Senator Padilla. DHS is claiming the agents DID NOT KNOW he was a senator. He CLEARLY says (BEFORE he is tackled and cuffed) "I am Senator Alex Padilla and I have a question for the secretary."

As someone who lives in Los Angeles, don’t let social or mainstream media gaslight you into thinking there’s a violent uprising taking place here. The Trump administration is trying to punish this state and this city. He’s also setting a precedent to unleash troops on Democratic cities.

This acrimonious divorce is entertaining to watch and all, but no, I'm still NOT buying or leasing a Tesla or using Starlink.

Chris Murphy: "We can't be preparing for the 2026 election. It might not come. All of our focus right now has to be on protecting the democracy, about stopping the corruption."

The analysis by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office also found that the version of the bill passed by the House last month would lead to nearly 11 million people going uninsured.

Blueberry tart with a buttery cornmeal crust a-la Alison Roman . This has become a seasonal favorite here at our house. . #homecooking #desserts

Elon Musk is now trying to claim he doesn’t do drugs. Here’s our response @nytimes.com

The beginnings of poulet a la moutarde. With a side dish of smashed new potatoes with parmigiano reggiano. Stupid me forgot to film the rest of the cooking process and the final dish. Haha. #homecooking #frenchfood

GOP Sen. Joni Ernst responds to voters saying that cutting Medicaid will kill them: “Well, we all are going to die.”

NEW: Everything wrong in America is because of the ultra-wealthy. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/its-the-ol...

Maybe I should start watching Formula 1. Because, you know, Charles Leclerc. Haha

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. They're trying to get away with it again.

My first galette. The filling is maitake and oyster mushrooms, Polish bacon, leeks, onions, and garlic. The crust is @conleyannekitchen 's sourdough discard crust recipe. I topped this with some dill after it came out of the oven. Excuse the odd shape. I'm still learning. #homecooking #homebaking

well i for one am shocked

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that will cut billions of dollars from Medicaid. Medicaid is a lifeline for millions of people across the country, including more than 15 million people with disabilities. The Senate must reject this dangerous bill.

Republicans are about to strip 13.7 million Americans of healthcare so does anyone know where I can find some nonstop coverage about the previous president being old??

FACT CHECK: Habeas corpus is the centuries-old legal procedure that protects AGAINST unlawful imprisonment, and is a crucial part of our fundamental right to due process.

I made some vanilla ice cream recently. I used the @nytcooking ice cream base recipe. The mouthfeel is amazing, and the ice cream is delicious, but it's a tad too rich. Almost like a crème brûlée custard that didn't set, so you froze it instead. Will make it less rich next time. #icecream #dessert

Another small-batch chocolate chip cookie trial. Home baking is fun. And delicious. And fattening. lol #homebaking #baking #cookies

NEW: “By withdrawing the CFPB’s data broker rulemaking, the Trump administration is ensuring that Americans will continue to be bombarded by scam texts, calls and emails," says Sean Vitka, executive director of Demand Progress. A scoop:

Does this dinner count as keto? With an obscene amount of butter. Lol. Halibut poached in Beurre Blanc, oven roasted cabbage discs topped with compound butter (with chives, parsley, marjoram, dill, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, and Worcestershire). Yum yum! #homecooking #cooking

🇺🇸 “Rolling Stone reached out to all 53 GOP senators after the president said he didn't know whether he needs to honor the nation's founding document. None replied.” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Tried out a random Internet recipe for a (very) small batch of brown butter chocolate chip cookie. This was ok, but not my favorite. But I still ate it, of course. #homebaking #cookie

Dauphinoise? Gratin? Gratin dauphinoise? Whatever. It's delicious potatoes. Yum. #homecooking

Something I hope everyone covers this tomorrow notes is that...the President has no authority whatsoever to make trade deals without congress. None. Not even the pretext of one.

Agents descended on an attorney’s home, used an electronic jamming device to kill his Wi-Fi, disabled his Ring camera, and refused to show ID. All because he did some pro bono immigration work to help out an undocumented family. radleybalko.substack.com/p/the-courag...
