GOP Senator Rand Paul: “Once this bill votes, and this debt ceiling goes through, the debt is owned by the GOP, and there is no more campaigning and saying 'This is the Democrats.' It will be owned by the Republicans”

Here I sit, broken hearted Came to post, but can’t get started Reading through the damned TL Seems the world has gone to hell

I sure as hell have noticed. How about you? 🤨

She’s truly mentally ill.

The Congressional Cemetery in Washington, D.C., includes a section of graves of LGBTQ Americans. We take a pride month tour.

NEW: Records of hundreds of emergency calls from ICE detention centers obtained by WIRED—including audio recordings—show a system inundated by life-threatening incidents, delayed treatment, and overcrowding. Unpaywalled from @dell.bsky.social and @dmehro.bsky.social:

Such a good point on SCOTUS hypocrisy when it comes to Trump vs Biden: They let a nationwide injunction kill Biden’s student loan relief when they had a chance to rule on it. 5 months into Trump’s presidency, suddenly nationwide injunctions are a grave threat to executive power and they must rule.

One of the latest Trump administration tactics in its war against colleges and universities is to use extortion tactics to force the resignation of presidents so that MAGA political hacks can take their place. www.ft.com/content/d44a...

Yeah same. Seems very different from the days when Ginsburg and Scalia would disagree on the bench, but then go to the opera together.

The USA is SERIOUSLY BROKEN! WE THE PEOPLE should consider FIXING THIS! #USDemocracy

The Trump lawyer on Jeffrey Epstein’s list who was accused of raping kids, is arguing again that it should be legal to have sex with kids. And Republicans want to ban Pride flags to “protect kids” instead of locking up their pedophiles.

Flatmate *reading a recipe* Step one Me: "cut a hole in a box" Her: ??? Me: *sigh* hold on lemme get my phone. *An hour later* Flatmate 🎶it's my dick in a box🎵🎶

President Biden traveled to Minnesota today to pay his respect to assassinated Rep. Melissa Hortman and comfort her family. tRamp has remained silent. Thankful for a real President like Joe Biden 🇺🇸

A woman screams as she’s kidnapped by men in construction gear—no badges, no ID. Another witness sees them leaving a federal building in the same outfits. This isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sanctioned abduction. Costumes are the cover. No one questions a man in a hard hat. That’s the point.

They bend every law, they break every law, they hack voting machines, they deploy roving gangs of thugs to steal people off the street, they openly embrace racism, they lie nonstop, they incite political violence, and much more. Their evil knows no limits. Then they claim to be followers of Jesus.

He flew there to pay his respects.

I just can’t get over how broken the federal courts are as a result of today’s ruling. Citizenship depending on which county your in? The president openly ignoring the Constitution, knowing the victims can’t enforce their rights? A million potential federal plaintiffs with trivial claims?

I spider dropped from the ceiling and bounced off my shoulder onto the floor. I named him Gary. Funeral is at 5.

🚨NEW: The Trump admin moves to terminate Temporary Protected Status for HALF A MILLION Haitians, claiming despite all reality that Haiti is a safe country to return to — even though large portions of the country are ruled by vicious gangs and civil governance has collapsed.

If the US begins mass denaturalizations, European countries with big migrant populations should fast track denaturalized Americans. 3 reasons: 1. Trump is immensely unpopular in Europe. 2. It captures economic output the US lost. 3. It would be a gut punch to white nationalists.

Zohran: Imagine living in a city where you can afford your rent, your groceries and even a meal at a restaurant now and then without much stress Eric Adams: Imagine a platypus so powerful that it could destroy the city. We need more cops

They're protesting for their lives. How dare they want to live!

We told y’all who were telling us that defunding the police to build communities was too radical. And we told you their threat won’t stay with us. Now they’re zip-tying grandma

PAM BONDI is a real piece of work

Does he hear himself?

This should be a giant story. The POTUS* shouldn't give anyone permission to bomb a US military base, but Trump is a traitor owned by Putin Where are you, @msnbc.com?

they are open bigots and Obergefell is next

Anyone have an explanation for why SCOTUS did this? This NPR article doesn’t provide any analysis as to why.

America I need a rest. Following your descent into autocracy is making me ill. So for now I am giving up. Good luck and I hope you survive as the great nation you once was.

I can't stand his lying. THATS ALL HE DOES

This is extraordinarily corrupt. But I still think he’s far more malevolent and sociopathic than merely corrupt.

SCOTUS limits judges' power to halt Trump's birthright citizenship order 'Universal injunctions likely exceed the equitable authority that Congress has given to federal courts' They declined taking up the central issue of birthright citizenship being enshrined in the 14th Amendment 🤬 1/2

We have to assume it's going to be 100x's worse than what we think is the very worst because that's what it will be. I thought separating families and putting them in cages was the worst that could happen and look at what's happening now.

The Supreme Court just decided that the Constitution means nothing to them. Now it’s on. Get ready.
