ACLU: “Trump's deployment of federalized National Guard troops in response to protests is unnecessary, inflammatory, and an abuse of power. By taking this action, the Trump administration is… recklessly undermining our foundational democratic principle that the military should not police civilians"

Never forget that the same man who called the January 6th insurrection a “beautiful day of love” and refused to lift a finger for 187 minutes to stop the horror unleashed on our Capitol has deployed the National Guard to intervene in Los Angeles to “address the lawlessness in California.”

Check out the part where the White House says they have zero tolerance for violence against law enforcement. They left out a footnote: Except for pardoning people who did that on J6.

More than 9,000 American service members are buried at Normandy, where they died to protect democracy. We owe not just gratitude, but eternal vigilance to them and all who have sacrificed their lives for our country. #MemorialDay

A cast bronze memorial to the police officers who defended the Capitol on Jan. 6 declares that "their heroism will never be forgotten." But the memorial itself has been forgotten, left in storage because Johnson's office has not had it hung @joeheim.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

US "silence" encouraging Putin, says Zelensky, after Russia launches record air assault: cnn.it/4mBeFAo

Donald Trump’s traitorous presidency, undeserved occupation of the Oval Office, and very repugnant presence in the highest seat of power in America are a massive middle finger to those we honor on #MemorialDay who died so that we could endure. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/donald-tru...

Frost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but the United States congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never forget this.

Trump is president of Crazytown & he happens to also be president of the USA. There's no white genocide occurring n South Africa. This is a bogus conspiracy theory spread by white nationalists. It's part of Trump's war on woke and his desire to Make America White Again. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

When you take healthcare from 14 million Americans, which this bill does, people will die. When you take billions from hospitals, some will close. This is a terrible bill.

Some of the CDC's main channels for communicating urgent health information to the public have gone silent.

The GOP's budget would make brutal cuts to food assistance and our colleagues won't shield veterans from their cruelty. Veterans are not waste. They're not fraud. And they're not abuse.

This should be the end of Noem’s career in public life. It almost certainly won’t be, however, which is itself damning.
