We're all living in the danger zone. What the hell is going on and why!

Cruel and Dangerous… The Trump administration just announced it’s shutting all Job Corps centers nationwide by June 30—no warning, no plan, just blindsiding students and families. Any thought given to the lives this disrupts? Any thought given to the skilled labor shortage this will make worse?

"California Republican Reps. David Valadao and Young Kim's districts are among the highest Medicaid enrollment rates in the state. In an April 14 letter, both said they were against the bill if it included Medicaid cuts — but then they voted for the bill anyway..." www.sfgate.com/politics/art...

Here- first teaser. Much more to come…

With Palantir finally receiving the attention it deserves, we wrote an article documenting Thiel’s history with Zuckerberg, his influence over JD Vance, and the connection between his neoreactionary ideology and Russell Vought’s Project 2025. It has always been Thiel’s plan to destroy democracy.

This will be used in tracking everything from our political affiliation, how we voted, monies in our accounts, pensions, investments …. They are enabled to steal our money, police records, claim we are domestic terrorists because we are dissidents … Only a matter of time before they come for us.

Republicans have a new slogan for Iowa. 😬🥴😵‍💫 #JoniErnstSucks

Federal officers entered Rep. Jerry Nadler’s office in Lower Manhattan on Wednesday and handcuffed and briefly detained one of his aides. The confrontation happened shortly after the aide observed federal agents detaining migrants in a public hallway outside an immigration courtroom.

Pay attention to this one… They’re all in it together, and they already have our personal data— to build a massive database to track every single one of us. But tell me again that TikTok is the security risk we should be worried about!

Rep James Talarico exposed the truth behind Texas Republicans’ SB13: it’s not about “filth”, it’s about fear. The bill could ban Romeo & Juliet, Catcher in the Rye, even Lonesome Dove. They’re scrubbing shelves clean of anything that challenges, questions, or educates aka racism & ignorance.

Reminder: Joni Ernst is up for reelection

This clip you MUST LISTEN to...and share Palantir is owned by Peter Thiel This database will track ALL OF US All of your private information And how to find you America, this is dangerous

Against all odds, Joni Ernst has made it worse

He literally pays people to curate his news so he only sees the good stuff and now he has the sads because he didn’t know about TACO. He’s so embarrassing.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders was once politely asked to leave a restaurant and it generated 100x as much handwringing from the media as this will

Contempt charges, come on

Times like these, I am reminded of a line from Edmund Burke: I hope they get every disease and die shitting.

If the BBB gets through the Senate, there will be no more court rulings to stop the regime. Court orders will no longer apply to FOTUS, nor to other government officials. Think about this: Stephen Miller, Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, et al, will all have free reign to completely take over our lives.

Pure AWESOMENESS…👇 Pass. It. On. 😎✨

The Democrat’s top line ad theme for the midterms…

"Well, we are all going to die." --Senator Joni Ernst That has to be the glibbest way any politician has ever told a constituent that they didn’t give a shit about them.

In San Antonio today, plainclothes ICE officers (not masked this time) arrested, handcuffed, and zip-tied a family of five (yes, ALL of them, including the little children) coming out of their immigration court hearing — which ICE had just had dismissed. www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/a...

If you know anything about RFK Jr the fact that he falsified the MAHA report should not surprise you in the least.

I was on WGN talking … LAWLESS! wgntv.com/midday-news/...

No matter how many studies prove them wrong, the government is going to continue to operate under the false assumption that immigrants are more likely to commit crimes—that means subjecting them to extreme surveillance measures without probable cause.

It’s been around since 1983.

Just a matter of time before it reaches us. History repeating. www.wapt.com/article/new-...

Fiona Hill: "The United States is on a path toward full-on state repression."

Hey @nytimes.com, we fixed your headline! CDC doesn't have a Director so they cannot accept or implement changes to vaccine schedules. Tomorrow, we'll be going over why it matters if CDC recommends a vaccine or not and how this process usually works.

NEW: The US government has collected DNA samples from 133,000+ migrant children and teenagers and uploaded them into CODIS, a national criminal database originally built for convicted sex offenders and violent criminals, according to documents reviewed by WIRED.

There's now an 80 percent chance we'll pass the 1.5 degree rise in the next five years. Since the US has abandoned efforts to combat climate change, it's up to the states of #Cascadia, including Washington and Oregon, to do more on our own.

About to go on Substack Live with @franifio.bsky.social to discuss The Great MAGA Male Meltdown featuring Dan Bongino, Jordan Peterson, Musk and Trump. They're making whining great again, folks. Sometimes, we can have nice things. Join us at 6:05 pm ET on the App thelefthook.substack.com

I don’t think people really understand the magnitude of these numbers that get tossed around. 1 Million seconds = 11.5 Days 1 Billion seconds = 31.6 Years 1 Trillion seconds = 31,600 Years Now put that into dollars.

Scoop: Texas police used Flock's license plate cameras to search *nationwide* for a woman who had a self-managed abortion. Claim it was "about her safety" www.404media.co/a-texas-cop-...

How does this Make America Healthy Again?
