And now our government “disappears” people.

The orange nemesis now wants to make people disappearing legally

Senator Banks is a piece of 💩!

🤔

On November 3rd, Donny made this 'promise.' One of MANY hollow, fake, bullsh*t promises that he knew were lies but said anything to get back in the oval office. It's unfortunate that Americans believed this and decided to give him another go at ruining our country.

The LAUSD program that provides free working instruments and was featured in the Oscar-winning doc 'The Last Repair Shop' receives $1 million to safeguard its future. Yo-Yo Ma marks the occasion with a mini concert with kids.

Federal government researchers spent years building a searchable database with more than a million documents about #ResidentialSchools. But First Nations looking for lost children can’t get access to it. Read the latest story in our series. buff.ly/ZQMBcBJ #RSHiddenStories #cdnpoli

The Justice Department has directed prosecutors to stop pursuing litigation against people committing fraud with digital currency, the latest example of the Trump administration easing up on white-collar crime enforcement.

A gun control group backed by Michael Bloomberg, the former New York mayor, plans to spend $10 million to help elect Democratic attorneys general this year and in 2026, an investment it says is meant to help protect the rule of law and democracy while President Trump holds the White House.

These bastards ought to be jailed for impersonating law enforcement. 🤬

tRUMP has been doing a flying back & forth from FL to DC and back for golfing and entertaining Russian... er.. foreign "friends." As to Musk's hat in the photo, tRUMP was never right about anything. That saying is a conspiracy nut's self soothing attempt.

BREAKING: The head of the $42 billion federal BEAD program that aims to bring broadband internet to rural and unserved areas has left the Commerce Dept. He sent a departing email warning of "deeply negative outcomes" for people if the Trump admin shifts $$ from fiber internet to Musk's Starlink:

At least 19 states, all of whom with Democratic attorneys general, presented “undisputed evidence” they were not receiving FEMA funds already appropriated by Congress.

Productive Life Mantra:

In the US we call them coffee tables. Just the difference in what the majority drink. Now I'm wondering if rednecks call them beer tables... or bars. 🤔

Uh oh. Red states are starting to feel the pain. Trump’s massive federal cuts are leaving communities high and dry. Cue the part where Republicans start to give a damn. Trump did that 👇

@booker.senate.gov: "For a guy who spends the weekend on his golf course and brags to the media about him winning a tournament while the struggling-- this is the kind of gross arrogance of a Marie Antoinette saying, "let them eat cake" ... Screw him for telling people to accept pain."

Foster care agencies in Pa. took millions owed to kids in their care, often keeping them in the dark— via @spotlightpa.org www.spotlightpa.org/news/2025/04...

Going from Yellen to Bessent is emblematic of the downgrades we’ve seen. We went from having one of the most knowable, capable people to ever hold her position to a venal, foul little quisling who has no qualms about lying in service of ruining the global economy.

There is a special kind of friendship that feels effortless - where silence is comforting and words are not always needed to understand each other. It's the kind of connection that remains unshaken by time or distance, and grows stronger no matter what life brings.

Especially if someone has lost all their personal belongings in a flood, fire, tornado or hurricane.

If you’re gonna argue that a 20% drop in the stock market is a good thing, please go to the bank, withdraw 20% of your $, and send it to me! 😎✨

The SAVE Act is a poll tax on women. Pass it on.

US Naval Academy library yanks Maya Angelou's memoir and keeps “Mein Kampf.” Seriously??? Again, WTF country are we living in????

These people making these arbitrary cuts have no idea as to what agencies and their staff actually do. It's like having 4th graders in charge of government "efficiency." 🙄

That notice sounds like it was written by one of those Indian IRS scammers except it's not asking you for money. Disgusting!

Garcia: She's playing cosplaying as an ice agent, running around the country, going down to El Salvador, to prisons. You know, holding guns, dressing up. She is a joke

Just a few months ago a town in the mid-west was saying how they were gearing up for the tourist season. I think they're going to be a little - no, a lot - disappointed. Even more red states have newly joined the "fly-over" and "Do not visit" states lists.

If Kristi Noem can go down to El Salvador and take concentration camp selfies, then DOJ can figure out where Abrego Garcia is. Just start jailing people for contempt of court until they find out.

Nicole Malliotakis still hasn’t held a town hall. We’re inviting her - again - but don’t hold your breath. You can show up though! Let’s talk about what matters most in #NY11. 4/23 in Bay Ridge, BK. 7-830. @indivisible.org www.mobilize.us/indivisiblen...

Hope this helps.

I hope they read through everything with a fine-tooth comb to make sure there are no loopholes. A law in haste is a law in waste.

We have a big announcement! CLASP’s Board of Trustees is proud to announce Wendy Chun-Hoon as our next president and executive director, starting May 15, 2025. She brings decades of experience in advancing racial, gender, and economic justice! www.clasp.org/press-room/p...

Indeed! The last I've seen anything about it was (checks notes) March 30th! How fast that was glossed over by the media.

Science does not work like this. The only way you can set a timeline is if you have rigged the results in advance.

how it started, how it’s going

Good to see Val Kilmer getting his rightful dues for Heat on here (the film not even mentioned on the BBC Breakfast tribute). It's a great movie and given he was lining up with Di Niro and Pacino, Kilmer more than held his own.

"A vast majority of Georgian people want Georgia to join the European Union. We call on the authorities to demonstrate a genuine and irreversible commitment to returning to the EU path." Joint statement by HR/VP @kajakallas.bsky.social & Cmmsr @martakos.ec.europa.eu: europa.eu/!PXr7KY

Every one of those who ever voted to approve anything tRUMP wanted are just as guilty for what is happening to the USA. Don't ever forget that! The excuse, "I have concerns" but still voting for his agenda is but a deflection away their true support of him & what he's trying to do. Don't be fooled!

tRUMP ought to be declared a 'persona non-grata' in all countries - especially where he has golf courses, hotels or anything with his name on it.
