Hey, so, this is a thing. The Police are the ones setting the fires they are reporting about and they managed to get thid one on camera. #resist #wtf #fdt #tacotuesday #chickentacos #thisisamerica #useyourvoice #speakup

Trump almost face plants today.

Happening now: in Chicago, activists are holding a rally in Pilsen this afternoon in opposition to CPD's collaboration with ICE earlier this week at an immigration check-in site.

To be clear, this is what an insurrection looks like:

The fires are so extensive across Manitoba, Saskatchewan & Ontario currently that there are not enough air crafts to rescue remote Native Canadians. I am sending an SOS to every nation to help save the lives of people who are going to burn alive. Literally. Canada needs evacuation assistance.

Terry Moran should have ABC News pay out his contract, immediately leave, start his own channel or newsletter, make twice as much and be respected while most of his colleagues go down in history as complicit bootheels and cowards. That would be my advice, but alas.

Trump nearly falls flat on his face while struggling to walk up the steps to Air Force One today

This skateboarder kid represents true US resistance vs the Trump regime's fascist authoritarianism attacking US cities and communities nationwide. Dozens of regime ICE troops assaulted him and he still came out on top. #3E #StopICE (📹 @jeremotographs.bsky.social )

From a week and a half ago: “As of Monday, the model shows, about 96,000 adults and 200,000 children have died because of the administration’s cutbacks to funding for aid groups and support organizations. The overall death count grows by 103 people an hour.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

FOTUS is deploying the military to attack citizens who are peacefully protesting. Just like millions of us will be doing for NO KINGS Day next Saturday. He is using this tactic to scare us. No way! We will not be deterred. See you on the streets America! #FOTUSIsACriminal

He shouldn’t have taken the post down. He’s a reporter. And he was reporting facts.

While boarding Air Force One at Morristown Municipal Airport (New Jersey) a short time ago, Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio both tripped on the stairs. Anyone want to wager if Fox News or Newsmax will run this pool footage on a loop, as they did more than once with President Biden?

Is this just kind of like repeat it until you believe it yourself? Your boss pardoned everyone who assaulted law enforcement on January 6th. Ass!!!

I’m old enough to remember he resisted sending troops for this

ICE arrested former Afghan Nat'l Army soldier—our ally against Taliban—at his home in TX. He entered legally and atty says he has no criminal record. Was applying for asylum. Appears to be casualty of Trump decision de-documenting legal Afghan immigrants www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/new...

Crowds of brave people have surrounded the ICE detention centre in Los Angeles. They are trying to liberate victims kidnapped by Trump’s regime forces. Victims were abducted and thrown into the basement of the building without due process. #3E

Banks are aiming to issue cryptocurrency. Lawmakers just put a line in the GENIUS Act saying when a bank issuing crypto goes bankrupt, crypto investors get paid before regular depositors. In other words: your savings account becomes crypto’s bailout fund. www.levernews.com/cryptos-new-...

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio tried to give a press conference to announce his lawsuit against DOJ. Much to my surprise it turned out to be the greatest press conference of all-time.

DEAN: Do you know when this country actually had a trade surplus? LUTNICK: About a hundred years ago DEAN: It was during the Great Depression. That's a direction none of us wants to go.

Chicago fighting back against ICE. You love to see it 💪

CHICAGOIANS STANDING UP TO ICE!! Don’t let them erase this. Share this everywhere!

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."

Just a reminder even though he opposed the bill NOW, AFTER it passed, Elon Musk is not a good guy. He wants MORE cut out of what you need. This is a guy that’s a billionaire for one reason: the US Govt tax breaks and financing

Q: “Are you worried your vote to gut Medicaid will shutter hospitals in your district?” @RepTimBurchett: *insults the young man personally again, hi-fives a guy holding a sign calling him a ‘genocide whore’* Burchett is a walking rejected ‘Veep’ character. Beneath the office.

🎉🥳👏🏻🥳🎉👏🏻🥳 Big cheers to Gus Walz on his graduation! With his proud parents by his side and that big heart of his shining through, this moment is pure gold. His drive, kindness, and spirit inspire us all. We love that about you, Gus — go chase those dreams! 🌟👨‍🎓💙📸

BREAKING: Judge Boasberg GRANTS class certification for the people held at CECOT and gives the government ONE WEEK to explain how they're going to facilitate due process for EVERYONE sent there under the Alien Enemies Act. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

A third of West Virginians are on expanded Medicaid via Obamacare. West Virginia is 90% White, non-Hispanic.

And: “officials knew that only 32 of the deportees had been convicted of U.S. crimes and that most were nonviolent offenses, such as retail theft or traffic violations.”

Lawrence O'Donnell had some sharp words for Jake Tapper and CNN last night.

CSPAN could go public and become the media play of the century if it started covering Congress like this. ht: @repmoskowitz.bsky.social
