Watching Truth Social posts by Trump every hour, each more insane & unhinged than the previous one as he circles the drain of a malignant narcissist’s descent into dementia, makes it that much more ridiculous that media just spent a month on Biden while pretending Trump is sane.

BREAKING: Trump’s Mobile Phone is no longer claiming to be Made in America. OF Course the president who champions American Manufacturing just did a bait and switch! krassencast.com/p/trumps-mob...

The President of the United States said fuck today, on camera, in front of the whole world. The American Press is behaving as tho he did not break this barrier. I know part of why he went off, LOOK AT THE HATE ON HIS FACE, he did it because a female reporter asked him the question. I can assure you.

I'm trying to think of a time when such boneheaded people were making such consequential decisions for our country. Nothing comes to mind. They make even George W. Bush look almost competent.

I can’t speak for every city, but here in LA, ICE bounty hunters aren’t going after gang members. They’re hunting the vulnerable: gardeners, street vendors, day laborers. Easy money, no risk. Folks need to stop pretending this is about crime. @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social—thank you for your words.

Barron Trump is listed as a “co-founder” of World Liberty Financial alongside the president, as well as Eric and Donald Trump Jr, the president’s two eldest sons. The 19-year-old New York University student could have picked $40 million, $25 million after taxes. #Corrupt nypost.com/2025/06/20/b...

AOC: Being taken is wrong, it is illegal, it is a violation of his First Amendment rights, it is an affront to every American, and we will not allow—and will continue to resist—the politicization and the continued political persecution that ICE is engaged in.

No matter where someone was born, the United States should never tolerate inhumane treatment. Yet right now, detainees in ICE custody are facing conditions that are simply unacceptable in any country that claims to uphold human rights, let alone one that prides itself on freedom and the rule of law.

WE HAVE QUESTIONS… This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they? ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants. How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

Mark this for the history books: “We’re talking about the president exercising his authority, and the president is of course limited to his authority. That’s the difference between a constitutional government and King George,” said Judge Charles Breyer.

Farms in Florida are facing sudden labor shortages from both detentions and fear-related absences of undocumented farmworkers. This is leading to harvest losses due to agricultural produce going unpicked. In addition, local businesses tied to the farm industry are suffering from reduced activity.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work. You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules. Get your lies straight.
