Philly local tv station reporting that a man allegedly posed as an ICE agent in order to rob a car repair business office. How many other criminals might be getting this idea right now, given that actual ICE agents are refusing to show IDs, warrants, badges?

The US has a gun death rate 13x that of peer nations. This crisis demands urgent action. We refuse to stand by while lives are taken by preventable gun violence every single day. #WearOrange

This statement from Jonathan Joss's husband is heart breaking. No, headline writers, he wasn't "killed in an argument with a neighbor." He was *deliberately murdered* for being gay right after his dog was decapitated. Bet the murderer calls himself a "Christian." THIS is why Pride is important.

Tough week for #drummers. Zak Starkey again fired from The Who, Josh Freese fired from the Foo Fighters. I guess it's a good thing I wasn't asked to join a couple of my old bandmates in their new band, or I'd likely have been fired this week, too!

Okay, MSM political reporters, gather around: see this? Clearly Republicans didn't mean anything they said about Hunter Biden. Clearly they do not have any real objections to nepotism or graft. Clearly their stated principles are bullshit. Can y'all maybe remember that? Next time a D is in office?

Honestly? The $400M plane from Qatar is quaint compared to his crypto scam, memecoin con, insider trading, and tariff shakedowns.

The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents. What the fuck are we doing here?

Having now watched the footage and interview two of the members who were there, the amount of armed, masked federal agents surrounding three members of Congress and a mayor outside the ICE facility was totally unnecessary; the only possible reason for it was intentional escalation and intimidation.

It's tough to refer to someone as a criminal if you've given them no due process to determine whether they're a criminal. Like if you get arrested and get a trial and are convicted of 34 felony counts. That's due process. You can call that guy a criminal.

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

Shout out to all the finance bros who didn’t give a shit about democracy, human rights, racism, homophobia, misogyny, the future of the planet or basic human decency and voted for the conman they thought was gonna be good for the economy. You guys are geniuses.

Sanders: Tariffs used selectively are a good idea if they're going to protect American jobs. But to arbitrarily, out of nowhere, come up with a tariff that they can't even justify or explain to virtually every country on Earth is absolutely counterproductive

Why would any country trust Washington when the rules change with every presidential mood swing? California is a stable, reliable partner for international trade and investment — and the Golden State will always be open for business.
