He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore. Make it make sense.

If you’re an American should watch the Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown ep on Iran. A deeply humanizing look at a country full of people just like you and me. I watched it after Anthony died and it moved in ways that are hard to relay. I also immediately ran out to try kabob koobideh and tahdig.

All the hawks who led US into the disastrous war in Iraq and Afghanistan fell up in life. They're still on TV and writing columns and advising elected officials. Very few ever apologized. The same people are here now as Trump leads US into another reckless war with Iran.

Jelani Cobb, Dean of the Columbia Journalism School, draws a historical comparison to the Fugitive Slave Act and that of the ongoing ICE raids. The Fugitive Slave Act brought our country to the precipice of the Civil War.

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

HAWLEY: Let's see the Trump chart. You don't think it's a little bit anomalous that Trump has so many more nationwide injunctions against him? KATE SHAW: A very plausible explanation you have to consider is that he's engaged in much more lawless activity than other presidents

The fact that Fort Worth Texas has a back log of over 900 rape kits they 'don't have time' to test, but Texas Sheriffs did have the time to spend a month tracking a woman who MIGHT have been going out of state for an abortion tells you all you need to know about what Texas thinks about women..

“1 out of every 5 dollars in Medicaid is improper” 1 out of every 5 Americans uses Medicaid and it still costs the federal government half of what our defense budget does. The actual data shows <2% of Medicaid spending is considered improper, and the majority of that is not on the beneficiary side.

What infuriates me so much about this new operation is that it is literally punishing people for following the rules and showing up to their court hearings. It is so toxic to the basic concept of following the rules. It is an operation designed by people who hate the concept of the rule of law.

TACO takes Trump's own weapon of choice, the intimidating threat, and exposes it as nothing more than empty performance art. Trump wants us to see strength. TACO shows us weakness. Trump seeks to project dominance. TACO reveals his cowardice. www.theframelab.org/taco-the-fra...

Here’s the thing, if they are picking up folks working in the country illegally, I’m going to need to see some white guys also being arrested for employing people working illegally in the country. Otherwise, it’s just racism.

TD COWEN: “Given Trump's public ire against previous court rulings and the press questions on May 28 around the 'TACO' narrative emerging in the media (Trump Always Chickens Out), we would not be surprised to see a meaningful tariff escalation/response from the White House sooner rather than later."

Now that we know the TACO thing bugs the fuck out of Trump, a coherent left media machine would swing into action & make sure that every single left-of-center person on a TV shore or podcast used that term repeatedly for the next several weeks, making it inescapable.
