Now we know why Anna Wintour threw her office keys onto the desk, grabbed her handbag, slid on her sunglasses, and marched out of the building.

They are sending roving bands of masked thugs with the stated goal of kidnapping 20 million brown people to transport them to any country they can pay to take them. All this has been cleared by The Stolen Court. This is not deportation. This is ethnic cleansing.

There are only three political positions in America today 1) I like the fascism 2) I'll acquiesce to the fascism (reasons for this one vary: cowardice, access, denial, misguidedly thinking that acquiescence is savvy, etc) 3) I oppose the fascism The rest is details

Mark and Melissa lie peacefully at the center of our state and our hearts today. Their memorial, guarded by service dogs and men and women in uniform, casts a momentary shadow over L'Étoile du Nord as we honor their life’s work to make Minnesota shine brighter for all.

Sometimes the bad thing is exactly as bad as the thing seems and trying to tell people "it's not that bad" isn't being *postive,* it's just normalizing the incredibly bad thing.

I’m deeply saddened by the passing of Jacob Taylor, a USPS letter carrier in Dallas who served our community with dedication. My heart goes out to his family, loved ones, and the entire USPS community. May he rest in peace, and may his service never be forgotten.

Beloit, WI revitalized its waterfront and chose this way to celebrate it: by bringing to life Georges Seurat's "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte."

Sen. Booker to Bove: There are complaints that pre-date your judicial nomination by years about you being so intoxicated with power and your supervisors were warned that you are a liability to the office. There are multiple reports of your abuse of power.

FEMA funds are now going to fund concentration camps in the everglades instead of helping people after a natural disaster. Seems all the rightwing conspiracy theories about FEMA building camps was projection all along.

Ted Cruz just said Mr. Abrego has been charged with Human Trafficking. Cruz proclaims "I read every word of that indictment!" Apparently not, because Abrego was not charged with human trafficking. I hope this comes up in a motion to dismiss the charges.

Trump claimed the Iranians didn't have time to move the uranium, but that's false. They certainly did; they knew he might attack, & the material's volume was small enough to fit in a car. Furthermore, trucks were observed entering and exiting the main site in the days leading up to the attack.

RFK JR: Another study shows the covid vaccine leads to an increase in miscarriage. There's no safety data for it, so we're not gonna recommend it. KELLY: Not true. We had a pediatrician that is on that committee. Not true.

CARTER: How could you possibly justify the decision to terminate HIV vaccines studies? RFK JR: We've been promising an HIV vaccine since 1984 and every year Congress pours money into it CARTER: Because they haven't come up with one, you then cut the forward motion by getting rid of NIH dollars?

There’s a growing problem you’re not supposed to question: masked agents detaining migrants. Not in war zones...here...on U.S. soil. When power hides its face...it stops being accountable. When you can’t ID authority...you can’t challenge it. 1/5 🧵

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

Today marks the third anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. What's happened since? A record number of women have been prosecuted. Pregnancy loss is now considered extremely suspicious, even when it has nothing to do with abortion.

I didn’t have the Supreme Court destroying the authority of federal district courts on my bingo card. But in retrospect that’s perhaps where all this shadow docket decision-making was going all along. Really scary stuff.

The fact that our military was perfectly happy to use weapons abroad in violation of the War Powers Act doesn't bode well for us when they are asked to use weapons at home in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act.

Congress didn’t just lose its power it gave it away. On war, trade, and policy, lawmakers have willingly let the executive branch rule unchecked.
