I hope U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy does hold every single person involved in the illegal deportation of people to South Sudan against his injunction in contempt. These judges need to grow spines and hold people accountable.

Do people actually support this shit? It’s not a big leap to suspending YOUR rights once you allow them to start suspending other people’s

Biden Faces Mounting Pressure To Let Younger Democrat Battle Cancer

The Rules Committee meets at 1 AM on Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning to ram through this disastrous bill. Why? Because they don't want you to see them ripping healthcare from millions of Americans. You do not hold a hearing for a bill at 1 AM unless you're completely ashamed of it.

Hi, I’m God. I’m sorry that things are so bad. I tried so hard and got so far, but in the end, it doesn’t even matter. I regret free will daily. Love? God

Whoa! New polling shows that a majority of voters in EVERY SINGLE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT oppose cuts to Medicaid. Members of Congress should take note. ☎️ Flood the Capitol switchboard to voice your opposition to the bill from hell. 202-224-3121. Defend Medicaid! Defeat Cancer!

So ICE arrested a Black Mayor and wants to arrest Black members of Congress👿 Those motherfuckers are still in their feels cause they cannot get us to riot 🤣😂🤣

Remember that several people asked Pam Bondi during confirmation SPECIFICALLY what she would do on matters pertaining to Qatar (which she did not disclose) or GEO (pertinent to the Baraka arrest). She said she'd consult top career lawyer at DOJ abt recusal. Then she fired that lawyer.

If South Africa is a sovereign nation, how are we able to send our own planes we paid for to transport white Afrikaners to the U.S., but simultaneously unable to send a plane to return Abrego Garcia et al?

Duffy on the air traffic control system: "The lights are blinking, the sirens are turning ... what you see in Newark is gonna happen in other places across the country." Good luck, air travelers!

Stop calling this gaudy plane a "gift"--it is a bribe. And transferring ownership to Trump's nonexistent "presidential library" is obviously tax fraud.

Such an important point from Doug Jones: “Deportation in American law allows for the ability to contest the arrest… That’s not what we’re seeing when college students are getting yanked off the streets…are sent—in violation of court orders to a prison in a foreign country. That is not deportation.”

Someone tell the NY Times that Hillary is accepting a plane from Qatar. Then maybe they’ll stop being pussies and start covering it for the corruption that it is.

Pope Leo XIV used his first Sunday address to the faithful to call for peace. “Never again war,” he said to a roar from the crowd in St. Peter’s Square.

I'm still not clear why the @nytimes.com went along the idea that a presidential library owning a jet for the personal use of the ex-president was anything that real presidential libraries do. Weird.

Bribery in plain sight.

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?

Defendants are presumed innocent unless convicted. Every US Atty (or so I thought) knows you can’t weigh in on guilt like this.

These are not serious people. I may make that my password.

Tim Pool, named in an indictment on Russian Active influencers who allegedly received money from the Kremlin, is now granted access as a legit member of the press during White House press briefings. Every fucking legit journalist should walk out and not come back. This is Russia State TV.

Tesla profits fell 71% to $409 million compared to $1.39 billion during the same quarter one year ago 😑 www.nbcnews.com/business/bus...

Justices Barrett & Kavanaugh signaled they may side with the Court’s 3 liberals to uphold ACA’s requirement that insurers cover preventive care. That could mean at least 5 votes to preserve part of Obamacare—even as RFK Jr’s HHS tries to gut it in Kennedy v. Braidwood.

Are you seeing this?

This is known as a “Holy Ghost”

Honestly, I have to say a big fuck you to anyone who even remotely implied that @vanhollen.senate.gov’s trip was “pointless.” This is what leadership looks like. Maybe you can learn a thing or two.

SURPRISE!!!! The NYT did an analysis of the press room and exposes how Karoline Leavitt relies on planted stooges in the room to throw propaganda soft balls she uses to lie to the public. This is how authoritarian states are run.

Rep. Gabe Amo is right: The GOP’s budget slashes $230B from SNAP and $800B from Medicaid—ripping food and healthcare from working families—while handing *over $1 TRILLION* to the top 1%. This isn’t a budget. It’s a heist. #BillionaireTaxBailout

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

Like I want to remind people, that there was a literal 9-0 SCOTUS ruling about this. Even Alito couldn't twist some madness to support DOJ here.

Be aware. Please share.
