When NO KINGS reigns over your parade. #SAD 🤣

The "I'll lower costs and get us out of endless wars" candidate is now presiding over surging costs and brand new wars.

<thread> On the left: June 12, Judge Breyer writing that THE test for whether the US Marines/Guard violate Posse Comitatus will be whether they've engaged in "detaining" civilians. On the right: June 13: See for yourself. Note: The DoD has confirmed the detention of civilian to Reuters.

Guy on CNN about to pop a vein that even misdemeanors MUST BE PUNISHED. Remember when the Manhattan DA charges were filed against Trump and they *lost their effing minds* that these were “only” misdemeanors that had been bumped up to felonies? I just can’t

Trump said he would deport 11 million people and I guess his voters couldn’t visualize what that would look like? That’s the same amount of people who live in Iowa and Nebraska and Kansas and Arkansas combined…

The military isn’t being employed to carry out an immigration policy. The immigration policy, and especially the way the administration is choosing to carry it out, is an excuse to call out the military.

Important point… in case facts still matter…

How now-DHS Secretary Kristi Noem felt about a president potentially federalizing the National Guard one year ago:

California: More Gas Taxes

I learned a new word today. Also, two or more things can happen at once. As long as Musk receives DUE PROCESS, let the proceedings begin!

DEAN: What's the tariff on bananas? LUTNICK: Generally 10% DEAN: Walmart has already increased the cost of bananas by 8% LUTNICK: If you build in America, there is no tariff DEAN: We cannot build bananas in America

Perfect!

But climate change is a hoax?

"The Wake Forest Class of 1861 did not choose their time of calling. The Class of 1941 did not choose. The Class of 1968 did not choose. History chose them. And now history is calling you...." -Scott Pelley He was talking to all of us.

As the Trump administration slashes the federal workforce, experts say cuts to the USDA, FDA and CDC have left the food supply vulnerable to outbreaks of foodborne illness.

That's really not news. 😵‍💫 He has belonged to Putin for a LONG time.

Brain drain for the US. We will continue to slip in the wrong direction as long as science denier MAGA are in charge.

Trumper Arrested By ICE Here Legally. Please Share! youtu.be/Bx3hDoPHEcA?...

dozens of states are cancelling millions in new broadband investment and digital literacy training because the popular law that created it, the Digital Equity Act, had the word "equity" in it and gave King Dingus a case of the sads:

Governor Stein is asking for much higher teacher pay raises in his state budget proposal than Republican leaders in the legislature have staked out.

“To win the long game, Democrats have to talk to everyone and be everywhere, even when the odds are stacked against them” See what Anderson Clayton, Chair of the NCDP, and her team are cooking up going into the midterms. 👇 #ncpol

US business equipment borrowings decline in April, ELFA says reut.rs/3SfQA44

Jeffries: There are three big issues with the bill 1. It represents the largest cut to healthcare in American history. 2. It represents the largest cut to nutritional assistance in American history. 3. All of this is being done to enact the largest tax break for billionaires in American history.

VICTORY: Today, a US District Court ordered Justice Allison Riggs' victory to the NC Supreme Court be certified.

Victory for democracy in NC! Jefferson Griffin has conceded. Justice Allison Riggs holds her seat on the NC Supreme Court! Every vote mattered. Huge thanks to North Carolina Democrats and volunteers who stood up for fair elections! 💙 www.wral.com/story/republ... #NCPol #NCDems #WakeDems #VoteBlue

Our neighbor to the North is lead by a brilliant economist, who is tough, but fair and decent. Our neighbor to the South is lead by a brilliant engineer, who is tough, but fair and decent. We are run by a total ignoramus who is flawed in every way a human being can be & is destroying our country.

It’s a beautiful thing to see people put aside their differences, their politics, and unite in their love of country. Well done, Canada. 🇨🇦 Your citizens stood on guard for thee.

This is Canada’s Gulf of Tonkin moment. We have now established the pretext to come in and make it OUR MOST CHERISHED 51st STATE!!!

Here it comes.

Pritzker is the ONLY Democrat I have heard talking with the kind of assertiveness...and piss and vinegar this moment calls for. #NoBSWithJB

None of this matters if the truckers will be out of work. www.nbcnews.com/business/bus...

The CDC has eviscerated divisions that oversee a database on accidental deaths and injuries and the team that maintains a tool for tracking sexually transmitted diseases. The EPA will stop requiring that industry measures greenhouse gas emissions.

🚨BREAKING: In a win for voters, North Carolina settles with voting rights groups and DNC to permanently block part of SB 747. The law required officials to reject some voters' ballots due to address verification issues and offered no remedy to fix the problem. Paige and I explain.

Oof.

Section 4 is a doozy… www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

I guess they think only immigrant truckers will fail.

Honored to have attended the Northern Wake Fire Department's Annual Award Banquet.

North Carolinians support responsible gun ownership. But there is nothing responsible about allowing a teenager to conceal carry without any training or instruction. This bill is lazy and cynical, risking innocent lives in order to pander to the most fringe elements of the far right. #ncpol

Paramount appears to have CAVED to Trump. This is Russia/Putin stuff...happening right here at home. When I was growing up, Russia was the enemy. It still is. Yet...Trump is mirroring the enemy. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/27/b...

When even a moderate Republican like Senator Lisa Murkowski says, “We are all afraid,” it tells you everything you need to know about the state of our country.

If the Supreme Court - especially THIS Supreme Court - no longer takes DHS at its word, corporate media probably shouldn’t either. Just sayin.

“It’s hard to see how Trump would have acted any differently if he were a Russian asset than how he has acted in the first 100 days of his second term.” Huh. You don't say. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/26/u...

This was part of the $250M election donation deal.

An orange demon approached President Zelenskyy at the Pope's funeral and begged him to surrender Ukraine to the forces of evil. The President stood firm against the demon's demands.

"Some see".... Are the others blind?
