I haven’t watched even a second of CNN since Election Day. I don’t miss it at all. Not one bit. Anyone else out there like me?

Yes, we noticed. You're still here.

I’m so tired of the incompetent tomfuckery. He caved. He created the problem and now they’re trying to sell this like it’s a win—because ports were EMPTY. Lowering tariffs for 90 days doesn’t create economic stability—it does prove how stupid he is. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/12/b...

NEWS: U.S. and China agree to a 90-day pause on new tariffs after shipping to U.S. ports plummeted. Tariffs on Chinese imports will be cut from 145% to 30%. Tariffs on U.S. imports will be cut from 125% to 10%. If tariffs should result in massive job growth and make the U.S. rich, why lower them?

Just curious, what’s the tariff on a $400 million jet from Qatar?

Article I, Section 9, Clause 8: ā€œno Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.ā€

Bribery in plain sight.

Such an important point from Doug Jones: ā€œDeportation 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.ā€

David Hogg is starting to feel less like a rising leader and more like a loose cannon—firing off takes that land more in headlines than in hearts. Leadership isn't about going viral; it's about earning trust, building bridges, and knowing when not to pull the trigger.

Rep. Menendez: "They had over 20 armed ICE HSI officers, they were heavily armed, their faces were covered, and they wearing no identification. So this is who they chose to have come engage with the mayor of Newark and 3 elected members of the House of Representatives."

New on MSNBC: NBC News confirms: The Trump admin is preparing to accept a super luxury Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet from the royal family of Qatar as a gift to be used by TrumpĀ as the new Air Force One. It might be the largest foreign gift ever received by the U.S. government.

Read it and read it again. There is no way back from a suspension of Habeas Corpus

Carry On #DTPHX

Americans still think bad things will never happen to them, so they don’t care.

Every podcast should have these miners , the mayor of the town and others from the area on their podcasts and shows. Trumps name should never be mentioned. They know who caused it. I would love to hear what they feel needs to happen next and how to get there. Not what politicians think

This right here......

The rule of law is all or nothing and must apply equally to everyone. If there's no rule of law for some people in America, then there's no rule of law for any of us.

Suspending habeas corpus for immigrants is the Trojan horse. Once inside, it won’t stop there. Just like the Patriot Act, it’ll be turned on us all. When Trump guts due process, no one is safe—not even you.

"I did this!"

So Rubio is lying?

If you’re an ICE agent or other local authority committing these unwarranted abductions, fuck you, you’re not just doing your job, you’re failing a moral test. May you never sleep peacefully again

Feliz Dia de las Madres to my very own mom! #10demayo #DialelaMadre

This is what ICE does: just like they stalked the family’s car and smashed the windows in to kidnap them. They attack people on the streets grab them and take them to concentration camps. Entire neighborhoods gather to protect little babies & their moms from being separated & kidnapped.

Trump wants to have parades celebrating a victory over the nazis yet he has nazis waiting at schoolbus stops to arrest children.

The way we were treated at Delaney Hall is almost unbelievable. ICE shoved me, manhandled @repbonnie.bsky.social, and arrested Mayor Baraka. They disrespected us and tried to stop us from conducting the oversight we’re elected to do. But we’ll never back down in our fight for what is right.

Massachusetts neighbors tried to stop ICE from ripping away a mother who was with two children, including a newborn baby. The agents had no warrant. Those who want ā€œillegalsā€ to uphold the law should start by upholding it themselves. This is vile, cruel, and unforgivable. Period. #OnYourSide

ā€œAbolish ICEā€ is the moderate position. Radical is ā€œprosecute every ICE employee under RICO.ā€

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.

Why are these federal agents wearing face coverings? Is that policy now? Newark Mayor Ras Baraka taken into custody while protesting outside the Delaney Hall ICE detention center.

First, they arrested a sitting judge. Then they threatened a sitting Governor. Now, they've taken it a step further by arresting a sitting mayor of Newark, NJ, Ras Baraka, who dared to stand up against their billion-dollar detention deal that's ripping families apart.

THEY ARRESTED THE MAYOR OF NEWARK FOR STANDING UP TO A BILLION-DOLLAR PRIVATE PRISON DEAL? THIS IS WHAT FASCISM LOOKS LIKE. TRUMP’S AMERICA WANTS TO CAGE IMMIGRANTS, SILENCE BLACK LEADERS, AND CRUSH ANYONE WHO DARES DEFY THEM. RAS BARAKA IS A HERO—AND THESE COWARDS JUST MADE HIM A MARTYR!!!

Coleman: ICE is out of control. ICE thinks it can intimidate all of us. And it cannot intimidate any of us.

HAPPENING NOW: Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was just taken into custody while protesting outside the Delaney Hall ICE detention center

Donnie No Deals is at it again

If you think suspending Habeas Corpus "just for undocumented immigrants" is acceptable, remember that there would be NO HEARINGS and NO LEGAL RECOURSE for ANYONE detained in this way So all they have to do is CLAIM that YOU are an undocumented immigrant to DISAPPEAR YOU

James: He indicated that I was on his enemies list, along with others. All of these baseless allegations that have been refuted—it’s nothing more than retribution. It’s nothing more than the weaponization of the federal government.

ā€œThe controversial 1,000-bed facility is owned by the private prison company GEO Group, which entered into a 15-year, $1 billion contract with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in February.ā€ $1 BILLION dollars lining the pockets of a private prison company. www.insidernj.com/baraka-arres...
