So investigative reporter Brian Krebs found out Director of White House Office of Presidential Personnel is suspected of being a Russian spy. "Sergio Gor" appears to actually be Sergey Goryachev from Saratov, Russia.

Day 70. 🇺🇸

🚨 New survey from @kff.org confirms my fears: 60% of the ~24 million #ACA exchange enrollees know little to nothing about the IRA subsidies expiring in December. This is gonna be an epic disaster for ALL 24 million, but *especially* for those who don't know it's coming. www.kff.org/affordable-c...

Fuerza responds to scenes where alleged ICE enforcement is reported. If officers are indeed with ICE, they hit record and spread the word. They also speak directly with those being detained. They are part of a growing scrappy network of volunteers protecting neighbors from ICE. bit.ly/4lgke5N

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

America is one of those countries where if you host a global sporting event, inclusive messages have to be censored to so as not to anger the central government. In this case the message is “racism is bad” www.nytimes.com/athletic/643...

WE HAVE QUESTIONS… This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they? ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants. How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

Under the GOP budget proposal: The lowest income Americans lose $1,600 a year. Billionaires get a giant tax cut.

They are monsters.

Quick reminder that the majority of Americans live in cities, "real America" is urban, and when people scream obscenities about cities they are screaming obscenities about America.

The other layer is how far-right media twists stories. I periodically check how a Sinclair-owned station is framing a story. Their headline re the Minnesota shooter starts, “Former Tim Walz appointee…” It’s chilling. I don’t usually repeat far-right framing, but critiquing media is an exception.

BORDER PATROL: “Are you an 🇺🇸 citizen?” 🔥 NATIVE AMERICAN WOMAN: “FIRST ONES. We didn’t cross the border, the border crossed us… what are you? You’re not first born. You’re not from this f*ckin’ land. Punk-as* b*tches.”

Here is what happens when you hurt a cop's precious feelings: you get mobbed by a gang. (Full-length video is on my page on that other place, had to trim for size limits. nothing crucial was lost) (Taken in Las Vegas a couple of nights ago, original poster unknown)

With or without documentation, simply due to skin color.

I’ve activated the State Emergency Operations Center. Local law enforcement in Champlin and Brooklyn Park have the full resources of the State of Minnesota behind them. We are monitoring the situation closely and will share more information soon.

My kids know an American flag when they see one – but they don't yet know all that it represents. When they're old enough, here is what I'm going to tell them:

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

Here’s one thing we could do with the $600M we’re granting the Billionaire Haslams for their stadium: Provide free breakfast and lunch at school for all public and charter students in Ohio.

(🚨) ALERT: Per new intelligence, Donald Trump will be expanding his war on America to the following states imminently: 💥 Illinois 💥 New York 💥 Pennsylvania 💥 Virginia 💥 Washington Remember, the kidnappings will continue until until morale improves.

Kidnapping women and snatching infants. Let that sink in, America. #NY #Gestapos #naziUSA

If the time comes, be like South Korea…

anyway CNN is reporting that Pentagon lawyers are defining the RULES OF ENGAGEMENT for the U.S. Marines against civilians in L.A. and at the same time you have Serious Journalists™ defending the suspension of a reporter for calling Stephen Miller a hateful person

“Health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has taken the extraordinary step of firing the expert panel that advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, saying the action is needed to restore faith in vaccines.” www.statnews.com/2025/06/09/r...

For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.

How on earth can this country still hold the World Cup and Olympics next year??

My statement on what's unfolding in Los Angeles.

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio tried to give a press conference to announce his lawsuit against DOJ. Much to my surprise it turned out to be the greatest press conference of all-time.

Chicago fighting back against ICE. You love to see it 💪

Trying to trap women with their abusers. There’s not one evil thing these fuckers don’t think of.

As Trump and Musk attack each other, don't forget: their ongoing DOGE cuts have made your life worse. It doesn't matter who wins the Trump-Musk feud. Thanks to them, millions of Americans have already lost crucial public services. youtu.be/M5LD2CSOzmI?...

Handing free food to fascists outside their offices might be the high-water mark for the pugilism Beltway Democrats. https://trib.al/O73E8ii

“One Big Beautiful Bill”? Try one big, bold-faced lie. They swore this mess wouldn’t add to the deficit…but the nonpartisan budget office says otherwise. $2.4 TRILLION added to the deficit—and for what? Tax cuts for the rich.

He needed air. The price was $539. When OptumRx dropped coverage of his $66 inhaler, Cole couldn’t afford the new price. 5 days later, he died from a severe asthma attack—with no inhaler. He paid with his life. www.nbcnews.com/nightly-news... #MedSky #SciSky #PedsSky #PulmSky

Opening Pride month with a reminder of what it takes to fight and what resistance looks like. It wasn’t polite, it wasn’t without personal costs, and it wasn’t limited to the halls of Congress. HIV funding has been eliminated and no one is coming to save it. It’s time to fight.
