I’ve spent a good chunk of my career relying on American science and engineering to keep me alive. Yesterday, RFK Jr. testified at the U.S. Senate Finance Committee. It was sad to see him try to destroy the life’s work of so many American scientists. He shouldn’t be in this job.

Attorney for woman shot by Border Patrol claims officer said 'Do something b-----' before shooting Body-camera video appears to contradict the government's claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. A judge ordered Martinez and a co-defendant released pending trial.

Judge issues new broader order barring any National Guard from relocating to Oregon Judge asked federal government lawyer: 'Do you believe this is an appropriate way to deal with a judge’s order that you disagree with?'

Folks we are watching the adjudication of some of the most important constitutional issues of federalism, executive discretion, and judicial review since the 19th c

Yes, very weird. 🤷🏼‍♂️

We do not deploy American forces against Americans in our own cities.

Our military is not trained for domestic law enforcement.

It’s illegal and un-American.

SOUTH CAROLINA… “Judge Goodstein was walking on the beach when the fire started. Her husband, Arnie, was in the house with children and perhaps grandchildren. The family had to escape by jumping from a window or balcony...” www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

In one woman's account of a Chicago raid, agents broke down her door, aimed guns at her and her 4-year-old, told them to go back to their country, and made sexual remarks about Venezuelan women. After her release on asylum, she returned to find her apartment boarded up and her belongings gone.

Five-alarm fire inside the DOJ - Lawyer Oyer

Judge Immergut's ruling on the National Guard deployment to Portland sums up Trump's entire presidency:

"The President’s determination was simply untethered to the facts."

It’s a strange thing to sit awake at night, watching the clock tick, waiting for missiles you know were launched to arrive.

You don’t know where they’ll land, or who they’ll kill. But they will land. And someone will lose this deadly lottery we are forced to play.

Massive Russian missile and drone attack on #Ukraine last night. Russia used different types of cruise missiles, Kinzhal missiles and drones on Ukrainian energy infrastructure and civilian objects. Western regions of Ukraine were under the most intense attack.

◾️Lviv and Lviv region: massive attack.

So can we!👍

White House official inadvertently reveals plans to send elite army unit to Portland Anthony Salisbury displayed chat about deployment of 82nd airborne division on cellphone while in Minnesota

Oh look, another White House Signal scandal.

This time it was an aide to Stephen Miller who was using Signal so openly in a public space that a bystander captured images of the chat.

Oh and the messages were about sending the *82nd Airborne* into Portland.

Mark Kelly: “lf you are undocumented in our country, you cannot get healthcare from the Affordable Care Act exchange. You are not eligible for Medicare. You are not eligible for Medicaid. They’re just making that up. They just like to blame brown people.”

AOC is Absolutely 💯 Spot On......

Every American should be deeply offended when they hear this. What they are saying is YOU are too stupid to know this is a lie! You are a fool.

A Russian woman who is not afraid to speak the truth says:

“Of course, our great strategist Putin has many “achievements,” but the most outstanding ones, in my opinion, are the following.
He replaced truth and reality with wild propaganda.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason. Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

"I believe that Americans would agree that the government can’t just make people disappear without any process or explanation. Second, because I want to give the government a chance to admit that they were wrong.

So far the government has not done so."

It’s a core First Amendment principle. This is utterly lawless behavior, for which there will be no (short-term) consequences.

That he does it so casually, as they are walking away, in front of cameras.

Rightly confident in his impunity.

Now That Fascism is Here... Fascism isn’t coming to America; it’s here.

We cannot let the myth of American exceptionalism numb us into imagining we are above devolving into inhumanity.

We have every ingredient in place to become something historically monstrous.

It will happen here unless we refuse to allow it.
