Just so I'm clear:

TV host says we should kill every homeless person? No big deal

TV host says the right must "go to war" with the left? Pfft.

TV host says the government is cracking down on critics? Well, the government cracks down on him for the criticism.

Free speech, everyone.

Don’t let this make you quieter.

Get louder.

Or run through AI

We drill into military officers that Members of Congress have Constitutional oversight rights, Members outrank four-stars in protocol, and even Congressional staffers are treated like generals/admirals.

To see sworn federal officers manhandle and handcuff a U.S. Senator... I'm still shook up.

The Trump Administration is attacking reproductive rights before our eyes.

We will continue to expose their hypocrisy and fight for our freedoms.

Always great to chat with @nicollewallace.bsky.social #DeadlineWhiteHouse.

NEW: A federal judge raised alarm Friday that the Trump administration appeared to have deported a 2-year-old U.S. citizen to Honduras with "no meaningful process" — even as her father was fighting to keep her in the country.

THEY ARE DEPORTING TODDLER CITIZENS AND ARRESTING JUDGES.

THEY ARE DISAPPEARING STUDENTS AND HAIRDRESSERS AND INVESTIGATING THEIR POLITICAL ENEMIES.

THEY ARE RAIDING COAST GUARD SPOUSES TO DETAIN THEIR SPOUSES AND THREATENING TO PROSECUTE MEDICAL JOURNALS.

AND THEY'RE BRINGING BACK MEASLES.

ICE Deports 3 U.S. Citizen Children Held Incommunicado Prior to the Deportation | American Civil Liberties Union Families disappeared and isolated without legal access; one child with cancer deported without medication and pregnant mother deported as well

ACLU says another three US citizen children were disappeared from their own country today: www.aclu.org/press-releas...

The image is a screenshot of a tweet from Brandon Bradford (@BrandonLBradfor ). The tweet reads: "Deporting Americans without due process then saying they no longer get due process because they aren’t in America means no one has rights, FYI. Nightmare scenario."

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

NO KINGS LIVE HERE.

Not watching SOTU but read what happened and donating to @algreen.house.gov.

Former 🇺🇸 ambassador to Russia 👇🏽

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.

What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

There’s a major shift in U.S. cybersecurity policy. A recent CISA memo removed Russia from its list of priorities, focusing instead on China and local systems. Analysts were told not to track Russian cyber threats.

Officials at the FAA have directed staff to identify tens of millions of dollars to fund a Starlink deal for upgrading air traffic control communications. Staff has been instructed to find the funds while minimizing documentation and avoiding a paper trail.

The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to allow it to fire the head of the Office of Special Counsel, which oversees government whistleblower protections and enforces certain ethics laws.

Yes- a thousand times, yes to this.

I refuse to take medical advice from a dude who’s not a doctor and is more scared of vaccines than getting prion disease from eating roadkill.

Imagine if the media pointed out there was already a Government Accountability Office whose job it is to go after actual waste and fraud, not just things Elon doesn’t like, and found $70 Billion in savings last year and $2 Trillion in waste since 2003.

It’s almost like that’s not actually the focus

Seriously though a lot more of our Democratic representatives need to take a page out of @aoc.bsky.social ‘s book or we should primary them out and get people in at the midterms who will fight for us.

Musk’s staffers are accessing the heavily guarded Internal Revenue Service (IRS) system, which contains detailed financial information on every taxpayer, business, and nonprofit in the country.

“Under what authority are you directing us to do this?”

Saw this on @lastweektonight.com and can’t stop listening. At least we’ll have some bangers for the end times…

Also, they have the softest loungewear sets and hoodies.

You need the chicken pot pie! It’s a game changer. The chocolate tuxedo mousse cake, rotisserie chicken, the wild caught salmon AND the salmon w/ herb butter, the super cheap Prosecco, TP, milk, the taco kit, & the $1.50 hot dog and Coke (plus a slice of pizza)!

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.
