So the border with Canada is an “artificial line” that was “drawn with a ruler” and should be erased.

But the border with Mexico needs military patrolling and a wall.

Got it.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did.

Two former Wells Fargo executives were fined $8.5M by the Biden administration for covering up the bank's infamous fake account scandal.

Trump just slashed those fines to a paltry $150,000 after Wells Fargo gave $1M to his inauguration.

See how this works?

The Weight of Silence Dispatches from a Nation at War with Its Own People

“I write because people are being crushed beneath the weight of a system rigged against them…waiting for justice that never comes. I write because the world is a cracked highway at dawn, slick with oil and desperation, with a storm rolling in fast and nowhere to run.”

There are numerous calls to investigate whether Trump and his cronies engaged in insider trading, pump and dumps, etc.

But it won't be DOJ.
It won't be the SEC.
It won't be Congress.

You know who CAN investigate this?

🚨 From a fellow BlueSky traveler: Homeland Security stormed LA schools without a warrant, targeting kids. Principals shut them down. Schools are not battlegrounds. We will not let our communities be terrorized. Stand up and fight back. #ProtectOurKids #DefendOurSchools

Right, because Grandma is on X.

This is corruption, plain and simple.

Trump is trying to quietly wrest control of a top federal civil rights board He wants to demote the Democratic chair and replace her with a hand-picked Republican.

“They’ve been relentlessly dismantling every single civil rights agency in the federal government, and this could be the last one standing.”

Garza added that she is “prepared to challenge any attempt to illegally remove me as chairwoman.”

I'm going to share the post of a family friend who has late stage cancer and will be directly affected by cuts to NIH. She is speaking out during the time she has. She wants people to know the human cost. Her name is Caroline. This is her post:

SICKENING—Trump’s DHS just deported a surgeon from Brown—who is here legally on an H1B visa that doesn’t expire until 2027, & committed no crimes. Trained in the U.S. at Ohio State, University of Washington, and Yale as a **transplant surgeon**, she is a highly trained doctor on kidney transplants.

DOCUMENT DESTRUCTION:

My reporter Brett Murphy obtained a remarkable directive to folks at USAID: Empty the safes with the classified and personnel records and then,

"Shred as many documents first, and reserve the burn bags for when the shredder becomes unavailable or needs a break."

Barbara Jordan was the 1st African American woman from the south elected to Congress in 1972. Prior to that she had been elected as President of the Texas Senate. In the US Congress she served 3 terms on the Judiciary Committee. She gave the opening remarks in Nixon’s impeachment. A hero to many!

Me. In Florida.🖖🏼

Expressing horror at the *ATTACK ON* Zelenskyy. Not an argument. Not a spat. Words matter.

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.

Crockett: When you're at war, you’re not worried about your outfit. If he was walking around in the fanciest suits, I'm sure that they would accuse him of taking our dollars and spending it on his wardrobe

Horrifying. What an embarrassment to every one of U.S.🤯

Zelensky was berated, belittled, and gaslighted. He stood firm. That is what true strength looks like.💔

“Appear to”🙄
