Indicting your political enemies because they’re your enemies, not because they’ve committed crimes, is unAmerican.

BREAKING: We're suing ICE for refusing to comply with our FOIA request for information about the agency's plans for expanding immigration detention in the D.C. region.

We have a right to know how our taxpayer dollars are being used to fund ICE's abusive detention machine.

Oklahoma official says all high schools will have Turning Point chapters after Charlie Kirk killing Conservative youth group chapters will counter ‘woke indoctrination’, says Ryan Walters

🧵
Am I the only one freaking out about this?

Ryan Walters is cramming white supremacist ideology down kids’ throats again!
Oklahoma’s mandate to force a Turning Point USA chapter into every high school is a flagrant assault on educational freedom & democracy.

White House says to prep for mass firings if government shuts down The warning came after Trump refused a meeting with Democrats seeking healthcare funding in budget negotiations.

Trump is threatening to destroy the lives of 100Ks of Federal Workers and their families unless HE gets the budget HE wants. This is why capitulating doesn't work. A tyrant and a bully will only escalate until people, in this case Congress, finally tell him to FRO. www.bbc.com/news/article...

This falls in with those things that I can't say what I want to publicly.
These people make me sick.

While we were distracted by Charlie Kirk, the incompetence of Kash Patel, the conviction of Jair Bolsonaro and the GOP voting not to release the Epstein files

Republicans in the Senate were busy deploying the nuclear option by shredding the filibuster

Thanks so much, Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema

🇬🇧🇺🇦 Prince Harry met with Ukrainian veterans at the National Museum of the History of Ukraine in World War II.

🫡 About 500 veterans were reportedly in attendance.

Reading this morning about the flags at half-staff, moments of silence, and media sane-washing has got me aggro and flummoxed. Pandering to the worst in people is a big reason for where we are now.

It's going to be another shit news day. Rinse, repeat, and recycle. Charlie Kirk and floods in Pakistan are the talking points du jour. News fixation is funny that way; one would be forgiven for thinking it was by design.

Decrying violence against political opponents rings a bit hollow when you pull Secret Service protection from your political opponents.

By the way…this is John Paulson. Yes….THAT John Paulson.

I don’t give a damn how “frustrated” GOP senators now are with RFK Jr. Screw their frustrations. They were the ones who voted to put that whack job in charge of the nation’s public health. They own every dangerous, irresponsible thing Kennedy does. Cowards.

First, Jeffrey Epstein and His Collaborators Violated These Women. Now, Republicans Are Violating Them. As I watched a group of survivors of abuse standing outside our nation’s Capitol vowing to release the names of the monsters who collaborated with Jeffrey Epstein in their violation, I had two immedia...

As I watched a group of survivors of abuse standing outside our nation’s Capitol, I had two immediate thoughts:

The first was: the courage of these women is beyond measure.

The next was: this is a second act of violence against them.

Old people at weddings always poke me and say “your next “. So, I started doing the same thing at funerals.

A new perspective and a little humor gives me something to think about.

Good Thursday, everyone.

Absolutely valid 💯💯

Don Winslow has entered the building.

I’ve lived in LA my entire life. It’s massive. LA County is 4,753 square miles.

The anti-ICE protests encompassed no more than TWO city blocks and ONE burning Waymo.

Trust me, LA would be standing whether Trump weaponized the military for political reasons or not.

We. Have. A. Dictator. In. The. White. House.

Denmark Summons U.S. Envoy Over Espionage Allegations

Paxton tells Texas schools to follow Ten Commandments law despite court ruling Attorney General Ken Paxton's guidance comes days after U.S. District Judge Fred Biery sided with 16 families who sued their school districts to stop the law from going into effect.

My current favorite bit of right-wing Christian hypocrisy is Ken Paxton, a man whose wife is divorcing him for adultery, forcing Texas schools to unconstitutionally post "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery."

Those Reform nutjobs reminded me:
"Being British is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, grabbing an Indian curry or Turkish kebab takeaway, then going home to sit on Swedish furniture & watch American shows on a Japanese TV, while being suspicious of anything foreign."

First, they came for John Bolton
And I did speak out
Because even though I'm not a nutty right-wing warmonger with a ridiculous mustache,
I am an American who is horrified by a simple-minded tyrant using our Justice Department to avenge his petty, personal grudges.
