This is what it looks like when an attempt at authoritarian consolidation stalls out. The wheels are coming off the bus

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

I don’t know how else to say it…

Leo should just excommunicate Vance and ACB and see what happens

shoutout to the crowd that insisted it was a political loser to stand up for abrego garcia’s rights

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an ordinary man, has defeated the great might of the US Government

One under-appreciated part of this: note the bit below about “and their dependents.”

Under the Trump admin’s new policy, dependent children of visa applicants are not allowed to have their social media set to private during the entire visa process. They MUST make their social media public.

There was a time when Barron was off-limits for ridicule because he was still just a young man, but that time is long past.

oh you mean sending masked gestapo around the country to abduct the ice cream man isn't very popular? you are telling me this for the first time

I wish everyone who wanted to hand it to him on this one an especially shut the fuck up

This drop comes after several months of stagnation on his immigration approval rating. I’ll be keeping an eye out to see whether other polls reflect a drop.

New AP poll has Trump's approval on immigration down to an abysmal 38% as he rants psychotically about "shithole countries," smears Somalis, threatens large-scale denaturalization and remigration, and openly pines for more white immigrants and fewer nonwhite ones

Handwritten notecard. Prompt at the top asks: What object was most devastating for you to lose, and how have you been coping? Answer below: Dentures. Were thrown away and coping isn't somthing I can do. It’s made me feel ugly, unworthy, can’t go get a job with no teeth. So how can get off the streets until another pair can be made?

ProPublica spoke to about 150 people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.”

We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words.

Appreciate this letter from MN State Sen Jim Abler (R-Anoka) to POTUS

still thinking of the Smart Bros nodding sagely and saying how it's a terrible tactical mistake for dems to raise the salience of immigration

Johnson County has turned Democratic, she doesn’t have to do this.

I agree that it is WELL past time that Democratic Party leadership figured how to use the “I don’t know what that crazy fucker is gonna do and that scares me” effect to our collective advantage

man are you fucking stupid? "legal experts say." enemies of the people indeed.

Spc. Sarah Beckstrom laid to rest with full military honors at W.Va. National Cemetery Spc. Sarah Beckstrom was laid to rest with full military honors Tuesday in Grafton.

Surprisingly none of the major major news media mention it. No flags were lower to half staff.

Responses available when Republicans respond to denouncing ICE fascism with pogromist blather about immigrant rapists:
1) "The Rapist in Chief in the White House doesn't give a fuck about that; he's disappearing veterans and Green Card applicants and guys who just want a job building houses"

As of today, the only person in this Daily Penn visual that hasn't been fined millions of dollars or convicted of a felony is Luigi Mangione, believe it or not

those who fought should feel vindicated by history, those who would have thrown an innocent man to the wolves should be pelted with rotten fruit

Trump administration vincible.

Orange and white cat looking unamused

Tammy Duckworth was personally livid that an amendment to cover IVF for US Servicemembers was stripped out.

"The speaker's conservative Christian faith has denied servicemen and women their access to a health care option that the President said he was going to make available to

MTG wants a schism, former republicans want a schism, all my homies love schisms

Impeachment is not "sacred," it is a parliamentary procedure. Please be serious.

What they're really saying is it's a lot of work and they don't want to do it.

Makes the claim that they are "laser focused" on "cleaning up corruption" a bit suspect.

Sharice does it again

(Yes, the image of Trump with the walker is AI-generated)
