Alex Pretti, Renee Good, and Flight 93 The memorials are the same; it’s the terrorists who have changed.

"The forty people killed on Flight 93 were murdered by terrorists from foreign countries. Alex Pretti and Renee Good were murdered by terrorists acting under the aegis of the president of the United States."

Rep Pat Ryan (D-NY): Trump “hasn’t explained his goals. 
He hasn't told you what it will cost – both in our tax dollars and (God forbid) our kids coming home in flag-draped coffins”

Because there’s not one law on the books in the USA regulating men’s bodies or their right to vote?

CNN will soon be controlled by David Ellison. If democracy is to survive, a vibrant independent media ecosystem is critical.

Warner Brothers has a balance sheet loaded with debt.

Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

This is sad. @cnn.com will rapidly be destroyed under Ellison.

So now we know after trying to stuff her pockets with millions of taxpayer dollars because she thinks she’s above the law and can’t have her phone records looked at, @MarshaBlackburn got special treatment during the storm.

And y’all want to reward her by making her governor? 😕

Of course, she demanded special treatment.

Trump’s ICE Is Quietly Stockpiling Weaponry—and It Should Alarm Us All In addition to staffing up at a furious rate, ICE and CPB are acquiring a vast cache of weapons from private contractors, new data reveals. This will not end well—or anytime soon.

Appalling: ICE and CBP contracted for $144 million in weaponry and accessories in Trump's first year, per data obtained by Sen Adam Schiff.

For ICE it's a fourfold increase, much of it for military-style weapons. A heavily armed secret police force. 1/

Johnson calls it "detestable" that some Democrats are boycotting Trump's State of the Union "We play for one team," House Speaker Mike Johnson told "CBS Evening News" anchor Tony Dokoupil ahead of the State of the Union. "We're all for America."

Things Mike Johnson hasn't called "detestable":
- DOJ covering up the Epstein files
- Stripping millions of Americans of their health insurance
- Trump’s masked ICE agents killing people on our streets

So, forgive us if we don't give a damn. See you on the Mall at 8.

@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social talks the Minneapolis resistance network with @weissmann.substack.com on The Illegal News:

"It's hard not to think...that seeing what Donald Trump has done with his power has caused at least some wake-up call."

@weissmann.substack.com talks Justice Gorsuch's tariffs concurrence with @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social on The Illegal News:

Pollster: This is the weakest that Donald Trump has ever been with independents. Look at this drop. -47 points among independents. Donald Trump is near record lows overall.

👀Now that ICE/DHS are planning to buy ‘mega’ warehouse detention centers across the US to house human beings you might want to listen to this gentleman’s history lesson that he delivered at a city council meeting in AZ. Congress needs to have hearings on this like yesterday.

This is absolute fire. 🔥

The owner of a Texas warehouse says they won't sell or lease to DHS after the community raised concerns about
ICE. So we went down to Hutchins, Texas. to learn about how communities are stopping
warehouses from falling into ICE's hands.
