A disturbed man and his fanatical advisors are making potentially life-threatening decisions on the basis of what he sees on television.

We should all be very concerned. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/how-trump-gets-and-processes-information

I canโ€™t get over this. Trump bailed out Argentina farmers with $20 billion of our tax dollars, then China turned around and bought soybeans from them instead of US farmers.

Not AMERICA FIRST, America got played.

ICE Is Deporting People to Africa on Nearly Un-Trackable Military Flights Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is deporting people to African countries like Ghana on military flights that are nearly un-trackable.

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable.

This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed.

Opinion | Trumpโ€™s Most Lethal Policy

Shutting down USAID will cost taxpayers $6.4 billion over two years. Thatโ€™s enough money to save more than one million childrenโ€™s lives.

Crockett: "If I had one issue with the Biden/Harris administration, it is the fact that they did not move forward and make sure that this man was put where he should've been put ... I never had a defended that had 34 convictions for felonies and did not spend one day in jail. Never in my life."

3 killed in US strike on 2nd alleged Venezuelan drug boat, Trump says Three people have been killed in a second U.S. strike on an alleged Venezuelan drug boat, according to President Donald Trump.

The U.S. blew up a second boat in international waters this morning, killing 3 people.

The Trump administration provided no evidence either boat carried drugs.

This is state violence on brown people with no evidence of criminality.

NYT headline: 

$10 Million in Contraceptives Have Been Destroyed on Orders From Trump Officials

The birth control pills, IUDs and hormonal implants were purchased by U.S.A.I.D. for women in low-income countries. They had been in limbo in a Belgian warehouse after the U.S. cut much of its foreign aid.

Correction with article: not destroyed- yet

๐ŸงตPresident Russell Vought, who we did not elect, declared โ€œThe administration will no longer supply abortifacient birth control under the guise of foreign aid.โ€

He applied that to all birth control, and an order was sent to destroy a warehouse full of birth control products in Belgium.

The debate on which side uses political violence as a weapon is over. The receipts are here, and they all point right.

PS: Only one side has been threatening civil war, and it isnโ€™t the left.

Marsha has never voted on the first thing to benefit women in all her years in Congress. But, the way she was posting how the Epstein flight log must be released, every day for months, gave me a smidgen of hope. Silly, I know.

Sen Marsha Blackburn shouted loudly about releasing the Epstein files, yet when she had the chance, she voted to block Schumerโ€™s amendment to make them public. She called it a โ€œstunt.โ€

No, Senator, the stunt is betraying women & girls while protecting the powerful.
The victims deserve truth.
