Brooke Rollins on farmers: "That $12 billion was an important bridge payment. We don't call it a bailout."

Brooke Rollins: "The American dream is not being on a food stamp program. The American dream is not being on all these programs. That should be a hand up, not a handout. As of yesterday, we have moved 1.75 million people off of SNAP."

BROOKE ROLLINS: Don't call a $12 billion payment to farmers a bailout

BROOKE ROLLINS MOMENTS LATER: The American dream is not getting help from the government

screencap of WH tweet

the White House's official X account gloats over the arrest of Don Lemon with a chains emoji

the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.

Apparently PG&E has decided my building power is also on strike today lol

Brother calls Ilhan Omar suspect ‘right-wing extremist,’ has hated Somalis for years Exclusive: ‘In my mind, he’s a piece of s**t,’ Anthony Kazmierczak’s brother told The Independent

NEW from @justinrohrlich.bsky.social:

“I’m not surprised this happened,” Ilhan Omar attacker Anthony Kazmierczak’s brother said. “Not at all. Unfortunately, he and my mother are both right-wing extremists.”

i love that rightwingers genuinely seem to believe that political ideology is a set genetic inheritable trait

RAND PAUL: If a country bombed our air defense missiles, captured & removed our president, & blockaded our country, would that be considered an act of war?

RUBIO: We just don't believe this operation comes anywhere close to the constitutional definition

PAUL: Of course it would be an act of war!

ICE just attempted an illegal entry into the ECUADORIAN CONSULATE to abduct someone

They did not have a warrant

Nine DAs are coalescing to work on prosecuting federal agents for 'overreach':

—L. Krasner in Philly
—J. Creuzot in Dallas
—M. Moriarty in Minneapolis
—L. Conover in Tucson
—S. Descano in Fairfax (VA)
—R. Fatehi in Norfolk (VA)
—S. Morales in Portsmouth (VA)
—P. Dehghani-Tafti in Arlington (VA)

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Prediction markets platforms (in their current, unregulated state) are incentivized to encourage insider trading.

i feel bad about the direction of our society

About to give a presentation to my fellow coworkers at Caltrans about NYC’s congestion pricing program. Been nerding out about it all year. Love that I do this for a living 😊

massively increase the number of immigration judges, make them real courts, and give as many people as possible clean in-out decisions within in 90 days is the 'install linux, problem solved' of immigration issues in that the solution is not really complicated, it's just really hard

Democrats need to understand that they can just say “It’s insane to threaten Greenland” and “I don’t think ICE should murder Americans in the street” and you don’t need to pretend to link it to the affordability crisis.

Say bad things are bad.

The Brits have such a way with words. You know. Those things with letter that help you define and say stuff about things.

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

TIL Trump's nominee to run the Occupational Safety and Health Administration was Amazon's lead executive on worker safety.

San Antonio police backtrack on stating there was no evidence to support hate crime charges for Jonathan Joss murder.

“We shouldn’t have done it. I will own that.”

Trump's war on cities First he tells us they're hellholes, then he tries to make them worse.

"Few prominent figures talk more often about urban crime than the president himself, whose view of the city he grew up in seems frozen in the New York of Charles Bronson’s 1970s 'Death Wish' movies, in which an angry white man goes around the city blasting away at black and brown toughs."
