Funny how God doesn’t say “Repent, turn yourself in to Idaho” but instead just tells you to keep on doing what you were planning to do.

“When he fled to southern Utah, Bundy said he prayed for guidance and received a revelation from God telling him to live as normal a life as possible.”

Numbers show no mass deportation of migrants, despite Trump immigration crackdown As the 100 day mark approaches, the Trump administration is not on pace to deport millions of immigrants as promised.

T rump‘s mass deportation is a charade. Instead, we are deporting people we shouldn’t be!

Hey instead of paying “baby bonuses” how about funding pre and post natal care? How about reinstating Head Start? Just a thought.

“mostly as expected” is not how I would frame a disapproval rating of 59%! that is astoundingly terrible, especially for this early in a term! he started higher than his first term but he is rapidly trending lower

and the shelves aren’t even empty yet

They'd Deport Jesus `An op-ed by God.

If Jesus Christ showed up today, this regime would immediately deport him to a foreign supermax prison without due process. And then they would brag about it on Twitter.

Trump approval in Virginia is 58-38 disapprove according to new tracking poll

Sounds in the ballpark given national polls

Obviously some big headwinds for Virginia GOP

Trump has now officially tied his 2017 record for worst-ever approval rating for a POTUS 94 days into his term, at -8 net approval. If that wasn't bad enough for him, the trajectory is also terrible: Trump's decline in term 2 has been quicker than in term 1. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/data

It's funny because obviously this isn't true but what's actually happening now is that a lot of intelligence staff are spending all their time rooting out "DEI" content and training materials instead of anything productive. Classic up is down stuff from this admin

Who could have known that the anti-migrant moral panic would be used as a pretext for a larger expansion of autocratic police power? Who, I ask you?

Exactly. The way to look at it is: If we had just 5 Lisa Murkowskis in the House and 19 more in the Senate, our national nightmare would be over in a matter of weeks. But we don’t, and it won’t.

The fourth IRS Commissioner since January is already out. Gary Shapley was installed in the position by Elon Musk without the knowledge or agreement of Scott Bessent, the Treasury Secretary who oversees IRS. Shapley was announced for the position on April 16, and out by April 18 after Bessent pushed back against Musk usurping his powers. Musk has since attacked Bessent on social media. He will be replaced by another acting Commissioner until Billy Long is confirmed.

The IRS will be on its fifth Commissioner since January. It turns out that the new acting Commissioner, announced 2 days ago, was selected by Musk.
Bessent, the Treasury Secretary who oversees IRS, was not told. He persuaded Trump to reverse the decision. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/this-tax-d...
