Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming Wow! What a Ride

Trump made it clear to Speaker Johnson "Nobody Gives a Fuck About Housing!" House Republicans want more pain for everyday Americans instead of passing the Housing Bill as passed by Senate

A map of the Middle East with casualties. It is done by country, and as a result doesn't show how many of the victims in Gulf States are guest workers.

Al Jazeera has a very good tracker of the deaths and injuries in the Iran war. It would be striking, however, if they ran a separate tally for guest workers, bc by far the most frequent victims in the Gulf states are guest workers, often from S Asia.

The Baltimore Sun article titled “Maryland AG sues ICE for records on Baltimore holding room conditions”

The allegations surrounding the conditions at the George H. Fallon Federal Building are disturbing and merit full investigative cooperation.

We cannot stand by as ICE and the federal government continue to dodge accountability for their cruel and unlawful immigration enforcement actions.

UPDATE: Judge Nelson has ordered the release of a man "shockingly" described in a public post by DHS as "the worst of the worst" based on criminal charges that hadn't yet been filed and were later dropped.

That post may complicate his deportation too.

The suspension of the Global Entry program was one of many misguided and terrible decisions made during Kristi Noem’s disastrous tenure as Secretary of Homeland Security. It increased the burden on CBP officers and made lines longer for passengers. 🧵

"Covid will be over in two weeks. Gone by Easter"
"We're signing a health care plan within two weeks"
"They’re dying, Russians & Ukrainians. I want them to stop dying. I’ll have that done — I’ll have that done in 24 hours"

Based on his record, this isn’t ending anytime soon.

Professors will recognize this kid as the student who didn't do the reading but still has very strong opinions about how it's all "bullshit," except this time he's not the callow student who's going to fail your course, he's the reviewer who's going to cancel your grant.

Above $90 demand starts to drop. That cuts profits & makes for unstable revenue. Instability is the worse thing possible for oil. Trump screwed them over in his first term when they invested heavily on exploration & increasing rig count. It blew up in their face. Now they want consistent cash flows

This is the third government shutdown since Trump took office.

TSA agents are unpaid, some sleeping in their cars, while his war is torching about $1 billion a day.
ICE detention is still draining around $10 million a day to run centers where people are disappearing into a broken system.

Trump Dismisses GOP-Backed Housing Bill With Crude Comment President Donald Trump reportedly told Mike Johnson that "nobody gives a f*ck about housing" in reference to a Senate bill addressing the very issue.

Senate passes Bipartisan Housing Bill. Something that will benefit millions of Americans.
Trump's response;
"Nobody Give a Fuck About Housing!"
When Mikey is ratting Trump out for screwing you over. Dear Leader is definitely losing it

Florida Passes Bill That Lets DeSantis Remove Local Elected Officials From Office For "Promoting" Pride The bill could heavily impact LGBTQ+ activities throughout the state, and is the latest exercise in the erosion of democracy there.

1. Attacks on LGBTQ+ people have always been tied with the erosion of democracy.

Now, a bill has just been passed in Florida that lets DeSantis remove elected officials for promoting pride/LGBTQ+ people in their official capacity.

No court hearing necessary.
