⚠️ JUST IN: Staff at the nation’s largest #ICE detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

People hate ICE and they hate Trump.

If we had an opposition party this wouldn’t be so hard.

It’s monstrous that fascist senate republican Tim Sheehy has gotten away with violently breaking the arm of a US Marine dressed in full military uniform which was captured on video and the scumbag later bragged about doing it on social media. MAGA is a violent terrorist cult.

What happened in Texas was intentional. Designed to discourage voters, and it’s part of a national plan led by the same Republicans who tried to overturn the 2020 election.

🚨 Trump officials attended a summit of election deniers who want the president to take over midterms.

Watch all of this.

A lot of us have been saying the people in the Trump administration act like this war is a video game.

The White House troll account confirmed it. πŸ‘€

It’s about time someone said it out loud on a national news show.

Major Gen. Paul Eaton (ret.) β€” on Trump’s interest in putting boots on the ground:

β€œWe have a situation where someone called a malignant narcissist is unfortunately drifting into a state of dementia that is difficult to manage.”

No, There Was No β€˜Imminent Threat’ From Iran Team Trump shows that words made to mean everything will cease to mean anything.

"Imminent" means "I felt like doing it."

Until quite recently, oil and gasoline prices had been a bright spot in the affordability fight, registering modest price declines since Trump took office. But since we bombed Iran, energy costs have risen sharply.

And Trump's "warflation" has just begun.

β€œWho knows in which direction Trump’s narcissism and megalomania will push him? For now, what we do know is that one man has taken us to war. We know his party has voted to give him a blank check to continue it.”

The American King Goes to War This is not what the Founders intended.

The constitution's design does not grant the president a kinglike ability to take the country to war by himself, lest he do so for self-serving reasons. That is the entire purpose of dividing that authority between POTUS and Congress. Guess what just happened? www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Midterms The question we face in the US today is whether a party in office which is supported by 40 percent of survey respondents can win an election.

β€œIf his base does remain at 40%, Republicans are likely to lose at least the House of Representatives and perhaps both Houses…What will Trump do if he expects to lose? What will he do if he does lose? All I know is that Trump is not prepared to lose an election.”

350,000 peoples’ lives hang in the balance. A majority entered the U.S. legally and have never been in violation of any immigration law. They’ve had to go through multiple background checks. And yet they’re hanging on by a thread, even though the situation in Haiti hasn’t gotten any better.

What Does Russia Have on Trump? Americans Deserve an Answer As Russia reportedly shares intelligence with Iran that could endanger American forces, the White House chooses to ease pressure on Moscow instead of confronting it.

Ukraine offers to help defend the West from Iranian drones.

Russia helps Iran track American forces.

And the White House eases sanctions on Russian oil.

Explain that to the families of U.S. troops. My latest:

Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces. Not surprising. What IS surprising? Our response: easing oil sanctions on Russia.

Stop asking a GOP-led Congress to do something about what’s happening.

Most of them are being blackmailed themselves.

Pervert Politics: Trumpism’s Body Obsessions How Republicans went from the party of prudes to the party of perversion.

"Trump was animated when describing the bloodied and mangled bodies of people. This obsession...is a hallmark of right-wing politics in America...America's descent into lawless, violent government is at least a little bit a story of psychosexual unmooring."

DURBIN: How does taking dad from child dying of cancer qualify as a violent crime?

NOEM: I don't know what you're speaking of

D: Ruben Torres 2 weeks ago buried his daughter. When he was arrested at Home Depot, he said, 'Please. My daughter is dying.' They deported him. Was he a violent criminal?

Again, I will be strongly engaged in the primary process for the Democratic Party's nominee for President in 2028.
But I will support whoever wins, even if it's not my preferred candidate.
The stakes are too high to be selfish.

It's not hyperbole to suggest that today we have a federal government that doesn't so much represent or resemble a federal administration as it does a family crime syndicate.

Republicans knew there was no proof that Hillary Clinton ever met Jeffrey Epstein, yet they had her testify for 6 hours behind closed doors.
