In a genuine WOW moment, this administration publicly acknowledges (perhaps for the first time) that an ICE officer violated procedure and will be taken off duty and subject to an investigation. This is a step in the right direction — I just wish it wasn't only because of such an awful viral video.

Is the site down? I'm trying to join and it won't let me create an account. I get through all of the steps and then it says my just-created password is incorrect. I'm trying to join for the first time.

This Tuckahoe home won a $1.26 billion contract for an ICE detention center. The owner isn't talking. The company’s website is dated and largely accessible only via login.

how much of the money from the ICE/tax cuts bill is just going to go to scammers, do you think? www.richmonder.org/this-tuckaho...

Our newest Justice has realized the body she operates in is as politicized as any in the US, all the while denying it to our faces. Glad we finally have a Justice who's willing to speak the truth! Even if only in doomed dissents.

Very courageous. Bill Cassidy betrayed his oath as a physician and put the health of the nation in jeopardy because he was afraid of a primary. That will be his legacy.

“Democrats are seen as weak, whereas Republicans are seen as strong.”

Because that’s the dynamic we’ve seen in American politics for decades. Democrats can’t even uniformly oppose Trump’s nominees when the admin is doing after congressional Dems!

I’m not putting anyone on a pedestal but at every opportunity to be a shithead who throws marginalized people under a bus this man chooses the opposite and he’s wildly popular because of it and I don’t understand what about that isn’t clicking for other dems

Gov. Tim Walz backs transgender kids as Democrats grapple with debate over sports bans The Minnesota Democrat has been critical of other members of his party who are retreating at a time when the issue has become a political lightning rod nationally and in Minnesota.

Gov. Tim Walz is doubling down on trans rights — and criticizing members of his party who are retreating — at a time when the issue has become a political lightning rod nationally and back home in Minnesota.

The president has to follow American law. The lawmaking process (in which Congress and the president play a role) is binding. The entire U.S. legal code is not merely a suggestion to the president. He is required by the Constitution to "take care that the laws be faithfully executed."

Q: A NOTUS investigation found the MAHA commission report cites studies that appear to not exist. Does the WH have confidence in the info coming from HHS?

LEAVITT: Yes. I understand there were some formatting issues but it does not negate the substance

Q: Did they use AI?

L: I can't speak to that

one of the most insane normalized aspects of our political climate is politicians going after their own constituents in the name of anti-wokeness. what are we doing here

When will I get a long investigative piece from the Times or the Atlantic on why this man with his pudding brain has become obsessed with the word ‘groceries’. Obsessed.

Hasan Piker detained at the border and questioned for hours over politics "They straight up tried to get something out of me that I think they could use to basically detain me permanently"

“Hasan Piker detained at the border and questioned for hours over politics”

The free speech party is really the fascist party.

Hasan Piker detained at the border and questioned for hours over politics "They straight up tried to get something out of me that I think they could use to basically detain me permanently"

“The reason they’re doing [this] is to try to create an environment of fear, to try to get people like myself... to shut the fuck up,” Piker said on a stream recounting the details of the incident.

My daughter’s speech therapist went out of business because Medicaid reimbursement rates were too low. We do not have Medicaid. I’m going to keep posting this until people understand that when Medicaid gets cut *everyone* loses services.

Recently some MOC have said their Republican colleagues privately acknowledge Trump is not acting in the best interest of the US. Why aren’t they naming & shaming those colleagues? Crimes are being committed & protecting people who are protecting someone who is doing illegal things is also illegal.

Chris Van Hollen flying down to El Salvador and refusing to leave until he got in a room with Kilmar Abrego Garcia blows up every other “well what do you expect them to do?” defense for elected Democrats

one thing that Democratic politicians should take note of is that the overlap between “great political optics” and “actual morally good stuff” is really big right now

“One of the top MS-13 members”?

This woman is an officer of the court and the Attorney General of the United States.

She knows that she wields immense power and responsibility.

Yet here she is on national TV, making baseless claims about a guy her boss wrongly sent to a gulag in El Salvador.

Outright lies. Stunning.

What's wild is she's still not as bad as Matt Gaetz would have been

delusional. he’s 2 years old tops.

Great work everyone

Could polio be poised for a comeback? Cases have been rising in Afghanistan and Pakistan — and global health specialists are worried that this year's U.S. foreign aid cuts could usher in a wider resurgence.

Futurism Glam Squad Apr 15, 10:25 AM EDT by Maggie Harrison Dupré Katy Perry Boasts About Ridiculous Rocket Launch While NASA Is Scrubbing History of Women in Space She didn't have a word to say about Trump's attack on women in science and space travel. Off World/ Blue Origin/ Jeff Bezos/ Katy Perry Image: An image of Katy Perry smirking, photoshopped over the Earth from space.

Katy Perry and Lauren Sánchez framed their brief space tourism flight on a centibillionaire's rocket as path-paving feminism. (It wasn't.)

Neither woman mentioned the ongoing attacks on — and literal erasure of — women and minorities across the American space sciences.

Our laws no longer matter because Trump can arbitrarily decide which ones he obeys.

Karoline Leavitt sounding like a QAnon adherent during today's press briefing while touting Trump's tariffs.

"Americans should trust in the process."

Tensions flared at the Senate Finance Committee hearing as Sen. Mark Warner (D., Va.) lambasted U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer for imposing 10% tariffs on Australia, despite the fact that the U.S. has a trade surplus with the country, which the senator called one of the U.S.’s closest security allies. “They are an incredibly important national security partner,” Warner said. “Why were they whacked with a tariff?” Greer said that despite the surplus, Australia bans U.S. beef and pork, and that the U.S. should be “running up the score” in terms of trade with the country. But Warner interrupted him, saying he was a “much smarter person than that answer” and calling the market rally today a “good day in hospice.”

The U.S. has slapped a tariff on Australia despite the fact that it’s one of the few countries on earth with which we have an actual trade *surplus*

I wonder if he and other Republicans ever get tired of the willful ignorance and idiocy they’re forced to display on a near daily basis
