I can’t believe medicine hasn’t come up with a better way to do mammograms. That is some primitive shit right there.

Location change:

Moving to the MAIN ENTRANCE of the Rhode Island State House. NOT on the mall side; the tents and tables are for a church event and is not affiliated with NO KINGS.

NEW: Donald Trump is not a regular president, and the courts must stop treating him like one. He is an aspiring autocrat who weaponizes the legal process to undermine the rule of law, @marcelias.bsky.social writes.

I don't care how many junior staffs Hegseth or others throw under the bus.

Hegseth HIMSELF was on the Signal group chat. He used his fingers to enter the sensitive military info into the chat.

He bears 100% full responsibility for that -- no matter how many scapegoats he finds.

Joined SASC Chairman Wicker in sending a letter to the Acting DOD Inspector General regarding reckless Signal group chat among senior Trump Admin officials.

There must be an immediate bipartisan investigation to deliver answers about this deeply concerning security breach.

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

Absolutely disgusting!!!! Of course these facilities are for-profit and designed to keep people in a never ending bureaucratic maze. Where is the due process? Where is the oversight?
