“210 defendants testified they were following Trump’s lead by joining the insurrection… you can’t listen to the speech without concluding he incited it.”

@mrjamesob.bsky.social on the absurdity of BBC leadership going down over an edit in the speech— new casualties in his war on the truth.

JFC. Does @schumer.senate.gov not get that by caving, Democrats make it *harder,* not easier, to make the ACA subsidies expiring stick politically to Trump/GOP? This effort to shame Republicans in this context risks signaling to low-info voters that Rs are standing on conviction and Dems aren't.

A fantastic investigation showing that the unit run by Greg Bovino, the Border Patrol agent in charge of racial profiling in LA and Chicago, is an outlier even in an agency already notorious for unnecessary use of force. Obama and Biden could have fired him, but didn't.

Sadly, he’s not up next year. 2028 can’t come soon enough.

He needs to be removed tomorrow. Next year by voters at the latest.

Great to have a president who doesn’t understand insurance in a country where a giant chunk of the federal budget is insurance

Didn't the administration try to claim that this woman didn't even work at the daycare -- that she just happen to run into the building after fleeing an immigration stop?

Seems pretty clear that was a lie.

Chicago: That is insanely disturbing. ICE kidnaps workers in broad daylight, leaving their equipment on site.

The father was a U.S. citizen.

But he was Latino, so Brett Kavanaugh says it’s fine.

Wait wait wait — Trump wants to starve Americans so badly, he’s taking it to the Supreme Court?

Are you fucking kidding me?!?

The Trump Administration will go to any length — including appeal to the highest court in the land — if it means they can cut off food for hungry people.

What is wrong with them?

#BREAKING: The Trump administration is asking #SCOTUS for an immediate “administrative” stay of a Rhode Island district judge’s order that is otherwise requiring it to resume the distribution of SNAP benefits from other funding sources no later than the end of today.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107.

12 days of work in 107 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Washington Post found the 1st opportunity to get rid of the last remaining DEI opinion columnist. Their loss.

So glad that you are free, sis. Looking so forward to following you on this new journey.

40 billion to Argentina.

WASH POST: “President Trump has pardoned the former Tennessee House speaker and his former top aide in the state legislature just weeks after they were sentenced to prison on public corruption charges.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

BIG WIN: The Trump Administration was ordered today to immediately release all the SNAP food benefits they've withheld during the government shutdown.

Californians are beginning to see benefits on their CalFresh cards now.
