Following to see what @Netflix does regarding Susan Rice. Their decision may help ppl save money.

Katyal: "I was able to go to court - the son of immigrants-- & say on behalf of small businesses, 'Hey, this president is acting illegally.' I was able to present my case, have them ask really hard questions, & at the end of it they voted & we won. That is something extraordinary about this country"

Neal Katyal: "In America, the chief justice said only Congress can impose taxes on the American people, and that's what tariffs are. Tariffs are taxes."

🚨 Trump: ‘Republicans Should Run Elections’ The US president all but calls to end American democracy, Kristi Noem caves while on thin ICE, and the Epstein files pit Bari Weiss against her newsroom?

"Trump is a raging ball of racist, power-hungry id. He means what he says, he says what he means, no matter how ludicrous, monstrous, or completely untethered from reality. So, yes, Americans should be very, very concerned about his expressed desire to “nationalize” elections."

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Every sentence a lie

The man killed by a US Border Patrol officer in Minneapolis was an ICU nurse, family says Family members say the man who was killed by a federal officer in Minneapolis was an intensive care nurse at a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs hospital who cared deeply about people and was upset ...

“As of Saturday evening, the family said they had still not heard from anyone at a federal law enforcement agency about their son’s death.”

Read Bondi’s Letter to Minnesota’s Governor Attorney General Pam Bondi sent a letter to Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota on Saturday that blamed him and other Democratic officials for allowing “lawlessness” in the state. It was not immediately clear ...

Now AG Pam Bondi is using ICE as leverage to extort MN Gov Tim Walz. This is Trump’s tried and true formula: inflict pain and then demand payment to make it stop.

An EPA report found that the forever chemical PFNA interferes with human development and likely causes damage to the liver and male reproductive systems.

Another violent attack by an ICE officer on a civilian at 26 Federal Plaza—this time on a journalist, who had to be carried out on stretcher.

ICE arrests leader of Iowa's largest school district, says he was living and working in US illegally Federal immigration agents have arrested the leader of Iowa’s largest school district in a targeted enforcement action that shocked students and educators. U.S.

This might be the wildest educational leadership story I have read in a while.

Stephen Miller: "Children will be taught to love America … As we close the Dept of Education and provide funding to states, we're going to make sure these funds are not being used to promote communist ideology."

A 21 year old Black Man was founding hanging from a tree in MS and local law enforcement doesn’t seem to give a shit.

Does the name Emmitt still ring any bells?

Black people DO NOT hang themselves from trees, even if they have suicidal ideation. We know the trauma that causes other Black people

Yes, release the Epstein files!!!

Charlie Kirk Shooting Suspect Identified as 22-Year-Old Utah Man Authorities have named Tyler Robinson as a suspect in the murder of right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk, citing Discord messages as evidence of his alleged role.

NEW: Authorities have named Tyler Robinson as a suspect in the murder of right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk, citing Discord messages as evidence of his alleged role.

Gov. Spencer Cox: "There is a tremendous amount of disinformation…Our adversaries want violence. We have bots from Russia, China, all over the world that are trying to instill disinformation and encourage violence. I would encourage you to ignore those."

Folks, share this instead of the inflammatory WSJ report that didn't list the important facts in the headlines.

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported.

Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad.

We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

Trump's Most Dangerous Executive Order Trump has always wanted his own muscle he can deploy to silence critics and intimidate his enemies. His new executive order could create just that.

Ben Rhodes: War on Terror, Failed War on Drugs, Trump’s Authoritarian Militaristic Impulses Are Merging Just days after the U.S. military struck an alleged Venezuelan drug boat in the Caribbean, some of the highest-ranking officials in the American government have signaled they believe they are above the law, so long as whatever they are doing is in service of the wishes of Donald Trump. Former Deputy National Security Advisor to Pres. Obama and Co-Host of ‘Pod Save The World,’ Ben Rhodes, says “We are seeing the language of the war on terror and the multi-decade failed war on drugs merged together with Trump’s authoritarian militaristic impulses, and it’s scary, and it should scare people.”

Since the U.S. struck a boat in int’l waters, top officials suggest they’re above the law, as long as they are doing Trump’s bidding. Ben Rhodes says this is "the war on terror and the multi-decade failed war on drugs merged together with Trump’s authoritarian militaristic impulses. And it’s scary.”
