I don't think it gets mentioned enough that Bovino is a member of the civil service. He is not a political appointee. Yet he still engages in constant open partisanship while in uniform and with a DHS flag behind him.

This is, unsurprisingly, nonsensical. Is he suggesting eliminating health insurance and giving people a few thousand dollars instead? And then when they get a cancer diagnosis they just go bankrupt?

He is so unserious. That's why we are shut down and Americans know it.

These are the states that are suing the regime for withholding SNAP benefits. If your state isn’t on this list and you care about families, mothers, babies, and children starving it’s time to call your reps.

@talsmith.bsky.social Since you're apparently not old enough to remember: One of the many reasons we enacted Obamacare is because insurance companies were routinely kicking women off their insurance coverage once they were diagnosed with breast cancer.

He keeps saying this, even though Jack Smith didn't join the classified docs case until a few months after the raid.

But since he keeps doing this on Fox News, where they are on the same team, he won't get called out on it.

This shutdown is proof that Trump and his MAGA Republicans don’t care about the American people.

They don’t care about federal workers who aren’t receiving paychecks, they don’t care about your flights, and they don’t care about Americans being able to afford health care.

The mask just slipped. Trump’s team got caught plotting to send the 82nd Airborne into Portland….an American city. Not rumor. Not β€œfake news.” Fact. This is what authoritarians do…when fear replaces law. (Guardian)

Federal Agents Handcuff Chicago Alderperson At Hospital ER In another incident caught on video Friday, federal agents inside a car randomly threw tear gas into a Logan Square street while people β€” including a 2-year-old β€” were outside nearby.

Federal agents are overtly abusing their power to try to intimidate advocates and elected officials. We need ICE out of Illinois immediately and justice for people like Ald. Jessie Fuentes who are defending their communities.
