Reminder: Tariffs aren't paid by other countries, no matter what Trump says.

A tariff is an import tax, raising the price of almost everything we buy.

Tariffs are also regressive — taking a higher percentage out of the paychecks of working people than out of the wealthy.

Folks, I assure you the GOP has more than redistricting up their sleeves to control the 2026 election, if they even allow us to have one.

It’s time for Gavin Newsom and JB Pritzker to launch investigations into the 2024 election, and get us forensic data on what really happened.

Alligator Alcatraz swag Is the hot new MAGA merch One $35 shirt reads, “Make Alligators Great Again.”

A $35 shirt that reads, “Make Alligators Great Again.” Mugs, car decals, and hats celebrating an immigration detender center.

The juxtaposition between reports of life inside Alligator Alcatraz and the comical branding of the facility by Republicans could not be more jarring.

Welp, here I am finally. Folks have been asking me to set up an account here. So begins this new journey.

The US is experiencing its worst measles outbreak in over 30 years, with 1,288 cases reported just six months into the year. The vaccine-preventable disease has led to three deaths, two children in Texas and an adult in New Mexico, and dozens of hospitalizations.

Spending $200 billion on ICE is a terrible idea I've covered federal law enforcement for two decades. Here are the things that worry me most.

Four reasons why $200 billion for ICE is a bad, bad idea by @vermontgmg.bsky.social

The United States government is no longer able to protect us from real hazards, such as flash floods, because it’s shifting funds to fake hazards, such as a non-existent immigrant crime wave. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/05/u...

Currently, the iPhone version of the app is the only one available and is the only one that provides anonymity for the user.
If and when an Android version is released I'm sure you will hear about it. News like that spreads fast.

If your vote can so easily be swayed by threats you shouldn’t be a politician.
We’re sick of our representatives not representing the people.

RFK is the very definition of someone who says they are sober but didn’t work the 12 steps. The insanity is still there. Still an addict. #sober

The MAGA crowd is crazy. Trump floated a bizarre and baseless claim that Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic candidate for New York mayor, was an illegal immigrant, and even threatened to arrest him for opposing immigration raids in the city.

It never stopped being birtherism Donald Trump is repackaging a familiar smear against Zohran Mamdani.

Attacking people’s citizenship and identity as punishment for their politics is a fascist move.

"Democrats should be manning the barricades against this stuff because the menace on the other side of the line is a far greater threat than a few negative ads in 2026."

iPhones have built-in protection features not available on android phones.

No there is not an Android version. The iPhone has built-in privacy features not available on Android phones. It would probably be dangerous to have this app on an Android because Androids are locatable.

Show this to Heartless Taco.

The Supreme Court issued a stay, effectively ruling, for now, that the Constitution no longer applies, at least not to immigrants. Fast-track deportations with no opportunity for judicial review violate the fundamental principle of due process, especially for people already on U.S. soil.

Worth noting that "Gestapo" is just an acronym denoting "Secret State Police."

We don't know the identities nor activities of ICE agents and they are a police force in the service of the state.
