Ugly, illegal and immoral. I’m talking about ICE, in case you were wondering.

Troops and marines deeply troubled by LA deployment: ‘Morale is not great’ Several service members told advocacy groups they felt like pawns in a political game and assignment was not necessary

California national guard troops and marines deployed to LA to help restore order have told friends and family members they are deeply unhappy about the assignment and worry their only meaningful role will be as pawns in a political battle they don't want to join.

You know when things were pretty quiet and peaceful in L.A.? Before ICE started arresting residents who were bothering no one and going to their jobs. And before DHS and National Guard troops showed up and made the situation worse.

Of course Trump and Stephen Miller want the situation to get worse.

50 years of tax cuts for the rich failed to trickle down, economics study says Tax cuts for the wealthy didn't boost the economies of the U.S. and 17 other countries — but they did worsen income inequality.

“…study from the London School of Economics says 50 years of such tax cuts have only helped one group — the rich.”

America's two realities: Dems and Republicans see starkly different outlook Polling shows deep divides in public sentiment driven by partisanship.

Jake Tapper’s CNN show hits lowest ratings since 2015 despite Biden book buzz “The Lead with Jake Tapper” wasn’t the only CNN offering to struggle, as the network had its second-worst month ever in the demo across both total day and primetime during May.

Jake Tapper's ratings are at their lowest point in a decade. This is what happens when you betray your audience in hopes you can sell some books to Trump supporters (a bad strategy since they won't read it and hated you to begin with)

Fixed it for you, Elon.

SpaceX Loses Control of Starship, Adding to Spacecraft’s Mixed Record

Breaking News: SpaceX’s Starship spun out of control in space before breaking apart during its ninth test flight.

It’s still hard for me to believe that after so many years of deranged posts like this, we’ve still never had a serious national conversation about this man’s mental health.

Devastating. The cowardice and the betrayal of an incomparable news brand.

Michelle and I are thinking of the entire Biden family. Nobody has done more to find breakthrough treatments for cancer in all its forms than Joe, and I am certain he will fight this challenge with his trademark resolve and grace. We pray for a fast and full recovery.

As a person who has lost family members to cancer, I find the attacks against & ignorant statements about President Biden’s cancer disgusting. I never want to hear another proclamation for prayers or use of God for self-righteousness again. When people show you who they are, believe them—the devil.

My statement on the charges filed against me:

I stand with Rep. LaMonica McIver.

This is a political stunt—point blank.

Ripple effects coming to our economy but hey girls don’t need more than a could dolls, right Frump?

Stephen Miller, Tom Homan, Kristi Noem and a whole lot of ICE/DHS types is will discover a Strange New Respect for habeas corpus and the rule of law when the 2029 Truth and Reconciliation Commission arrests them for human trafficking, conspiracy, kidnapping, and child abuse.

Trump administration threatens to arrest House Democrats over ICE facility incident "There will likely be more arrests coming," a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson said.

Go ahead. Elevate them to national fame and make them heroes like you did the Mayor of Newark. www.axios.com/2025/05/10/t...

MeidasTouch Host Targeted by MAGA with Threat of Arrest By Ben Meiselas

MAGA influencers are demanding that Attorney General Pam Bondi arrest and prosecute a MeidasTouch host—for the “crime” of reporting the news. If they think intimidation will silence us, they’ve got another thing coming.

Jeffries: "I can say without hesitation or reservation or need for clarification that America is not down with MTG."

Orlando City Commissioner Tony Ortiz just switched from Republican to Democratic.

“The Republican Party is not the party I signed up with... The marginalization of Latinos and immigrants—many of whom have helped build this country—is not leadership. It’s fear-based politics.”

By electing Pope Leo XIV, some see Vatican making very American political play (RNS) — ‘The election of an American Pope, the first American Pope … there’s a signal here that the church is taking a side in what’s happening around the globe,' said Steven Millies, a professor at C...

By selecting Pope Leo XIV, the Cardinals took a decisive position in the US culture wars: repudiating Trump and his MAGA movement as unChristian and immoral. religionnews.com/2025/05/08/b...

Fired FEMA chief threatened to quit weeks ago Cameron Hamilton, the acting disaster chief, appeared to contradict Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem by defending the agency on Wednesday.

Well, well, well. The Acting FEMA Administrator said eliminating FEMA wasn’t in the best interest of the American people — and guess what?!?! They FIRED him. I guess that’s what happens when you stand up to your power-hungry “boss”.

Here it is. A timetable of 100 days of corruption.

Breathtaking. Heartbreaking.

We cannot let this stand.

Take a wild guess why. Hint: likely has to do with the firing of other people of color and Project 2025.

Kristi Noem Openly Flouts SCOTUS Order With 'Incredibly Chilling' Remark Kristi Noem said the deported Maryland man “will not be coming back" despite a court order, a claim that one Democratic senator called "incredibly chilling."

What happened that caused Trump's new surgeon general to cease to be a qualified MD with approbation to practice?

But Justice Roberts, how does that work if the conservative justices of the Supreme Court work to empower the executive branch above all others? I seem to remember someone saying, “With fear for our democracy, I dissent.” Maybe you should’ve listened then?

Boyle Files Discharge Petition to Prevent Cuts to Medicaid and Food Assistance Today, Congressman Brendan F. Boyle (PA-02), Ranking Member of the House Budget Committee, filed a discharge petition to force consideration of a special rule to prevent the largest cuts to Medicaid a...

Last night, I signed a discharge petition to force a vote on the Hands Off Medicaid and SNAP Act & protect these programs from the Trump-backed GOP budget.

We just need 4 House Republicans to be serious about protecting these critical programs & put people above politics to make this happen!
