I still can’t figure out when “we can deport you” turned into “we can put you in a hell hole prison in a third country, indefinitely, with no legal recourse.”

While the Russian Useful Idiot in the White House is busy claiming bullshit wartime authority to further his efforts destructing Democracy, just a reminder that everything he has said is a lie & everything that he says going forward will be a lie. As for his enablers, screw them.

'Bloody Saturday' at Voice of America and other U.S.-funded networks Federal officials placed 1,300 employees at Voice of America on indefinite paid leave, while severing contracts with Radio Free Asia and other U.S.-funded networks.

Here's an update on @VoiceofAmerica... it's bad.

Voice of America provides trusted and objective news and information in 49 languages to a measured weekly audience of more than 361 million people around the world.

Mike has been a friend of mine since we were young reporters at the @washingtonpost.com in the 1980s. He brims with talent, integrity and commitment to the truth. This is exactly what I expected and he had hoped he could stave off, which is a trash move by trash people. Throw them out.

Our little red rural center Medina (between CLE and Columbus) turned out today. All corners had activity. Lots of beeps showed support too! ✊🏼

We are . It has to be this way. It doesn’t sadden me. Given the majority in the chambers, it has to be grassroots, from bottom-up and we’re here for it! The resistance has got to come from the people.

Very heartening to see foreign officials mocking him for being a fucking clown. Feels like the garlic to his vampire

Oh they talked plenty about what Trump would do. So did we…some voters decided to demonstrate a point anyway. You’re right that some Dem reps like Tlaib did not unite -but it’s far bigger tent than reps so it’s challenging to please everyone always but for vast majority there is unity in stance

ALL of the Republicans are standing up and cheering for DOGE, Elon Musk, and Trump’s “policies.”

Remember that when you’re unemployed and can’t afford your basic necessities because of Trump’s tariffs.

I could see validity in both scenarios. But there wasn’t unity in approach from the get-go since some chose not to attend. But not having unity in method does not mean there is not unity in stance.

Infallible? You do realize that means not making mistakes… right? Never said that. Never implied that so that seems quite an inappropriate reply. My point is that no matter what..there would’ve been complaints. And by some staying in the chamber, it provided the counter to the Republicans.

Perhaps but also perhaps them staying to make noise against the cheers wasn’t bad either.

I’m pretty certain no matter which way they chose to go, SM would’ve complained. JFC
