President Trump has tried to withhold billions of dollars in federal funding to coerce states, punish opponents, remake programs and impose his views. His targets have repeatedly sued to stop him, and the courts have repeatedly rebuked him — only for the president to try again and again.
🌊🌊🌊🎯💯
Now they’re heading back to South Africa because it’s not the land of milk and honey Trump promised.
They say America is too expensive. Housing is brutal. Healthcare is a financial nightmare. And they’re scared of mass shootings.
All of these guys were given authority far beyond their expertise or intellect.
Sadly, they’re nowhere near as smart as they think they are. And that lack of self-awareness is very dangerous when coupled with power.
If you lost your job because of DOGE, this will enrage you.
They built a whole-ass crusade around “DEI,” then sent a staffer into a deposition who couldn’t even define it.
Justin Fox’s and his assignment was to help flag grants for elimination based on a term he struggled to explain under oath. 🥴
Minimal qualifications, and they didn’t reduce the deficit like they were tasked to. But they equate diversity with mediocrity. 🤷🏽♂️
Khanna on Fox News: "There was no imminent threat. Now there's a threat to the United States. We've created a threat."
Alternate headline: Trump administration response to Epstein files faces criticism.
My neighbor’s family was given passage to the USA from Holland by Gen Eisenhower because they hid and fed à downed US bomber crew. This guy helped the US for 10 years and was left to die in an ICE prison. Definitely not making America great again!
A bit of humanity goes a long way.
🎼 Reach out and touch somebody's hand, make this world a better place, if you can.
DHS funding is one thing. Voting another CENT for Israel’s Iran war is a redline.
We can debate Dems wavering on DHS because of ICE.
But ANY Democrat who even hints at backing a war supplemental MUST be primaried.
Being “different from Republicans” isn’t enough if the outcome is ALWAYS the same.🤦🏿♂️
Per the Geneva Conventions, which the United States signed on to, combatants who surrender are to be taken prisoner. “No quarter” means they are killed instead.
So when Pete Hegseth said “no quarter,” that wasn’t casual rhetoric. He was literally declaring a war crime.
with the country at war, the president is golfing today
They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.
Luttig: Every single time Donald Trump opens his mouth or takes an action, the American people are forced to go into court and litigate. That’s the tragic place America finds itself in today.
It is only the Supreme Court that is standing in the way of the American people saving their country.
Representative Tlaib’s endorsement means so much to me personally. She’s set a true example for what it means to be deeply rooted in transformative progressive values that never compromise.
I hope to join her in 2027 as the only other currently elected Palestinian in Congress!
The #NIH comprises less than 1% of the federal budget. 80% of that is allocated to universities and research institutions. That $$ ($36B) yielded $94 BILLION in new economic activity in 2025.
HASSETT: The latest number I was briefed on is $12 billion
BRENNAN: $12 billion for six weeks of war?
HASSETT: No, I'm sorry. The $12 billion was what I was briefed has been spent so far.
Afghan who fought for US forces dies in ICE custody as Trump on track for grim record

He wasn't just an asylum seeker. Paktyawal was an Afghan special forces soldier who worked with the U.S. Army's 3rd Special Forces Group. He was evacuated on August 30, 2021, entered the U.S. legally and had a pending case with a work permit and social security number. Killed by ICE maggots.
CARTOON OF THE DAY
(From slyngstad )
Trump defiles the honor of US soldiers killed in his illegal war. Wearing a baseball cap to the “dignified transfer” was undignified. Now Trump is fundraising while using a photo of troops’ flag-draped coffins. My sons will move to Canada, will NEVER fight for this pig

John's Bits an Pieces!

Quick reminder: there’s millions of Epstein files that remain hidden

What Epstein and his associates did wasn’t just a crime—they deliberately built a system designed to exploit the vulnerable using money, influence, & power.
That’s why this is more than just getting justice. This is about changing that system so that horrible things like this never happen again.
ICE hasn't slowed down. We must continue to speak up and defend our undocumented brothers and sisters.
Dark money campaign in IL-09 changed their shady website last night not to dispute reporting but to smear it with the fact that I worked w/ Abughazaleh's boyfriend at NBC 3 years ago. To be clear: Ben is cool. We used to work together. And that had no influence on this 100% true story. Send me tips!
