This Was Inevitable. And It Is Unforgivable. ICE Owns This. A warning ignored. A life lost. This cannot become routine.

Kristi Noem calling the victim’s actions “domestic terrorism” is propaganda. Full stop. I served as a White House homeland security advisor. I know what that designation means & when it’s misused. A U.S. citizen is dead. She was a mom. This is what ICE impunity looks like. It cannot be normalized.

Not enough people are talking about this:

Today, the Senate has one last chance to extend the ACA tax credits before they expire.

I’ll be voting to prevent health insurance premiums from more than doubling for millions of Americans. Every Republican senator should do the same.

In a world where it can often be difficult to find reasons for hope and optimism, Senator Faith Winter was always there to challenge us to do unimaginable things in the service of the people who need the most help.

We’ll miss her deeply. Hug your loved ones a little tighter.

Not three months ago, Bondi and Patel stated unequivocally that there was nothing more to investigate (but that is indeed the reason the will give for not releasing the files now)

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

Whatever Trump is desperately covering up about Epstein, it’s clearly so bad that he thinks it could destroy him

“Weaponizing the DOJ” takes on a whole new level when you order investigations in order to reopen it so it’s no longer closed and you can claim you can’t release information because it’s an “ongoing investigation”

(🧵) This thread from a retired journalism professor who helped usher in the era of metajournalism in the 2010s—and has written a book on the relationship between Trump and Epstein as part of his NYT-bestselling Proof Series—explains how to report properly on the Trump-Epstein Scandal.

Here we go.

As @rbreich.bsky.social notes billionaires and their families own X, Paramount, CBS, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, the Washington Post, Amazon, MGM, Fox News, the Wall Street Journal and New York Post, and could soon own Warner Bros and CNN

And they are all Trump supporters

"Liberal media" indeed

The northern lights are stunning from the Denver Metro area tonight. I took this with my phone camera. They look much more brilliant that way.

The difference between France in 1793 and the United States in 2025?

Marie Antoinette was *indifferent* to people starving.

But Donald Trump is using every trick at his disposal to *make sure* they do.

Democratic members of CO's congressional delegation are calling on the FAA to approve Denver International Airport's plan to use its funds to pay air traffic controllers. #copolitics

SNAP has existed for 60 years. Benefits have gone out every single month over those six decades, including during government shutdowns. Until now.

Make no mistake: The money is available to fund SNAP during this shutdown. Trump is making a choice to withhold it.

Don’t forget this.

In 2001, terrorists tried to destroy the White House with a hijacked plane. 24 years later, the president of the United States accepted a plane from people funding terrorists and destroyed the White House himself.🔄

190. SNAP WTF? A very quick explainer on what (and why) Justice Jackson issued an "administrative stay" in the SNAP case late on Friday night, and on what's likely to happen next

Read about WHY Ketanji Brown Jackson stayed the SNAP order. Her move is probably the best solution for getting SNAP benefits approved quickly. open.substack.com/pub/stevevla...

I’m just saying, but if I had just gotten completely shellacked on Tuesday, I wouldn’t be asking SCOTUS to let me starve millions of people 3 days later.

I’ve never seen an American elected official fight so hard to starve people.

Trump administration asks for emergency pause on judge's order to fully fund SNAP The administration has said it cannot draw from money set aside for child nutrition programs, known as Section 32 funding, to pay for SNAP during the government shutdown.

Breathtaking arrogance that Donald Trump builds his $350 million ballroom while simultaneously asking for an emergency pause to keep food from hungry kids and seniors. Step aside, Marie-Antionette. No cake for them!

Australia has so much solar that it's offering everyone free electricity Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Money donations to a larger food bank like the Greater Boston Food Bank can go twice as far as food donations because they buy food in bulk.

Consider this as an option when you’re thinking about helping your neighbors out.

Ettingermentum writes: “Actually what on earth is in those files bro.” The image from Courier Newsroom headline reads: “Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva is now the longest Rep-elect in history to not be sworn in. Mike Johnson still refuses to swear in Rep-elect Grijalva over fear of releasing the Epstein files.” The picture shows Grijalva in a red jacket beside Speaker Mike Johnson.

Swear her in. Release the Epstein Files.

The initial death toll of the massacres in El Fasher, Sudan by the UAE backed RSF terrorists is now at 2,000 according to local sources. Satellite imagery spotted massive stains of blood all over the city. At least 80,000 people are still unaccounted for. #Sudan_War_Updates

Is the tide starting to turn? One can hope...

Hours before this he was bragging about how he supposedly aced a cognitive exam.

'Venezuela ahead' billboard warns drivers entering Colorado The sign referencing fears about migrants bears the name of a billionaire megadonor for Donald Trump.

Food insecurity is ALWAYS a political choice. Famine is ALWAYS manmade. People go hungry because of other people’s decisions. We have more than enough food for everyone, and enormous amounts of it are wasted—literally thrown in the garbage—on purpose.
