Hate our winters but there is no place in the country I’d rather live than the great state of MA.

Hitler wrote Mein Kampf — part autobiography, part revenge manifesto, part how-to guide for dismantling the post–World War I order.

No one took it seriously, just like Project 2025

It is a wonder I am not in jail for snatching their radio and hurling into the ocean. I was born, raised, and still live in MA and I don’t care if these are supposed to be my people; they were the absolute worst. 🤣

Tom is not a Masshole. I was just sitting behind a group of Massholes at the beach. They had a flag w a pic of the National Grid rainbow tank AND a flag w Boston sports team logos staked in the sand & blared horrible country music at top volume, which they yelled over in Boston accents at each other

A dozen or more transgender members of the U.S. Air Force who had sought early retirement to avoid being discharged for their gender identity have had those retirements canceled. Each has served between 15 and 18 years.

Friday night Tequila Tweet: It’s fucking disgraceful & despicable that Trump is meeting Putin on American soil. ON AMERICAN SOIL. Putin is a fucking war criminal who invaded a sovereign nation & killed/destroyed the lives of millions of Ukrainians. No fucking way should Putin be on American soil.

He Came to the U.S. to Support His Sick Child. He Was Detained. Then He Disappeared. Like most of the more than 230 Venezuelan men deported to a Salvadoran prison, José Manuel Ramos Bastidas had followed U.S. immigration rules. Then Trump rewrote them.

Calling from a Texas detention center, José Manuel Ramos Bastidas told his wife to hit record:

“They detained me simply because of my tattoos. I am not a criminal.”

“Just in case something happens to me, so you can be aware.”

A month later, he was gone.

Avelo Airlines deportation flights hard to track On the heels of protests, NBC Connecticut Investigates has been digging into Avelo’s role in deportation flights. Our camera was rolling when a white, odd-looking Avelo plane without any branding land...

"Our camera was rolling when a white, odd-looking Avelo plane without any branding landed at Tweed Airport in East Haven in July.

Using a hex code unique to each plane, tracking software showed us it’s one of 3 aircraft operated by Avelo for deportations..."

Being transgender is not misconduct. These servicemembers have a reliance argument (contract law) that should succeed in court. Otherwise what’s to prevent any admin from just finding arbitrary reason to dismiss military people right before they retire??

NEW: GOP Sen. John Cornyn says FBI Director Kash Patel has agreed to his request for FBI agents to help locate the Texas House Democrats who fled the state.

How is this even legal?

NPR obtained bodycam footage showing Jared Wise beating police officers on Jan. 6 and yelling “kill ’em” as rioters attacked.
He now works as a senior adviser in Trump’s DOJ.

“Back the blue,” right?

COMMENTARY: Colorado's House Republicans again face allegations of inappropriate behavior toward women. Colorado deserves better leadership than a cafeteria table full of the meanest girls and most immature guys you remember from high school. #copolitics

Thank you Geoff Duncan for becoming a Democrat. I became a Democrat two months ago. It’s good to be on the side of democracy, the rule of law, and basic human decency. Welcome my friend. Let’s help make Dems a big tent. Great to have you on board.

It's hard to describe how dangerous what Texas and Missouri are doing. They are simply trying to steal Congress in the middle of the decade to help Trump. It's about a direct effort of the President to get his allies to ensure voters don't get an equal voice in their representation to preserve power
