This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

Rodney Harrison just schooled Tony Dungy on HOF leaving Belichick out.

I am gutted by the death of Catherine O’Hara.

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

The only thing keeping Russia from collapsing is oil sales. If the price of oil continues to fall Russia is done. In other news Republicans in Congress want to buy a billion dollars in Venezuelan oil that we can't use. Just buy it with our tax dollars for absolutely no reason propping up prices.

Why do the Dems keep returning to the “No Kings” theme? It means less every time it is re-employed. How about marches where we demand Congress to impeach and convict? Put pressure every Republican in Congress and get the unhinged lunatic out of office.

And now the US is going to seize Venezuelan oil to sell to other countries. Of course. What other nations are at risk as Trump attacks with no purpose other than to distract from domestic problems and build his “legacy?”

Another winter has arrived after Helene, and hundreds of western NC homeowners whose homes were destroyed and who are seeking a buy-out are still in limbo waiting on FEMA for approval. DHS owes these families answers.

Susie Wiles, wth! Keep going!

Zelenskyy goes on offensive! Humiliates Putin AND Trump. Measles outbreak accelerates. Bird Flu outbreak set to spike egg prices again. Russia attacks Turkish ships, a NATO Ally. Trump does NOTHING! Coffee With Texas Paul goes live at 11 am Eastern. Join us in the live chat.

I like presidents who don’t spread lies during tragedies. Seriously, Trump is a reprehensible piece of shit.

It seems Americans have gotten way too good at processing a mass shooting and moving on. Congress, you are responsible. In the meantime, families are devastated. I’m so sad and sickened.

Impeach and remove. Indict and convict.

Make America poor again. Make America hungry again. Make America sick again. Make America choose between heat and insulin again. Make America work three jobs again. Is this what anyone voted for?

The Epstein files are important, but not releasing the economic data for October is damning. The economy has completely tanked and the Trump government is refusing to and or incapable of carrying out its basic functions. share.google/e726OJJXXxry...

Today, the president of the United States said that multiple US senators should be put to death for treason and articles of impeachment have not been filed yet. This country is cooked. Done. Finished.

Many communities in Charlotte, North Carolina, were reeling after federal Customs and Border Protection teams descended on the city at the weekend and arrested at least 81 people.

Our office is aware of reports that the Border Patrol is bringing its operation to Raleigh.

@ncgovernor.bsky.social Gov. Stein, please address Trump directly and demand that he remove ICE agents at once. Charlotte is living in fear, and I worry about the next NC city to be invaded.

Why does Trump think he’s entitled to a meeting with Mamdani? If I’m ZM, that’s a hard no.

Waiting on the outcome of the new districts in CA…

As your Senator, I will fight for affordable health care, clean air and water, lower costs, and so much more. Will you pitch in to help get me to the Senate? https://secure.actblue.com/donate/roy_cooper_social/?refcode=bsky-103125

Are JD Vance and Speaker Mike Johnson engaged in a "Lie-Off," where they must compete to see who can tell the most shameless lies the most relentlessly? If so, it's very competitive.

apropos of nothing..

What USA thinks it's #1 in (and its actual rankings): Life Expectancy: 46th FreePress: 42nd Healthcare: 30th Education: 26th Happiness: 23rd Freedom: 17th What the USA is #1 in: Military Spending Number of Billionaires Incarceration Bankruptcy filings Medical debt Gun deaths Funding israel

Trump is willingly withholding SNAP benefits from over 40 million Americans because he would rather use hunger as a bargaining chip than tap into emergency funding. It is a government’s job to protect its citizens, not use them as pawns.

It would be amazing if MAGA politicians and people would watch Ken Burns’ Revolution series. They could all use a refresher in American political principles.

This shutdown could kill people. Air traffic control walkouts, lack of medical care, and cancellation of food benefits are all pending this week. However, the Dems cannot give in! Otherwise, cuts to vital programs for low-income families become permanent.

Is rule of law still a thing? No one gets called on the graft and influence peddling. Separation of powers? The private donations to military salaries are worse than Iran Contra. Does Trump really have the authority to wage war against some poor Latin nation to distract from the Epstein files?

For God’s sake!

271 days in charge of WNC's federal recovery, and now Michael Whatley is telling folks it's "unrealistic" to expect full reimbursement? Public service is about using your power to help people, not making excuses.

Good.

Republicans’ games aside, not swearing in Adelita Grijalva is leaving a district of 813,000 people without representation.

There's just no way to exaggerate how cooked your brain has to be to think like this. Trump is an unprecedented, law-breaking, norm-breaking, increasingly demented maniac who is destroying this country's basic institutions. Like, right now! As we speak! But media elites find that boring.

The @nytimes.com editors probably feel they broke that Santos story, and they don't have any ownership of the #NoKings events So their blinkered attitude is that "their" story must be more important
