“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.” Matthew 6:5-6

Video of an ICE agent pulling a gun on a wife and mother, who is a US citizen born and raised in the area, near Bailey's Crossroads in Northern Virginia yesterday. Chillingly, they claimed she “almost ran them over” until she told them she had video proving that was a lie.

Replying to @muellershewrote.com

My reading is the DSA wants to abolish the system that rewards the rich & imprisons the poor. If they wanted to abolish prisons, they would say it clearly - like when they say abolish ICE. The prison system platform is entitled "End Mass Incarceration and Police Immunity", not "Abolish Prisons."

The New York Times quotes MAGA Rep. Brian Mast as saying Iran has been “attacking everybody’s ships” in the Strait of Hormuz “for decades.” This is patently false, but NYT doesn’t dispute it. NYT seems to think fairness means letting Republicans lie in its stories.

Angus: We have these MAGA politicians basically threatening they’re going to come over the border if we don’t fix the climate catastrophe. We’ve always crossed the border to help each other. We’re mourning the loss of a Canadian firefighter who died in Colorado, helping put out an American fire.

WOW. The Trump admin just barred the FBI from investigating cases where DHS officers get into confrontations with immigrants or citizens. ICE HSI will lead all investigations, yet HSI has no jurisdiction to investigate civil rights violations. The fox is guarding the henhouse.

BREAKING NYT: Federal agents around the country were told in recent days that the FBI would no longer investigate confrontations with immigration agents — cases that sometimes yield evidence that could be used to prosecute DHS agents implicated in violent encounters.

One thing is clear from Trump's speech: whoever was in charge during the 2020 election belongs nowhere near the presidency. That person sounds as corrupt as they come!

WTF. "Marx has also made a number of wild, unverifiable claims, including that at the age of 7, his stepfather forced him to kill a man. 'Yes, I was made to shoot a man who I watched get buried, and that affected me deeply most of my life.'" www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

so fucking rich that while he was talking AP reported this: "Writer E. Jean Carroll can collect $5.8 million awarded to her after a jury found that President Donald Trump sexually abused and defamed her, a federal judge ruled Wednesday. Trump’s lawyers immediately appealed to stop the payment."

On July 4th, remember this: ICE is one of the most unconstitutional, anti-American forces to operate in the USA in our lifetime. We built PAXIS.app to help people fight back lawfully, constitutionally: gofundme.com/f/PAXIS Help us get it into the hands of every immigrant, every ally.

Marco Rubio is against birthright citizenship. But Marco Rubio *is* a birthright citizen. Ted Cruz is against birthright citizenship. But Ted Cruz was born in Canada. He only got US citizenship by a birthright citizenship law because of his US mother. They are both shameless hypocrites.

Looking forward to all the schoolchildren in Texas, being taught the Bible under Texas's new Christian nationalist law, finding out that Ken Paxton and his mistress should be stoned to death for committing adultery. Glory!

Congress can pass all the laws it wants, but this court will gut them unless Congress strips jurisdiction. We have to add four seats, have 18 year term limits with senior status and staggered appointments, and create actual ethics rules with consequences. Project 2029.

The Supreme Court gutted independent agencies. Congress must fight back. After the conservative majority’s ruling in Trump v. Slaughter, it’s up to the legislative branch to protect Americans.

Going on foreign soil and announcing, without *any* evidence that American elections are dishonest—simply because you are a lying sore loser—should be an impeachable offense. Presidents should not be allowed to intentionally undermine confidence in the US to leaders overseas.

And just like that, it completely VANISHED from the media. But a sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record The Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children. Don't trust me... listen to him 👇

Ken Paxton freed a man who raped a boy for 3 years, reducing his sentence from 6 years to 1 day. He also doesn't have to register as a sex offender. The reason: the perp is Paxton's college roommate and a loyal and active MAGA Republican.

texastribune.orgInside Ken Paxton’s plea deal for a child sex abuse caseCritics are pointing to two other serious felony cases that the attorney general’s prosecutors took to trial that ended in mistrials and, eventually, plea deals.

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man." A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

I spoke to President Trump on the phone last hour about the end of negotiations with the Iranians. He told me: “I don’t care if they’re over, honestly. I really don’t care. I couldn’t care less. If they’re over, they’re over. If they’re not, you know, I think they took too much time.”

I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline. “Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet. Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming. Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”
