As a 35 year civil servant, I can say from experience that the Systematic Alien Verification Entitlement (SAVE) system is used by federal agencies to verify if someone with a green card, etc is legally able to receive federal benefits. It is NOT a system used to confirm citizenship.

I have this sinking feeling that the press ban just as Xi is here is very intentional to cover up what’s happening with China.

Robert Kraft, owner of the Gillette Stadium, New England Patriots, New England Revolution a (MLS) club and Patriot Place shopping center was the man who instigated the boycott against Macklemore. You know what to do. We can boycott people too.

New: Macklemore says Robert Kraft — who owns Gillette Stadium, where Macklemore & Ed Sheeran were to perform later this month — called Sheeran. Kraft rallied other owners together behind an ultimatum for Sheeran: if Macklemore stays on the tour, you won't be allowed in our venues.

The priorities of this administration are clearly only about enriching and protecting the rich. If you're rich, there are no consequences, the Constitution isn't worth the paper it's written on and laws are just for everyone else.

A poll worker in New York just got a visit from ICE agents while working Election Day and was told to delete an Instagram post. This is voter suppression. This is what a police state looks like. We cannot normalize this! #USDemocracy #Pinks newrepublic.com/post/212340/...

Trump and Musk’s DOGE “saved” $15 million by cutting a program dedicated to preventing the spread of screwworm. Now, there’s an outbreak infecting our beef and the administration is spending $1 BILLION. Peak incompetence.

Trump has used the clemency power like no president in history, freeing fraudsters, drug traffickers and corrupt politicians. But his pardon of over 1,000 Jan. 6 defendants stands apart. MS NOW is spotlighting the clemency granted to Jan. 6 defendants as part of a new series, “Justice Interrupted.”

Good god this is a crazy interview. Listen as Scott Pelley describes how Bari Weiss wanted journalists at CBS to cover the killing of Renee Good in Minnesota. This is why we can’t have oligarchs running our news outlets, this is absolutely devastating.

TYVM @rbreich.bsky.social I was wondering what happened to the original nonprofit set up with Bush and Obama. “…unlike “America250,” Trump’s “Freedom 250” is bankrolling events promoting Trump and his political agenda” Incredible how much damage he’s doing to the USA and the world. #Pinks #Vote

They just published rules requiring 80 hours of monthly work to keep Medicaid. And this will somehow stop medical offices from filing fraudulent claims?? They're confusing healthcare with cash assistance. Again. Meanwhile ppl are losing healthcare. Again.

REMINDER: The full effects of Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill don’t hit until after the 2026 midterms. That’s by design. Republicans want the votes first and the consequences caused by your pain, AFTER the election.

USPS is now on the verge of dramatically limiting voting by mail. The postal service is proposing a rule to limit mail-in voting for the midterms, expanding federal control over voting without congressional approval. It's a big step in Trump's plan to take over elections.

Lotta people, observing the empirical evidence, said Bovino’s a nazi. Many establishmentarians said they had “concerns” but insisted we resist “hyperbole.” Now, retired, first thing Bovino does? Speaks at a nazi confab.

Greg Bovino will speak at a white nationalist conference in Portugal tomorrow. He will share the stage with no fewer than five people who idolize Hitler, including one who joined a group created by two Nazi SS members. Another guy is a self-described racist who refers to women as "cockroaches."🧵

A day after The Late Show ended, Colbert hosted an episode of public access program Only In Monroe, reviving his 11-year-old gag. How bad is CBS/Paramount taking it? They issued copyright complaints for a show they don't own. 🤣 CBS would hate it if you watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DlF...

And now we know the REAL reason he couldn’t go to Jr’s wedding (besides the fact that the Bahamas doesn’t admit convicted felons)…he had to be in the White House for another “assassination attempt” to draw attention away from Epstein files, Iran, the slush fund, the ballroom, etc…

Testify at a Senate hearing today, Todd Blanche told Senator Chris Van Hollen he's met with Epstein survivors and their lawyers. Within hours, 18 Epstein survivors released a joint statement contradicting AAG Todd Blanche's testimony, directly accusing him of making false claims. I believe them.

The United States government just agreed to pay $1.8 billion to the United States president, approved by the president's own personal lawyer who represented him when he was convicted of 34 criminal counts. This is the biggest scandal in all of American political history.

Just unbelievable corruption. He said he would drain the swamp, instead he brought in the swampiest administration in history, declared himself Supreme Emperor of Swampopia, and ordered his justice department to essentially give his entirely family immunity.
