Also, the problem is CBP writ large. “The population of CBP agents and officers who have been arrested since 2005 would make it roughly the nation’s fourth largest police department — equal to the size of the entire Philadelphia police.” www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/accountabi...

doomsdayscenario.coAccountability for ICE and CBPHowever bad you think the corruption and misconduct at ICE and CBP is — the reality is far far worse.

This article is a very good example of why "more training" and "more vetting" isn't the answer. Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez joined Border Patrol in 2018 and 2014 respectively. These aren't new agents. www.propublica.org/article/alex...

Pedophile protectors. Brutal Street thugs. Harboring accused murderers. Attacking peaceful protesters. Concentration camps. Child kidnappers. Bounty hunters. Money laundering. Grifters. Propagandists. Villainaires. Synchophants.

Home invaders. Shredding the Constitution. Backstabbing allies. Destroying trade. Racists & xenophobes run riot. Currency & bonds destabilized. Russia can do no wrong. Coalition of despots. Tracking protestors. Arresting journalists. Destroy the White House. I give you the GOP* legacy.

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

There is literally NOTHING in the U.S. economy that is as good or better than it was eight months ago. NOT ONE THING! Everything is worse, most especially inflation.

Conservatism died. Rw political philosophy is now a ghoulish plot, stitching together manipulated lies, manufactured fears, and stoked rage. Then it makes sense. This isn't government. This isn't politics. This is a horror show.

It will never be comprehensible or forgivable that the man who incited a deadly insurrection and attack on our Capitol was able to run again and retake the levers of power.

Conservatism is dead. What is now posing as 'conservative' is criminal authoritarianism, following a treasonous moron, wrapped with fear and anger based "christian" nationalism. Its a horror show cobbled together into a fractured "philosophy" that makes no rational sense.

Laughing in front of cages designed to hold migrants and refugees, many of whom came to this country fleeing extreme violence and poverty, and hoping to raise their children in a more compassionate country. And many of whom followed all the legal procedures to enter the country.

Sen. Kelly: Kiana Brown, a woman I met has kids she adopted through with significant health care needs. Because they came from foster care, her kids get Medicaid. She told me, 'the Republicans are burning down my house, and my kids are inside.' I think folks like Kiana Brown are going to remember

I am sure people understand that destroying Medicaid will increase their own health insurance costs. Right? Unpaid, uninsured, uncollectable ER costs will skyrocket, and hospitals will force insurance companies to increase reimbursements. That's obvious, right? Right?

The Big Ugly Bill is-in part-a smokescreen to cover the MAGA agenda Which is to destroy the Affordable Care Act This was ALWAYS the plan "The bill 'will move us as a nation back to the same percentage of uninsured before Obamacare'" But it's worse Rural hospitals will close And people will die

Billionaires are using a loophole to avoid Medicare taxes. Closing it — and eliminating other ways around the tax for wealthy business owners — could raise more than $250 billion over 10 years for the program. (Published Dec. 2024)

propublica.orgHow a Decades-Old Loophole Lets Billionaires Avoid Medicare TaxesSome of Wall Street’s richest and most powerful figures are using a legal loophole to avoid paying millions of dollars in taxes earmarked for health care, a ProPublica investigation found.

"I’m sorry if I’m not adequately sympathetic to Lisa Murkowski’s plight, but she understands the consequences of her actions. She says the vote was difficult– she voted for it! That’s not difficult. You don’t get credit for doing the hard thing when you don’t actually DO the hard thing."

"Alligator Alcatraz" is wrong and media should not use it. It's propaganda. Alcatraz held people convicted of crimes, particularly violent crimes. The Florida camp holds people *not* convicted of any crime. If they had been, they'd be in prison elsewhere. The site is a textbook concentration camp.

Charles Johnson@charles.littlegreenfootballs.com

I know the media is going to unthinkingly start using “Alligator Alcatraz,” but it’s disgusting and sadistic and I intend to call it what it is, a fucking concentration camp, and fuck those people who are doing this and giving it a cutesy name.

For this, I spoke to the renowned Dr. Paul Offit. He said, “As head of the ACIP, Dr. Kulldorff should be aware of the differences between ethylmercury, which is harmless and the level contained in vaccines, and methylmercury, which has a much longer half-life and can be toxic at high quantities.”

NEW: The death shadow cast by Musk. “When U.S.-supported soup kitchens were forced to close, babies starved quietly, their mothers said, while older siblings died begging for food.” The world’s richest man did this to the world’s poorest children. Don’t ever forget.

Conservatism as a political movement is dead. GOP* has morphed into criminal authoritarianism. They've embraced the cult of personality of a greedy moron. They've discarded the poor, and insult the educated. Full blown racist policies with xenophobic borders. Get a shovel & bury the idea. Its gone.

We're in a literal tornado of trouble, with so many destructive 'decisions' by the Heritage Foundation, authors of Project 2025. Here's 1 -Defense department will no longer help our hurricane prediction center. Couple that with FEMA telling even red states to pound sand, and things are going south.

1,500+ at our Townhall in Wichita, Kansas this morning. Working people across the nation are pissed off about this rigged economy, and they’re showing up. Wichita’s Congressman refuses to host a Townhall, so we pulled up instead.

Ketamine abuse in today's news. I refreshed my query to Claude AI. It created some interesting reading about the dangers of this NMDA receptor class 'party' drug. It is NOT a drug that people should use to party but many do. Now, we have a disaster in our government due, in part by a drug addict.🧵
