BREAKING 35 former federal judges move to reopen Trump v. IRS in an effort to kill the $1.776B slush fund. Doc buff.ly/1065CA7

One thing is crystal clear, two Americans, with no criminal record, would still be alive today if Trump didn’t needlessly send 3,000 ICE agents to Minneapolis.

BREAKING: U.S. Border Patrol Cmdr. Greg Bovino appears to throw tear gas into Minnesota crowd

It’s clear what the regime is doing. They’re committing murder. They’re escalating violence in Minneapolis & beyond. They want a conflagration so Trump can blame the victims & initiate the Insurrection Act. It’s plain as day…and we need Dems in Congress to stop funding the lawless Homeland Security.

Americans need to keep the protests going until the officer is criminally charged and Kristi Noem is forced to resign.

NEW VIDEO FOOTAGE: This appears to come from murderer Jonathan Ross’ body cam or cell phone. You can clearly see Renee Good turn her steering wheel to avoid him, and after he shoots her in the face, you hear him say “Fucking bitch.” www.instagram.com/reel/DTTNCQr...

ICE just murdered a U.S. citizen. This violence is the direct result of racist rhetoric coming from Donald Trump and his allies. This is dangerous state-sanctioned violence. We will not stay silent while unqualified masked federal agents terrorize our communities.

GOP Rep. Salazar won't criticize Trump calling a woman reporter "piggy" -- "President Trump is a very different type of politician. But I always say I look at his policies and not his personality. Nobody is perfect."

People like me and 42M that receive SNAP Benefits every month don't even have cake to eat without the help and assistance of the USDA. We can if we're lucky ask others or food pantries (that are stretched to the MAX). Like Senator Elizabeth Warren said this week, "Donald Trump told us to EAT DIRT!"

Blowback on the HHS Tylenol recommendation is just beginning: Judge Cote said all five experts who testified in the unsuccessful lawsuit against Kenvue “have not served to enlighten but to obfuscate the weakness of the evidence on which they purport to rely and the contradictions in the research.

What I've gradually learned over the last decade is that at any given moment you can count on American businesses and institutions to do whatever the most cowardly fucking thing is When America collapses, as it now seems it will, I hope to God historians recall and write about this cowardice first

It’s time to teach Susan Collins a lesson.

Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.

Sen. Warren on Trump's attempt to fire Fed Governor Lisa Cook: "The illegal attempt to fire Lisa Cook is the latest example of a desperate President searching for a scapegoat ... It's an authoritarian power grab that blatantly violates the Federal Reserve Act, and must be overturned in court."

Let’s be clear: deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda makes no sense—it’s not his home country. Nothing about this process has been fair. ICE is targeting him with cruelty. This is the weaponization of government, not justice.

Question for Mike Flood: With $450 million being allocated to Alligator Alcatraz, and ICE burning through $8.4 million a day to illegally detain people—How much does it cost for fascism? How much do the tax payers have to pay for a fascist country?

The $250k exclusion hasn't been raised in decades. At minimum, that should be raised. Alternatively and better yet, they should bring back the tax free rollover for selling a residence and buying a replacement.

It is not only sad but dangerous that so many experienced career law enforcement individuals are being purged for no valid reason. Criminals, foreign and domestic, must be thrilled.
