Every state should do this

Five Republicans just voted with Democrats to subpoena AG Bondi over Epstein files. She will now need to sit for a deposition under oath. Trump is losing his grip on his party, over both Epstein and his deepening unpopularity. Keep speaking up. It's working.

Noem deserved to be fired. That is a win for the forces of the Constitution. But the fact that Trump launched a war with the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism and then days into it fired his Homeland Security secretary is a level of reckless incompetence that should get him fired too.

“Donald Trump’s White House is blocking top US intelligence agencies from warning law enforcement across the country about rising threats to the homeland tied to his war with Iran, the Daily Mail can reveal”

Under Article I, Section 8, Clause 11 of the U.S. Constitution, Congress holds the exclusive power to formally declare war, ensuring this decision rests with elected representatives rather than a single executive. Or, at least, that was the idea. Trump’s act is as lawless as it is reckless.

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Kristi Noem: "Everything I've done, I've done at the direction of the president and Stephen"

Our system of checks and balances has stood as a bulwark against tyranny for 250 years. The way it works is no one man can dictate how our government works. Congress makes laws, the president executes the laws, and courts make sure laws and rights are protected. We give that up at our peril.

ICE GOONS hanging out in the lobby of Glendale Memorial Hospital

The Queen of the Night (Epiphyllum oxypetalum) blooms once a year at night.

Padilla: "What if I was outside a Home Depot, because I like to do some work around the house, not dressed in a suit. Would I be a target of ICE enforcement under Tom Homan? Probably. And it is just wrong."

George Retes’s family says he was not taking part in the protest, he was just trying to reverse his car to leave the area as tensions rose. That’s when federal agents attacked him. HE IS A US CITIZEN AND DISABLED VETERAN. Fascist thugs. Where is Congress?! #AbolishICE.

🚨NEW: When ICE raided a Californian farm yesterday, they snatched & disappeared a disabled US veteran who was in his car. They smashed his window, peppered sprayed him & dragged him to the floor. Listen to his wife & sister here, distraught. No-one will tell them where he is. (🎥 ABC 7 News)

UPDATE: Three days on, disabled veteran and US citizen George Retes is still missing after being kidnapped by ICE. His wife has phoned every law enforcement agency in the area, they all say they don’t know where he is. It was his daughter’s third birthday yesterday. This is America now.

Brooke Rollins on farm laborers: "There will be no amnesty. The mass deportations continue, but in a strategic way. And we move the workforce toward automation and 100% American participation, which with 34 million able-bodied on Medicaid we should be able to do fairly quickly."

I rarely post personal things. But I need to talk about my 4-year-old niece, Hope. She has a rare disease. A drug called elamipretide has helped her survive. But the FDA recently denied its approval. Now, her health hangs in the balance. Please share her story & urge the FDA to reconsider. 🧵

I look forward to Stephen Miller being tried for his crimes against humanity--along with Tom Homan and Kristi Noem--and receiving the most severe penalties allowed by law.

"2024 Presidential and Senate Results Called Into Question as Lawsuit Advances" Our lawsuit challenging the 2024 presidential & U.S. Senate election results in Rockland County NY is moving forward to the discovery phase. The press release ran on the AP wires yesterday apnews.com/press-releas...

The people at @smartelections.bsky.social are moving forward with a major lawsuit in NY over this obvious instance of fraud that took place in the 2024 Election... [ Reposted from @realdlhughley.bsky.social on Instagram ]

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Joe, my brother and my friend You’ve led with strength and heart through every storm. Now we stand with you. Praying for healing, peace, and continued courage. You are not alone. With love and respect, – Bennie

January 6th was more than an attack on the Capitol it was an attack on democracy. The hate, violence, and division on display showed how deep the wounds are in our country. We can never forget, and we must stand against hate to heal and move forward. #StandAgainstHate

How is this any American women’s reality in the year 2025? www.propublica.org/article/texa...

Actually it’s Trump & his entire admin’s mission. Disgusting! 🤢🤬

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. First Trump illegally sent a child’s father to be imprisoned without trial or due process in El Salvador. Then ICE grabbed her mother to be deported to Venezuela. But despite the mom saying she wanted to leave with her daughter, ICE is keeping the baby!

Full story. The Trump admin is *defending* this as a deliberate decision. They claimed both the child’s parents are in Tren de Aragua (without presenting any evidence) and therefore are arguing that this is in the child’s best interest. Of course, they didn’t file any case. They just took the baby.

Yep. Core to this administration is the belief by nearly all the people currently running the throne that expertise is inherently suspicious and that they can simply run things better themselves if they don't have any pesky nerds around to question them and push back on their first instincts.

Judge Xinis: "detainees are kept in CECOT “pending the United States’ decision on their long-term disposition.” SCOTUS: return him 🇺🇸 America: return all of them

SCOTUS, in a 9-0 vote ruled to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back. He refused. Judge Xinis ordered him to report back to her on his status. He refused. Only dictators ignore the judiciary and rule of law. Who's next? It could be anyone, if we don't continue to speak out and take to the streets.

😡

"We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately." - Benjamin Franklin

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia. I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

JUST IN: Judge Boasberg finds probable cause to hold administration in contempt of court for defying his order to turn around planes, demands new details in order for officials to “purge” their contempt. Details TK

Breaking: Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen just announced he'll depart tomorrow (Wednesday) for El Salvador to attempt to secure the release of Maryland man Kilmar Abrego Garcia. "We must urgently continue working to return Kilmar safely home to Maryland."

Judge Xinis in Tuesday eve order homes in on key issue: "Abrego Garcia appears to remain inexplicably detained in CECOT." She cites text in written agreement with El Salvador showing US control: That detainees are kept in CECOT “pending the United States’ decision on their long-term disposition.”
