This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

At some point we need to stop pretending these are "conservative" justices and start calling them what they've become: activist justices advancing a political agenda. Court expansion. Term limits. Ethics reform. Everything should be on the table. Doing nothing is no longer an option.

Expanding the Supreme Court is the moderate position.

Private prison company GEO Group, which runs Delaney Hall, gave $1M+ to Trump's Super PAC in 2024 and his inauguration in 2025. Not only has Trump since rewarded GEO with billions in ICE contracts, but a top former GEO executive has now been named acting ICE director. Cashing in on cruelty.

Red states didn’t wait. The second SCOTUS butchered the Voting Rights Act, they went all in. Louisiana: Roughly one-third Black, and now they’re pushing maps that could leave the state with zero Black representation in Congress. The solution: Blue states need to match the urgency.

As the world erupts in chaos and is literally on fire, I still remain proud AF to have voted for Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris because both of these highly qualified intelligent women would be leading the United States into prosperity instead of destroying it from within.

No healthcare. No free school lunch. No child cancer research. But those f*ckers have the audacity to set fire to $11 billion of our taxpayer funds by blowing up little Iranian girls??? I can't WAIT for the midterms. 🤬

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!" Social Security - "That's socialism!" Debt free education - "That's socialism!" Universal childcare - "That's socialism!" $1 billion per day on a war in the Middle East that no one wants, while millions of people at home struggle. "That's just how it is."

Raskin: "I want the whole country to look at this. This is the attorney general of the US whose job is law enforcement. We've never had a witness who has misunderstood our rules and been unable to conform his or her conduct to our rules before. Excuse me."

Frey: "In Mpls, we heard them say they'll end this siege when we hand over voter rolls. The DOJ is being used as a weapon. They're investigating me and several other local elected officials not because we've done something wrong because we speak on behalf of our constituents.

Walz: An hour by hour day by day basis, the President has chosen, chosen to throw our economy into turmoil. We are talking about a guy that slapped a 10% tariff on an island populated only by penguins. It would be funny as hell if it wasn't true and stupid.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers. Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

I am pissed. If you want change, you talk to smart people who can come up with better solutions. Which is why I ask questions on here When we come up with better solutions , it makes the guy in the WH look bad and hopefully gets people to rethink who they support

Some breaking news in my latest. Others pointed out that Witkoff appeared to be in Moscow when he joined the Houthi PC Group chat. Sky News has a detailed story on his timeline in Moscow. I ran that against the timeline from the Atlantic article. Witkoff was waiting for Putin when he was added.(1/2)
