Yep

do not worry people his not walking in a straight line is purely a security measure

JD Vance running around the country saying he’s fighting health care fraud while his nominee for the senate in TX who he completely supports is partying in Dubai with a guy whole stole over $300 million in health care fraud and gave Paxton $190,000. This is the Republican Party.

I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings

Well. This is horrifying . How can the United States of American be being led by this insane person?

Flock is very serious surveillance technology that cops take very seriously: 404media.co/cops-search-...

NEW: DHS's Inspector General releases a scathing report about the Everglades detention camp known as "Alligator Alcatraz." The OIG finds that the now-closed camp, violated multiple ICE standards. The OIG also confirms detainees were punished with placement in a metal cage in the Florida heat.🧵

This is truly unhinged. I don’t want to hear “oh, it’s just Trump being Trump” or he’s “trolling” Republicans cannot keep shrugging this off. Congress, the Cabinet + everyone around him has a responsibility to stop enabling this dangerous behavior and start asking whether he is fit to hold office.

I should add that the uncritical coverage of all this by the press including many in the mainstream media that celebrated Trump's illegal attack on Venezuela as a "success" deserves scrutiny & criticism of its own. As does the complicity of many in Trump's cabinet and the compliance of the Congress.

What has happened in Venezuela and what's about to happen demands investigation, forensic audits, int'l scrutiny. We need to know terms, details. We need to see the financial terms and monitor what happens. And if it is as corrupt as it seems, Trump belongs in jail next to Maduro (or in his place.)

...that violates international law and that could well turn out to be a massive mafia-style shakedown scheme to benefit the anti-democratic forces in Venezuela and the US, the president's friends and supporters, possibly the president and his family?

...but we don't know where the money's going, how it is going to benefit the US, if it is going to benefit the US, who's privately going to benefit, what side deals have been struck with the corrupt leaders of their country or ours, & we are supposed to celebrate this act of aggression and theft...

So, let me get this straight, the US illegally attacks a country, kidnaps its president, threatens its government with massive military force, gets them to hand over to US control a huge portion of their national assets, hails the billions it has already brought in and promises billions more...

I think that the correct repsonse is to try Trump and his cabinet and advisors for treason and then exile them to Haiti or Venezuela, and just dump them on the streets in an undisclosed location and time, naked, and let nature take it’s course.

Over the past month, New York has welcomed the world. From neighborhood watch parties to the stadium, we’ve celebrated the communities that make our city the global capital of the beautiful game. Today, we close out a historic World Cup, proud of how New Yorkers showed up every step of the way.

The bill for this is absolutely astronomical and climbing exponentially. But nobody spends other people’s money like Trump and nobody seems to care about the national debt so put it on our national credit card so we can hand over an insolvent country to the millennials.

No lies detected.

Thank you

Really need people to stop saying that the Minnesota 15 are going to be fine, that their charges will be dropped like ours. That was four days before trial, was NOT supposed to happen, and only did because of persistent, diligent, and incredible work by our lawyers.

Actor Gary Sinise took over 1,000 children of fallen soldiers to Disneyland, free of charge

A warning to anyone planning to attend a World Cup game: Do not attend a World Cup game in the United States. Even American citizens are at risk of being kidnapped, beaten, murdered, or placed in an inhumane detention facility. A football (soccer) game is not worth the risk. STAY HOME!!

Privatizing prisons and detention facilities is one of the worst public policy decisions this country has ever made. bsky.app/profile/atru...

MacFarlane: What the historic preservationists are arguing is that the Reflecting Pool is supposed to be the color it’s always been. It’s supposed to be what they call achromatic—no color. Because when it doesn’t have color, it does a better job of reflecting…

It's Blue!💙

Sen. Andy Kim: "It's a choice. Delaney Hall is run by GEO Group. GEO Group is getting a nearly $1 billion contract to run Delaney Hall. They tell me there is one full-time doctor for 800 detainees. They could have more doctors if they wanted to, but that's cutting into their profits."

I’m George Conway, a constitutional lawyer and co-founder of the Lincoln Project. We’ve got to protect our democracy from Trump’s deranged, egomaniacal descent into authoritarianism. But Congress is doing NOTHING to stop Trump, and it’s time for a change.

I’ve been traveling. Did the Sunday shows talk at all about the fact that Trump’s 60 days for his attack on Iran under the War Powers Act is up this week, or did all last night’s dinner incident take up all the oxygen?

KING: Can you update us on Russian intel sharing w/ Iran? GABBARD: That answer would be for a closed session K: But is it occurring? G: What I can say is according to the Dept of War, any support Iran is receiving is not inhibiting operational effects K: That's the first cousin of 'yes,' I guess

Kash Patel refused to deny that the FBI is buying up Americans' location data. This is a shocking end run around the 4th amendment and exactly why we need to pass real privacy reforms NOW.

GOP Sen Lummis says she’s changed her mind after the new Epstein revelations today: “Initially my reaction to all this was, I don’t care. I don’t see what the big deal is. But now I see what the big deal is. The members of Congress who were pushing this were not wrong!”

Kristi Noem is a total disaster. With 187 cosponsors already on board, it's time for coward Mike Johnson & Congress to finish the job: IMPEACH HER NOW! Join the fight:

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.

Traitors They told us that they were pro-life That all lives mattered too They turn away when children die Their lies are coming due They said they’d fight for freedom They said don’t tread on me But hatred was their drug of choice They joined with tyranny

They said they were America First They’d stand for our country But Russia was their dealer They bowed and bent the knee Their fall from grace was hard and fast Their hate we would not miss These tiny men with blackened souls Send them to the abyss!

Minnesota is grieving. But we’re resolved. The support we’ve received from across the country has energized us, and given us hope. It’s time for the federal government to draw down their forces and let us get back to allowing freedom, opportunity, and security – for everyone.

Good morning from Minnesota! #MinnesotaStrong

Naming someone is not doxxing. They aren’t undercover. They aren’t intelligence agents overseas. This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.

I say again, this does not even approach a scintilla of the accountability that is required. These are PR moves.

Both of Nevada's senators--Catherine Cortez Masto and Jacky Rosen--have officially come out against the DHS funding bill following the execution of Alex Pretti by ICE agents in Minneapolis this morning. This effectively ends the DHS funding bill in the Senate.

🚨BREAKING: Hours after federal immigration officers shot and killed a man in Minneapolis, Pam Bondi seized upon the incident to demand access to voter rolls, directly tying the Trump administration’s quest for voters’ unredacted personal data to its aggressive immigration raids across the state.

I feel the same way now as I felt the night of J6. I know now after going through the aftermath of that what their playbook is in these situations - to cover up, lie, rewrite history. We can only hope that there are enough decent Americans now who won’t let them do it again.
