💥 Car dealer calls ICE on workers after they finish the job—so he won't have to pay them. Then blocks their cars so they can't leave. "He just told me he called ICE because he didn't want to pay us. We worked 11 hours.." G Motors Tomball, Texas

"There are two ways to look at ICE’s detention expansion. They’re simply gifts...to their valued contractors." “The cynical view is this definitely will be used to hold people who are not migrants,” Free said. “That it will be used to hold U.S. citizens.” calmatters.org/justice/2026...

Tom Emmer: "Minnesotans are so afraid that you're gonna call us a racist, you're gonna call us an Islamophobe. You know what? I'm done being even the least bit careful. Somalis don't assimilate. And if they don't assimilate, then they should go the hell back to where they came from."

Love to invent incredibly unlikely threats, set off a massive war that does serious damage to U.S. interests at obscene fiscal costs to fight that incredibly unlikely threat, then declare victory on a claim that the incredibly unlikely threat now definitely won't happen.

Buttigieg: Nowhere in the Constitution does it say that there have to be nine Supreme Court justices. That one doesn't even take a constitutional amendment. It just takes a readiness to set up a court that fits this country.

Trump: "Behind the scenes I must tell you Iran can't believe the press they get. They can't even believe it. And they told me. They said, 'It's amazing how well we're doing in the papers. We're not doing so well--' They're negotiating with us to make a deal."

Democrats should also be really thinking now about insane it's going to feel if we win in 2028 and Musk is babbling about the need for a race war and calling the president a satanic pedophile while also being the most important government contractor in the country.

Trump on Cuba: "It's sort of collapsed. And we're gonna handle that as soon as we finish-- I like to do one thing at a time. We'll take care of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and as son as that is done, on our way, back we'll just make a brief stopover."

Trump says he's interested in govt taking equity stakes in the giant AI companies like OpenAI or Anthropic: "There's something very interesting about it, where it almost becomes a partnership. The American people can benefit from the success of AI, and by doing that, they're gonna like it better."

Ken Paxton was indicted for scamming his own friends. He convinced them to invest hundreds of thousands in a company while secretly pocketing a commission. Paxton sold out his own friends for a quick buck. What makes you think he won't sell you out in the Senate?

The insurrectionist pedophile in question is Andrew Paul Johnson and it is public record that he tried to silence his victim(s) with promises of Trump millions for J6.

VAN HOLLEN: An individual who was pardoned by Trump went on to molest 2 children, & he tried to buy their silence by saying he would give them funds from your slush fund. Can you commit to not making that person eligible for a payout? BLANCHE: You're obviously lying V: I am reporting what he said

When you take a chainsaw to agencies like FEMA then put incompetent lunatics at the top of what is left, this is what you get It matters who runs the federal government folks and it’s no surprise this is the outcome of electing a lifelong conman and pathological liar

FEMA’s top official said that the “vast majority” of calls were answered during the deadly Texas floods. But new data indicates that the agency failed to answer 58% of the calls, and the average wait was 61 minutes at the peak.

The Voting Rights Act is essentially dead and it’s quite possible that we will, like when a similar SCOTUS gutted civil rights at the fall of Reconstruction, see a disappearance of much of the Black congressional representation, especially in the most heavily Black states, which are in the South.

"You do not take a person who, for years, has been hobbled by chains and bring him up to the starting line of a race and then say, 'you are free to compete with all the others,' and still justly believe that you have been completely fair." - President Lyndon B. Johnson, June 4, 1965

Trump went from making insane genocidal threats this morning to hyping the “golden age” of Iran hours later, and he received no concessions in between. He’s an absolute basket case who needs to be removed from power before he follows through on one of his mass murder fantasies.

Our entire system of government is inherently broken

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

I feel sick to my stomach waiting around to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's an indictment not just of voters but of our whole system. We're ruled by a mad king.
