Hello to my Rep, Ms. Schiavo @asmpilarschiavo.bsky.social! Is there any chance we could make something like this happen here in California?

Gah! Why is it that under the trending topic of Todd Blanche I find one post with Todd Blanche’s name in it, but all the rest are about China or Chinese technology? This kind of thing keeps happening here with trending topics and it is GD annoying.

And a tarp is being pulled up along the side of the scaffolding now to cover the name removal at the Kennedy Center, just as many predicted. Heard folks over the C-SPAN feed start booing loudly. Shouting has started.

@xavierbecerra.bsky.social I just saw this headline posted & it worries me, because I have been supporting you in this governor’s race. We NEED a single payer solution. Is this where you’re at? The first time my husband used his employer health insurance, they denied the MRI he needed. Single payer!

Well, she is a liar, so…¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Melania Trump: The lies linking me with Jeffrey Epstein need to end today. I've never been friends with Epstein. I never had a relationship with Epstein or his accomplice, Maxwell. My email reply to Maxwell cannot be categorized as anything more than casual correspondence.

I’ve seen a few people asking about this, so here’s my interview with an Minnesota woman whose Global Entry was revoked by DHS a few few days after CBP stopped her while legally observing and greeted her by name.

Lots of scrambling today by the terrible regime. I want to argue that our goal should be to get Miller removed, that has to be the focus. Noem, Bovino, etc are all just middle managers. The architect of the terror regime is Miller. A thread: bsky.app/profile/simo...

Simon Rosenberg@simonwdc.bsky.social

In my a new post I talk about how JD Vance and Stephen Miller have been responsible for the two biggest political disasters of Trump's second term so far - Greenland and Minnesota. Their "rules no longer apply to us" project is taking a huge, deserved hit. www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/the-senate...

If CBP, Customs and Border Protection, is only supposed to operate within 100 miles of the U.S. border, what are they doing leading operations in Charlotte, North Carolina?

Brett Meiselas on MTG: The craziest thing is it's not like she even said anything bad about Trump. Nor did she even suggest he was involved with Jeffrey Epstein. All she said was that the people deserve the Epstein files — and he lost his mind. That’s the definition of “a hit dog will holler.”

Folks, I don't think the lawyers can make anymore sense of this. But what APPEARS to have happened is: 1) They no-billed one count. 2) SOMEONE IN THE GOVT LEARNED THAT. 3) They put together a 2-count indictment and, w/o re-presenting the case, got them to vote for those. The whole thing is cooked.

"So they separated it." That's what the only indictment against Jim Comey is. "Count Two and Three were then put" by someone who may or may not be Lindsey Halligan "in a different package."

Today marked Day One of Customs and Border Patrol’s Charlotte Operation. And as we’ve come to expect from these operations, federal agents targeted workers throughout Charlotte and the surrounding areas.

I’m going to venture a guess that the memo sent from the USDA telling states to “undo paying SNAP in full” is a preemptive move by the administration to avoid reimbursing states for funding the program when a lower court finally rules, again, that the benefits must be paid.

Tajar reposted

The USDA and Trump administration issued a memo ordering states to “undo any steps taken to issue full SNAP benefits.” I have never seen an administration work so hard to starve people. Don’t forget your red hats at the food pantry, MAGA.

Thank you to Senator Ron Wyden for letting us know the MAGA Senate Republicans are trying to slide a nationwide abortion ban into the shutdown negotiations. Hell no! They want to control every part of women’s lives and we aren’t having it. F the patriarchy.
