Give me the beat boys and free my soul. I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away.
Given the developments regarding the #coastguard, I’m wondering if #ice plans to begin using the #swastika on their uniforms.

NEW: President Trump's pardon of his alleged 2020 co-conspirators was less about shielding them from past crimes, his adversaries say, than about signaling to others that he has their back if he needs them again in 2026 or 2028.

"The Republican Party has created an entirely avoidable mess for itself. By taking a resolute stand in favor of making healthcare unobtainable for many Americans, and now threatening to starve children to achieve that perverse goal, they have made performative cruelty their political calling card."
Mike Johnson's lies keep getting lost in the facts
The shutdown is exposing the speaker's slimy disingenuousness.

I am certainly no seasoned strategist but I am a little skeptical of the political wisdom behind building a giant golden ballroom and sharing a dozen photos of a renovated marble bathroom at the very moment that millions of people are losing access to healthcare and food.

The same people who say Adriana Smith should stay hooked up to machines so a fetus can gestate inside her dead body for 7 months because “it’s a sacrifice a mother would make” can’t fathom a mother crossing the border with her children in hopes of providing a better life for them.

I’d have (slightly) less concern over the #trumpplane from #Quatar if the #USGovernment were retaining ownership of the plane after the end of the #Trump administration. Why exactly will the plane be transferred to the #TrumpLibrary?

Must suck to realize that after you thought you were going to be hailed as a hero, it turns out a majority of people hate you and it's destroying your main cash cow.
