MSNBC with a great speed debunk of DHSs justifications for tackling and handcuffing Sen. Padilla.

Padilla is the top Dem on the Senate Judiciary immigration subcommittee -- there's no way Noem (who meets regularly with senators on this topic) didn't know who he is.

Today they have crossed a deep red line.

We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Trump’s latest executive order (that was no doubt written by psychopath RFK Jr.) goes after antidepressants.

As someone whose life was saved by them, you will pry my prozac from my cold dead hands.

Confirming RFK Jr. as Health & Human Services Secretary is so freaking appalling.

Yet another shittastic choice from this abomination of a government.

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

Today I stood in front of the Department of Labor to show Donald Trump and Elon Musk that we will fight their attempts to undermine the rights and livelihoods of federal employees and American workers. A lawsuit has already been filed to challenge this dangerous intrusion by DOGE.

Religious charter schools should not be funded with your tax dollars. Period. This case out of Oklahoma, which SCOTUS is expected to decide on in Spring, could be a turning point for how the government interprets the Establishment Clause moving forward.

Can a charter school be religious? The Supreme Court decision about St. Isidore, a Catholic school in Oklahoma, could redraw lines around church and state in education
(The Conversation) — For years, the Supreme Court has been expanding the boundaries of government aid to religious schools. St. Isidore’s case pushes the debate into new territory.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: He choked.

The market started to tank, and suddenly, he said, “Oh, didn’t you guys already have a plan to deal with the border back in December? I love that—I’ll take that.”

This is Mr. Art of the Deal.

The silence from the non-MAGA Republicans I know regarding the massive power grab and overreach by Elon Musk/ DOGE is so disheartening.

Have you lost the ability to speak out now? Have you given in or given up? Do you just agree with all this?

The silence is deafening.

Dear Canada 🇨🇦,

Millions of us didn't vote for the sh!tshow in office who is trying to destroy our country. We are horrified, daily, by where all this is going. We didn't ask for this trade war. You certainly didn't ask for it. Please, hold the line. Don't back down.

Love,
An American 🇺🇸
