WTF ‼️‼️‼️‼️

THIS is the judge who would not release South Carolina voting records to the DOJ.
SOUTH CAROLINA… “Judge Goodstein was walking on the beach when the fire started. Her husband, Arnie, was in the house with children and perhaps grandchildren. The family had to escape by jumping from a window or balcony...” www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Just scanned the New York Times and the Washington Post for headlines about the South Carolina judge’s house being torched. Absolutely nothing. I’m not surprised.

“An arsonist will never let good kindling go to waste” may be the most apt and succinct description of Trump I’ve ever heard.

The Crimson, scooping every news outlet not run by undergraduates working in between classes, gets into how court orders mandating return of research funding have been flaunted, and makes a clear case for contempt proceedings against DOGE officials. www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

The fact we have secret police whisking people off the streets doesn’t get enough attention. It ain’t normal and we’re further down the road to authoritarianism than you think.

ICE now has 3x more funding than the United States Marine Corps. Our hard-earned taxpayer money. Over $170+ billion handed over, and for what?

To rip families apart. To instill fear. To dismantle the very virtues by which this country was built. To help the rich get richer.

Congrats to Lisa Murkowski on voting for a bill that she herself admitted was not ready in hopes that the House would change it. Now it’ll become law. She had the power to stop it, and instead chose to become complicit. That’s her legacy.

Largest legal wealth transfer in US history.
Largest debt ceiling increase in U.S. history
11.8 million will lose health insurance
It’s still adding $3.3 trillion to the debt.

"Big Beautiful Bill" = "The Donor Fellatio Act of 2025"
Happy 4th

This is what I’m so worried about
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

NEW: SCOTUS shoots down a federal judge’s effort to protect eight men from being expelled—without due process—to South Sudan, where they face torture and death.

Dissenting, Sotomayor says the court’s “indefensible” decision makes it complicit in “lawlessness.” www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

This so-called ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ marks a direct and heartless assault on the American people. Neither Maryland nor any other state across the country has the resources to fill the massive hole that the federal government created today in our social safety net.

I feel like Obi-wan when the Death Star obliterated Alderaan. GOP you are evil and heartless. Unbelievable that this bill passed.

Important to know that these cuts kick in right after the 2026 midterms. That’s how you know they know it’s bad.
