I really dig this spaceship we’re on.
It protects us pretty much completely from coronal mass ejections —
& it posts alerts informing us how those protections are going.
You caught some *outrageously* gorgeous system alerts!

ICE is killing, lying, and covering for itself.
We must abolish ICE—and we need to make sure that no federal officer can ever kill and hide behind a would-be badge, a mask, or a lawless President and DHS Secretary ever again. That's why I introduced the Deadly Force Independent Review Act.

Not only did they bring a small private army, but among the waste of taxpayer money was BRINGING A FULL PLANE OF FOOD.

Real sportsmanship isn't hanging onto a spot on the team to retain commercial contracts.
Somewhere there is a teammate who could have taken that spot and done their best. Lindsay Von had no business staying on the US Ski Team.

Hell yes, Democratic candidate Chasity Martinez just won the Louisiana HD-60 special election in a landslide victory after defeating the fascist republican challenger and holding that seat in a district the orange felon won by 13%.
Another victory for democracy.

Months after telling the American people that the so-called Department of Government Efficiency had no access to Americans’ sensitive Social Security data, the Trump administration has finally admitted in court that DOGE illegally accessed and agreed to share that data.

This procedure violates the Act! Time for victims to sue to ensure compliance, and for House to find them in contempt and send the Sergeant of Arms and Capitol Police to take over the files!
Congress will be able to see the unredacted Epstein files next week at DOJ offices. They will only be allowed to see the 3 million pages that were released and can only take notes.
There are still 3 million more pages that have not been released.

Members of Congress will be able to view unredacted Epstein files next week — NBC News
Lawmakers will be able to review the files on computers at the Justice Department starting Monday, according to a letter obtained by NBC News. They can take notes but can't have electronic devices.

Lutnick was way more involved with Jeff beyond everything he was trying to cover up, in advance, a few months ago.
Howard Lutnick went to Jeffrey Epstein's island 5 days before Lutnick and Epstein went into business together.
12/23/2012 — Lutnick goes to Epstein's island.
12/28/2012 — Lutnick and Epstein sign a stock purchase agreement.

If Lt. Col. Vindman had not been fired, he'd probably still be in uniform. Instead he's running for the Senate. How satisfying it will be when he votes to impeach Trump!
Six years ago, Donald Trump fired me from the White House for speaking the truth.
