It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

Get ready for the “Trump was a young playboy” propaganda even though he was 50 and the girls were 14.

On the one hand, they have redacted Trump’s name from the Epstein Files. On the other hand, they have put it on the Kennedy Center.

Silencing a black woman's voice is so on brand for that knuckle dragging knotty-pated dewberry. 🤬
The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

I didn’t watch. Based on all the comments I am seeing, I am glad.

Find the good in the world.
Support conservation (which directly supports people).
Protest, vote, be influential.

Don’t let others change who you are. We are the solution.

Sounds like Rubio and Hegseth lied to Congress and could therefore be held in contempt.

CBS News Exclusive | While it's appropriate to mourn the students murdered at Brown University, we cannot be distracted from the real tragedy at America's colleges: the silencing of conservative voices.

What possible use could there be to adding these two bozos to that conversation? More gangster gong show? Just what Ukraine needs, right? So shaming for U.S.

WOW. @haleaziz.bsky.social with a new scoop: ICE now gets a running list of every person who is going to be taking a domestic flight inside the United States from the TSA and runs it through their database looking for targets. This explains the Babson College student's arrest.

@warren.senate.gov and I released a new report showing Trump diverted $2 B from the DoD for his immigration agenda—hurting readiness, morale, and military families.

Using troops for political stunts and raiding funds for barracks & training is dangerous. Congress must act.
Pentagon Diverted $2 Billion of Military Spending to Immigration Enforcement, Democrats Say | KQED
A new investigation, led by Bay Area Rep. John Garamendi and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, says the President’s immigration agenda may come at the cost of military readiness and morale.

One under-appreciated part of this: note the bit below about “and their dependents.”

Under the Trump admin’s new policy, dependent children of visa applicants are not allowed to have their social media set to private during the entire visa process. They MUST make their social media public.
From the US Embassy in London today.

This is really incredible. The government's battle to deport Abrego Garcia has apparently been based on a lie from the start. Not even the "gang affiliation" lie or the "human smuggling" lie, but the more basic assertion that he was ordered to be deported in the first place.
🚨Judge Xinis finds that, incredibly, Mr. Abrego Garcia was never ordered deported in 2019. She notes that every since this saga began all the way back in March, the government has NEVER been able to produce any evidence that the immigration judge actually issued a removal order.

Ossoff: "This is one of the most consequential votes this Senate will take all year. By saying yea or nay to the clerk of the Senate later today, senators will decide whether people live or die. Senators will decide whether Georgians & folks across the country are financially ruined or have a shot."

So it turns out an ice agent is much more likely to have an arrest record than an immigrant.
