So, to wrap up today's insanity:

President Trump, who is deeply implicated in a pedophilia scandal involving his best friend, the sex trafficker, sent Attorney General Bondi -- who only has that job because Trump's first choice was also implicated in a separate pedophilia scandal -- to the House...

As Trump and his Republican enablers punish women with jaw-dropping cuts to reproductive health care providers, California is holding the line.

We will never back down from defending Californians' freedom and access to reproductive health care.

So they can sue for $10 billion now, right?
Internal Revenue Service improperly shared confidential tax information of thousands of individuals with immigration enforcement officials, according to three people familiar with the situation, appearing to breach a legal fire wall intended to protect taxpayer data.

Trump tried to corner Canada.

PM Mark Carney didn’t blink. He didn’t fly to Mar-a-Lago to kiss the ring!

Instead he did what no Canadian leader has done in our lifetime.
He told the president of the United States to go to hell!

Now that’s how you handle a bully!

This dog is being called a "real-life Lassie" after helping find a missing 3-year-old boy in Kentucky. “I don’t know where the dog came from,” one officer said. “But it was a blessing from God that day.” We think the dog deserves some credit too, so we're awarding him our highest honor, a 15/10

She is insufferable. Funny how she wears that gigantic cross when she clearly doesn't follow the teachings of Jesus Christ.

ICE is at my friend's grandkids' GRADE school in the Catskill Mountains. They're not letting the kids on the bus - parents have to pick them up and show their birth certificates.

This is WRONG! Convicted Felon Donald Trump & Botox Barbie Noem lied about only arresting criminals.

Rep. Neal Dunn (R-Fla.) declined to comment today on reports that he may soon announce his resignation from Congress before completing his term. If he does step down, Republicans will lose their narrow majority in the House. 🤞

This ice “fish-fluencer” wants ICE to get out of Minnesota.

Nate Pischke has turned his indignation and outrage about the largest deployment of masked and armed ICE agents in US history into a call for hunters and fishermen to speak out.

"Nobody wants these ding dongs in our fucking city."

The so-called Save America Act will force 21 million American citizens to produce passports or birth certificates just to register to vote. Most do not have them ready. Turning paperwork into a barrier is a poll tax by another name. #HandsOffHerVote social.demcast.com/s/L9X3k1fQ

Wednesday morning’s airspace closure caused a brief panic among government agencies, as even emergency medical evacuations were halted. Once the discussion reached the WH, the FAA lifted the restriction within minutes.

Seems DOD failed to communicate with the FAA.

In just a few moments, I will vote against the so-called SAVE America Act and I am a strong no. That's because this bill would place unnecessary burdens on millions of women and eligible citizens to register to vote and make their voices heard. It is un-American & undermines our democracy.

Pam Bondi's unhinged performance in Congressional hearing today was not because she was protecting Trump. It's because Bondi is protecting herself. She's clearly implicated in the Epstein scandal because she served as AG of Florida from 2011 to 2019 when Epstein was raping children but did NOTHING!
