Ask them to slide the warrant under the door and see if there's a judges signature. If it's signed by a judge, it's probably a judicial warrant. If it's signed by an "immigration officer," "immigration judge," or "administrative law judge," it's an administrative warrant.

Every D that shows up on TV should begin every interview with the avg cost of eggs now versus last year. Every single on of them. And there should be a website dedicated to this. Also inflation when it starts going back up.
This is an exciting step forward for the DNC: a new rapid response effort to build a strong online presence, complete with memes, videos and graphics, to fight misinformation and the felon-in-charge.

🧵 This is a story about what happens when the military turns inward, when the government sees its own citizens as the enemy, and when those in power exploit fear to tighten their grip.

Pete Hegseth believes he and his fellow white Christian nationalists are American crusaders, here to fight a holy war within our nation.

Trump has quite strategically selected Hegseth as his secretary of defense, to call in the military to battle the inevitable public uprisings that will…
Hegseth lacks the normal qualifications for secretary of defense. His books reveal two ideas about what armed forces are for: a site to express Christian Reconstructionism and gender ideology; and a means to defeat other Americans inside America.

What @mcuban.bsky.social said!!!!!

As a medical professional, the things I could tell you about how foul it is dealing with #insurance would blow your damn mind.
The facts are, the ACA saved millions with pre-existing conditions and set standards for care.

But now, more than a decade later, with what we now know, it’s time to take the insurance companies out of the mix.
The subsidies they get are enormous. We don’t need them as middlemen.

Laken Riley’s family never wanted her death politicized. The GOP didn’t care.

They used her death as a way to pass a bill permitting racial profiling, and guilt based on the color of one’s skin.

Justice dies when due process is denied.

This has always been the GOP's strategy:

1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.

2) Explode the deficit.

3) Demand cuts to Social Security and Medicare.

4) Repeat.
