Newsom: I mean, even poor Kid Rock — these guys, they’ve gotten a little precious, haven’t they? The folks at Fox are like, “Oh, this is so unbecoming of a governor. Oh, oh.”
And meanwhile, they sit there reading his tweets every single day. Are they really that out of touch?

As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous.
Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.

Quiznos? Cosi? Subway? Jimmy John's? Jersey Mike's? Any sub shop I visit from this day forward will be judged not only on the taste & value of its sandwiches, but their weight, velocity, & stability of their wrapping.

My feed is slowly slipping into the German language (I don’t speak German) and I don’t know why or how to stop it. Help?

Watch and decide, but I was never fully convinced he was shot in the first place. Never mind that his ear should’ve been blown off—now completely healed. Or that the Secret Service took their time getting him offstage.
But from this angle: you see the photographers guided into place…

A win! The Senate has agreed to restore roughly $400 million in funding for PEPFAR, the landmark HIV/AIDS program launched under President Bush that’s credited with saving millions of lives around the world. Keep speaking up, it makes a difference.

They say to gain citizenship “the right way” then denaturalize those who have. US Citizens are next, mark my words. They already threatened to come for the “home growns” next.
The White House has ordered the US Dept. of Justice to prioritize denaturalization: voiding the citizenship of US citizens.
Who will it denaturalize? "Any" case that it "determines to be sufficiently important".
Point 10 leaves the criteria opaque and arbitrary.

this is the level of funding where all the possibilities for American politics that have been described as hyperbolic over the past decades - the comparisons to Nazi Germany and other nightmares of the 20th century - become logistically possible and politically likely
If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029:
- $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion
- $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million
- $8 billion for hiring/retention
- Billions more.
