ICE detain yet another minor child—chase him down his own street and tackle him to pavement.
"I am legal! I am legal!" he cries over and over in Spanish.

The U.S. exports 10M barrels of oil a day. So... this covers Mon-Fri this week.
Definitely worth the $millions spent on the mission & injuries to 7 U.S. soldiers. Not to mention the lives of 75 others killed to bring in just TWO indicted defendants.

Trump says Venezuela to give up to 50 million barrels of oil to U.S.
Trump's announcement came days after U.S. forces attacked Venezuela and captured its leader, Nicolas Maduro, to be prosecuted on drug-trafficking charges.

I don't know how much wood a #woodchuck chucks, but this little dude is sawing some serious logs. (His big old sigh after he settles is epic.) The outdoor cats weren't crazy about this cat condo squatter.

How the heck can the job numbers for May and June be this far off the mark initially? Instead of a combined 293,000 originally reported, the actual combined number was just 35,000 jobs? So they were "only" off by 78%. Data (and stock market) manipulation if I've ever seen it.

There’s a sinister tax loophole for billionaires hidden in Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill” - and it practically pays billionaires to redirect their tax dollars away from the federal government to private schools.

This is like when your barely tech-saavy brother-in-law says he can fix what's wrong with your computer, and then hands it back to you slower, less functional than it was before, and you'll have to spend more to get it fixed by Geek Squad. (And he "accidentally" deleted all of your photos.)
How much do you want to bet that after all this pain, carnage and loss of talent - all in the name of “savings” - next year we will learn that spending is up, the deficit is up and the debt is higher?
DOGE says it has canceled thousands of federal contracts, grants and leases. Here's a searchable list.

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center say results of a Phase I trial of an mRNA vaccine aimed at preventing pancreatic cancer show promise. The vaccine PREVENTED the cancer from coming back in patients who had already received treatment for MORE THAN three years. 🧪🧵⬇️

The simple Dem response to these GOP claims should be a loud "PROVE IT!"
With the thousands of cuts, they should be able to produce proof of fraud, abuse or waste for EACH ONE.

DOGE: Fake Savings
Elon’s DOGE keeps claiming savings and taking credit for canceling contracts that ended years ago.
🔘 Canceled a 2005 Coast Guard contract—but it ended two decades ago. Claimed $53.7M in “savings.”
🔘 Canceled a $14M contract that ended in 2021.
This isn’t savings—it’s fraud.
