This must not be the new normal. ENOUGH!!
A U.S. citizen arrested by plainclothes “ICE officers.” No warrant. No ID. No accountability. This isn’t border security, it’s authoritarianism. How many more will it take before we say ENOUGH?

Grift. Corruption. Making Harding’s administration seem like choirboys.
from today's post, about the fuckery that went down at the secret crypto greedfest dinner that was held last night at Donny Convict's Virginia golf motel
please read the whole thing, thanks!

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

The budget bill (HB 96) would:
❌Define gender as only 2 sexes;
❌ Require that books in libraries referencing sexual orientation or gender identity be made inaccessible to minors.

The budget bill is expected to be voted out of the full House this week.

MMR vaccine doesn’t just prevent measles, mumps, and rubella. It also prevents RFK Jr. from showing up at your child’s funeral to exploit your grief at your most vulnerable moment.

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

The US spends almost twice as much per capita on health care as any other nation. Yet 85 million Americans are uninsured or under-insured and 68,000 die each year because they can’t afford a doctor.

Health care must be a human right, not a privilege. We need Medicare for All.

Should we have so many people with failing memories leading our country?

Ms. Gabbard seems to have a recurring problem with her memory.
After the Atlantic published the texts this morning, Tulsi Gabbard is confronted today on why she lied in her testimony to the Senate yesterday. She says she misremembered.

Crow: You were also traveling during this discussion, correct?

Gabbard: Yes.

Crow: And where were you?

Gabbard: I don't recall which country I was in at that time.

Crow: You don't remember the country?

This administration is incompetent and endangering our troops. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared war plans in an encrypted chat—including a journalist—two hours before strikes on the Houthis in Yemen, the White House confirmed.

I suppose we should be grateful they didn’t post this on Facebook.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth disclosed war plans in a group chat that included the editor in chief of The Atlantic two hours before U.S. troops launched attacks against the Houthi militia in Yemen, the White House said. It was an extraordinary breach of U.S. national security intelligence.
Hegseth Disclosed Secret War Plans in a Group Chat
The conversation among the defense secretary and other national security officials on a commercial messaging app mistakenly included the editor in chief of The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg.

When a Tesla dealership gets shot at they send ICE. When a school gets shot at they send thoughts and prayers.

Bondi "needs to tread very carefully" when pulling this mafia shit.
Bondi reiterates that Jasmine Crockett "needs to tread very carefully" when she talks about Musk and Tesla and accuses her of "calling for further insurrection" 🙃
