The IRS clashed with the White House over using tax data to locate suspected undocumented immigrants just hours before Trump officials fired IRS Commissioner Billy Long.

Long's dismissal makes his tenure now the briefest in the agency's 163-year history.

IRS, White House clashed over immigrants’ data before tax chief was ousted
The Trump administration’s move to push out IRS Commissioner Billy Long came after the agency said it couldn’t release some information on taxpayers suspected of being here illegally.

Trump has never addressed the Epstein-Maxwell survivors. There are only three possible reasons for this:

• Trump has ZERO empathy.
• Trump's a perp.
• Both.

Today should have been Virginia Roberts Giuffre’s 42nd birthday.

Instead, her life was stolen by predators still shielded by power.

She fought for survivors until the day she died — now it’s our turn.

Read & share Bren’s moving tribute. Say her name.

Appeasement Didn’t Work Then.

It Won’t Work Now.

Hitler wrote Mein Kampf — part autobiography, part revenge manifesto, part how-to guide for dismantling the post–World War I order.

No one took it seriously, just like Project 2025

The war on immigration is just all bad in every possible direction.
--It is very expensive
--It radicalizes government agencies
--It distorts US foreign policy
--It is very harmful to the economy
--It is also quite cruel.

There is no second/third order consequence that is positive.
Local jails–mostly run by elected sheriffs–are making money off of ICE's rampant criminalization of immigration.

The Speaker of the House's annual salary is $223,500.
And he's using campaign funds because he can't afford (doesn't want to pay) his rent.

Meanwhile, I had to work an extra Saturday a couple weeks ago just so I could pay my rent for the month.

👍'Murica!👍

Last night in Wheeling, WV, Sen. Bernie Sanders had thousands gather for a “Fighting Oligarchy” rally. The applause was constant, and the atmosphere was electric. “Whoever said West Virginia was a conservative state,” Sanders asked. “Somebody got it wrong.”

Marco Rubio, Stephen Miller, Kirsti Noem, Joseph Mazzara, Emil Bove, Drew Sargent, and everyone else involved in planning, executing, and obstructing justice around the CECOT imprisonments are responsible for Andry's torture and rape.

Each bears a share of the blame. Don't ever let them forget it.

Donald Trump's threat to redistrict the GOP to victory in the 2026 elections is existential. I feel this in my bones.

The consequences of one party successfully rigging the game are very real and will have long-term impacts for Californians, Texans, and our entire nation.

Also, it’s important to remember that litigation has a way of inconveniently mushrooming sometimes
Trump is reported to want to sue over South Park saying he has a tiny penis.

That would be funny for two reasons:(1) discovery; and (2) truth is an absolute defense in defamation actions.

Rich white Russians can now buy US citizenship and move here to keep undermining democracy. Whites from South Africa are welcomed, but black Africans are not.

But MAGA gets very offended if you call them racist.
State Dep't officials asked who, exactly, can qualify for the Trump administration's South Africa refugee program.

The answer, emailed days later by a top department official, was that program is intended for white people.

I cannot emphasize enough how true & real this is.

In almost anywhere on the political spectrum you ID with or major issue, there’s probably a bot/troll operation to encourage your rage and vitriol.

And how/where that rage gets directed, esp understandable rage, is what they are out to influence.
People on this app get really angry every time I point out that social media manipulation is a real phenomenon that we are all stewing in and that’s having real world consequences and I’m sure part of that is engagement farmers who do that manipulation not liking people talking about it
