I went back to one of my older videos to find a link on the VA's use of Housing-First. Clicked the link, got an error message before being redirected to the main page, as shown below. While they gut evidence-based programs and build detention camps, they delete info and talk about God. Disgusting.

Ana Kasparian, who identifies as "politically homeless" and has made a new career of spewing vitriol against homeless people, recently said drug courts don't exist in California, which is blatantly false. I would know! I spent years working in one! I have friends who still work in them! They exist!
Screenshot of Ana Kasparian tweet: "I support drug courts... which we used to have in CA and helped to get people clean."

While 42 million Americans wonder where they’ll get their next meal as Trump uses hunger as a weapon, 10 Americans added $698 billion to their already enormous wealth. Lawmakers make policy choices that keep millions trapped in poverty and ensure the richest gain. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Republicans like Ted Cruz are making headlines condemning Tucker Carlson’s interview with Nick Fuentes, but they can save their fake outrage. Trump had dinner with Fuentes in 2022, shares his white supremacist worldview, & stacked his admin with white supremacists, & none of it mattered to you, TED!

So we’re going to continue to run with Donald Trump as Comedian-in-Chief instead of grappling with the reality of a man who does not want to cede power?

Donald Trump is set to arrive in Japan to meet with the new right-wing Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi and the people do not want him here! Here are scenes from a protest here in Tokyo:

I just received this from someone who receives food benefits in CA.

Praising Trump’s actions in a moment when he’s adding $150+ BILLION to the budget for enforcement, rounding up people based on the color of their skin, zip-tying children in raids, and sending people to war-torn countries they’ve never been to in the middle of the night, is disturbing & wrong.
“If you don't have any borders, you don't have a nation," Sanders, a Vermont independent who caucuses with the Democratic Party, said on The Tim Dillon Show on Wednesday. "Trump did a better job. I don't like Trump, but we should have a secure border. It ain't that hard to do. Biden didn't do it."

I appreciate this article 1) informing me about more than a third of the people eager to join ICE who are failing the basic fitness test, and 2) giving clear guidelines for how to be more fit than the Nazis www.newsweek.com/dhs-responds...
Screenshot of Newsweek article: “The Atlantic reported that more than one-third of new ICE recruits were unable to pass the academy’s basic fitness requirements, which include completing at least 15 push-ups, 32 sit-ups, and a 1.5-mile run in under 14 minutes. The article cited internal emails that referred to some recruits as “athletically allergic.”

Who knew we'd get a ruling like this from a Reagan-appointed conservative federal judge? In his 161-page ruling, Judge Young goes in on Donald Trump and his Administration's attacks on First Amendment rights, but he doesn't stop there.

I talk about it here: youtu.be/gNA536Gw-SQ?...
A screenshot of Judge Young's ruling in AAUP vs. Rubio: "And there's the issue of masks. This Court has listened carefully to the reasons given by Ozturk's captors for masking-up and has heard the same reasons advanced by the defendant Todd Lyons, Acting Director of ICE. It rejects this testimony as disingenuous, squalid and dishonorable. ICE goes masked for a single reason -- to terrorize Americans into quiescence. Small wonder ICE often seems to need our respected military to guard them as they go about implementing our immigration laws. It should be noted that our troops do not ordinarily wear masks. Can you imagine a masked marine? It is a matter of honor -- and honor still matters. To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police."

Remember when Trump's Former Defense Secretary Mark Esper came forward to tell us Trump wanted to direct the military to shoot protestors in the summer of 2020? Let's revisit this as we watch Trump tell the "gathering of generals" about their role in defeating the "enemy within."

Have more babies than you can afford? From the party dedicated to gutting our social safety net, slashing billions from programs like SNAP and Medicaid that ensure children are fed and healthy! These same people mock those in poverty, shaming those who need assistance! And then they say this????

A handy figure from @americanprogress.bsky.social showing how Donald Trump's economic policies harm everyone except the top 1%.

www.americanprogress.org/article/new-...
Figure from the Center For American Progress: New Trump administration fiscal policies will lower average incomes for all Americans except the top 1 percent - Average policy-induced 2027 and 2029 income change (after tax and transfers) for American households at various income levels, due to 2025 tariffs and new policies in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) Note: “New OBBBA policies” include all policies in the OBBBA minus policies originally enacted in the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. “Households” and “household income” are per CBO definition. Source: Congressional Budget Office, “How the 2025 Reconciliation Act (Public Law 119-21) Will Affect the Distribution of Resources Available to Households” (last accessed September 2025); Joint Committee on Taxation, “JCX-32-25” (Washington: 2025); Joint Committee on Taxation, “JCX-37-25” (Washington: 2025); Budget Lab at Yale, “Combined Distributional Effects of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and of Tariffs” (New Haven, CT: 2025).
