If video exists of Tom Homan accepting a bag of $50,000 in cash from undercover FBI agents, it should be released. As a member of the Homeland Security Committee, I want to know if he’s trading Homeland contracts in exchange for enriching himself. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...
Senate Democrats urge DOJ to release files related to border czar Tom Homan bribery investigation
Homan was investigated for allegedly accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents last year after indicating he could help win government contracts, which the White House has denied.

This is hilarious. Even the Dutch are way ahead of us in seeing how bad things are in the United States with Donald Trump running amok and corporations capitulating to fascism.

But, then again, the Netherlands has experience with being taken over by fascists.

“They should’ve come here legally,” MAGA says. Well, they did. One Afghan interpreter was arrested after a green card appointment. Another? Detained after his asylum hearing. Both helped U.S. troops. Now ICE wants to deport them.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

No notes. Not one word is exaggerated.
In the past 24 hours, Trump’s threatened Elon Musk, Thomas Massie, Japan, a judge in Israel, the CEO of AT&T, Jerome Powell, Canada, Thom Tillis, a Forbes reporter, Harvard, & migrants with being eaten by Burmese pythons in the Everglades, while releasing a new line of colognes.

I worked at Planned Parenthood.

They diagnose cancers while still treatable. They help women decide what birth control works for them. They help those working through mental health challenges.
 
Defunding them just harms people who already struggle to find places to get care.

It is obscene to give tax breaks to the top 1% by throwing more than 16 million people off health care, cutting nutrition for hungry kids and making it harder for working class young people to go to college.

That is exactly what Trump's budget reconciliation bill does.

“According to eyewitnesses earlier on Thursday, Rengifo was pulled over by Whitefish police officers for a busted tail light. But when they learned he didn’t speak English, they called in CBP for translation services.”
“For those not born in this country but residing here, due process has gone from a right to a luxury, as we’ve seen with the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia in Maryland and a mother and her three children in Upstate New York.”

An entire nation was forever changed and lives were brutally ripped from us on this day 26 years ago in a preventable tragedy at Columbine High School.

Since then, there have been over 400 school shootings due to America’s failed leadership, lax gun laws, and capitulation to the gun industry.

The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. We’re already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

This scrum of pot-bellied, sunken-chested betas trying to bully an all-black clad badass Eastern European wasteland survivor while dressed like Men’s Wearhouse mannequins is peak cinema.

Voted for Trump, now have buyer’s remorse? The Trump philosophy seems to be his version of FAFO. Don’t buy anything on the 28th unless you absolutely have to.

The FAA is close to canceling a $2.4 billion contract with Verizon to overhaul the communications system that serves as the backbone of the nation’s air traffic control and is awarding the work to Musk’s Starlink. Follow the money and see where it goes.
