I also want to know why every reporter isn't asking him to explain how he can claim to be solving the drug problem by blowing up boats while he's pardoning all the biggest drug dealers.
Like Rep Gregory Meeks I want to know why Republicans are silent about Trump pardoning a narco who was convicted of smuggling 400 tons of drugs into the country.

📌Jack Smith testified today his team “developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt” Trump conspired to overturn the 2020 election.
-Why, dear God, WHY did his appointment come so late from AG Merrick Garland?
-Why aren't Republicans allowing us to hear this testimony?

The WRAP is an (inexplicably) legal torture device. When you understand how it works, you'll get why the very threat of being placed in one would set off a full-blown panic attack for many/most people.
I’ve heard from immigration attorneys that clients say ICE guards lay out the WRAP device (essentially a full-body straitjacket) on the tarmac as a threat — “do what we say or you’re getting the WRAP on the whole flight.”
And here’s proof, from Seattle livestream today via @lalabote.bsky.social.

DOGE had a cutting spree. 550 vet-owned businesses felt it.
Among the contracts DOGE canceled under the Department of Veterans Affairs alone, two-thirds were with veteran-owned businesses.

The notion that people fake disability to get benefits is so ridiculous. Do people understand how hard the gov makes it to get benefits & maintain them? Quoting Alice Wong again, "Staying alive is a lot of work for a disabled person in an ableist society."

Vaccines themselves are such a metaphor for how the anti-vax demographic views society. If the rest of us didn’t do our part, most of them would be doing a very different risk assessment before declining immunization. They depend on the rest of us getting vaccinated so we stay above herd immunity.
