Karl Rove is heinous and even he can’t stand it.
ROVE: “.. Using Charlie’s murder to justify retaliation against political rivals is wrong and dangerous. It will further divide and embitter our country. No good thing will come of it.”

ICE is now changing tactics and arresting people who have been granted asylum hearings.
 
This is both a violation of US & international law that demands immediate attention from all New York elected officials & underscores the urgent need for legal service providers to be at all of these cases.

kind of just endlessly sad and grieving that there are so few voices in the public sphere making the basic principled argument that immigration is an affirmative good in every way and the best way for this country to serve humanity is to welcome people who want or need to leave their homes

The USDA has withdrawn a plan to impose stronger safety regulations limiting salmonella levels in raw poultry.

Who was the biggest donor to Trump's inauguration fund?

Pilgrim’s Pride — one of the largest chicken processors in the country.

See how this works?

Well we are here at the *manipulate and lie about the data" phase of this nightmare. At this rate, we will never get confirmation from the govt if we end up in another full blown pandemic. Data is what they determine is true.
RFK Jr. said that he plans to roll out changes to the vaccine injury monitoring system, VAERS, in order to find negative impacts from vaccines.

He also said he would create a division at CDC to focus on “vaccine injuries.”

So far, he has overseen the firing of approximately 20% of CDC employees.

Critiques of the vaccine injury reporting system have long been part of Kennedy’s efforts to questions the safety of immunizations.

The MAGA leaders who claim to love America do not understand or believe in anything that makes this country great.

They are opposed to freedom of speech and competitive elections. They don’t love Americans or our ideals. They want to be kings in a country founded on revolution.

They’ll never accept it, but everyone who cast a vote for Donald Trump did real, generations-long damage to the United States and the west in exchange for essentially nothing of value.
Carney: "The old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation is over."

I know it's useless to say this, but the patient was perfectly healthy. This was like performing a quadruple bypass on a patient with no heart problems.
REPORTER: The markets today are way down. The worst day in years. Because of the tariffs. So, how's it going?

TRUMP: I think it's going very well. It was an operation like when a patient gets operated on.

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election.

70% of these donations went to Republicans.

Now, Republicans in Congress are gearing up to slash essential programs to pay for another round of tax cuts for the rich.

This is what oligarchy looks like.
