We can all agree this is basically an admission, right?

It’s not just chaos. It’s not just dysfunction. It’s a full-on, bare-knuckle, metaphorical dick-punching contest where every last contestant is trying to uppercut their way into Trump’s affection while accidentally curb-stomping each other’s credibility…

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

Trump's argument for the elimination of the estate tax is that the heirs of the super rich will no longer have to go beg a predatory Jewish banker for a bridge loan to overcome cash flow problems associated with the $15 million dollar estate they're about to get.

Ever wonder where the tomato on your #July4th burger comes from? These Central Valley tomato harvesters spend hours bent over under the sun harvesting. On an average they lift around 170 buckets a day. Each bucket weighs 25 lbs. It’s exhausting, physical labor. #WeFeedYou

The sad irony…

The ACA—mocked as “Obamacare” by the right—insured 30M people. Half the country hated it. Republicans tried to “repeal”, NOT “replace” it.

Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” is projected by Yale to cause 51,000 preventable deaths. And most Americans still don’t realize what’s coming.

JUST NOW: ICE denied at Dodgers stadium

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium.

ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

Things are pretty fucked up if a mom‘s two sons — both members of the National Guard — had to accompany her to her immigration hearing to make sure she wouldn’t be detained by ICE.

Why are Republicans trying to prevent states from regulating A.I. for *10 years* even as tech companies themselves say it's moving so fast we have no idea what it will like even a year from now?

My latest at Public Notice: www.publicnotice.co/p/reconcilia...
Republicans want unregulated AI. What could go wrong?
A provision in Trump's big bill would eliminate state-level regulation for 10 years.

I asked ICE where the “413% increase in assaults” justification for its officers using masks came from. They didn’t answer. So I dug into it, and what I found … did not boost their argument.

ICE officials keep touting a 413 percent increase in assaults on officers to justify officers masking their identities.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"
