genuinely crazy-making how much the national press is indifferent to the verifiable fact that jd vance is buddy buddy with internet nazis, and the degree to which this is almost certainly a form of solidarity among people with a similar institution pedigree
mainstream media report on jd vance’s twitter mutuals, challenge level: impossible

When CBP left LA for Chicago @ajaxsinger.bsky.social made the most important point I’ve seen:

Be sand in their gears

They’re staging in a parking lot? Contact the owner of the lot, most don’t like it. Make noise outside their hotel. Don’t serve them in restaurants. Blow whistles. Make them quit.
Miller's quotas are a bit of a saving grace bc as soon as an area makes it hard to rendition people, they're forced to move on or miss their metrics. Eventually, most enforcement will migrate into red areas and red states in spite of the promises to the business owners to leave those workers alone.

He also says Russia collusion was a hoax.
He also says the 2020 election was a hoax.
He also says climate change is a hoax.
He also said COVID was a hoax.
And now he also says the Epstein files are a hoax.

The second paragraph of every article about Trump freeing House Republicans to vote to release the Epstein files should make it clear that he could order them released himself and chooses not to.

He pretends that sexually assaulting women is normal…

That cheating on your taxes is normal…

Now, that pedophilia is normal.

None of it is normal.

This is exactly why it should be known as Fox entertainment and not news.

What’s even more bonkers is their viewers actually believe this crap, and the rest of us have to deal with the fallout of their misinformation.

Democrats built Direct File to cut out middlemen like TurboTax that charge ridiculous fees.

Trump killed it. Thanks to Republicans, Turbotax wins and you lose.

The Trump administration has decided not to offer the IRS' electronic tax filing system for free next year, and its future is unclear

again I note how it’s fundamentally impossible to imagine the media going out of their way to pre-exonerate Hillary Clinton like this
Kate Bolduan: "The president has not been accused of any crimes or wrongdoing as it relates to Jeffrey Epstein or these files even with these emails being released. That's one thing we need to make clear. There's no accusations of any wrongdoing so far."

US citizen Maria Greeley, a Latina who was adopted, was walking home from work downtown when masked agents zip tied her. They said she “doesn’t look like a Greeley.” This is how the government treats people under current deportation policies.

With a eugenics pushing ghoul like Kennedy as HHS Secretary and a GOP caucus that has already taken a trillion dollars out of health care, it is a pretty safe bet that anything these people do on the subject is a painted cardboard facade in front of a gas chamber.

Those w/ pre-existing conditions certainly won't be able to get "healthcare on their own terms."

I can't shake the feeling that this is yet another attempt to discard those who have health issues (ie, pre-existing conditions) and feed them to the wolves. It's peak fascism.
Cassidy: "The president is proposing that we take the $26b that would be going to insurance companies if we just do an extension and give it directly to the American people in which 100% of the money is used for them to purchase healthcare on their own terms. That makes them an informed consumer."
