Of course they are. Speaker Mike Johnson is planning to shut the House down early for summer recess, just to block an effort that would force a vote on releasing the Epstein investigation files. Because shielding Trump’s secrets matters more to them than doing their jobs.

People in ICE concentration camps are forced to kneel to eat food off plates “like dogs”, held on unsanitary buses in parking lots for more than 24 hours, crammed for weeks in freezing intake rooms where they sleep on the floor, and denied adequate medical care.
This is a human rights crisis.

The Trump admin is using the NYC shooting of an off-duty CBP officer to push anti-immigrant fear, blaming sanctuary laws with zero evidence. Now they’re threatening to flood the city with ICE agents. Classic scapegoating.

Hopefully, Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy can stop sobbing uncontrollably about a teenager on the C train who was watching TikTok without earbuds and devote a little of his attention to the near constant disaster that is air travel these days.
this is about as mad as you’re going to see a pilot on an intercom after they almost got directed into another plane on approach. also the reveal of what kind of plane almost slammed into them is a jaw-dropper
