holy shit this is a helluva ad from the Democrat running against Joni Ernst in Iowa. worth every second

ICE is turbocharged now. They've tested the waters on activating the National Guard. They've de facto eliminated district court injunctions. There's nothing standing in their way and things are about to get very real, very fast

Voters of Tomorrow will invest to turn out young people and flip this seat blue.

As I noted in today’s post, this really was the most egregious thing that happened in LA yesterday and that’s saying an awful lot

WE love this LADY!! and she is totally CORRECT!!

Trump, Billionaires, and One Hell of a party crash Protesters shut down a $50K-a-table gala for the Manhattan Institute—because nothing says “populist” like tuxedos, caviar, and billionaire bootlicking. Even a Trump clown imitator got cuffed. Welcome to the resistance, Upper East Side.

I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

1. EXCLUSIVE The Veterans Administration is requiring therapists to return to the office full time, but does not have enough space for them As a result, they are forced to provide mental health counseling to veterans in open cubicles It is an unethical and likely illegal practice

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

🚨 Justice Dept Solves Immigration Crisis by Deleting the Judges Nothing says “solving the crisis” like axing 20 immigration judges while drowning in a 3.7 million case backlog. Maybe next they’ll fix airport delays by firing air traffic controllers. 🙈

Welp. Turns out electing an unstable maniac is a bad idea after all.

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

So Trump is stealing food from grannies, health care for poor people, and education from kids. All things Congress ORDERED the Executive Branch to deliver to constituents. And the GOP is okay with that.

This is not normal, or natural, or inevitable. youtu.be/ZfBkw0j-QIs?...
