Nothing to see here, move along.

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M, to detain 4k people of whom only 30 were accused of violent crimes. $9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst". Plus two citizens murdered. ~ Veterans for Peace

Our assignment is to embarrass fascist hack and Trump-panderer Bari Weiss by making sure this segment, which she banned from airing, gets more views on YouTube than it would have gotten on CBS. #StreisandEffect

I wish our president would put as much energy into serving Americans as he does his many lawsuits.

Investigators say one immigration official abused his girlfriend for years. Another admitted he sexually abused a woman in his custody. A third is charged with taking bribes.

Body cam from when Border Patrol shot a woman 5 times in Chicago last year. The agents have guns drawn and pointed. One says "do something b----." Then: "Time to get aggressive." Moments later, the driver can be seen swerving the car into hers, jumping out & firing almost immediately.

Trump’s video depicting Obama’s as monkeys is beneath the president. His use of TAX DOLLARS on vanity projects is appalling. He threatens the electoral process. He has done NOTHING for Americans. His crimes grow. If you support him, you are a horrible person.

Make Peter Thiel into the villain, Democrats. It's all there. He is the node that connects Trump, Vance, Palantir, Musk, Epstein, and so many other terrible players. Just expose it and make him and Musk the face of these psychopathic billionaires ruining our lives.

We need Democrats in Congress to grasp this moment. Trump’s thugs are shooting, abusing and killing people in our streets with impunity — and we need leaders to stop this lawlessness now. Wake up: This five-alarm fire will get worse without loud and focused opposition.

NEW: Data released by ICE shows that virtually the entire growth of detention in the last few months has been among people with no criminal record at all - no prior convictions (no matter how minor) and no pending criminal charges.

Renee Good was murdered by Jonathan Ross. Arrest him. www.startribune.com/ice-agent-wh...

BREAKING: Local and federal sources tell ABC News that federal agents shot two people in Portland, Oregon, on Thursday afternoon. The FBI is responding. The sources say the agents who opened fire are with U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

SCOOP — Pennsylvania prosecutors were alerted to possible voting irregularities by one of MAGA's leading voices against voter fraud. A long paper trail shows Jack Posobiec has been living in Maryland but voting using his parents' PA address for years. From @jsweetli.bsky.social, @slate.com + me:

Earlier today ICE agents hit someone with a car and tear gassed a neighborhood, sparking several fires and disrupting businesses. Immigrants, by contrast, did not.

These are the proactive steps states need to be taking right now. Another thing: every Democratic governor needs to have a sit-down now with the state adjutant general to carefully review that person's understanding of their responsibilities to their state, its citizens and the federal constitution.

The problem is not that there are too many Americans protesting in the streets. The problem is that there are not enough. Not by a long shot.

1/ If accurate, this is almost certainly a conflict with the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits the use of the military for domestic law enforcement, including the National Guard if they are federalized.

If you don't believe fascism has taken hold in this country, look no further than what ICE is doing, illegally, mind you, in LA. This is what the Nazis did in 1930s Germany. Trump is escalating the elimination of non-white immigrants (legal or not) to further bully we the people into submission.

REMIND PEOPLE TO SIGN UP FOR TICKETS to the Trump Birthday Party/Military Parade so we can repeat the humiliation served by the KPop kids who trolled Trump on his Tulsa rally when no one showed up. events.america250.org/events/250th...

Imagine that. www.npr.org/2025/06/02/n...

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

Trump lit the match, poured the gasoline, and now wants to use the blaze he is creating as pretext to burn it all down.

Elon, I'm gonna need you to provide 5 things you accomplished this week. Looks like a lot of wasteful government spending.

Trump once again touts his campaign promise of eliminating taxes on tips and overtime.. but the current GOP budget plan does not include those tax cuts.

Veterans fired from the VA. Nuclear security experts fired. Ebola and bird flu experts fired. DOGE is destroying critical agencies to pay for more tax cuts for billionaires. Don’t let them fool you into believing otherwise.

Of course they are .

Donald Trump is LYING about Social Security. Social Security has extremely low rates of fraud. Trump is setting the stage to cut off benefits to people he deems enemies or undeserving. HANDS OFF OUR EARNED BENEFITS!

PolitiFact and the Associated Press, among others, have already debunked those Social Security fraud claims, which were previously made by Elon Musk in an X post last month. www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...

This happened in court 4 days ago. DOJ said Musk was NOT the head of DOGE. x.com/AnnaBower/st...

Things Trump did that he isn't talking about tonight... -Fired 17 inspectors general and the top govt ethics director -Halted anti-bribery enforcement and money laundering laws -Dismantled CFPB at the behest of billionaires -Put a corporate lobbyist in charge of the DOJ "Drain the swamp."

FACT: Egg prices have hit a record high under Donald Trump.

Donald Trump just admitted Elon Musk leads DOGE after telling a federal court that Elon Musk does not lead DOGE. Judge Chutkan, the DOJ lied.

Trump just said DOGE is headed by Elon Musk? That’s going to be awkward for the court filings in which they specifically said he wasn’t in charge.

Trump hails his first month as the greatest first month of any president and he's more popular than ever. But...

The House Freedom Caucus warns Democrats that it will move to censure anyone who interrupts the Trump speech to Congress.

when you repeat a known falsehood it is a "lie":Trump is wrong that US was richest during the Gilded Age, and he is overstating the impact of tariffs. He is also wrong that the country grew less prosperous in 1913, when a permanent federal income tax was introduced. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/04/u...

2 lies I hear from the right about the federal government: "The federal government has gotten so bloated!" The federal government is the same size it was when Kennedy was president. "Reagan was the last president to cut the federal government!" There were MORE fed employees when he left office.

🚨 UPDATE: After humiliating the U.S. on the world stage, Trump just jetted off to Florida—to golf. He’s now spent 35% of his presidency on vacation, burning through $20M+ in taxpayer dollars. The laziest "president" in U.S. history.

yyyyyeah maybe we shouldn’t just “relax”

GOP says we are in a national energy crisis and must declare an emergency Data says something else In 1978, US consumption of oil was 19M B/day, same as now The US population was 112M less; the GDP was 40% of today's. Today, we are an energy exporter for the 1st time since the 1950s No crisis

Ok America. What’s the plan for fighting the trump abomination ? I’m really interested in solid ideas. The last five days have been horrific.
