What is my profile picture? Promontory Point, UT, which I was able to visit a few years. Replica trains marking the point where technology brought people together. We got this!

Dear Speaker Mike Johnson:

SINCE YOU LOVE WORK REQUIREMENTS, I PROPOSE WORK REQUIREMENTS FOR CONGRESS. DO YOUR JOB OR NOT GET PAID! BRING THE HOUSE IN SESSION. THIS IS DESPICABLE!

What is a MAGA supporter to do when they see something like this?

Will they chant “Back the Blue!” to support the police or will they forget about their undying loyalty to municipal officers to show support for their cult leaders’ personal army?

What to do? What to do?

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

BREAKING: Republican Governor of Oklahoma comes out blasting deployment of National Guard from Texas to Illinois. Calls it a violation of States' Rights. MAGA and Trump are increasingly isolated on this -- as they should be. We will not stop until this insanity ends.

I saw that Trump went to Walter Reed today for his “annual check up”, his second one since the inauguration.

Here is a fact for you:

Workers at the hospital are federal employees and not getting paid to dispense his free health care while he works to cut health care access for the people.

If ICE officers can’t protect themselves then they shouldn’t be there.

So yesterday a reporter asked Donald Trump about the writ of habeas corpus, and he had no idea what it was.

"I don't know," he said. "I'd rather leave that to Kristi."

Well, It turns out Sen. Hassan asked Kristi Noem about it in May, and this was Noem's response:

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · May 20

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?

NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country

HASSAN: That's incorrect

The same people who insist that January 6th wasn’t an insurrection are also the ones who are now saying there is an insurrection because a priest is outside a detention center offering prayers, a guy in a frog costume is scary, and a toddler is enough of a threat they should be cuffed.
