It seems almost surreal that Rick Snyder is making a stand against Trump. Alas, none of the GOP MI Gubernatorial candidates nor "independent" Mike Duggan are willing to say that Trump is wrong about the Gordie Howe Bridge. GOP Senate candidates also will not disagree with Trump. Sad...

All I see on my Twitter timeline are reporters parsing every quote from AOC in Germany, trying to mock them for incoherence or inaccuracy, while a demented old man who can’t string sentences together or stay awake sits in the Oval, while the legacy media happily sanewashes his quotes.

New rule:

If you share any donnie sunshine truth posts..... you have to guess who actually drafted the post.

Example: "depth of legal arguments" -- sounds Ron Vara or Peter Navarro-ish to me so I'll go with Ron Vara drafted the post.

Greenland PM Jens-Frederik Nielsen:

"The Greenlandic people have never felt threatened. The first time they felt unsafe for real is when an ally talked about acquiring them, buying them. It's outrageous."

Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

While we are working to deregulate and remove as many burdens as we can on our richest fellow citizens, we are working overtime to criminalize and disappear our most vulnerable. Read about a SCOTUS with broad implications for free speech beyond the case itself.

Hanne Engan was deprived of insulin in ICE detention.

She has Type 1 diabetes & needs insulin to survive.

They deprived her of urgent medical attention & she almost died.

This isn't a one off. This administration is torturing immigrants to get them to sign away their rights.🧵
