Enten: "Canada is far more popular than Donald Trump is here in the United States. The net popularity of Canada is +49. Trump is -10. We're talking about Canada coming out nearly 60 points ahead on the net popularity ratings versus Donald Trump here in the US"

So happy to see San Diego and the world turn out for No Kings Day. What is the response from our president? An AI generated video of him as king dropping feces on the US protestors peacefully excercusing their rights.

Sometimes you just have to take an afternoon off to play in the sun with friends...then back into the fray. We may not be able to solve all the world's problems but given a few hours, we closed the cold case.

Are your friends or relatives in the Florida concentration camp? Since the government has refused to, the Miami Herald has published a list of the detainees.

Is your family member or client at Alligator Alcatraz? We obtained a list

The Trump and DeSantis administrations have refused to release a roster of detainees, none of whom seem to appear in ICE’s online database.

Literal cages. Not even metaphorical ones. Literal ones.

Jason Delgado (Florida Capitol reporter for Spectrum News 13) on X: "Quick look at what inside a detainment tent looks like here at Alligator Alcatraz." What is shown in the picture is a long tent structure, about 50 feet wide. There is a corridor running down the middle. On each side are three rows of bunk beds. The bunk beds are sectioned off into cells which are constructed out of chain link fence, with chain link on the ceiling as well, making each cell a literal cage. It looks to me like each cell contains 9 bunk beds, so has capacity for 18 people each.

Merkley had a pretty effective day.

Or will have, if you make this go viral.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · Jun 25

MERKLEY: How do you feel about being responsible for hundreds of thousands of kids dying because of your sudden interruption in these key programs?

VOUGHT: I reject the assertion

MERKLEY: I find your response both ignorant & callous. Few Americans have had a more devastating & disastrous impact
