As Fiserv CEO, Frank Bisignano overinflated sales projections before quickly cashing out with a $500M stock sale.

Now, Fiserv's market value has collapsed — and Trump has put Bisignano in charge of Social Security.

Just reading about Anderson’s Pea Soup in Buellton, CA. It has closed and is scheduled for demotion.

It’s been a Highway 101 landmark since 1924. I can remember eating there with my grandparents in the early 1960s.

I’m broken hearted.

As the Buddhists say, “Everything changes”.

ANY QUESTIONS?!

Attacking Iran fits with Trump’s desire to divert attention from his failures at home: his losses in the courts, his unpopular budget bill, millions protesting against his authoritarianism. When he feels humiliated, he gets reckless…

Understand what's going on here.

LA DODGERS just now:

“This morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots. They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization. Tonight’s game will be played as scheduled.”

Right on, Dodgers!
More of this, please.

BREAKING: Trump "humiliated" as his pathetic birthday parade draws barely 20,000 people, as an estimated 10 MILLION Americans attended anti-Trump "No Kings" protests across America…

I cannot stress enough how much the anti-ICE protests are an overwhelming win for Democrats on social media. I’m seeing Instagram influencers who stayed silent on politics for the past year loudly sharing support for immigrants. I’m seeing podcasters who interviewed Trump talk about how wrong ICE is

Los Angeles: don’t take Trump’s bait.

Trump wants chaos and he’s instigated violence. Those who assault law enforcement or cause property damage will risk arrest.

Stay peaceful. Stay focused. Don’t give him the excuse he’s looking for.

This is an official plan for ethnic cleansing. If you supported Israel for the past 18 months or so under the assumption that this was about the hostages you were taken for a ride.

If you still support Israel's assault on Gaza, you support ethnic cleansing. It's that simple.
Israel plans to occupy and flatten all of Gaza if no deal by Trump's trip
Trump has effectively given Netanyahu a green light to do as he sees fit, Israeli officials say.

In this documentary, Theroux allows ultra-nationalist Israeli settlers to speak with perfect openness. It is chilling.

So, uh, it certainly looks like DOJ intended to file a letter to Judge Liman in MTA v. Duffy, but….it accidentally filed a letter containing its legal advice to the Department of Transportation instead

The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. We’re already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.

Thank you, Sen. Van Hollen, for standing up not just for Kilmar Abrego Garcia and his family but for every American who believes in due process.

We can't stop speaking out until he is home and this administration is forced to stop its horrific practice of kidnapping people without charge or trial.
I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

If anyone you know in ICE tells you they’re “just following orders” remind them of the following:

- they can read

- they’re aware of the SCOTUS ruling and numerous injunctions around the illegality of what they’re doing

- feigning ignorance will not soften their place in history…or in America.

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia.

I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.
