Judge rips Noem’s latest termination of immigrant protections: ‘Color is neither a poison nor a crime’. It's never been about immigrants. it's always been about hate and racism.

The RIFs that began Friday will reportedly cut 65% of CISA’s 2,540 employees, one of the dumbest and most dangerous moves imaginable. CISA defends the nation’s cyber and critical infrastructure. Destroying it now only makes sense if you’re afraid of election integrity.

Some day, all of these congresspeople are going to be remembered in shame. This will be their legacy.

@repstansbury.bsky.social: "This is gangster activity. The president is trying to shield pedophiles by calling and threatening members of Congress. We need more members of Congress, whether it's the Epstein files, the shutdown, health care, democracy, the rule of law, to just fucking do their jobs."

I keep seeing this get posted. The AZ electors were charged a year and a half ago. The AZ Superior Court ENDED the case five months ago. The AZ AG will have to appeal to the AZ Supreme Court or go back and start again with a grand jury. Please stop sharing this.

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

MYTH: ICE agents lack proper training.

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

Schatz: They’re stopping wind and solar because this guy has some very strange ideas about the energy mix. And it’s consistent with the rest of his political and economic philosophy — if there’s less of everything, it gives him more authority to dole out favors
