Though I admit I was somewhat surprised that our dovish president was passed over for the Nobel Peace Prize, I was shocked that RFk, Jr did not receive the Nobel for medicine. His deep insight into circumscision and autism came too late. There’s always next year.

A rare admission from the administration that policy choices have knock-off effects.

In this case: immigration crackdowns raise your grocery bill.

“Are these tariffs ‘Liberation Day 2’?” Or will we get another ‘TACO Tuesday?’

This is how we all talk now. Absurd. 🌮

Marjorie Taylor Greene: "We have to do something about labor, and that needs to be a smarter plan than just rounding up every single person and deporting them."

OUR tax dollars are being used to bail out Argentina, OUR troops are being put on the ground in Israel & OUR soil is being used by Qatar for a military base of their own.
While OUR government is shutdown.
Anyone who believes OUR so-called “president” when he says he is “America first”, is an idiot.

Outside of Portland's ICE facility last night, Kenny from South Park got married to a unicorn.

The betrothed Portland couple said they decided to get hitched on site to bring some joy and fun to a dark time.

"People can be fun loving people and still protest."

“We can give $20 billion to Argentina but we can’t afford the CDC’s measles experts” is a hell of an argument

“The Constitution’s meaning is not the Supreme Court’s alone to define. It belongs to ‘we the people,’” Kate Andrias writes. “And when we organize collectively, we can change it, even without ratifying formal amendments.”

Opinion | The Constitution Doesn’t Belong to Trump or the Supreme Court

It belongs to us. And we can use it to rescue our democracy.

Portland Frogman used “spooky” hands and hip thrusts to make ICE agents retreat. Under that costume are huge muscles, watch video. An ICE asshole sprayed pepper spray into the air vent but Frogman continued in his costume another hour. Hero #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue

Johnson: If you look at polling, people's faith in the federal government is at an all-time low. Why? Because they don't see that it's being done well.

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

Trump: "The person who actually got the Nobel Prize called today, called me, and said 'I'm accepting this in honor of you, because you really deserved it.' A really nice thing to do. I didn't say 'Then give it to me, though.'"

“More than three dozen federal judges have told The New York Times that the Supreme Court’s flurry of brief, opaque emergency orders in cases related to the Trump administration have left them confused about how to proceed in those matters and are hurting the judiciary’s image with the public.”

New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday.

Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he’s not allowed to speak to him “by law” and another says “We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close…If he gets any closer, put him in cuffs.”
