I know how to zipper merge.
Somebody on here gave me shit for playing golf in the very hot weather but she also failed to acknowledge the key point which was that pickle juice is very effective at replacing salt lost while exercising. I drank it during and after and felt awesome. If you must be outside, try 🥒 juice!

20-year-old U.S. citizen Adrian Andrew Martinez was swarmed by ICE in Pico Rivera while defending someone. He never hit back—just struggled—before being slammed into a CBP van. No records. No lawyer. His mom can’t find him. This is abuse of power. Keep recording. Don’t stop.

law enforcement officials say they made a proactive check at Rep. Hortman's home after a lawmaker who lived nearby was shot and found a "police vehicle in the driveway with emergency lights and what appeared to be a police officer at the door coming out of the house." He was actually the gunman.

Donald Trump’s deployment of the military in Los Angeles over the objection of California leaders is an abuse of power and a dangerous escalation.

It’s what you would see in authoritarian states and it must stop.

Americans have the right to speak out and peacefully protest.

Trump’s order stops short of Insurrection Act…BUT we’re on a slippery slope. Hegseth can mobilize as many National Guard and regular troops as he wants. They’re to protect “federal functions,” which is elastic. And once some use of military is normalized, won’t Trump seek any excuse to go further?

The crackdowns on civilians and the threat of the national guard being sent to LA should be *the* most important story right now-- not the Trump/Musk feud or whatever the f**k that was.

People are being terrorized all over the country. News outlets need to get it together.

I feel like Musk could really blow MAGA's collective minds just by continuing to tweet out facts the rest of us have known for years but never penetrated their media bubble.

Good morning to everyone but the most corrupt president to ever exist, who is at this moment selling out his nation to the funders of terrorism so his boy can sign another $2 billion deal. Oh and Tom Holman

NEW: Minnesota’s graduation rate just reached the highest level on record.

Two years ago, we made the single-largest investment in public schools in state history.
 
Today, we’re seeing the results.

If we’re serious about more efficient government and better everyday life in America - which we all should be - that means actually improving government, not cutting health care for poor people and slashing support for veterans.
