This is a recount from a reporter who attended Trump’s parade. You should check it out.

She describes Trump’s supporters enduring “real misery” before the parade even started.

Contrast that w/the millions of us who enthusiastically endured heat and rain to protest Trump and stand up for democracy.

“A U.S. citizen!” And now he’s missing.

Adrian Martinez tried to defend a man ICE was harassing. Video shows six agents swarming him. He struggles but doesn’t lay hands on them. They take him to the ground & shove him into a CBP vehicle.

Abuse of power. Keep recording. Don’t stop.

U.S. agents suspected Bukele and some in his inner circle of diverting USAID funds to MS-13 leaders.

Agents sought to review any U.S. bank accounts held by 15 Salvadoran political figures including Bukele, other senior officials and their relatives.

“Delay, Interfere, Undermine”

President Donald Trump has praised Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele as a crime fighter, but new reporting based on interviews and documents reveals how senior Salvadoran officials have impeded a…

Levin: I have to give a shoutout to MeidasTouch, because on April 5th, a lot of the corporate media, a lot of the legacy media, was not closely covering the single largest peaceful day of protest in years—but MeidasTouch was.

A little over a week ago a Democrat aide was arrested.

Fast forward to today; US Senator Alex Padilla was unjustly shoved out of a presser and arrested.

@therickwilson.bsky.social from @lincolnproject.us is on the hot mic spitting fire once again.

Outraged and heartbroken by the news of two young people killed last night in DC in a targeted act of antisemitic violence. This is the opposite of advancing justice and peace - it only furthers the violence, pain, and loss - and such hatred must be firmly rejected by all.

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?

NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country

Oh, *NOW* they want to call her Dr. Jill Biden...

First: She's not a medical doctor - so, there's that.

Second: Even if she was a medical doctor, we're talking prostate cancer - that's not something you can detect from normal observational methods. So, it's unreasonable & ridiculous to blame her.

We already knew the DOJ was going to be used by the Chump administration, but Stephen Miller is the very worst person to be calling the shots there... He's actually very smart and capable, but an evil ghoul - which makes him absolutely dangerous with this level of power.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

Honestly, I am seriously hoping that the DOJ fights this all the way up to the Supreme Court. Either way, it would be a loss for them.

Trump doesn’t give a damn about coal, or the workers. He cares about the coal industry, not the coal miners.

The fact that miners still back him while he strips away their protections is exactly why people call MAGA a cult. No grip on reality.

There's nothing I could say in this 300 character post that could possibly top the message delivered in this 1 minute 41 second long video.

Endeavor to be worthy of the sacrifice that was made for us and all future generations, and be diligent in continuing to be worthy.

This absolutely pathetic man child crying and wailing about the Met Gala... and I absolutely love the fact that he didn't even have the self preservation to omit the part of the speech attacking Kamala for being "unable to speak coherently" when he couldn't even read and orate his speech properly.

Anything Stephen Miller wants should instantly be denied, as it's obviously going to end poorly for you.
