Trump is a convicted felon (x34), he is the one who should be in jail.

It’s a "crisis" when immigrants "take jobs away", but "innovation" when machines do. Funny.

This is absolutely wild. All 10 starters in the #WNBA Finals are Black women. And you use this photo of 1. A white woman who hasn't played since the All-Star break and 2. A white woman eliminated in the first round. 3. With neither team in the Finals.

Be better, @usatodaysports.usatoday.com #WNBA

"He has 100s of 1000s of Arabs' blood on his hands. Tony Blair should be heading to The Hague, not to Gaza."

What I told Piers Morgan on his show this week, about the ludicrous and colonial plan to have Blair help Trump run Gaza.

Based on the pictures of these guys arriving in Chicago I think “the I’ll eat Texas national guard” is more accurate.

Nobody in the blue states asked for your “help,” Greg.

Tweet from Greg Abbott showing members of the Texas National Guard boarding a large military cargo plane on a runway at sunrise. Text reads:
“The elite Texas National Guard.
Ever ready.
Deploying now.”

I saw the US elect a black president, twice; and then saw the US elect a stupid racist, twice. I know a lot of us saw the same overlap, but still weird.

So Bondi plans her congressional hearings by bringing up dirt on the senators who questioned her rather than answering the questions. This is the lying schemer that is running the DOJ.

Mike Johnson says Republicans may not pay back federal workers after Trump’s shutdown.

They stand with billionaires and turn their backs on the workers who keep this country running. 😡
