ICE agents get a $50K signing bonus.
Why can't they buy & wear a proper ICE/Police uniform?
They're dressed like farmers & hoodlums.
Glad to see some aren't wearing masks, though.

Fuck Kristi Noem & Pam Bondi

All but one of the surgeons general since 1992 (when I was 12!) came together to denounce RFK Jr because he is a threat to public health. That’s remarkable. RFK Jr must resign before he causes further damage.

It seems the President didn’t hear us the first, second, or third time, so I’ll say it again.

There will be no federal takeover of Portland.

A GOP military mom pressed Mike Johnson on paying the troops during the shutdown: “I’m begging you to pass this legislation.”

The exchange happened during the House speaker’s appearance on C-SPAN to take live caller questions.

(1 of 4) Last night, someone told me they enjoy following me—but not my political posts. I thought about that a lot today and realized something: what they call “political” isn’t politics to me. It’s about humanity. It’s about who I am.

Schiff: "If a president in secret can put names on a list and kill them, then there is no war power still retained by Congress, and there's no check on an executive who may drag us into another war."

I would LOVE to see more Senators call Blondi Bondi a LIAR!!
Especially to her face!
She is a petulant little crybaby!

Dr. Jack Brown @drjackbrown.bsky.social · 1d

Most of Dem Senators did not attack Bondi yesterday as they should have. Among other things they should have said, "You're lying again, Ms. Bondi" and "That's a bald-faced lie, Ms. Bondi."

The rapid rise of authoritarianism is no place for etiquette.

It's been over 9 months since the Palisades and Eaton Fires tore through Los Angeles. We asked for federal support, but we haven’t heard a word from the White House.

Not a single offer.

Is this what leadership looks like? Abandoning the American people when they call for help?

tRump, Stephen Miller, Pete Hegseth, Pam Bondi, Karoline Leavitt are a few very angry morons.

Natalie Wynn @contrapoints.bsky.social · 1d

Any form of media that involves an angry man telling an audience what to be angry about for several hours a day is probably not good for the human brain

Mike Johnson said ON TV Adelita Grijalva could be sworn in WHENEVER SHE WANTS!
He said it yesterday!!
Ms Grijalva, CALL MIKE JOHNSON AND GET SWORN IN!!

Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 1d

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

Q: Do you agree that the mayor of Chicago and governor of Illinois should be in prison?

MIKE JOHNSON: Should they be in prison? I'm not the attorney general. I'm not following the day to day on that

So the people causing the shutdown are getting paid. The people keeping the country running don’t.

And Speaker Mike Johnson won’t let the House come back to work. So basically they’re on a paid vacation while Americans miss paychecks.

Did I get that right?
