This is horrifying!
I’m sorry, if someone has a birth certificate that proves they were born here but a mobile app with face recognition software disagrees, they will side with the app?

What?
New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people

It’s good to recap:

“After $2 billion transaction with Trump cryptocurrency, convicted felon receives pardon”

“Pentagon awards major drone contract to company linked to Trump Jr.”

“Trump seeks $230 million payment from Justice Department officials he appointed”

The cruel and inhumane treatment of citizens may have happened in the wrong community. I hope this results in a serious lawsuit to impact how these federal agents/thugs behave moving forward.

It’s not just that they don’t have to turn off SNAP benefits — they’re not legally allowed to. They legally must use the contingency fund.

The admin is pretending they can’t use it even though their own guidance from a month ago (that they’ve since deleted) contradicts that.
Yes, they’re using the shutdown to turn off SNAP benefits.

No, they don’t have to.
Go ahead and dismantle and abolish ICE, though.
I abhor the destruction of the East wing of the White House by Drumpf, I think the pledges to destroy the new ballroom are wrong.
Name it the Barack Obama ballroom and make it a sort of museum or library to the east wing and the rose garden, or something of that nature.
A great idea!
If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

There’s money to bomb boats in Venezuela.

There’s money to give $50k signing bonuses to ICE & increase their weapons budget 700%

There’s $40 billion for Argentina

There’s money for military vanity parades.

But there’s no money for SNAP, healthcare or housing.

Got it.

NEVER FORGET: In July 2025, the GOP passed the BBB with $75B in additional, multi-year funding to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

BUT the GOP Congress will NOT negotiate to EXTEND ACA Subsidies for 20M+ Americans for $32B. #GOPPriorities

Just for the record, in 2020:
- Wray was the FBI director Trump handpicked to replace Comey
- Jack Smith was in the Hague prosecuting Kosovo war crimes
- Garland was an appeals court judge
- Monaco was in private practice in LA

There was no Biden administration yet, crooked or otherwise.

He crazy.

I know this is ‘old news’ to a lot of us but now it’s coming full circle with tRump sending $40B to Argentina, who competes with our farmers.
I think they’re waking up.

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."
Ugh it just makes me sick to my stomach!!
Just ripping it down like a strip mall. No attempt to save any of the windows, exterior trim... nothing. Barbarians.

The tyrant tears the People's house down to raise a hall of mirrors. This is not a remodel, it’s an assault. The unmasking of a king. Our country is asleep while the echo of a republic bleeds out beneath the ballroom floor. These images should enrage every patriotic American.

Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU

I gasped! Now I feel really sad.
This literally took my breath away. That's the People's house. It contains so much beautiful, terrible, fascinating, and horrifying history. What an embodiment of the damage he has done and will continue to do.

Moskowitz: We need $30 billion to extend, obviously, these healthcare subsidies, which allow Americans—Americans, not illegal—Americans, citizens, to afford healthcare.

And the president’s like, “We don’t have $30 billion, but I am going to send $40 billion to my dear friend in Argentina.”
