Shameful. There are few things that are less American than this!
Immigrants ‘plucked out of line’ at citizenship ceremony at Faneuil Hall “the cradle of liberty”.
If you ever claimed you want immigrants to do it the right way, this should outrage you. On the other hand, If you think this was okay, you need to come to terms with your white nationalist views.

Honestly it’s pathetic
In a post on X tonight, the State Department says it “renamed the former Institute of Peace to reflect the greatest dealmaker in our nation's history.”
“Welcome to the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace.”

#Ukraine is presented a 28 point surrender document that rewards Russia for its aggression. #Zelensky should stall & ask the people of Ukraine in a ballot measure to approve or decline this #russianrepublican document. Zelensky should resist, as trump is not in WH forever, but surrender is forever.

#trumptydumpty met with Mamdani and overall praised him as he knows he is losing the affordability debate and sees a way to co-opt #Mamdani and make it appear they are friends. trump, mugging for the cameras, has a pathological urge to be heard and seen on camera.

Trump has shredded the Constitution. He's taken an axe to checks and balances. Now he's literally taking a bulldozer to the White House to build a ballroom while the government is shut down. When we say "No Kings," this is why.

BREAKING NYT:
Trump just fired a U.S. attorney who insisted on following a court order.
Michele Beckwith, the top federal prosecutor in Sacramento, was fired hours after she reminded a Border Patrol chief to abide by court-ordered restrictions on immigration raids.

in addition to being scientific garbage, RFK identifying Tylenol as a cause of autism insidiously shifts the blame to pregnant moms, extending his overarching idea that if you get sick, it's because you did something wrong (Blame and sickness are also not concepts that should even be in play here)

The disappearance of America’s leadership class at a time like this means that the rest of us have to be leaders. We can no longer wait to be led by those with the power and authority to lead. You must lead, I must lead, all of us must lead. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

The #Supinecourt has ruled for trump and against democracy in every key court decision this year. They allow trump to run roughshod over institutions and the rule of law, until he soon won't need them anymore.

They departed Texas 5 days ago.
What a colossal waste of time, money & military resources. All for a President who has shown zero respect for service personnel.

It's kind of insane, though by this point entirely understandable, that Trump's threatened FIFTY PER CENT tariffs on steel from TOMORROW and everyone's like "I mean what can we do, it'll happen or it won't".

Republicans are deploying every trick in the book to gut Medicaid while claiming they’re not cutting it.
The CBO estimates the latest GOP plan would kick nearly 9 million people off Medicaid.
Why?
To fund tax cuts that will disproportionately benefit corporations and the rich.
