This is an administration led by people who view numerous other people here and abroad as human dirt. That’s it. An objective analysis of the matter
Unreal. The US government is dumping Asian and African families and children in random countries that they have no connection to. Dumping, not "deporting." Deportation implies the return of a person to their home country. This is treating people like toxic waste.

Maybe there's hope for Amy Coney Barrett.
Turns out once you're on the Supreme Court you can vote any way you want to. I am sure that Sotomayor, Kagan, and Brown took her under their wing. She has to know she's not really accepted in the boys club.

hard to exaggerate how nuts the engagement is on Bluesky compared to 𝕏. a vastly smaller user base (at least officially), but just look at these stats for one of the biggest newspapers on Earth. Musk has absolutely trashed the platform. folks, you are not locked in on 𝕏. not even a little.

RFK Jr will do to the U.S. what he did to Samoa - all to make a buck. Please watch this if you haven’t.
Last year, when I was at MSNBC, I did a 10-minute deep-dive into RFK Jr's anti-vaxxer role in the measles outbreak that killed dozens and dozens of kids in Samoa.
I hope every Senator voting in his confirmation process for HHS knows about this crucial and awful story:

THIS JUST IN: An investigation of Tulsi Gabbard's PACs shows much of the funds raised have gone to fundraising & to pay her advisers, not the stated mission of the PACs. Plus, she won't reveal the donors to a charity she runs. All this needs vetting. Pass it on.

Tulsi Gabbard keeps starting up PACs. Where is the money going?
When her appointment as director of national intelligence is vetted, the Senate should scrutinize her political operation.
