I'd love to know how many of these Death Squad "agents" have past criminal records & if they've SERIOUSLY been psychologically evaluated.
Given the impunity they've been granted, you can BET on the fact that every disturbed individual who has ever fantasized abt murdering ppl will be applying.

Whoever wants the Dem nom in 2028 needs to recognize this moment for what it is and start taking SMART actions accordingly. Will ANYONE meet recognize what's happening and step up? I'm watching, I'm waiting.

WHAT. THE. FUCK?!!!!
From Senator Chris Murphy, Connecticut

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.

Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

ICE has become the #1 US Domestic Terrorist Organization! Full Stop.
From Steve Simon, MN Secy of State. ICE agents chase down and handcuff a child in negative temperatures while he's saying "I'm legal".

How is this making us safer?

Glad I was wrong! Keep going Carney!

Had a long ride w/ a Venezuelan Uber driver recently
Learned a LOT abt how Venezuelans see things
1 They LOVE that Trump took Maduro
2 They HATE Trump & his immigration nonsense
3 They LOVE Machado. She's been around a LONG time & they hopefully think she's "playing the game" to get her country back
Trump: “It was my Great Honor to meet María Corina Machado, of Venezuela, today. She is a wonderful woman who has been through so much. María presented me with her Nobel Peace Prize for the work I have done. Such a wonderful gesture of mutual respect. Thank you María!”

Hey I'm always willing to allow for the CHANCE to change. I strongly believe in the power of change & if we don't allow for that possibility, we become less powerful.
That said, @cbsnews.com is a corporate-owned entity & Corps value money. Not anchors. Not audience. And certainly NOT America.

I LOVE how I've trained my ChatGPT's personality!
I uploaded the transcript and after some discussion of the more heated moments it summarized one of the exchanges as:
"Jordan wanted a knife fight.
Jack brought a chessboard."
L-O-L!!
ICYMI: The deposition transcript of Former Special Counsel, Jack Smith, has been released by the House Judiciary Committee.

(I’ll share my thoughts and observations after I’ve had the chance to review it.)

Damn, Bill Clinton just called Trump & Pam Bondi's bluff. Clinton released a statement calling on Bondi to release all of the Epstein files that mention him - including photos.

This is what a president with a spine looks like.

Meanwhile, Trump is having the FBI scrub his name from the files.

This is regressive nonsense. We've been down this road before. Remember the days of the masses being UNDER-insured? That's what this is. And THIS is exactly what lead to needing the ACA in the first place.
Rand Paul: "My plan is this -- let people on the Obamacare market, which is about 4% of America, a small number of people, let them buy their insurance through Costco, Sam's Club, Amazon ... "

Reuters has done some really great investigative reporting on the impacts of Trump's retribution campaigns
Reuters reached out to everyone that Trump or his subordinates singled out publicly for retribution, and reviewed hundreds of official orders, directives and public records. The result: the most comprehensive accounting yet of his campaign of payback.

He wasn't embarrassed in the slightest.
Just LOOK at that body language.
That's a whole different (evil AF) vibe altogether.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

The Trump regime is declaring that funding for the CFPB is illegal.

Remember: This is the agency that protects Americans from financial predators.

Anti-CFPB oligarchs, who spent millions to re-elect Trump, will now have an easier time padding their pockets by ripping you off.

Khanna: And then it’s awfully convenient that those eight senators happen to be the ones who aren’t up in 2026—and they’re all consulting Schumer. People are sick of this. That’s why I called on Schumer to step down.

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office.

If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.
