I am not trans. Trans rights are not optional. If we’re trading people for power then burn this place down. Don't be boring if other options are on the table.

I just found out last night that the $50k enrollment bonus only pays out after 5 years of service, and reader, the laugh I let out when I read that woke the dog from across the house. These absolute fucking grapes aren't seeing a dime of that money. No way they can ride out 5 years of this job.
ICE recruitment is going well.

if you want to know what it is like in minneapolis, I don’t even have to scroll on facebook to find a horror story. it’s basically my whole feed.
everyone i know in minneapolis is seeing ICE take people—at gas stations, taquerias, bus stops, schools. just snatching random people.

Someone just DM’d me to tell me that using profanity in my handle “cheapens my argument.”
They are probably just under a lot of stress, things are tough at CNN.

I don't think Walz is likely to deploy NG on ICE officers. That's a fair criticism. But from a practical standpoint it has also injected that idea into the public discourse as something acceptable and necessary for Serious Democrats to consider. This is probably useful.

Maybe 20 armed DHS goons descended on the Uptown McDonald’s to abduct one poor woman, causing absolute chaos as the entire neighborhood rushed in to shout and throw snowballs. Why are we doing this, it’s insane

The latest HR nonsense: A gay man in Utah attends a watch party for the gay hockey show wearing a “Gay AF” t-shirt & is forced to leave the bar because multiple women complained to management about the presence of a man who they feared might get turned on by the TV show.

AI memory is sold out, causing an unprecedented surge in prices

Make no mistake what this is: a deliberate effort to make SNAP benefits harder to use.
There are a million ways to improve access to healthy foods; this isn't one of them, this is a penalty aimed solely at stores which accept EBT cards.

RFK Jr: "One of the things we're doing is Brooke Rollins is requiring that any facility, and store that accepts food stamps will have to double the amount of whole food that is now available to recipients. So that will change the marketplace around the country."

ICE is engaged in a domestic war against Minneapolis. They have thousands of agents there outnumberring local police 5:1. They're pulling and person of color they see and abducting them. This is an ethnic cleansing campaign right out in the open and local political leaders and the media are silent.

Tapper did a great job here. Combining footage with follow up questions that directly debunk her lies, outright calling her claim not true, and highlighting her hypocrisy is how it’s done.

Tapper to Noem: "I just showed you video of people attacking law enforcement officers on J6. Trump pardoned them all. You said Trump is enforcing all the laws equally. That's just not true. There's a different standard for LEOs being attacked if they're being attacked by Trump supporters."

Chris Murphy: "The amount of training that's given to an ICE officer has been cut in half by this administration. The number of days of training they get are 47. You know why they get 47 days? As an homage to the vanity of POTUS. No wonder the number of violent incidents are going through the roof."
