Folks from the Women's March have been arrested at the Capitol for protesting ICE. Shout out to the women who are putting their lives and livelihoods on the line to get their message out: ABOLISH ICE.

El-Sayed: "Once a government agency like ICE is told it has impunity to do the worst things and violate the highest law of the land, which is the Constitution itself, I don't think you can reform or retrain. I think we need to start from scratch ... I think we need to abolish it."

Dr. Oz just said it out loud…

Always blaming someone else!

FYI: Blanche rescinded the ORDER establishing the slush fund, not the underlying “settlement.” The settlement says any changes must be agreed to by ALL parties, not just Todd. This “rescission” isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.

Hey, get in line behind *millions* of people, including Native Americans driven from their land and slaughtered, kidnapped Africans who were enslaved and lynched, women treated like property, LGBTQ people demeaned and treated like they didn’t matter, you crybaby, self-indulgent loser.

I love this. Every blue state should be doing everything in its power to max out the vote.

This raises the question of whether Todd Blanche knew Trump intended to appeal-and was therefore lying to Congress when he testified about it But the more troubling issue is, if the Acting Attorney General committed perjury, who will prosecute him And can you impeach an interim AG

Trump confirmed today that he will appeal the ruling from a federal judge in Florida who found the president effectively colluded with his own government in bringing a $10 billion suit against the IRS. Trump has no intention of dropping the IRS slush fund which doesn't look good for Todd Blanche.

The Trump administration has granted more than 180 polluting facilities nationwide a two-year pause on compliance with Clean Air Act rules. All they had to do was send an email. (Published May)

Discussing the Pax Silica project led by Trump official Jacob Helberg (a Palantir alum), Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale says a “free economic zone” “makes sense for PHILIPPINES,” he hopes for one in EUROPE, & he “hear[s] maybe something w/ ISRAEL.” Helberg: “WE WANT…ONE IN EVERY HEMISPHERE…” 1/

Oh no, not the powice!?! Who apparently don’t know what malware is! 😂

When Todd Blanche promised the American people that Trump’s $1.8B insurrectionist slush fund was dead but he refused to put it in writing, it was obvious he was lying.

Todd Blanche, 2 weeks ago: “There is no weaponization fund. The weaponization fund is dead.” Donald Trump today: Gimme my weaponization fund. ⤵️

The State Department said ​it takes "full responsibility" for "hastily" altering and then presenting a map of Africa at a global AIDS conference that mislabeled every single country it highlighted. An analysis by Reuters found a watermark in the map image that suggests it was made with OpenAI.

Blanche DOJ got the unredacted Epstine Files to the judge only moments before the deadline to expire. It's going to take the judge a while to go through everything but it's going to be interesting what the judge is going to do & say once he is done.
