This is the reality inside ICE detention centers. Children are being forced into jail-like conditions while this Administration strips away their basic human rights. We cannot allow this stand. We must hold this inhumane Administration accountable!
The Big Ugly Bill, passed by Republicans slashes Medicare by over 500 billion dollars starting January 1. Seniors, veterans, disabled people - all pay the price for billionaire tax cuts. Its past time to vote Trump’s Republican enablers in Congress out of office in November. #RepublicanMedicareCuts
Phang: "Capital One said, 'We don't want the business anymore of the 45th president of the United States, his businesses, his failed sons, and his revocable trust.' So you can imagine -- I am just hypothesizing... but it suggests whatever Capital One uncovered was pretty bad. Makes you wonder..."
Gill: All 100 senators last week passed a non-binding resolution condemning any pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. They're simultaneously considering confirming the guy who met with her and moved her to a low-security facility as the top cop in the United States. That is so insane to me.
Michael Popok on Todd Blanche's tax relief scheme for the Trump family: "How can you settle a case and have a super pardon for Donald Trump when the underlying case was illegitimate?"
NEW: After losing 20 consecutive lawsuits seeking states’ voter rolls, DOJ conceded that its case against Washington is no different from the others — but still urged another court to embrace the sweeping legal theory rejected by every court to consider it. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Actually disgusting that nurses were treated like utter shit, overworked and dying during the pandemic and now RFK is on TV telling everyone that didn't happen. I can't even imagine a more thankless, hostile job right now.
I am thinking the finding of the God particle (Higss Boson) caused a temporal Rift and changed our timeline in favor of filling the swamp. This alternate reality needs to be corrected and perhaps only the flux capacitor can get us back to the future! #Blues

Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 2d agoThe most corrupt, unethical AG in the US history will now take office after a sham deal with retiring Republican senators. Now this lawless DOJ will run amok with Trump’s criminal defense attorney carrying out his retribution tour against the innocent while the guilty go free.

ICE IS KILLING PEOPLE IN THE SHADOWS. Prisciliano Trejo Ricano begged for a doctor. He became the 50th person to die in ICE custody. Anne Frank wasn’t shot; she died of neglect in a camp. ICE uses the same playbook: murder by medical neglect. ICE DETENTION CENTERS ARE DEATH CAMPS.

The whole point of the Bill of Rights is to protect the only true minority - the individual. It limits the governments power to harm the individual. The whole constitution is designed to limit the governments power.
Fetterman is telling us exactly what he plans to do Telling us to expect him to switch parties in the 120th Congress Take this seriously Get out there Elect Dems in all 35 Senate races We need a Dem Senate majority large enough to make his inevitable party switch immaterial

Oops. DOJ drops reflecting pool case against the former Olympian after admitting in court the damage was the result of a botched installation and not vandalism as initially represented. An abrupt end to a trial that was plagued with prosecutorial missteps. www.rawstory.com/reflecting-p...

BREAKING: The DOJ just threw Trump under the bus and admitted he lied about the vandalism at the reflecting pool. Jeanine Pirro may lose her license. Trump could face impeachment over this. Easily one of the greatest abuses of power we've ever seen. I need you to read this motion with me!!

Even for a regime with more scandals than you can count, this ranks near the top as one of the most egregious and criminal abuses of presidential power in history.
Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 5d agoSo many sneering elitist journalists with snarky posts over the past months that the Reflecting Pool story was trivial. It was so trivial that the DC US Attny presented false evidence to a grand jury to indict an innocent man to please the President while they both lied about it.
No one can ever believe anything Trump pledges, says or puts in writing. With Trump, a deal is never a deal and nobody can count on the US for anything while he’s president. His word is garbage, agreements mean nothing, and he lies about everything.
Every other day, 83-year-old Marilyn Tewa of the Hopi Tribe loads buckets into her pickup and drives 5 miles to haul water. “That’s what keeps us alive,” Tewa said. Four states stand in the way of a deal to give her community water.
Native American Tribes Came Together to Secure Their Rights to Colorado River Water. Four States Are Stalling the Deal.
Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming are resisting the deal because it would allow the Navajo and Hopi to lease water to cities downstream, likely the growing towns around Phoenix.
