All this political divide. Maybe we can bring everyone together with a nice motivational chant. How about
Victims speaking today. Pam Bondi needs step down from the Doj and turn herself in at this point.
Rep. Robert Garcia: "Donald Trump has the power right now to release all of the epstein files and documents right now. The DOJ is refusing to release the documents that have been subpoenaed. There is a massive coverup at the highest level."
Okay hear me out. Trump has his head shaved for surgery at Walter Reed. They're trying to keep this secret. The black bag thrown out of the WH window was his shaved hair.... I could be wrong.
How many days after shaking Putin's hand did it take for the mysterious bruise to appear on Trump? Did Putin assassinate Trump?
Hey looks like someone actually hired a clown for Trumps party. Not sure why it went with all orange face paint.
Sickening!!! This is why everyone needs to join the protests on Saturday. It will keep getting worse if we don’t #Pinks
BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.
The only reason prisons are able to pay incarcerated individuals less than minimum wage is because the 13 amendment exempts punishment in prison from the prohibition on slavery. They're legal slaves. That doesn't apply to civil detention for immigration. It's blatantly unconstitutional.
Take a listen and seriously consider it. While this is not an uncommon practice, I am glad people are beginning to speak up about it.
🚨Trump crawled back to Capitol Hill to push his One Big Billionaire Bill—slashing Medicaid so the ultra-wealthy get another tax break. Republicans are holding a hearing at 1am because they know they’re hurting working families and don’t want you to pay attention! Speak up! Drop a follow & share!
HASSAN: What is habeas corpus? NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country HASSAN: That's incorrect
MAKE NOISE ON THIS ONE‼️ They didn’t just deport him—they sent him to CECOT in El Salvador. Agelviz came here legally through the refugee resettlement program—fully vetted. But when he landed in Houston, CBP snatched him over a tattoo: a clock and a rose. No charges. No record. Just a suspicion.
This is absolutely incredible -- Kristi Noem repeatedly refuses to acknowledge that Trump brandished an doctored image of Abrego Garcia's tattoos, prompting Eric Swalwell to have a staffer of his brandish an image of them right in her face. Totally dystopian.
MURRAY: It was due last week. By law. PATEL: I understand. MURRAY: You're not gonna follow the law? ... And you have no timeline? PATEL: No MURRAY: Hmm. We're not having a budget hearing without a budget request. So where is it?
Jobs growth was still solid in April. Not much evidence of negative tariff impacts yet as tariff announcements on Apr 2 gave little time for employers to respond before the survey reference period. Manufacturing did shrink slightly (-1,000), but is volatile month-to-month. 3/
Federal government employment is down by 26,000 since January -- a very clear DOGE effect, but nowhere close to the hundreds of thousand of job cuts we've heard about. Many of those workers are still on payroll, though, and therefore are still counted in the jobs numbers.

“.. judging only from price action, we are suddenly witnessing a comprehensive turn away from US assets (stocks, USTs, corporate credit and the dollar). this is the single most important theme to monitor over coming weeks. .. for the moment capital is flowing out of the US.” - GS Desk/Pasquariello
AOC and Bernie in LA. 35K. Give me this energy and enthusiasm over a performative 25 hour monologue in front of an empty Senate chamber any day. Fight!
