Jeannie Pirro is now seeking to dismiss charges against ex olympian David Hearn for causing damage to the reflecting pool. The grand jury said he didn't do any damage to the pool, also the Dept. of Interior was forced to admit shoddy workmanship. Do taxpayers get a refund for trump's scam?
If you want to know more about how *legal* immigration for farm workers can actually make them *more* vulnerable to exploitation, abuse, & even trafficking, this linked article from cdmigrante.org is GREAT.
@digitaldesert.bsky.social · 6d agoGood thread on how the government’s H2A program turned migrant farmworkers into little more than trafficked slaves, the 2024 reforms that mitigated the abuse, and last year’s Trump directive(see below) that stripped away those reforms. cdmigrante.org/trump-dol-ro...
We identified a network of at least 10 political nonprofits that raised more than $33M on the promise of supporting admirable causes, but that spent little on activities that could be construed as having a political purpose. (Published June 2024)

Trump says the $13 billion earned from Venezuela oil revenue belongs to the U.S. and is “running the country.” Only $300 million has been transferred to the Venezuelan government. As for the remaining $12.7 billion, there are no official reports where that money is or what it is being used for.

Stephen Miller said just the other day that all asylum claims are "fake." A couple deported from the U.S. to Guatemala were gagged, bound, and shot dead. Their 14-month old found crying next to their mother's body. People like Miller don't care though because this is the point: ethnic cleansing.
Overland couple shot dead in Guatemala after local ICE stop led to deportations
The couple’s 14-month-old daughter was found crying beside her mother’s body in a sugarcane field last week, according to Guatemalan authorities and media.

Hunting, kidnapping, and incarcerating vulnerable people to feed the for-profit prison system and the fragile egos of chauvinist bigots who have no shame.

Don Jr.’s firm jumping from $200M to $3B in assets since Trump retook office isn’t a sudden burst of business acumen The American people deserve answers I explain on @ms.now w/ @nicollewallace.bsky.social👇
Why does ICE waste resources targeting working families and parents instead of dismantling violent cartels and gangs? Because easy targets drive political fear-mongering, while real law enforcement takes actual work.

Let me get this straight... Trump is blocking $1B in Medicaid payments to blue states over spurious accusations of mass fraud. Meanwhile, he's literally pardoned over 70 convicted fraudsters — including a nursing home owner who stole over $1.3B from Medicare and Medicaid. Hello?
I took a hard look at the financial donors to ICE’s biggest supporters in Congress. These are people who want to significantly expand ICE’s power and have sponsored or co-sponsored legislation to do so. Here are the top 25 consumer brands bankrolling the biggest ICE supporters in Congress:
The Pentagon's last major briefing on the Republican Party's illegal war with Iran was in early May. They think the American public has no right to know what's going on despite at least 17 U.S. soldiers killed and 400+ wounded, plus $100 billion in our tax dollars spent.
LEFT: Canadians helping by dropping water on United States fires. RIGHT: Ungrateful United States bitch complaining about Canadian fires.
When we have fires in the US, Canada sent help. When Canada has fires, Trump threatens them with tariffs. What an asshole.

Americans hold $500 billion in medical debt, burdened by the most challenging crises in their lives. We used to have consumer protections to relieve that burden—until CFPB Director Vought rescinded them. His legacy will be one of hurt & harm. The people deserve better.
When federal agents interfere with people's First Amendment right to record ICE's brutality, they should be able to sue. Take action at aclu.org/right_to-record- urging Congress to pass this vital legislation and defend our right to hold our government accountable.
