. @Lawrence One of my ancestors was in the Missouri militia allied with the Union Army in the Civil War. He was shot in the temple, badly wounded. He was unconscious, which saved his life, because Confederates killed the wounded. This was a despicable act now known as a Hegseth.
I can’t believe @CNBC hosts are so supportive of troops in U.S. cities. That Benioff segment of apology was bizarre. They should report the news but keep their love of Trump’s war on cities to themselves.

Is JD Vance a liar or just woefully ignorant when claiming that Democrats want to give health benefits to undocumented immigrants?

How out of touch can Donald Trump’s top economic adviser be?
A 60-year-old couple making $85k/year will have to pay over $22,000 more EVERY YEAR.
TWENTY TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS.
Q: There will undoubtedly be some economic impact if the health care premiums skyrocket. How do you view the economic impact?
Hassett: We'll just have to wait and see what happens at the negotiation
Q: It's a 75% or more increase on premiums
Hassett: But the 75% is off of a really low number. The question is how much smaller the subsidies should be

Laughing in front of cages designed to hold migrants and refugees, many of whom came to this country fleeing extreme violence and poverty, and hoping to raise their children in a more compassionate country. And many of whom followed all the legal procedures to enter the country. And remember, 93% have no record of any violent crimes. This facility, then, is comparable to the internment camps for Japanese Americans during the Second World War. But let's call it what it is: a concentration camp. Jesus wept.

The number of manifestly psychologically unwell people in the highest levels of this administration should be unsettling to the world.

Be warned: Trump will likely use his war with Iran as a pretext to further suppress dissent at home.
We must resist his efforts to stifle freedom of speech, make warrantless searches and arrests of Americans, and put more military onto our streets.

📺 ICE’s acting director says he’s demanding Americans stop criticizing ICE.
Let’s be very clear:
The First Amendment doesn’t ask for permission; it guarantees it.
You don’t get to run a federal agency, carry out mass raids, detain families, and then whine about public outrage.
If you don’t want political backlash,
maybe stop doing things that provoke it.
This is a democracy, not a dictatorship.

This is oligarchy. This is obscene.
While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%.
End this oligarchy.

Cowards and liars.
ICE agents are masked thugs acting like 7-11 robbers. We have descended into the fascist dictatorship that Trump wanted. @ICEgov agents are Nazis, pure and simple. We are betrayed and America is doomed. They will come and beat you soon.
