Hakeem thinking "wait until everybody sees me win the debate match, they'll respect me then!" instead of demanding Johnson swear in the new Dem just showing again where his head is and how woefully inadequate he is to leadership.

Apparently $20B of our taxpayer money wasn't enough to bail out Argentina.

Now Trump wants U.S. banks to divert ANOTHER $20B away from lending to American businesses, farmers, and families to prop up Milei's corrupt presidency and failing economy.

So much for America First.

Until at least 2010 because that's how I would pay for all delivery meals. Pizza, Chinese, you'd make sure you had enough cash before calling in the order, because you'd tell the delivery person to keep the change as tip.

Old one also just has a lot more meat on him generally. Look at that haunch, you can slow roast that thing and host Sunday dinner. New one just has belly bloat and is gonna be like trying to fill up on a gopher.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

at what point does fighting against the violent kidnapping and disappearing of your neighbors become just a goofy dance party?

it becomes a non-tactic—a shiny object pulling focus—when people mount lots of justifications to do this while avoiding doing ICE watches or KYR distros or info sharing.

this is where movements become moments & die: people see the display of a radical tactic and, not comprehending the tactical purpose, adopt only the display as an echo of the fight.

it becomes an empty, consumerist meme: buy an inflatable and dance around and that’s how you fight ICE!

Australia's only native shrew has been declared extinct.

This extinction is not just a statistic: it’s the silencing of a species, a permanent erasure of unique evolutionary history.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers are using a full-body restraint device called the WRAP during deportation flights. The AP spoke to a number of people who said they were placed in the device after they had already been shackled.

FOX: You said last week that you would swear in Grijalva whenever she wants. She has written a letter to your office. You have not sworn her in. Doesn't your resistance add fuel to the fire that this is about Epstein?

MIKE JOHNSON: No. This is another partisan manufactured thing

A lot of people wonder how companies like IBM, Ford, Coca Cola, and General Electric got away with supporting Nazi Germany in their genocidal war.

This is how. Companies have always taken profits, wherever it comes from, no matter what atrocities they are enabling. Fascism is built on corporations.

Thank you for holding firm on this and not caving. The fact they keep claiming the minority party is at fault for a shutdown shows how bad they are at governance. I have Bipartisan feels like a fantasy when reality shows them propping up their Mad Toddler-King. Please. Don't. Give in. Not an inch.

ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the 94 million pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the #Trump administration’s cuts to The Emergency Food Assistance Program.
