Wasn't "Twisp" one of those weird sugary cereals in the 80s? Alien mascot, I think?

Bad day to wear your inflatable rodent suit! 😬

I saw a clip of one doing a flyby at a protest in Pennsylvania today as well.

I'd like to see the Venn diagram of people in frog costumes in NYC and speaking roles on a "Law & Order" franchise show. 🤔

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.

White words on a black background read:

50+
Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino.

~130
Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers.

~20
Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

...but that would mean no more heartwarming local news stories about the 12 year old who sold a kidney to help pay for his sister's chemotherapy! 🤔

I thought you only rated dogs?

That's clearly a gremlin!

All policy discussions in the US are mediated by celebrity worship or gossip, as the founders intended! 🧐

I was replying to Democratic Party bullshit talking points about them fighting for health "care" when it's "private insurance" they're fighting for.

Won't stop Cuomo from getting handsy. He's Italian, not a vampire.

The Democrats are doing fuck all to make "health care more affordable". They're trying to continue the ACA status quo - subsidies in the *insurance* markets.

People who have health insurance have been bankrupted in the USA before the shutdown.
