Trump is DOUBLING the amount of the Argentina bailout, to $40 billion. Nothing's been done to lower your cost of living right here, in America. America last.

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

Months before catastrophic floods swept through an Alaska Native village on Sunday, the Trump administration canceled a $20 million grant meant to protect the community from extreme flooding. At the time, the EPA administrator said he was eliminating "wasteful DEI and Environmental Justice grants."

E.P.A. Canceled $20 Million Flood Protection Grant to Alaska, Parts of Which Just Flooded

The remote village of Kipnuk planned to use the money to protect against flooding. On Sunday, it was inundated.

A typhoon just wiped out Indigenous villages in Alaska.
Lives lost. Families displaced. Homes gone.

While billionaires build rockets and Congress guts NOAA and FEMA, the National Guard patrols cities that don’t need them.

Indigenous people deserve protection, not abandonment.

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.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

He is a clown. A completely unserious moron who is the most inept secretary of defense this country has ever had. He belongs on trial at The Hague, not strolling those halls like he is of any relevance.

Here’s the deal, Mike Johnson, you worked 9 days since July, make $200K, and get best free healthcare we pay for, while shutting down ours.

Want it fair? Start with your paychecks. No work, no pay and no damn free healthcare for any of you. Let Congress feel the pain they dump on the rest of us.

I'm disgusted with what most of American policing is doing right now. But there are still good departments/officers out there that gives me hope. There are those of us who are quietly throwing a wrench in this fucked up system. We see the wrongs. We are trying.

No police officer should feel this is their duty or that this is okay. It is not. It goes against the oath any officer took.

I say that as a member of law enforcement.

A mom in Houston reported her 15-year-old son with autism missing. She spent 6 days terrified, searching for him. The whole time, Houston police knew exactly where he was since they helped ICE place him in a refugee facility.

This is beyond cruel.

He is currently being held at an Office for Refugee Resettlement facility.
