“Meaningful work”? Like what? Lining up their next lobbying gigs? 🙄 Why are we still paying these clowns? AND giving them free healthcare? 🤡😡

This is quite a video. Locals screaming “get out of here you fucking Nazis” at armed ICE agents who hop in their car and quickly drive away.

ICE is doing real harm, but it is also far far FAR weaker—and more deeply hated—than Stephen Miller wishes, and its weakness is really showing.

"For Comcast and its chairman Brian Roberts, it marks a moment of corporate humiliation, being publicly shamed on his own air for deference to Trump, the same vengeful president who has repeatedly targeted Roberts by name," @passantino.bsky.social writes. www.status.news/p/funding-tr...

Comcast’s Ballroom Dance

Donald Trump has spent years mocking Comcast chief Brian Roberts as a “lowlife”—now Roberts is helping fund Trump’s new White House ballroom, a move that’s left some of his own journalists mortified.

There’s $5 billion sitting in SNAP reserves right now. The money’s there.

The Administration just decided feeding families matters less than bailing out Argentina.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.
