Republicans control all 3 branches of the government and claim they’re leading us into a β€œGolden Age.” But they can’t figure out how to end a government shutdown, and they want us to blame the party that controls exactly zero branches of government.

yo, even John Yoo thinks that this shit is illegal www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
As an official in the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel, I was at my desk on Sept. 11, 2001. I advised that the U.S. could wage war against al-Qaeda without blurring the distinction between crime and war. After 9/11, the U.S. declared that it would wage war for the first time against an organization, rather than a nation. But the drug cartels alone do not present a similar challenge that rises to the level of war.

I think it's time that California started withholding money to the federal government. You know dang well they pay more in than they get back.

$170B for ICE and Border Patrol
$40B for Argentina
$1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet
$230M for Trump's DOJ "compensation"
$200M for Kristi Noem's jets
$98M for Trump's golf outings

But no money to lower your healthcare costs.

Leftwinger Catherine Connolly wins Ireland presidential election by landslide. Her platform fused economic justice, housing reform, and principled foreign policy (especially on Gaza) a rare mix for an Irish presidential candidate. Good to see this!

Working for ICE isn’t about a paycheck. The entire force needs removed from the streets, brought to justice, and their operation abolished.

Donald Trump is telling his DOJ to prosecute people involved in defeating him in 2020. He will claim the 2025 California referendum was fraudulent. He is going to try to impose voter ID and ban mail-in and early voting for 2026.

I will do everything I can in the courtroom and in public to stop him.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

"One detained woman, identified as Marie, said officials did not believe her when she informed them of her pregnancy, and held her in solitary confinement for at least three days."

No one should be treated like this. ICE must release all pregnant people in their custody, immediately.
