Noem Plots Reality Show Where Migrants Fight for Citizenship
A Homeland Security official told the Daily Beast that the show is in the early stages of vetting, though approval has not been given—or denied.

What kind of monsters would take little ones' parents away & provide no assistance for the children left behind?
Nazis did this during the Holocaust. Consider reading The Light of Days by Judy Batalion so you see how this parallels WWII.😭🤬😱
Alert ⚠️
We only have democracy if there is due process, rule of law, justice, freedom & civil rights. Otherwise, we have autocracy.
This administration is IGNORING A SUPREME COURT RULING!
I repeat: they're ignoring a SCOTUS ruling!
We ARE in a Constitutional crisis & it should be headline news!
We just got a letter from our healthcare company denying coverage for my wife's recent 48 hours in the hospital because they have decided that it was "not medically necessary."
She was in the hospital giving birth.

Democratic Senators Booker, Smith, and Schatz crash the House markup in protest of Medicaid cuts…

According to the CDC, there were 30,000 fewer drug overdose deaths in the U.S. in 2024 than in 2023.

Bravo, Biden!!!!
But somehow Donald Trump is gonna try and take credit for this, isn’t he?

If the Trump admin's allegations of gang activity and terrorism against Abrego Garcia were true, it would have no trouble prosecuting or deporting him legally. So why don't they? One reason might be that none of the evidence offered so far would hold up in court

Due Process Is a Right, Not a Privilege You Get for Being Good
If Kilmar Abrego Garcia is guilty of the crimes he is accused of, then the Trump administration could simply follow the law. Why won’t it?

He's been doing this shit since the 70s. Back then the best he could do was not rent to those he didn't like. Now he's actually deporting people of color while importing whites. Government facilitated ethnic cleansing.
Trump’s brand has become so politically poisonous that the Republican Mayor of Omaha lost her race for a fourth term, simply because she had endorsed him in 2024. 100 days in and the voters have already had enough.
Justice Souter taught his law clerks and all whom he encountered “the most important lesson a young lawyer can be taught: the value of caring for others, the wisdom in slowing down to get the law right, and the incredible power when those two forces are combined.”

@andybeshearky.bsky.social just exposed the KY GOP’s plan: gut Medicaid and abandon rural Kentucky.
With half of Kentucky's kids covered and special needs children relying on these services for critical care, these cuts aren't just wrong — they're cruel.
Before Trump began this week’s visit to the Middle East, his sons Eric and Donald Jr. had already traveled there extensively in recent weeks, drumming up business for The Trump Organization and to scoop up the money that Donald throws them thru the power of the presidency.

America is his personal piggy bank and play thing.

Criticism of the judiciary is fair game. But threats against judges, even if, as an institution, they have the will to withstand them, are not.

Great Replacement Theory in action…
On day one, Donald Trump suspended the refugee settlement admissions program. But now he’s giving white Afrikaners U.S. citizenship because they “could be assimilated easily into our country”?
This isn’t a dog whistle—it’s a freaking bullhorn!
