I had assumed the headline was a joke. But no.

Pete Hegseth Blew Billions on Fruit Basket Stands, Chairs, and Crab The Defense Department went on a $93 billion spending spree in 2025.

Kristi Noem spent 220 million on her self-promotion ad and Hegseth said, "Hold my fruit basket."

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

WTF?????

“When Citizens United was decided in 2010, billionaires had spent $18 million on the 2000 election, $13M 2004 and $16M in 2008. Then came the deluge. In 2012 it was $231M, and nearly doubled again in next three election cycles —to $682M in 2016, $1.2 billion in 2020 and $2.6 billion in 2024.” Gift:

The WaPo reporter whose house was raided and phone was seized by DOJ had developed well over a thousand confidential sources inside a variety of government agencies.

Know what’s fucking insane?

Our NATO allies are sending troops to Greenland to defend against a possible US invasion.

I know this administration doesn’t understand anything about anything, but the US is not self-sufficient enough to thrive in an interconnected world on our own.

Did he go to the doctor who “treated” Trump’s ear?

ICE abducted and injured (bruised cheek) a 1-year old who is the daughter of a US citizen detained as part of a Kavanaugh Stop.

Inside Minneapolis’s Sprawling Network of ICE Watchers Renee Nicole Good lived in a community where residents by the thousands are using text alerts, whistles and Google documents to shadow federal agents

"At schools, volunteers are forming human chains as students and employees enter and leave, with whistles to blow if ICE shows up.

Volunteers—many of them moms already involved at their schools—divvy up tasks, such as delivering groceries to immigrant families..."

​”You can't protest in a way that offends the right.

You can't teach things that the right doesn't want you to teach.

You can't read things that they don't want you to read.

You can't use words that they don't want you to use but they love free speech.”

The most enlightening and disappointing thing to come out of this ICE shooting is that the right legitimately does not give a fuck about human life if it harms their political narrative.

Watching people malign a 37 year old mother for being murdered by her country is insane.

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

“DHS LEOs should
also avoid intentionally and unreasonably placing themselves in positions in which they
have no alternative to using deadly force.”

In other words, get the fuck out from in front of the car.

ICE’s Use of Force policy states officers may not:

1) Fire solely to stop a fleeing vehicle
2) Fire at a vehicle just because it is being used to flee arrest
3) Fire to disable a vehicle (e.g., tires, engine)
4) Fire if safe alternatives exist (stepping aside, cover)

this was a really powerful approach to questioning noem—bringing the actual people impacted by her reign of terror. from her perch it's easy to see these cases as abstractions but she needs to be confronted with them at every turn.

This is so gross.

US citizen, 67, ‘has six ribs broken’ by Border Patrol agents, his running club says The incident unfolded Saturday in Chicago’s Old Irving Park neighborhood, where residents say federal agents disrupted a children’s Halloween parade

"According to his running club, the man, who is a U.S. citizen, was returning from a team run when agents pulled him out of his vehicle, tackled him to the ground and kneeled on top of him, allegedly breaking six ribs and causing internal bleeding"

This was always the plan.

Project 2025 was Donald Trump's blueprint to seize unchecked power within the federal government and restrict Americans' freedoms. And he is implementing it right in front of our eyes.

Big sigh. Watch this.

Can you see why the Yankees’ moment of silence, the lowered flags, the promise of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, feel like a gut punch to the very people he spent years targeting?

No one wished death on this man, but what we’re seeing right now is too f*cking much.

And she also propped up James Arthur Ray - The Sedona Sweat Lodge “self-help” guru convicted of 3 negligent homicides.

I’ll say it again: It was a huge mistake for Congress to abolish itself.

Make pesto!
