Trump’s Deportations Are Ripping Mothers from Their Babies The president’s immigration policy is “beyond inhumane.”

Earlier this year, JD Vance told us that Donald Trump was “the most pro-family, most pro-life American president of our lifetimes.” Yeah, about that. ICYMI @monacharen.bsky.social: lnk.thebulwark.com/3Yl0Tqn

The Center for Biological Diversity is suing the Trump administration to have Trump's face removed from national parks passes. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

BREAKING:

The Indiana Senate just REJECTED the gerrymandered congressional map that Trump and his allies pressured Republicans to support.

The GOP-controlled chamber voted down the map, 31-19.

😕

Is this actually happening now!!? Why is the United States putting our troops in danger to seize a foreign oil tanker? The cosplay administration needs to go. The chaos and mismanagement is over the top.

DHS inks contract to create its own fleet of 737 jets for deportations The agency will spend nearly $140 million to buy the planes, funding that comes from a massive budget increase for immigration enforcement approved by Congress.

$140 million of our tax payer dollars spent on this cruelty.

The GOP’s War on Civil Service: A Rejection of Its Own History A look at how Garfield’s murder and Arthur’s unexpected courage created modern civil service protections—and why today’s GOP is trying to dismantle them.

James Garfield was murdered by a man who thought he deserved a government job. Chester Arthur—once a machine politician—responded by helping create civil service reform.

Today’s GOP wants to undo that progress and return to patronage politics.

Trump’s Dehumanization Campaign Is Becoming Normalized A president who calls immigrants “garbage” is dangerous enough. A country that grows desensitized to it is even more frightening.

Trump calls Somali immigrants “garbage.” His VP cheers him on. Meanwhile, families are being torn apart, asylum is being shut down, aid is being gutted, and the military is firing on survivors in the water.

Cruelty is becoming national policy—silence is complicity.

Girl. Put on your clothes.

If you get a high score of One Trillion Dollars…you should be congratulated, the credits should roll, and the game announces there is nothing more, and you die.

@marcelias.bsky.social is the only man right now working 24-7 in the courts to protect American democracy. Dictatorship is knocking. The 2026 and 2028 elections are being decided every day through the court cases he’s handling NOW. FOLLOW HIM.

Kash Patel ordered FBI detail to give girlfriend’s pal a lift home: sources FBI agents have grown increasingly concerned by Patel’s use of the bureau’s strapped resource.

MS NOW Exclusive:

FBI Director Kash Patel has — on more than one occasion — ordered that the security detail protecting his girlfriend escort one of her allegedly inebriated friends home after a night of partying in Nashville, according to three people with knowledge of the incidents.

Reminder about Jan 6:

it really happened
It was a horror
140+ police were injured
A range of violent weapons were used by attackers
Chants to hang Mike Pence were heard
There was a gallows and guns
Pipe bombs diverted police as mob approached

If only there had been signs that a group of below average men who espouse misogynist views and are led by an adjudicated rapist would treat their female colleagues poorly.

Matt Gaetz, James O’Keefe, and Laura Loomer have replaced the Pentagon press corps.

I am not kidding. Look at the thread below.

One of the military’s most critical lines of accountability is now a closed-circuit conspiracy carousel.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

I might! (ROC native, power user)

Trump just said the word ‘affordability' is a "Democrat scam."
