Search-and-rescue crews were “flying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week.

Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool.

But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.

If Republicans made it easy and free to obtain suitable ID, it would be one thing. As it is Republican voter suppression also includes widespread efforts to make it much harder, more time-consuming, and more expensive to obtain ID.

Dick Durben “ICE must be reformed”

Darryl Ayo “indeed. Reforms in two steps. Step one: eliminate the agency entirely. Step two: prosecute all violations of civil rights and constitutional law”

I see people making the point that if this keeps going, we won't have a nation.

But if we have a system incapable of bringing criminals to justice for their criminal acts, without fear or favor, then we ALREADY don't have a nation.

Johnson: I think what we are learning from the Epstein files was a well-coordinated act of treason. If you think about how they use blackmail to get policymakers to act outside of the best interests of this nation and our Constitution, that’s treason.

What worries me is that I am not hearing enough talk about the Epsteins files.

Imagine starting a war and killing innocent civilians over an assumption and rumors, but there is hard proof of sexual predators, and not one person has been apprehended — America.

The White House put out a series of hype videos about the war. Some have been defending it by saying military members themselves share these kinds of videos.

This is true. But they aren’t the White House. The WH is a bunch of children, and have no sobriety about the serious business of war.

This guy should sign up to go fight in Iran.

Their guy said he'd pardon the J6 insurrectionists--and then shockingly did it.

I haven't heard any potential Democratic candidate promise to pardon everybody arrested for protesting ICE.

That'd go a long way toward showing me they're opposition and not just controlled.

White House: the witness’s allegations are “completely baseless” and “backed by zero credible evidence.”

Fact: FBI found her credible enough to interview repeatedly, and she received a financial settlement from the Epstein estate.

I just want to go on record and say that you people are crazy if you think only 6 American soldiers have died in this conflict. It's pointless to expect the truth from mainstream media about anything much less this war of preference/choice.
America is not angry enough yet for me.

Why was this story on the front page of the UK’s Daily Telegraph — but NOT America’s leading newspapers?

Scottish Opera offers hugely discounted tickets to people under the age of 26. In fact most of the theatres here do, usually for around £10. Which means you could see a whole live show for less than the cost of a ticket to one of Timothee Chalamet’s films. Just saying.

The war on Iran is unfolding alongside a wave of mass layoffs in the US. These are not separate crises. They are two sides of the same offensive by the ruling class against the working class.

Fun fact: U.S. taxpayers just spent $280 million on ICE raids in Minnesota. Out of 4,000 people detained, only 30 were accused of violent crimes.

That’s about $9.3 million per violent arrest. 👇🏾

On NJ Transit on the way home and the train just died.

Just another day/reminder of how “the richest and most powerful nation in the world” cannot do mass transit.

We can afford a war and build concentration camps, but not mass transit.

Don't listen to or believe any polls.

Vote early.
Get your friends to vote early.

Cause SCOTUS is going to be up to some bullshit.

Breaking news; New evidence shows that it was a USA bomb that blew up the school with upto 200 little girls. Motive not known yet. In Iran some people are saying the Epstein Class hates little girls they are either sexually abuses or killed.

Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy.

What's required is investment in working people — and better wages.

When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.

Remember this.

Most of the media is demanding that everybody supports the war effort. Well, sod that. This is an illegal conflict, launched by a decrepit American to distract from his domestic problems, which has already killed hundreds of women and children. I didn’t back the Iraq war in 2003. Nor this one!

I love my iced coffee every morning. (homemade)

Moskowitz: I want to end on a happy note. I got you a new Coast Guard blankie, the one you lost.

McGovern: How the hell is this America first? You guys broke your top campaign promise. Good luck with that. I hope the defense contractor money was worth it. Shame on you all. The mask is off. You're all just a bunch of pathetic Neocon Warmongers.

Jayapal: DHS is supposed to be protecting our residents. You have actually turned the United States government against its own residents. Yours is a case of failed leadership secretary, you need to resign, be fired, or be impeached.

Since the Dow is under 50,000, can we talk about the Epstein files again?
