Since they won't give due process to anyone they pick up, none of the immigrants who have work visas to do the gardening in DC, will risk coming into town to do it ... And they couldn't afford to pay young white men and women enough to get them to do that work, SO National Guard, slave labor!
This Administration doesn't care about the laws. They don't care about due process. All they care about is power and exerting control over cities they don't like. Los Angeles will not stand for it.
ABC News is still calling RFK Jr. a “vaccine skeptic.” The dude was one of the most prominent anti-vaccine activists for decades. There’s video of him in 2023 saying that there’s no vaccine which is safe and effective. You can call him an anti-vaccine activist!
The last 3 years have been the hottest in around 125,000 years. CO2 levels are their highest in MILLIONS of years. But most people have no idea this is happening, let alone what it means for our kids’ futures. Our politics & media have failed our children. We should be furious.
NEW: The trump administration attempted to remove 600 terrified unaccompanied minors to Guatemala in the middle of the night on a holiday weekend. Judge Sooknanan stopped it. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-sookna...
From what I understand, the admin was claiming that all of these unaccompanied minors have family that want them sent! If they don't have a written, signed copy of a request document, the lawyers and the head of the agency, should be charged with that many counts of Fraud and Attempted Kidnapping!
trump's judgement day! Yes, and none of us wants to delay it if at all possible! As ye sow, ...
If only the inner circle war could stop the extra-country attacks!
They don't 'want' to make it 'state legislature based', the US Constitution says that the states make election decisions with only certain federal restrictions! So, the courts really don't make a choice, they just cite the rule by saying that the President has no authority to interfere!
The trump administration has been gutting the cyber security capability of the USA and now they are firing the few who remain for not keeping us all safe! HYPOCRAZY!
Noem is a manipulative puppy killing psychopath treating human beings like hunting targets and livestock with no remorse or empathy. She’s also a pathological liar. #ImpeachNoem No one is above the law. www.cnn.com/2025/08/29/p...
Soon relatively cheap drones will be able to use facial recognition and machine learning for targeted assasinstions. Politics is about to get a lot more violent. We need to get out of the dying US empire before we are drowned in blood.
I'm sure we will see a bigly publicized press conference, as soon as they get the double to look and act just like trump ... They're just having a little problem finding anyone willing to stoop that low!
There's only one way to stop the rumors about Donald Trump's health: a press conference. Why won't he talk to the press, and why isn't the media doggedly demanding it?
More name changes afoot… Department of Defense = Department of War Department of Education = Department of Keeping You Stupid Center for Disease Control = Center for Crackpot Conspiracies Department of Agriculture = Department of Subsidies for Farmers going broke from tariffs
He put chalk on his shoes then walked on the Pulse Memorial crosswalk. Police arrested him. But the court said they had no cause and he was released. The man arrested is now considering suing the state of Florida citing first amendment right violations.
This is the way
Good morning with good news: Solar repays its upfront CO2 debt from manufacturing in 4 months and 57 times over its life! Solar is 19x cleaner than coal per kWh. Solar is 8x cleaner than gas per kWh. Gas is dirty, not "clean!" #energysky interactive.carbonbrief.org/factcheck/so...

RFK, Jr., Secretary of Health & Human Services,is the epitome of mentally ill. His behavior is completely out of control along with 47. These 2 need a hospital, real doctors and good medication. #wtpBLUE #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #VoteBlueforOurFuture
When this time is over (& it will be) & somebody asks me to describe its nature & spirit, I shall play this clip. It embodies the whole cruelty, nastiness, sneer, indifference, cockiness, glee, inhumanity, & evil. It proves they knew what they did was illegal, but they did it happily, voluntarily.
I've been saying that the DEMs need better candidates for years ... But even a mediocre candidate is better than not even offering anyone as an alternative, which is too often the case in too many races in my state!
As the DoJ tells the court that it will not remove unaccompanied minors to Guatemala, we can only hope they’re telling the truth.
It's time for the courts to stop playing wack-a-mole with the administration! Make the CONSEQUENCES fit the size of their Contempt of OUR Court System! Put the agency head in jail for violations of court orders right along with any other 'official' who facilitates that action!
🚨This OK lawmaker was found guilty of running a vehicle with his daughter and an adult relative off of the road and INTO a ditch, causing injuries — and he is STILL in office?!? Of course, he has a history of both domestic violence and law enforcement.
We understand illiteracy & the dire consequences. To a lesser extent, also the effects of innumeracy. We are understanding in real time what happens when civics education is eroded; peeps lack basic understanding of how politics/govt actually works & his highness' royal tweets are taken as policy.
When this national nightmare is finally over, no pardons. No “This is necessary to heal the country.” Public trials. Jail time. We need to expose, convict & punish every corrupt & complicit one of them.
When our Supreme Court stated that money is speech and corporations are people they confirmed what we working people already knew. They made bribery legal. It appears some of the justices themselves were bribed. We need to get money out of politics and rid ourselves of bought office holders! 😏
Nailed it ✅😭
This is the BIGGEST CRIME PROBLEM in Florida ... Some governor has his priorities mixed up!
This is just sad. We’ve posted about this before. Now here is what is going down. The rainbow crosswalk at the Pulse memorial in Orlando (created to honor the 49 lives lost in the 2016 shooting) has now become the target of state enforcement.
And the final decision on what to do about this ... Will go to the best a$$kisser, as usually happens in the 🤡💩trump 🤡🚗administration!
China is going to eclipse the US based off electricity alone. They have a modern grid and have been increasingly electrifying their economy. They have massive surpluses of electricity and a lot based in renewables. The US has an aging grid and is tied to a future of burning fossil fuel for energy.
Christians use the Bible as the hammer to pound others claiming that a book written many years after the 'events' and translated numerous times like in the telephone game, is 'proof' that they are absolutely correct in anything they say & do! Even when it doesn't mention what they are talking about!
Truth.
It is a simple idea, and that's why it will never gain traction with this administration ... THEY THRIVE ON THE CHAOS! It lets them GRIFT Big Time! Also, it keeps those who do get in subservient to the business owners who hire them 'under the table' so they can profit more!
Don't like asylum seekers arriving by irregular routes and being stuck in hotels at the taxpayer's expense? Here are two actions the government could easily take right now to stop the people smugglers and close the hotels: 1. Open safe and legal routes 2. Allow asylum seekers to work Simples.
Seattle’s tourism is tanking, and it’s no surprise why. Canadian visitors, especially Blue Jays fans, are ghosting us because of President Epstein’s tariffs and divisive rhetoric. Local businesses like Seattle Free Walking Tours are struggling—30% fewer customers! 😞 #TrumpSlump
REP. BUDDY CARTER: What eroded confidence in the CDC was the covid vaccine BEDINGFIELD: Who was president in 2020?
The J6 pardons and the Babbitt payout are very dire. A clear and obvious promise to the base that there will be no consequences for overthrowing the government and financial rewards for dying in the effort.
This is the second judge in a week that has brought up the fact that the government can't be trusted with clear instructions - likely because the government ignored Judge Boasberg's order to turn the planes around last March saying "verbal orders from judges don't count."
NEW: Many of the unaccompanied minors who Trump is trying to traffic to Guatemala today are in foster care - some of which seem to be Christian facilities. These 10 represent a putative class of nearly 600 children nationwide. Our government is trafficking children.
More emphasis on how 'LAWLESS and UNAMERICAN' the trump administration has become since SCOTUS told trump that he could get away with anything he wants as long as he starts it in the Oval Office!
😆
The US brought in nearly $30 Billion in tariffs in July, triple the amount collected in previous years That's not good news Tariffs are taxes on Americans That $30B was collected from you and me when we bought food, clothes, electronics...
Why the Texas AG is trying to lock me up and what we're doing to fight back and win. open.substack.com/pub/betoorou...
I concur 100%. Familiarity breeds contempt For Profanity
Texas AG Partizan Attack On Beto Ken Paxton threatens to arrest Beto O'Rourke for fighting the illegal gerrymander of five congressional seats. Speech is no longer Free in Texas! open.substack.com/pub/betoorou...
Our White House should be hands-off to this president. He should not be ALLOWED to add a ballroom without taxpayer approval.
With him in control, he never has to pay for the litigation to push his anti-American Agenda, we actually pay for it with OUR American Tax Dollars! Then we have to pay to try to SAVE American Values and Ideals from his push!
Or at least a non-Christian as Christian is defined in the USA today!
Trump’s plan to rename the Department of Defense as the Department of War shows (once again) that his self-characterization as the “pro-peace” candidate was complete bullshit. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
Actually, we don't have to hound him at all ... He knows that the guy carrying that big sharp sickle is pursuing him and nipping at his heels! The only thing that he can see in his future is his legacy as the most CORRUPT person to ever be elected as pOTUS!
Anybody who actually believes that anything trump touches will ever show a 400% profit, deserves to be swindled out of their money! Especially, when it is planned to be at the expense of the people who he plans to hurt to achieve that GREEDY profit! trump has managed to sucker so many people!
What I heard was that they dug a whole new level under the lowest level of Hell for the recent (last 100 years) crop of pedophiles ... epstein has reserved you the cell next to his and he said that he'd share the 80-year-old male prostitute that has been his constant companion since he arrived!
Back at the beginning of that amount of time, the 'Made in the USA' label meant the quality was better, now, not so much as big companies raced to cheapen as well and started using 'planned obsolescence' as a policy!
“You cannot argue with stupid people. They will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience” -Mark Twain This is why the medical experts are leaving the CDC.
Let that sink in.
Now, be nice ... I'm sure he has seen the inside of a lab, at least on TV or the movies, or after they cuffed him behind his back so he couldn't destroy the work they were doing there!
If they won't protect OUR privacy, they don't deserve any themselves!
A proposal to censor info about lawmakers is being sold as a safety bill. But it won’t protect them from anything but investigative reporting. Contact your senator to tell them to scrap the bill and protect their safety — and everyone else’s — without sacrificing transparency and accountability.
Oops, I just noticed it's a dating app entry, so wouldn't want to list the deceased wives!
Is that his resume or something ... would have been much more believable if he said he was born in 1492, instead, and listed a lot more earlier wives all of whom had died while married to him!
I once worked with a man like that, when he got on an elevator, almost everyone else would get off, especially any who were going more than one more floor! But with him, it was his cologne, so strong it sickened people. I began to think that he did it on purpose to have the elevator all to himself!
Where are the Epstein files? Repost this—keep the pressure on. Demand answers.
Sure, maybe ten years ago it was, for some, a considerable accusation to make – but not any more. Not for a long while. You'd have to be willfully ignoring so damn many things not to see it now. It sure AF looks like we have a pedofile sexual predator for a president. Release the Epstein files.
And here I thought that all the really big clown-based circuses were now only located in Europe!
That's a funny way to announce that the Earth is now moving onto the listing of things that are Eternal! No Judgement Day! Whoo hoo! Wait a minute, that doesn't mean it stays like this forever with us all having to suffer that long, does it?
CHICAGO…
So do we all, and we wish success for his replacement as well!
The Social Security Administration official who exposed that the Department of Government Efficiency had left millions of Americans’ personal data vulnerable says he has been forced to resign due to retaliation. Charles Borges, who served as the SSA’s chief data officer, told
“ILLEGALS” MY ASS! Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store. He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.
Clean energy isn’t “woke.” It’s an essential part of our energy future and saves us all on power bills. This administration’s war on offshore wind and solar is just going to raise Americans’ utilities.
And the reason for that is clear ... To pass a bill would mean having a hearing and many people who don't listen to any 'liberal' media, would hear the truth about the fact that they are taxes on the USA consumer and not the foreign producer!
The other reason that he cites is that they won't buy our agricultural products, but ignores the facts that to do so they have to break religious dietary restrictions of their population and the guidance of their healthcare community since we allow use of things they know are dangerous to health!
Gavin Newsom is exactly right, Trump is doing everything we told you he would do and more. It's time to wake the hell up, America. Authoritarianism is here.
Reminds me of a Bible quote I had to learn as a child ... Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone. Yea, I thought so!
It's what we should expect when we allowed a Convicted Criminal, a FELON on top of that, to become OUR Leader! I hate to say it, but ... It sure makes me believe that humankind is NOT ready to take a place among any Civilized intelligences that may exist in the Universe!
Thousands of farm animals & livestock are going unattended. They aren’t being milked. They aren’t being fed. I feel a great deal more for those animals than for the farmers who voted for this shit. They KNEW who their workers were & where they came from. But they voted to hurt them anyway.
Food isn't expensive. Water isn't expensive. Even power isn't expensive. Mega-rich bosses demanding gigantic profits are expensive.
Homebuyers need to earn 80% more than 2020, per Zillow. Median income has risen 23% in that time.
Newsom's office almost had it right .... Training at play-acting like you are going to be arresting innocent children and teens is tougher and more dangerous than playing Superman!
Sometimes I wonder how the executives of the big gas and coal companies can look into the faces of their children and grandchildren and not get down on their knees to beg for forgiveness for the shortened lives they will leave behind for them!
Can we make this the wave of the future, the AGs of the various states get together & set up class action suits to recover the overcharges of many different big corporations profiting from privatization by the trump admin! Since the people already pay the lawyers, more money will get to the victims!
But it's simple to explain why he has done it, and it has nothing to do with the costs involved ... He doesn't want his 'secret army' of Jan 6th pardonees, to be stopped by the Secret Service when he gets them to stop bloviating and get down to the business of eliminating his political opponents!

Here's another 'mission' and 'moment' saying ... Seize this moment to choose your mission and make it a worthwhile one. Then the only problem is sticking to your mission!
One of the main requirements to be a GOP Official is that you have to be able to LIE to the constituents and keep a somewhat straight face while doing so! The other requirement is blind obedience and total loyalty to whatever trump tells you! BIG GOP DONORS will pay for such loyalty to trump!
Well, when you threaten all of the people who normally take care of doing the 'gardening' and maintenance of OUR Capitol with deportation (read kidnapping and shipment out of country), you have to find some other cheap labor to do the work! I'm sure those NG troops are not getting higher pay for it!
Many, MANY of the countries of Europe have been getting nearer and nearer to the realization that their best Defensive Move, is to support the strongest and most active Offensive Moves that they can help Ukraine take! And that includes deep hard strikes into Russia!
The GOP-supported Russian Agent has been very successful in destroying the Strength of the USA and OUR ability to resist Russian Aggression, even our ability to recognize it and point it out to the world in general! They can all proudly march to the execution chambers when putin takes over!
