So, she's painting the north (U.S.) side of the wall? Because?

Or ... "no one" if my fingers weren't faster than my brain.
Why does not one tell him to his face "Oh cupcake, you were just OWNED"?
Yeah, he got owned.
Winner!
This is total BS on Jeffries' part. We have a candidate. Get on board ffs!
Beat me to it. Word for word.
Can I borrow "coked up talking clown shoes" for a thing I might have to write? I'm ❤️-ing it so much.
Yup. Pretty sure if I "assumed ownership" of my neighbor's car, that would be grand theft auto.

Getting emotional looking at all of these incredible supporters doubling their gifts thanks to Russ's generous offer! 🥲
Exactly. I'd say it answered that question. (If, in fact, anyone -- presumably living under a rock -- still thought there was any question at this point.)
"Oh look, all new numbers!" What were the chances?
Sounds about right.
"in office"?
Corruption is still corruption. Its 'everyday' appearance in this Administration doesn't make it any less corrupt. Just more.
So POTUS, tell us you're guilty without saying you're guilty.
He's just mad because they wouldn't let him into their "gang" 😂
Because it seems like 'conflict of interest' isn't a thing these days....
WHAT????
I just can't fathom .....
" My number one charge is to protect the American public." ????? Have we seen any evidence that this is a thought that has EVER crossed his mind?
But it's such a soft and fluffy dump truck. I must hug it!
And that representatives of the Administration refer to these individuals as "sickos" is appalling.
How could anyone come up with the words "intentionally OR NOT" in describing the unprecedented grift and extortion being committed by this man and his family?
Love is a political ideology?
Illegally impounded, perhaps?
Remarkable? That's the best they could do?
And yet, I give a flying f@ck about what the president's priorities are.
I'm a "yes" vote.
"raising questions" over conflicts of interest? Oh, the conflicts are more than "raised."
"If I don't let the media air broadcast a number, it won't even exist. People don't need to know the numbers. The numbers are whatever I say they are."
We now have a concentration camp in Florida. Stop pretending any of this is normal. If you claim to be a good person and you're not outwardly opposing this regime, you're not a good person. Be human.
WTAF?
Or just use the popular "I don't recall saying that." It never goes out of style.
🚨NEW: The Trump admin moves to terminate Temporary Protected Status for HALF A MILLION Haitians, claiming despite all reality that Haiti is a safe country to return to — even though large portions of the country are ruled by vicious gangs and civil governance has collapsed.
wtf?
Thank you. Was wondering why the old "don't end with a preposition" wasn't getting any attention. "Whom ... with?" Ouch.
Hmmm. It's so obvious, and yet so elusive. How do I make this thing, which is clearly a thing, not look like a thing.
If this were posted on FB, there would be immediate comments to the effect "yeah, that right there, that's what I voted for."
"public virtue" and "honest devotion to the public's interests"??? Have they been living under a rock?
If they are holding someone there, it is "detention." I don't care that they call it a field office. They can call it "Bob." But if they are holding someone, it's covered by the law. ICE cannot "rule" their way around a law.
YES!
They can't override a law by "posting new rules." If they are holding someone at a field office, it's "detaining." Instant authority for Congresspersons to conduct oversight. Don't follow those "rules." Take police with you. Take a judicial warrant. Just... interrupt this BS.
If someone is "being detained" or "housed" (even "temporarily"), it doesn't matter whether the facility is an ICE Field Office or being operated as a "detention facility." No requirement for advance notice can legally be required. Period. End of story.
So, is the craft now in a 'safe' mode? It does appear that the non-essential systems have been shut down. But not clear that the craft has been protected.
Even better.
THAT'S what I'm looking for.
Count me as a patriotic American who will NOT 'get behind' this President.
Just. Thank you for everything you posted today. I'm feeling like I just can't take this shit much longer. But you keep putting it out there. So thank you.
Horrifying. Why aren't even the MAGA horrified? How can this be America?
This can't be real, America wake up!
These are 'federal agents'???? They look like just guys in hoodies. Thugs?
Why isn't this in the news? This is horrifying!
WTF? And he's issuing 'official orders' by Tweet? (I refuse to call this mess a 'Truth.') Making clear he's specifically targeting Democrats. This is insane.
"Many"? Not the word I would have used. Hmmm. Something like MILLIONS!
Yeah baby, my neighborhood has a group of over 80-year old white women who have been carpooling to the protests together, hoisting their handmade signs and making some good trouble. Some of my heroes!
Maybe Noem's beef with Padilla was that he didn't wear a better costume to the presser.
I am so tired of the "bending" and the "testing." Call it by its name.
Do you hear the people sing? Singing a song of angry men? It is the music of a people Who will not be slaves again
Just. Thank you.
😆😆😆😆😆
I'm not sure that being detained for immigration violation gives you Miranda rights. Deportation is a civil, not criminal, procedure/remedy. If you're in Immigration Court .... maybe someone who knows the process could answer this.
This was my question. If Stephen Miller is (supposedly) an 'advisor,' does he have authority to issue orders? I mean, I get that he's the man behind the curtain and tells Trump what to sign and T signs it without reading/understanding, but is Miller now claiming he himself is issuing order to ICE?
Exactly!
Where is the LAPD when it comes to enforcing laws and protecting citizens? Backing up unidentified Federal jack boosters endangering bystanders through reckless maneuvers, causing accidents, and threatening innocent people (citizens or not) isn’t that. bsky.app/profile/acat...
I think he was actually saying, "so we're planning to go warfighter on this city."
Why is it ICE keeps looking for "the worst of the worst" at construction sites, restaurant kitchens, farm fields, schools and immigration hearings? It feels 'somewhat' unlikely those would be the best places to find the gang members and violent criminals they claim they're focused on.
Thank you. Needed.
“People came over to help and got me on the curb. A medic was called, who cut off my clothes. In my leg was what felt like a five centimeter hole with muscle hanging out of it and blood all down my leg. The medic put a tourniquet on it, and a journalist I was with took me to ER.”
I guess the judge just said the President can waste his time in a civil suit if he decides this is the best use of his time.
I 'hate' to break it to him, but (1) no one has admitted their reporting was untrue/a scam, and (2) the Court hasn't ruled on the actual merits of the case. Ruling today was just that the defendants can't get a stay of the lawsuit (tho' the President could if he were the defendant in a civil suit).
Trump isn't actually interested in the substance of the job of President. He doesn't take briefings; he "doesn't know" what's happening or what he's signing. He is interested in the TV "reality show" aspect of it. Accessibility isn't the same as governing. And not all "content" is content.
'kay, I did spit my coffee reading this
I needed this giggle/snort!
Has anyone noticed that POTUS has been referring to other countries as partners in the past several days, rather than allies? Is this just a natural extension of his interest in foreign policy being limited to its real estate deal potential? (The reduction of everything to "what's in it for me?")
And lo, the enemies of your people shall become your only 'friends,' and you shall dwell in the House of Shameless Grift forever.
Or park it at Alcatraz.
And the point that the Library of Congress is not an Executive Branch agency, but falls under the Legislative branch: is this meaningless? The term of appointment (which, yes, is by the president, but for a term of 10 years) doesn't expire until 2026. How does DT fire the Librarian by email notice?
That's an unfortunate headline. Did they mean to say "In a clearly illegal and unconstitutional move..." and then forgot where they were headed with this thought?
Exactly, like this is "brokering a deal." The Faux News 'headline' is nauseating.
The court doesn't get to "decide to try to stop" anything. The issue has to be presented to them in the form of a lawsuit over which they have jurisdiction.
And these morons think the J6 insurrectionists DIDN'T receive due process? Pay attention.
Standing around talking to people = 'insurrection'??? And WTAF does 9/11 have to do with insurrection? Did he mean J6? Like scaling the walls and beating cops and vandalizing government property?
That is seriously effed up.
Confused. From the various appointments he has made I thought he preferred total novices and political hacks.
First they came for dolls. Next up: explaining to the kids that they don't really need all of those teeth, and that they'll be better for it.
There's a pair to cosy up to: Josh Hawley and Clarence Thomas.
Good to know. I thought in game theory it was called total chaos.
I thought it was "Congress shall make no law abridging freedom of speech by those who agree with me."
Oh lord, just what we need: the "Look what you made me do" defense.
Oh they gave up on the DoJ being anything but DT's private law firm months ago. No independence? No problem.
I love this so much.
Gotta hate having to agree with him.....
But it can't be just an "issue," his authority exists only if there's a "national security threat" or an "emergency."
