So once again Hegseth has taken an action that is embarrassing and not allowed to do as Sec. of Defense. He has two choices on the list of officers to be promoted one star generals. He can APPROVE or REJECT the entire list. He CANNOT remove some. He removed 2 black males & 2 women. Disgraceful!

“We need to start to think of ICE in a different way. This isn't merely a governmental agency. It's a para military group that has seen its ranks swelled by people drawn from the far right's base. They are not enforcing laws, they are pursuing a political ideology.” - @its_mccarthy

“Remember when we said that Project 2025 clearly laid out how Trump was going to turn ICE from a border-focused immigration enforcement agency into a national secret police force answerable only to Trump as his own personal Gestapo, operating everywhere with impunity? Yeah. That.”

If the Trump WH could just be honest with us for once & tell the truth about these “peace talks/deals” we could handle it. Tell us it’s going to be difficult with lots of things unresolved & pitfalls to navigate. Instead, because of Trump’s craving for praise, we get propaganda.

These two things are true at the same time: 1. Republicans don't care about health care 2. They may still try to destroy Obamacare once and for all Remember, they've got a reconciliation bill next year, with no filibuster. My latest at Public Notice: www.publicnotice.co/p/republican...

Republicans are completely full of it on healthcare

And it becomes more obvious every time they talk about it.

You’re leaving out one of the most damning statements made. He said “We can either do this the easy way or the hard way”. That sounds like a direct threat or promise, if you will, from the FCC. This is where we are now! It took Putin and Orban years to do this and Trump has gotten here in 9 months!

At a profound level, MAGA's immigration policies are simply a way to transfer taxpayer dollars to private contractors whose job is to terrorize the American people. Fundamentally, leaders are using our own money to destroy our democracy.

Wolff: I remember once, when I was at Mar-a-Lago to do a sit-down interview, his aides asked for a rough outline of what I wanted to talk about. I had a lot of subjects, but I also said Epstein. And they told me, “If you ask about that, he’ll just stop the interview and you won’t get anything.”

This is Trump's ICE Gestapo. In what democratic country do federal employees of the government wear black masks to hide their identities — and drive around in black vans with blacked-out windows kidnapping and terrorizing people, including American citizens and legal residents?

You can definitely try that one first! It still says Open 24hrs online. I suggested the other because I just don’t know what the PD might have blocked off, if anything. If you can’t get into that one you’ve got the backup. Your maps app will pickup “Rupp Arena Parking” to get you there!

Carrie, I just checked and the downtown parking garage on Main Street has posted that it’s “temporarily closed”. I’m not surprised given that we’re blue dots in a red state. I just wanted to give you a heads up in case you were considering that parking garage. Safe travel!🙏

This is happening right downtown and there is not a lot of street parking there. I would not use the garage there.When you’re just outside Lexington put Rupp Arena Parking Lot in your maps app. There’s parking there & a parking garage right by that if it’s full. Short walk from there. Be safe!🙏🤗
