Brooke Rollins on farm laborers: "There will be no amnesty. The mass deportations continue, but in a strategic way. And we move the workforce toward automation and 100% American participation, which with 34 million able-bodied on Medicaid we should be able to do fairly quickly."

The GOP just passed a bill to add almost a trillion dollars to our annual deficit every single year going forward. And they were told the bill would do this. They all voted Yes to this.

Warnock: You literally have, in real time, the leader of another nation-state—in this case, South Africa—there to talk to him about trade, and he’s saying, “Sorry, Mr. President, we don’t have a plane to offer you.” And you see why we have an Emoluments Clause in the first place.

Here, let me fix it. ICE are a bunch of gestapo pigs.
Screenshot of a tweet by Homeland Security (@DHSgov) responding to a statement made by Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. The DHS tweet reads: “It is absolutely sickening to compare ICE law enforcement agents to the Gestapo. Attacks and demonization of ICE and our partners is wrong. ICE officers are now facing a 413% increase in assaults. Our message is clear: DO NOT come to this country illegally. If you do, we will...” Below this tweet is a retweet of a post by Alpha News (@AlphaNewsMN) with a video still of Governor Walz in academic regalia speaking at a podium during a commencement ceremony. The Alpha News tweet states: “During a commencement ceremony speech at the U of M, Gov. Tim Walz described federal ICE agents as 'Trump's modern-day Gestapo.'”

Hurricane season starts June 1 and if you live in a Gulf state, you need to watch this. It’s worse than you might think. The few employees still left at FEMA admit: they are not prepared. Not enough staff. Not enough supplies. Not enough leadership. Plan accordingly.

The same day Moody’s downgraded the U.S. credit rating, citing rising debt & exploding deficits, Republicans tried to ram through permanent tax cuts for billionaires, which would add $trillions more to the deficit. 📌 All 3 major agencies now rank us below top tier. The GOP’s answer: make it worse.

'It will be a no forever': Former Trump Cabinet official takes firm stance against him
Rep. Ryan Zinke (R-Mont.), a former member of President Donald Trump's Cabinet, has unexpectedly come out strongly against a House amendment to the GOP budget proposal that could permit the sale or transfer of an estimated 500,000 acres of public land in Nevada and Utah. Zinke's firm resistance to the amendment, shared by some fellow Republicans from Western states, now puts the future of Trump's “big, beautiful” budget bill at risk. “It’s a no now. It will be a no later. It will be a no forever,” Zinke, who served as the interior secretary in Trump's previous administration, told The Associated Press. READ MORE: 'Politically boneheaded': Retired 4-star general slams Trump’s 'creepy' military parade An article in the New York Times published Friday noted that as interior secretary, Zinke drew criticism from environmental groups for backing the oil and gas sector. The report highlighted that the amendment, potentially representing the most significant sale of U.S. public lands in recent history, aligns with the agenda of current Interior Secretary Doug Burgum. In March, Burgum appeared at press event streamed on YouTube alongside Scott Turner, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. “Our federal lands are an incredible asset on America’s balance sheet,” Burgum said. He added that these lands could be used “to solve our nation’s affordable housing crisis.” "Selling off public lands would assuredly not do this, since all but a tiny fraction are far from cities and lack basic infrastructure. Some of the parcels targeted by the amendment are adjacent to Zion National Park in Utah and are far more likely to be developed for vacation homes," the Times piece said. READ MORE: When the sleeping giant awakens, Trump will be toast "More fundamentally, Mr. Burgum’s view of the public lands as assets to be exploited is wildly shortsighted and simplistic. It threatens more than a century of progress in one of this country’s most vital and popular shared experiments." House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) had aimed for Republicans to push Trump's "big, beautiful bill" through Congress and onto his desk by Memorial Day. However, internal disagreements among GOP members over the bill’s details have stalled progress, making it unlikely that it will pass by the deadline. The House Budget Committee voted on the legislation Friday and ultimately rejected it in a 21-16 decision. Reps. Chip Roy (R-Texas), Andrew Clyde (R-Ga.), Josh Brecheen (R-Okla.), and Lloyd Smucker (R-Penn.) broke ranks and sided with Democrats in opposing the measure.

Kroger is allegedly overcharging consumers by listing expired sales prices on shelves and charging full price at checkout.  And thanks to decades of consolidation, Kroger stores are now the only grocers in some rural areas.   Minimal competition means maximized price gouging.

The state of Georgia is using the body of a brain-dead woman as an incubator. Because she was 9 weeks pregnant when she died, and their abortion ban is from about 6 weeks, they are sustaining her on life support, without input from her family, until 32 weeks of gestation. A true dystopian nightmare.
