It angers me beyond description that this is where we are. I fought conspiracy theorists for *decades*, and now here I am honestly wondering if anything the government says is a false flag because we *know* they lie all the time about everything. Of course, that's their goal: Doubting facts.

Whoa! Hats off to ABC News reporter Matt Gutman for keeping his cool yesterday. This LAPD officer needs to be relieved of duty if he can’t handle an alleged “touch” without snapping.

Look, Iran. I know you think we were involved, and you’re probably right, but those B-2s aren’t hanging out at Diego Garcia for funsies and this dude is crazy. You REALLY don’t want those problems.

“ICE” as snatching people from churches now. Never forget they said this👇🏾 MAN AT CHURCH: “We don’t want this in our property.” ICE: “The whole country is our property.” No IDs shown, non-government out of state plates, basic tactical vests that just say police. Who are these men?

👀 The Trump administration has been arguing that one of the people it deported to Mexico — despite fears of persecution — said verbally he was not afraid to go there. Now, in a late Friday filing, they say that was a mistake. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Today in court DOJ attorney Jonathan Guynn reaffirmed that Abrego Garcia was deported to El Salvador "in error" And yet Garcia has still not been returned to the USA despite SCOTUS ordering Trump to facilitate Garcia's return THIS IS BULLSHIT www.cbsnews.com/news/kilmar-...

Judge in Abrego Garcia case frustrated with Trump administration: "This is about good faith versus bad faith"
A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to facilitate Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return — and has sparred with government lawyers since then.

Wow.. Trump just made a clown out of Netanyahu. Here is a statement from Steve Witkoff: "We want to bring the hostages home, but Israel is not willing to end the war. Israel is prolonging it despite the fact that we don’t see where else we can go and that an agreement must be reached"

Kash Patel, the conspiracy theorist that Republicans made FBI Director, came to a Senate hearing on the budget—with NO budget, NO timeline, and NO clue. It's downright incompetent, and it's making America less safe. We need serious leadership at the FBI.

My 401K down. My grocery bills up. GDP down. Tariffs looming. While Trump and his cronies loot the government and make themselves even more obscenely wealthy. And it's only been 100 days under this administration. We can't afford much more of this. #TheCostOfTrump

Trump's eugneics and white supremacism is on full display. He's concerned that birth rates have declined since 1960. It's as if he has no idea that birth control gave women freedom and control over family planning. He thinks of women as brood mares.

I was just cc-ed on an email where a Nobel prize winner and green card holder who's spent a lot of time in the US says he cannot risk coming back at this point for a visit. And I cannot blame him for this decision. We are witnessing absolute mad king behavior.
