Reporter: “If you could say something to Trump, what would it be?” PA voter: “You're a worthless pile of shit.” Reporter: “How many times did you vote for him?” PA voter: “Three times. That was my bad. Apparently I'm an idiot.”

I am so tired of Americans acting like the Strait of Hormuz is our possession that somehow needs to be liberated. We did this to ourselves. Time to pay the piper. And yes, I mean everyone. America sucks and as citizens we all own this shit. Deal with it.

It is both pathetic & dangerous to see Republicans actively stoking a religious war in a country that was founded on the value of religious freedom.   Fortunately, the good people of NYC did not fall for this grotesque, bigoted fear mongering against @mayor.nyc.gov.

Last year, surveillance giant Palantir (who got an 8-figure contract from ICE) paid $0 in federal income tax despite making $1.5 BILLION, partly due to new tax cuts in Trump's Big, Beautiful Bill. They cut Medicaid & SNAP to pay for this. This monstrosity must be reversed.

Today’s retreat is absolutely an attempt to take pressure off of Congress to rein in ICE so that a funding package can get through. That pressure has been effective. We can celebrate Minneapolis’ win but we need to keep the pressure on. They’re not going to stop forever.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.
