Trump's explanation: "I did post it, and I thought it was me as a doctor and had to do with Red Cross."

Yeah, because that totally looks like what you see when you hobble in to the ER.

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.

A truly extraordinary moment.

We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.

Act like it.

As many as 140 servicemembers injured. 7 killed. Thousands of Americans stranded in the region with a target on their backs and no escape.

All for a war that a draft dodger cannot even articulate a coherent and consistent justification for.

How. Is. This. America. First.

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.

That's roughly $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

People do not want this.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Trump and MAGA railed against the nonexistent Deep State. Meanwhile, they've created their own monstrosity: The Shallow State. This administration is filled with clueless dolts whose understanding of the world never extends below the surface.

"No new wars," said the Bone Spur Man. Being a Very Stable Genius, he promised to "stop the chaos in the Middle East." Far better to be a "peacemaker and a unifer."

Meanwhile, fun fact: There are MAGA supporters who still don't know they've been scammed.

I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party.

We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness — or one rooted in cruelty and rage.

A short note to Kristi Noem To a current Cabinet secretary from a former one

The New York Times reports that the Department of Homeland Security has sent Google, Meta, and other media corporations subpoenas for the names on accounts that criticize ICE enforcement. The department wants to identify Americans who oppose what it’s doing. I’ll save them time.

Trump tries humor, gets some silence at black-tie dinner with ‘people I hate’ In a frenetic presidency marked by jarring contrasts, he added another Saturday night: suiting up in black-tie regalia amid mass immigration protests and telling jokes about invading Greenland.

“I had the nastiest, most vicious joke about John Roberts,” Trump said. “If you think I’m going to tell that joke you can forget it.”
“I’m going to kiss his ass for a long time,” he added.

That is, in fact, the nastiest most vicious joke — on us all.

Thinking back to Stephen Miller's rant last fall, when he declared "They have no idea how ruthless we are," does anyone else think Kristi Noem was selected for her position because she bragged about murdering her own dog?

Noem, Miller, and Trump should all be impeached.

CBS News: Federal government watchdogs deny Duckworth's request for joint probe of immigration agents' use of force

CBS News: Federal government watchdogs deny Duckworth's request for joint probe of immigration agents' use of force

Our independent watchdogs are failing the American people.

ICE has attacked citizens, cops and kids in Chicago.

They are killing people in Minneapolis.

Then turn around and lie to our faces.

If this pattern of abuse doesn't warrant a joint investigative task force, what does??

Yesterday in Minneapolis, thousands of people protested peacefully.

Today, Donald Trump’s ICE killed somebody on the street.

Again.

Public executions at the hands of the government should never happen in “the land of the free.”

Not one more taxpayer dollar for Trump’s DHS, CBP or ICE.
