Apparently a soldiers wife was tricked by ICE into showing up to get a military ID and was detained. She is set for deportation. She has 4 American born kids. Absolutely disgusting way to treat service members families. Good on Bobby for campaigning on this.

Six U.S. soldiers were killed and dozens were injured when an Iranian drone struck a U.S. Army logistics facility at Port Shuaiba in Kuwait. Some soldiers told the AP that commanders had been warned the facility was vulnerable to a drone attack. The Army completed its review of the March 1 attack in June but has yet to release the report.

It's a military coup. That was the real purpose of bombing the fishing boats. You give illegal orders, watch the chain of command, and then you can promote the loyalists, mark and purge anyone who might be problematic later. It's basic workforce development.

NEW EPISODE: ICE never wanted you to see these: internal government documents that show Homeland Security Investigations has been probing nonpartisan groups that help register citizens to vote. They even outlined a plan to use undercover agents. youtube.com/watch?v=bJoZjzYO…

Obsessed with Talarico’s new ad lol

Trump: "Today is Vladimir Putin's birthday. I'm sure you're going to celebrate it. Are you going to celebrate his birthday? I have a call set up." What the hell is wrong with you?! Celebrate? You sure? The birthday of a butcher responsible for murdering 25 people in Ukraine today? Who struck an apartment building at 6 in the morning, wiping out entire families, including 5 small kids ON HIS BIRTHDAY!? ​You're sure you want to celebrate such a person instead of maybe mourning his victims? And they laughed in response. They fucking laughed! What the fuck is wrong with these people???

Tom Steyer is the only billionaire who supports the California billionaire tax. He makes SO many powerful observations in the recent @NewYorker article about the selfish, decadent and morally corrupt elites running Silicon Valley right now. From the piece: "I suggested to several super-rich Californians, ‘Look, if you don’t like this, why don’t we sit down and come up with something that works from your standpoint and actually addresses the issues?’ And they had no interest in doing it." He lamented the passing of what he saw as tech’s originating spirit, entrepreneurial but also patriotic, which was exemplified by the Hewlett-Packard founders’ heavy involvement in philanthropy and public service." Can you imagine David Packard or Bill Hewlett doing the kind of self-promotion that Elon Musk does?” he said. “There’s obviously been just a really dramatic change. I don’t want to turn them into gods, but Dave Packard and Bill Hewlett felt a deep connection with the country and with the state and with the land. It doesn’t exist today.” I asked him how he explains this change. “The people who are making the big money in California are technology people,” he said, and many of them “are incredibly focussed on that and quite dismissive of the other kinds of learning. That is not something they respect. English literature is not something they respect.” It may be pertinent that we were speaking at the decidedly old-school Yale Club, in New York City—Steyer is an alum. “When you get too reductive in terms of focussing just on money, or just focussing on technology, there are a lot of things that you’re cutting away from that world view,” he went on. “And a lot of those things are what we would think of as human values, like compassion, some sense of honor, all the things that you read about in the soft courses. And, if you don’t have that, then O.K., good night. You have a different frame of reference and a different value system.”

70% of ICE detainees at the Batavia Detention Center have no criminal record or history, have followed the rules—and are being deported anyway. I have heard directly from constituents with loved ones and family members who have been ripped away from them at what are supposed to be routine immigration check-ins and are now housed at Batavia.

While Uday and Qusay Trump rob the nation…👇👇

Regarding an election surprise, don't be surprised if this Russian plague shockingly comes to America in around 10 days and Trump shuts everything down. Something about this plague is feeling way too familiar.

For the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague: Russian propagandist Solovyev says that Russia’s goal is to kill all residents of Ukrainian cities: "And to those Kyiv residents who are still there, I repeat for the hundredth time: leave the city. You are doomed. To the residents of Odesa and Mykolaiv: you’ve had your laugh. When people ask, 'Do we really have to think about them at all?' Yes. We are thinking about where to bury all of you." Calls for the mass murder of civilians are classified under international law and national legislation as among the gravest international crimes and criminal offenses and may fall under several key categories: • direct and public incitement to genocide; • instigation of war crimes and crimes against humanity; • war propaganda and incitement to hatred.

American Kleptocracy 👇👇

Michael Lewis tells @Timodc how Howard Lutnick’s management of the Commerce Department is pushing out the very experts the government can’t afford to lose.

Mike Johnson says Dems would vote NO on curing cancer to deny Trump a win. Reality check: 204/204 Democrats voted YES on a cancer bill in April. While Johnson’s House cuts pediatric brain tumor funding and NIH grants. 4% funding rate. He’s not fooling anyone. 💀🤡

North Korean ballistic missiles are attacking Europe and killing Europeans. North Korean soldiers are fighting on European soil and killing Europeans. But supplying German Taurus missiles to Ukraine would be an escalation.

Democratic Gov. Wes Moore after being blocked from speaking at an event near Baltimore unveiling a new multi-billion-dollar investment in submarine manufacturing: "And so in the final day, the president decided to give a speech and take the credit, which is pretty par for the course where you don't do the work, but you get all the credit. That is the Trump way.

PATHETIC: Speaker Johnson and his caucus of cowardly Republicans canceled their last day of work before an eight-week recess to avoid voting on impeaching Pete Hegseth until after the midterms. Make sure to send them a letter in support of Hegseth's impeachment here: bit.ly/4iyfx9o

Thank you @BillGates and @TheGatesFoundation

JON STEWART: “So in the FUTURE we WILL use A.I. to cure diseases… but right now it’s mostly murder, surveillance, and surge pricing for the McRib — What a trade! I’m getting the sense you guys might be full of shit.”
