The Texas #GOP is putting loyalty to #Trump over the fundamentals of our #constitution.

“ Donald Trump, ever the Dollar Store Bonaparte, is prepping federal muscle in Washington, D.C., deploying National Guard units and flooding the streets with extra federal agents, because nothing says “I’ve got this Epstein story under control” like turning the nation’s capital into an armed camp.

Vaccines don’t just prevent deadly and dangerous diseases like measles, polio and COVID-19.

A new study found that people who got the shingles vaccine had a 20% lower risk of developing dementia.

Lol. Even perhaps a ROFLMAO. Vance is bitching about censorship in the UK.

Dude. Bro. Amigo. Your goons are making any visa applicant to the US open their entire social media presence and phones to you. Your goons are using fake cell towers to surveil protests. Your goons are flying military drones over US cities to collect video and radio intelligence. Your goons are passing laws literally banning kids books. Fuck off into the sun, then continue fucking off.

Corporal Vance is like a little kid in a candy shop. He’s learning how to crime from a convicted felon. Watch how much shit JD Vance gets into.

You know like getting the Army Corps of Engineers to raise the water level in a river so his family could have a better rafting vacation.

That’s a little abuse of power.

Who do you learn it from Corporal Vance?

NEW: Judge Karen Henderson is standing up for our divided system of government.

She might be the only appellate Republican appointee in D.C. willing to do so regularly these days, but the D.C. Circuit judge has kept it up — for whatever branch needs it.

When Putin arrives in Alaska he should be arrested and turned over to the International Criminal Court.

#Trump Is Putting #Confederate Statues Back Up. Here’s Why They Must Fall Again. by @natashalennard https://theintercept.com/2025/08/08/trump-confederate-statues/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=The%20Intercept%20Newsletter

#ICE forces changes in LA; the meme is confirmed by https://ktla.com/news/california/immigration-raid-fears-prompt-cal-state-l-a-switch-to-online-classes/

A number of FEMA employees were told via email that they would be reassigned to ICE. Here's the kicker: If they don’t accept the new position, they could be fired.

The priorities of Trump's administration have never been clearer. Remove immigrants at all costs, disasters be damned.

@AlliFlowers Absolutely not! The petitions give the thugocracy a ready made list of people to disappear.

Now that companies are salivating at the prospect of making the oceans "more effective" at countering global heating, here are a few reminders:

1. The oceans are ALREADY absorbing about A THIRD of human caused carbon dioxide

(And are acidifying from all the excess CO2; ocean acidification is global warming's "evil twin").

Unbelievable. Trump has ordered the destruction of satellites monitoring climate change. White House demands NASA destroy vital satellites.
