If you are in the US military please watch this before this evening.

PLEASE REFUSE ILLEGAL ORDERS.

[United Nations @UN]

Even wars have rules.

The Geneva Conventions protect civilians in conflict and help ensure assistance reaches those in need, without discrimination.

How Pete Hegseth spent taxpayer funds:
$225 million for furniture
$15.1 million for ribeye steak
$6.9 million on lobster tail
$5.3 million for new Apple devices
$2 million for Alaskan king crab
$139,224 on donuts
$124,000 for ice cream machines
$98,329 for a grand piano
$12,000 on fruit baskets.

I assume right-wing influencers will start beating on the Pentagon doors, trying to break in, to get answers, right?

The SAVE Act says your birth certificate name has to match your married name, and a marriage license is no longer considered an ID, so women will have to purchase a U.S. Passport in order to vote. It's just a poll tax for poor women who've never traveled, ruled unconstitutional

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

One family, the right-wing Trump-aligned Ellisons, will soon control:

TikTok
CBS
CNN
HBO
Discovery Channel
BET
Cartoon Network
Comedy Central
DC Studios
Fandango
Miramax
MTV
Nickelodeon
Paramount
PlutoTV
Showtime
TBS
The CW
TNT
Warner Bros.
And more

This is oligarchy.

@Angry_Staffer is this true?

[D. Alec Zeck @Alec_Zeck]

I am thoroughly convinced that the actual number of US troops killed in Operation Epic Fury is much, much higher than the US government is letting on…

And if the real numbers were to get out, which I’d estimate reach into the low hundreds, the American people would lose their shit.

Does Noem have to give up her (rent-free) use of the Coast Guard commandant’s residence? https://t.co/0TmgKyZenY

These are concentration camps where people are dying of simple, untreated illnesses. Shameful.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Emmanuel Damas died in ICE custody after ICE failed to treat a tooth issue that turned into pneumonia.

ICE didn't even keep his family updated.

The Trump admin's cruelty knows no bounds.

I'm pressing with @SenMarkey and @RepPressley to hold ICE accountable.

🚨 JUST IN: Howard Lutnick’s family firm reportedly bought tariff refund rights for 20–30 cents on the dollar after “Liberation Day” last year.

Now the Supreme Court has struck the tariffs down.

Translation:

For every $100 invested, Lutnick’s sons may have just made 3–5x.

Insiders knew. Regular Americans paid.

Welcome to Corrupt America — where policy is a profit scheme.

[Let America Vote @LetAmericaVote]

The anti-voter Save America Act would require 21 million American citizens to produce passports or birth certificates to register to vote.

Most don't have these documents.

This is a poll tax by another name. #HandsOffHerVote

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Republicans are still trying to pass the SAVE Act—a bill that would make it harder to vote and disenfranchise millions of Americans. Join @RedistrictAct and tell your member of Congress to vote no: https://t.co/Cc4JHKr73Q

[Rep. Jim McGovern @RepMcGovern]

Don’t be fooled. The "Save America Act” is NOT about voter ID. It’s about MAGA’s ongoing attempt to rig elections—democracy be damned.

It makes it as hard as possible for CITIZENS to register to vote—requiring them to go in-person to the clerk’s office. For folks in rural communities that likely means taking time off from work, finding child care, driving hours round trip, and spending gas, money, and time just to register to vote.

You’d also have to apply for a passport or track down a physical copy of your birth certificate and bring it with you.

Trump’s own commission found no evidence of widespread voter fraud, so let’s just be honest. This is happening because MAGA wants to make it harder for you to vote.

@MoneyManRaceFan @NESpower You can’t simply put 5,000 lineworkers on the same city grid at once. Working on a power grid is like a giant game of Operation. If too many crews are working on connected circuits at once, you risk "energizing" a line that someone else is currently holding.
