A one-year-old was pepper-sprayed by DHS. Read that again.
ProPublica found DHS agents used tear gas or pepper spray on 79 children.
I asked CBP if any officers have been disciplined for tear-gassing kids.
They couldn’t answer.
A Nazi eagle at the White House. 88 foot flagpoles. Nazi salutes. Third Reich slogans such as “One Homeland, One People, One Heritage” & “One of ours, all of yours.” These aren’t parallels or coincidences. They’re turning America into Nazi Germany 2.0 and rubbing our faces in it.
Ronald Reagan: “You can go to live in France, but you cannot become a Frenchman…But Anyone, from any corner of the Earth, can come to live in America and become an American…This, I believe, is one of the most important sources of America's greatness.”🇺🇸
The House just passed my resolution to provide greater transparency into how taxpayer dollars were spent to resolve congressional sexual misconduct claims.
The vote was 420-0. Americans deserve to know precisely how their money is spent.
I'm always for being open about mental health, but important context is that Kean, as a state rep, voted against the New Jersey Paid Sick Leave Act, which established 40 hours of sick leave for employees a year.
Kean just took *4 months* of paid sick leave.
The Supreme Court today made a corrupt campaign finance system even worse. The Court struck down limits on the coordination between candidates and political parties, giving billionaires even more power.
Billionaires buying elections is not democracy. It’s Oligarchy.
Elon challenged everyone to name someone who was killed by his DOGE cuts to USAID. Nicholas Kristof, who did the study, accepted the challenge.
Instead of explaining why Kristof was incorrect, he responded with personal abuse.
He is clearly rattled.
That time when an unarmed Iranian ship was invited to take part in an Indian naval exercise alongside the United States.
Its sailors were welcomed on land and paraded before Indian President Modi as a gesture of respect.
Then, at the last moment, the United States suddenly abruptly withdrew from the exercise,only to wait and torpedo the very ship it had just stood beside.
What followed was even more grotesque.
After attacking an unarmed vessel, the US refused to rescue the sailors it had blown into the sea, abandoning them to drown.
The grim work of recovering bodies was left to the Sri Lankan Navy.
This wasn’t warfare,it was treachery of the most disgraceful kind: an ambush carried out under the pretense of diplomacy, followed by a cold refusal to show even the most basic human decency to the dying.
It would represent a collapse of every norm that supposedly governs civilized conduct at sea.
And yet, instead of outrage, much of the American media response has been indifference or rationalization.
The bombing of a girls’ school is brushed aside; talk of carpet-bombing Tehran is floated as if it were just another policy option.
When atrocities are normalized and cruelty is laundered into “strategy,” the line between reporting and complicity begins to disappear......
