You left out the part where the bill merges the U.S. military with Israel’s military, you treasonous bastards.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Marco Rubio last month on the Strait of Hormuz: “No country is allowed to charge tolls or fees on an international waterway.”

Yesterday, Trump announced that the U.S. will start charging a 20% fee on cargo passing through the Strait of Hormuz.

Guess the rules changed

🚨 A new study shows deaths caused by police have surged across the last 2 decades — nearly 12,000 people killed since 2003, including 270 children. Annual deaths more than doubled and nearly quintupled for kids, with young Black men facing the highest mortality rates.

[Jesus Freakin Congress @TheJFreakinC]

🚨An ICE agent accused a U.S. citizen of “impeding” because she refused to drive her car into another vehicle.

In the video, an ICE agent yells at a woman, in her car, to move. She explains that she can’t move because she will hit another vehicle.

She isn’t refusing… or trying to block them… she is trying to avoid committing a crime.

“I’m not impeding. I’m trying to get out of the fucking way. You see how narrow it is.”

The agent then tells her to back up.

Her response…

“You are endangering me. Get out of my way so I can back up. I’m going to hit this car.”

And this is exactly why it is so dangerous when ICE agents claim someone was “weaponizing their vehicle.”

Because we keep seeing the same problem… ICE agents create chaotic situations by blocking roads, surrounding vehicles, and giving conflicting commands. Then, when someone tries to navigate that chaos, they claim they were being attacked.

When the government creates the danger, everyone else is left to deal with the consequences.

Fox News: Public health officials are investigating a surge in cases of a severe intestinal disease. It's caused by a microscopic parasite called Cyclospora. Last year, the CDC made Cyclospora data reporting optional to allow food safety staff to prioritize so-called "core activities." The CDC has now confirmed infections in 31 states.

One person should not have all this power. How was this an actual thing?

@blueridge_yeti @Mr_Brown75 @kevindmonaghan @MorePerfectUS Really? Because you’re in one right now. Defending groups that will try to fleece you just because you think you won’t ever get got. I don’t think I’d scammed, doesn’t mean I roll out the red carpet for them. Weird of you to defend this.

@blueridge_yeti @Mr_Brown75 @kevindmonaghan @MorePerfectUS If the predatory practices didn’t work, they wouldn’t do them. Why do you dislike something that is going to help you and the people around you?

Trump has fired all three remaining members of the Election Assistance Commission, leaving the agency with no commissioners just months before the midterms, per VoteBeat

Believing that billionaires and trillionaires are fighting for the working class requires an almost comical level of delusion.

The Republican Party 4 months before midterms: "You're not getting affordable housing unless you give up your voting rights"

Great message.

[Mark Warner @MarkWarner]

Reports that the White House has dismissed the remaining members of the Election Assistance Commission — all of whom were unanimously confirmed by the Senate, including a commissioner appointed by President Trump himself — should concern every American, regardless of party, because the EAC was established by Congress as an independent, bipartisan body to help states administer secure and credible elections.

If these reports are accurate, removing every remaining commissioner just months before the 2026 midterm elections is an extraordinary step that demands an immediate explanation from the administration and raises profound concerns about political interference in the institutions that support our elections.

Since he keeps losing his attempts to force blue states into handing over the voter data he needs to purge Democrats from the rolls, he appears to be moving on to level two: disrupting election processes so he can later claim that voting machines were never properly certified and may have been compromised. That could then be used as a pretext to send FBI agents into swing-state polling centers on Election Day, seize ballot boxes, and prevent legally cast votes from being counted.

[Another @AllwhichIam]

@kylegriffin1 Fascism. Trump is brazenly trying to rig the midterm election's so he can hold onto power and avoid being impeached for a third time
