This is fucking insane.
The Trump DOJ just stood in federal court and said with a straight face that the authoritarian regime could bulldoze the Statue of Liberty tomorrow — and there's nothing anyone could do about it.
When a judge asked point-blank: "If the government decides to destroy the Statue of Liberty before anyone can sue�� nothing can be done?" The DOJ lawyer answered: "I think that's right, yes."
Let that sink in.
They're openly admitting they believe Trump has the power to erase one of America's most sacred symbols — the literal beacon of freedom for millions of immigrants — and the courts can't stop them in time.
This is authoritarian, dangerous, un-American bullshit.
The Statue of Liberty isn't their property to demolish on a whim. It belongs to the American people.
Wake the hell up, y'all!
🚨The situation is completely getting out of control.
🚨 Albania is out of control for the fifth consecutive day.
Angry crowds close the streets and confront Kushner's Israeli project to seize land.
The Albanian people shout: 'No surrender! We will not become another Palestine!' 💥

I'm a grizzly.
They just decided one acre is all I need.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service just redefined "secure habitat" for grizzly bears in Montana.
The science said 2,500 acres minimum.
They changed it to one.
No public input. No new science. Just a rewrite.
And it wasn't random. The change conveniently cleared the way for a 17,700-acre logging project cutting straight through the corridor grizzlies use to travel between two of their last strongholds in North America.
A former Forest Service wildlife biologist said it plainly: "A one-acre island of forest surrounded by roads isn't secure habitat. It's a death trap."
Courts already rejected this same playbook when agencies tried 10-acre patches near Yellowstone. They lost. Then they came back with one acre.
Who's going to tell the grizzly it only gets one acre?

Trump’s USDA boss, Brooke Rollins, is gutting the Roadless Rule to sell off 58M acres of our national forests to logging companies. They fired +20k workers to push this through
We fought for this since2001. Selling out our public lands for logging profits is flat-out disgraceful
@Mastiffs4ever@JeremyKonyndyk Spin is what they all do. Republicans are worse. They outright lie. That doesn’t put them in the clear. It does say they cut some of the program and they don’t have a clear cause yet. Here is more of the corruption that DOGE tried to pull off.
It is Albanians, not Americans, who are protesting against American corruption.
The US appears to have accepted the corruption of the Trump family, so we Americans have to rely upon the sound anti-corruption sentiments of others.
Truly embarrassing, but thank you, Albania!
Ossoff: Last September, the President of Kazakhstan calls Donald Trump and says he wants to grant tungsten mining rights to an American company. And the very next month, Eric and Don Jr. get a stake in the American company pursuing the mining deal.
Six days later, six days after Prince Eric and Prince Don get their stake, Kazakhstan announces this company will get, “The largest known undeveloped tungsten resource in the world.” A few more weeks go by, and then the U.S. government, run by their father, sets aside 1.6 billion of your tax dollars to fund and finance their mining project. In Kazakhstan.
All this while you pay more for gas, for groceries, for health care, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
This is so insanely corrupt, I can’t even believe it.
More than half the donors to Trump’s $400 million White House ballroom just won over $50 billion in new federal contracts in six months.
And here’s the part that should make your blood boil.
Sixteen of these 27 donors were facing federal enforcement actions, antitrust reviews, labor cases, securities charges. Many of those cases have been quietly dropped or scaled back since Trump took office. You write a check, your legal problems disappear. That’s not a coincidence.
The White House won’t even release the full donor list. They’re hiding it on purpose, because daylight is the one thing pay-to-play can’t survive. A federal judge already ruled ballroom construction has to stop until Congress authorizes it.
Government is supposed to serve the people, not auction itself off to the highest bidder. When access goes to whoever pays the most, working families always end up paying the price.
We either end the corruption, or the corruption will end us.

@mattvanswol The people are ok with voter ID,but that is not what the bill does and you know it. It gives the power to control voter rolls to the federal government which will allow whomever is in charge to influence the elections.There is a reason the constitution gives that power to states.
