Good morning☕️

Is your life better now?

@NYCHRO was happy to be back at the 111th precinct celebrating national night out! Thank you to the NYPD for all that you do for NYC! #NNO2026

You have much more power than the people in charge of Washington want you to believe.

100 days from today comes the best chance we’ve had in a long time to use it. Let’s get to work.

So let me get this straight. Taylor Farms lettuce gets linked to the cyclospora outbreak. The CEO visits the White House and donates to Trump. Then the FDA says the positive finding was a “false positive.”

Nothing suspicious about that at all.

[Devin Nunes' Cattle Dog 🇺🇦 🇪🇺🇺🇸🇨🇦 🇦🇺 @Kaos_Vs_Control]

Meet Bruce Taylor, of Taylor Farms. This man makes huge contributions to Trump so his lettuce is never inspected. So far, this man has given us E. coli, and cyclospora.

He does NOT allow his lettuce pickers to take bathroom breaks.

Kroger brand lettuce is actually Taylor’s.

Do not laugh about this speech. It’s impossible to follow but he’s directly challenging our right to vote. The president of the United States is lying in order to wage war on our democracy and against the states. I don’t care your politics; everybody should be outraged.

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents were filmed assaulting, handcuffing, and kidnapping a U.S. citizen in Passaic, New Jersey… while refusing to even look at the ID he repeatedly begged them to check.

A man is pleading with federal agents to verify who he is…

And they refused.

Instead, one agent says, “We need to get him on the ground,” puts him in a chokehold, throws him to the ground, and multiple agents pile on top of him before handcuffing him, and throwing him into their vehicle.

Under the Fourth Amendment, the government cannot arrest, or seize someone, without probable cause that they have committed, are committing, or are about to commit an offense that authorizes the arrest.

U.S. citizens are also not required to carry identification unless they’re driving a motorized vehicle.

And if federal agents are refusing to verify someone’s identity before arresting them, then they are openly ignoring the constitution.

Which should terrify every American.

Because that means no one is safe from being kidnapped by the government… and disappeared.

Every agent involved should be publicly identified, and DHS should be forced to explain why they believed they had the legal authority to seize someone, while refusing to verify who he was.

This cannot become normal.

This clip, from Larry David's new show "Life, Larry, and the Pursuit of Unhappiness" is one of his FUNNIEST ever.

Awesome to have Rob Reiner as George Washington in possibly one of his final on-screen performances.

Cameo by Kimmel is chef's kiss.
RIP, Rob Reiner.

WWII Veteran and Purple Heart recipient Robert Hilliard:

"Next week I'll be 101 years old. In February 1944 when I was 18 years old I was inducted into the army and what they taught me to do there was to kill people who set up detention camps. Can you imagine how I felt earlier this year when they announced that one of the future detention camps would be at that same camp landing in Florida? We have a fascist, a fascist government, that allows innocent people to be put in detention camps and incarcerated."

So let me get this straight: Pulling a chunk of paint out of the Reflecting Pool gets you arrested for vandalism, but trump’s terrorists who attacked the Capitol, killed cops, broke windows, stole shit, and smeared their feces on the walls get to go free?

[Andy Kim @AndyKimNJ]

A highschool senior, a pregnant woman, and a man with Stage Three cancer. These are the people I met in Delaney Hall. When DHS tells you they are only arresting the worst of the worst, they're lying. These are everyday people kept in inhumane conditions with our tax dollars.

Republicans in North Carolina just proposed a bill that says if a woman is caught with an IUD or attempts to get an abortion then men are allowed to use DEADLY FORCE to try and stop her. They are proposing a bill that will allow men to kill women for using birth control. It’s House Bill 1232. Keith Kidwell is the Republican who proposed the bill. He claims it counts as self defense to use deadly force to stop abortion. This is a man who claims to be pro life. Feel free to give his office a call and let him know how you feel about his opinion.

And for anyone who says “obviously this will never get passed” that’s not the point. The point is it’s fucking insanity that a government official would even try to make a law like this. It’s insanity that there are men out there who are trying to make it legal to kill women for making decisions for their own bodies. This is real and it’s happening right now in front of our eyes.

Abel Potenciano is 64 years old and a grandfather.

He just spent days in a police station helping detectives solve the brutal murder of his own daughter.

The moment he finished his statement, the same officers he trusted to find her killer handed him over to ICE.

He has no criminal record and has built a life here for over 30 years, raising four U.S. citizen children.

Because of a 1997 administrative deportation order, the system weaponized a father’s grief to facilitate an arrest.

When helping the police catch a murderer ends with a one-way ticket to a detention center, the system isn't protecting the public—it’s ensuring that the next witness stays silent.

If a 64-year-old grandfather can’t report his daughter’s murder without being hunted by the people he’s helping, why would anyone ever call 911 again?

Trump didn’t just pardon his followers who stormed the U.S. Capitol.

He’s now set them up for payments through a slush fund he created to reward his allies—out of your tax dollars.

You could not make this up.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Donald Trump just stole $1.7B from us — and he's creating a slush fund to reward his political allies.

I've never seen anything like this in my 50 years in politics.

It makes Nixon look like a boy scout.

Trump promised his ballroom wouldn’t cost you a penny.

Now, Senate Republicans are asking taxpayers to foot a $1 BILLION bill for it.
