[Anderson Cooper 360° @AC360]

You said "what punishment of gods are not gifts. Do you really believe that?" @andersoncooper, choking back tears, asks Stephen Colbert, as they discuss grief.

"Yes," replies the comedian. "It's a gift to exist and with existence comes suffering. There's no escaping that."

[Isaac Saul @Ike_Saul]

Welp. It’s happening.

Bulldozers and heavy equipment arrived in Big Bend National Park today. The most rugged, pristine lands in the lower 48. Trump’s border wall is coming. CBP is refusing to inform residents, park superintendents, landowners, business owners, or Texas legislators what is happening. What we know is that they are now paving new roads where there were none, erecting fencing and walls to protect those roads, and then planning to install technology and border patrol agents in an area where close to zero people ever cross the border.

Ironically, depressingly, they will be spending billions of dollars to destroy this pristine American land while literally making it easier to access, which means easier for coyotes and border crossers to actually traverse the region if they wanted to. Before this, there were no roads, just desserts, cliffs, and cacti, which made it all but impassable.

A few miles upstream, the first border barriers the administration just erected were washed away in the first flood of the season — not even a bad one — but hundreds of millions of dollars wasted, literally floating down the Rio Grande. A few miles downstream, near Eagle Pass, razor wire and debris are washing up ashore from the first floods there, making this critical water source inaccessible for Texans or any wildlife enthusiasts.

Right now, as we speak, $4 billion is flowing to contractors in Trump’s orbit to cut Texans, including me and my family, off from the most critical water source in the state. All for what? Big Bend is 25% of the patrolled southwest border and accounts for less than 1% of all border crossings. Border towns, businesses, tourism — all about to be destroyed. Nevermind the irreversible wildlife damage, the feds stealing land from private citizens via eminent domain, and all the money wasted that could go to actual solutions to secure the border or support these communities.

Ever since I first visited my family here when I was 13 years old I wanted to make a life in West Texas. Three years ago, after so much hard work and planning, I spent my savings on building a home there. One I hoped my son would inherit. A home in one of the most beautiful, rugged, untouched, places in the country. Also one of the safest.

Now, everything that makes this special place special is being upended — for an illogical, wasteful, stupid plan that won't work and won't help the country.

A genuine gut punch. So depressing.

WATCH: A woman in medical scrubs on her way to work in Florida was stopped by federal immigration agents and dragged out of her car

“I’m a U.S. citizen, please help me,” she shouted . “This is unfair. Why are you doing this to me?”

[Suzie rizzio @Suzierizzo1]

A father & Physician was in his car with his baby in front of her preschool when ICE showed up & asked him for his ID which he provided them & then as he’s comforting his baby they break out his window for no reason at all & drags him out.He is a U.S citizen,but they didn’t care!

Tina Smith says Mike Lee basically told her, "I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings" when confronted over his egregiously shameful posts about the Hortman assassination

[Lucas Sanders 👊🏽🔥🇺🇸 @LucasSa56947288]

RETWEET if you want Sen. Mike Lee to resign from The Senate.

[Katie Weisman @ktweisman]

#EdBejarana suppresses free speech and degrades his audience saying their voice is meaningless while publicly shaming a woman voicing her concerns in a public forum. Then some white thugs forcibly remove woman.
@IdahoGOP shame on you.

[Brian Cardone 🏴‍☠️🇺🇦 @cardon_brian]

🚨🚨Well this is some scary AF! This lady was sitting peacefully at a town-hall in Coeur D’Alene, Idaho and after she spoke out these goons with no badges forcibly removed her. This is not America that we once knew, buckle up we are in for a long ride!

[Ammar Campa-Najjar @ACampaNajjar]

Why did young men swing so dramatically in PA (27 points!!) from Biden in 2020, to Trump in 2024? Been connecting with @profgalloway, @RichardvReeves and @aaronsmith44’s work for answers.

It’s not simply misogyny. Data shows most men ages 18-29 self identify as feminists, are pro-abortion, and support gay rights. So what’s happening?

[Heather Martin Guy @HeatherMGuy]

@atrupar @jphicks (Apparently) controversial opinion as far as the GOP is concerned; nominate someone who answers “No” to this question.

[Bill Madden @maddenifico]

Holt shit! Listen to the words of this justice on Wisconsin's Supreme Court as she questions a Republican MAGA fascist seeking to ban abortion in the state. This video encapsulates the cruel and horrific consequences of a fascist Trump presidency to perfection. 😡😡😡👇

[Really American 🇺🇸 @ReallyAmerican1]

Kevin McCarthy on Trumps choice for Attorney General, Matt Gaetz: “I'll give you the truth why I'm not speaker. It's because one person, a member of Congress, wanted me to stop an ethics complaint because he slept with a 17-year-old…”

[Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES]

Attention Senate Democrats:

Practice these words, first at home, and then in front of a TV camera:

“Release the Gaetz report. The American people have a right to know all about the underage desires of Trump’s attorney general nominee, our very own Pensacola Prince Andrew.”

[Protect Kamala Harris ✊ @DisavowTrump20]

This is Rep. Michael Guest, chair of the House Ethics Committee. His committee was scheduled to vote on releasing a damaging report on Attorney General nominee Matt Gaetz prior to his resignation.

RETWEET if you think @RepMichaelGuest should release the Gaetz report!

[Laura Robinson @LauraRbnsn]

By far the most bizarre, and incredibly frequent response I've seen to people pointing out that Matt Gaetz almost certainly trafficked children is "lol you mad?"

About... child rape?

Yes?

More to the point... why aren't you?!

[Heather Martin Guy @HeatherMGuy]

@PCee52 I did this weekend. It’s fantastic. Hope to see you there.
