Tonight, after a year of screaming about holding ICE accountable, 144 House Democrats joined 203 Republicans to pass CORCA, a bill that grants DHS and ICE sweeping new power to collect American citizens' personal information under the guise of combating retail theft.

MADDOW: “Williamson County still has a Confederate flag on their county seal — but they’ll have JUST the right size of a slice of Black voters in MEMPHIS to make sure they can never elect a member of Congress of their choosing again… this really is Jim Crow 2.0.”

They wiped out medical workers in Gaza. Now they're wiping out medical workers in Lebanon. And much of the Western media doesn't appear to consider it worthy of headline news.

Can't stop thinking about Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive worth $828 billion, spending $290 million to elect Trump, becoming $563 billion richer since Trump was elected and ending humanitarian aid that will lead to the deaths of 4.5 million of the poorest kids on the planet.

The US government already has a ballroom just down the street. The Andrew Mellon Auditorium is less than a mile away from the White House is beautiful and accommodates more people than the new ballroom will and is owned by the U.S. Government.

Many bus routes in LA run so frequently, even on weekends. The longest I ever waited for a bus was about 20 mins.

Here in Rhode Island, if you miss the Route 21 bus to Warwick, you’ll have to wait an hour for the next one. Miss the Route 33 to Riverside? Another 40-min. wait.😞

@the_transit_guy That sucks. Wish the government spent that $25 billion on that instead of bombing Iran.

@the_transit_guy technically/legally a separate company, but i would agree that questions will arise as to whether it would be able to meet its debt obligations on tix alone, even assuming some sponsorship deals from casinos & the like

@SwinkMcCloud @the_transit_guy they won't need THAT many grade seps for blw, but still will be a lot of construction on what will ultimately be a neutered line.

[American Veteran @amvetsupport]

This is why thousands of Vietnam vets despise trump. A draft dodging coward who builds monuments to himself, not to our nation’s heroes who died for this country. This monument to a spineless draft evader cannot be built

@JohnDCain @AmusedToDeath1 memories of survivors of traumatic events are often a bit unreliable & plenty of other accts, incl from more official ppl, stated that it didn't break. thus, it's not surprising that the claim would be questioned.

The Israel Defense Force has confirmed the authenticity of a photo showing an Israeli Soldier smashing a statue of Jesus Christ in Southern Lebanon, adding that “appropriate measures will be taken against those involved” under the IDF Northern Command.

At a middle school basketball game in Southwest Virginia the opposing team showed up to their opponent’s Gym and waved Confederate flags while yelling racial slurs. The home team has mostly black players on it. Remember these are just middle schoolers doing this crap!
