Country over politics

MAGA mama takes license plate photo to send ICE of door dash driver who's not speaking English—"You're taking away our jobs!" "You're illegal... why are you entitled to be here with a illegal car?" woman yells. "Go speak your language back in Mexico!" She seems to be confused about exactly who she hates—the driver asks her if she is an "Islamophobe"—yet she continues to tell her to "go back to Mexico." The incident occurred in a fast food parking lot in Flower Mound, Texas—about 20 miles northwest of downtown Dallas. #DemsUnited

Funny how he looks like what traitors in the GOP would call a DEI hire 🙄 "In July 2025, the acting director of the nation’s civilian cyberdefense agency [Madhu Gottumukkala] walked into a secure facility for a counterintelligence polygraph and did not pass. Five current officials and one former official later confirmed this to Politico. Then, he took it again. He did not pass the second time either. Within days of the first result, the employees who had arranged the examination and done nothing more than follow the security requirements of the originating intelligence agency received letters suspending their access to classified information. The acting director kept his badge, but the staffers who enforced the rules lost theirs. Madhu Gottumukkala arrived as acting director in May 2025, installed by Secretary Kristi Noem. His career had moved from Motorola and Verizon consulting to Samsung engineering to a CTO post at CallHealth in Hyderabad, then to Sanford Health, then to South Dakota state government as CIO. None of those roles required navigating the culture or methods of the intelligence community. Dakota State University — where Gottumukkala completed his PhD and later joined the advisory board — holds all three NSA Center of Academic Excellence designations and hosts an on-campus SCIF. To whoever placed him, that combination may have read as a credential. The substantive career remained in civilian IT and healthcare. Within weeks of his arrival, in his first major intelligence briefing, he asked what threats the U.S. faced from the Southern border and India — a country that has never been considered a significant cyber adversary, while Russia and China were actively targeting American networks. “Typically, India would be the last place we’d be talking about,” said one official who was in the room. He also, within weeks of arrival, began pressing for access to a Controlled Access Program — among the most restricted intelligence compartments in existence, established only when ordinary Special Access Programs are insufficient, governed by the Director of National Intelligence, with entry conditions set by the originating agency. A senior career official denied the first request: there was no operational need, and his predecessor had never sought the same access. That official was subsequently placed on administrative leave. A second request, signed personally by Gottumukkala, went forward. His signature acknowledged the counterintelligence polygraph requirement mandated by the originating agency. Career staff arranged the examination. In late July 2025, he took the polygraph. He did not pass. He took it again. He did not pass again. According to the March 13, 2026 congressional letter led by Rep. James Walkinshaw (VA-11) and signed by four colleagues — citing information provided to House Homeland Security Committee staff by one of the suspended employees — Gottumukkala failed two counter-intelligence scope polygraphs required for access to the program. The letter was addressed to the inspectors general of DHS and the Intelligence Community. Two failures. The same program. At an agency whose statutory mission is protecting federal networks from adversaries." The Architecture of Erasure open.substack.com/pub/hackingbut…

MAGA: “No more drag queen shows. We will picket, protest and shut you down.” ALSO MAGA: Here’s Ryan Woods as Lady MAGA USA, a conservative activist who’s appeared in drag at multiple CPAC events, including this year’s conference at the Gaylord Texan Resort in Grapevine, Texas.

@rshereme @RepBrendanBoyle What a self own, Trump has admitted to using an auto pen therefore he has admitted to being incapacitated. 25th admendment anyone ?

Trump to children: “And Biden used an autopen — he was so incapacitated that he couldn’t even sign himself.” What a morally deprived man. To use children for his verbal vengeance is just the lowest you can go.

The United Kingdom will refuse to allow the United States to use its airbases, particularly RAF Fairford and Diego Garcia which long-range strategic bombers with the U.S. Air Force have previously utilized on a case-by-case basis to carry out strikes on Iran, for missions that target Iranian bridges, power plants, or other civilian infrastructure, citing concerns that such strikes could harm civilians and constitute war crimes, senior officials tell The i Paper.

Absolute insanity. Donald Trump casually admits he ordered the destruction of the biggest civilian bridge in Iran purely because real estate developers Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff told him to. American foreign policy is being run by corrupt amateurs.

🚨BREAKING: A new lawsuit filed Monday by the Republican National Committee (RNC) seeks to strip voting access from a group of U.S. citizens living abroad. It’s the GOP’s latest move in its growing campaign against overseas voters. \ democracydocket.com/news-alerts/in…

Because Vance is a living node in a Russia-funded propaganda machine; everyone should please notice that there is nothing American about having to fly to a foreign country to try to influence its election so that your own career can continue as planned.

This November Democrats will win a Senate majority for the first time in over a decade 🟦 🌊 thehill.com/homenews/campa…

Nonprofits run out of US Border Patrol stations are also selling other “operation”-themed coins that include a phrase popularized by the Proud Boys, potentially in violation of government rules. wired.com/story/us-borde…

Californians start voting in 29 days. 2 NYC billionaires are trying to buy this race with intimidation & lies. Donald Trump is weaponizing the FBI against us as Tom Steyer & supporters lie to voters. We’ve already beaten Steyer & Co. in the courts. We’ll win & bring a NEW CA!

Spending the most in Ohio says something about their view of the map.

One year after President Trump announced his now-illegal “Liberation Day” tariffs, he marked the anniversary by signing executive orders adjusting duties as Democratic critics slammed economic fallout from Trump’s trade policies ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/04/03/rep…

"The fact is that Trump deserves to be impeached and convicted for his behavior in his second term. The misconduct of Trump, in terms of his corruption and his associates, is unparalleled in our history. His abuses of power leave Nixon in the dust." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwark…

Trump could appoint two more Supreme Court justices—cementing a Court that could threaten our rights and favor billionaires over everyone else for decades to come. It’s time to ring the alarm bell and push back by holding Trump and Congressional Republicans accountable in the midterm elections. nytimes.com/2026/04/03/us/…

Social Security holds data on over 500M Americans, living and dead. Federal law restricts its use to one mission: ensuring you receive your earned benefits. ❌Not to deport your neighbor. ❌Not to enrich Elon Musk and train his AI. ❌Not to keep you from your right to vote.

Two-thirds of all pardons since 2001 went to people who invaded the Capitol, including 169 people charged with beating cops and 174 who stormed its grounds with a deadly weapon. Some went on to get new convictions: possession of child porn, even reckless homicide. motherjones.com/politics/2026/…

JPM's Michael Cembalest: In the ~160 years after the Civil War, US presidents fired 11 four- and five-star military officers. In Trump's first 14 months, the White House has fired 9 of them.

Remember Utah: two million voters checked; one non-citizen registration, zero non-citizen votes. Remember Kansas: in 19 years, 67 non-citizen registration attempts; 31,000 Kansans blocked from voting by law passed for the phony “crisis.” reuters.com/world/democrat…

Three months after Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene resigned from Congress following a public rift with President Donald Trump, voters in the northwest Georgia congressional district she once represented will pick a replacement to serve out the remainder of her term. to.pbs.org/4sOcmMS
