MAGA: “If you’re here legally, you have nothing to worry about.”
Also MAGA: “Just comply and show your ID.”
The reality:
A U.S. citizen. Born in Colorado. Mother of four. Stopped in Lafayette, Louisiana. Shackled. Detained in an ICE facility anyway.
She showed agents her state-issued ID and Social Security card. ICE reportedly called them “fake,” handcuffed her, chained her ankles, interrogated her, and transported her to a detention center. She was released hours later only after legal intervention.
The lesson is not “show your papers.”
The lesson is that papers don’t protect you when power decides not to read them.
This is not “law and order.”
This is state abuse.

Tillis: "To call Paxton 'ethically challenged' is to call Jeffrey Dahmer suffering from an eating disorder. He's gonna be an anchor on our caucus"

I didn’t know about the earliest origin of Memorial Day until I was a grown-ass man, and it’s because some folks didn’t want us to.
In 2021, organizers at an Ohio Memorial Day ceremony muted retired Army Lt. Col. Barnard Kemter for nearly two minutes the moment he began discussing how formerly enslaved Black Americans exhumed the remains of Union soldiers to give them proper burials.

Biden was not president
when Trump's tax returns were leaked
Trump was
the lying by Republicans like Mike Lawler is utterly shameless
Face The Nation@FaceTheNation
When asked about the recent settlement that prevents the IRS from auditing any Trump family tax records, Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) says President Trump “obviously had claims that he brought against the government as a result of” the Biden administration. “I think when it comes to any agreements that the president has made with the IRS, from my vantage point, you know, I think looking back at what the Biden administration did,” he says. “They certainly weaponized the government and were targeting the president.”

Russia is losing on the battlefield and in the Black Sea. Its economy is in tatters. All it can do is bomb Ukrainian cities and civilians. This is why we must pass Russian sanctions and military aid to Ukraine. The House will vote on this in two weeks.

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”

The Department of Justice is acknowledging it has removed from its website news releases about criminal cases related to the Jan. 6, 2021, riot, calling the information about the prosecutions “partisan propaganda.” abcnews.link/A8W2vOT

Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.
They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.
France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend

Generation after generation, men and women put on the uniform knowing the risk — and went anyway knowing they might not come home. Knowing their families would carry that for the rest of their lives.
To the families still carrying that weight — I see you. The pain doesn’t go away, but neither does the pride.
Freedom has never been guaranteed. It has to be earned, defended, and sometimes paid for in the hardest way imaginable. Today on Memorial Day, we stop, we slow down, and we remember those who did.
We honor them.
We thank them.
And we work hard to live up to what they died for. Keep the democracy they believed in worth believing in. That is the ultimate tribute for their sacrifice.

A soulless evil husk of a “man”

Trump says the Presidential Medal of Freedom is “much better” than the Congressional Medal of Honor because the Medal of Honor is for people who are “in very bad shape because they've been hit so many times by bullets or they're dead” while the Medal of Freedom is for “healthy, beautiful” people

They’re not coming after @SPLCenter DESPITE their work to protect the rights of Black voters. They’re coming after it BECAUSE of it.
Wednesday’s hearing did not fool us. This is a campaign to deny racism is real & civil rights are necessary. We won’t back down.

An unexploded Russian drone, carrying over 50 kg of explosives, was neutralized after striking and becoming lodged in a 24-story residential building in Odesa.
A National Police bomb disposal expert manually disarmed and removed the drone’s warhead from the wall on the 15th floor, after which it was transported for controlled destruction.

🚨 The Trump DOJ has now moved to dismiss the seditious conspiracy case against Oath Keepers founder Elmer Stewart Rhodes III and several other Oath Keepers who participated in the January 6th insurrection — with prejudice — meaning the charges cannot be brought again.

Shapiro: I was shocked when we discovered that within minutes of presenting ourselves as individuals who were in distress, this chatbot began dispensing medical advice.
When pressed further, the chatbot indicated that it was indeed a licensed medical professional in Pennsylvania. And when pressed further, it said, “Hey, here’s my medical ID number.”
That is against the law in Pennsylvania, and so we took action.

How did I only just discover that Don Jr is marrying the daughter of a prominent Epstein enabler?
Her late dad, a banker, wrote Epstein a reference letter calling him "a gentleman of the highest integrity" to help get him tax breaks &… his island.
Can’t make this stuff up.

Ukraine needs patriot interceptors in exchange for their drone interceptors.
UKraine is now the heavyweight of Europe, the sooner they defeat Russia, the sooner all western militaries can focus on modernizing with their help.
They have the cards for future war
