BREAKING: Moody’s has DOWNGRADED the United States’ credit rating from Aaa to Aa1 — the first-ever U.S. credit downgrade in the agency’s history.
“We do not believe that material multi-year reductions in mandatory spending and deficits will result from current fiscal proposals under consideration.”
After watching the Newark ICE video, it occurred to me that we were watching the kidnapping of a public official by masked, unmarked gestapo. Scary stuff.
THE PENTAGON BUDGET JUST HIT A TRILLION DOLLARS.
Not a single pundit from either political party said “how are we going to pay for it?!”
Don’t dare tell us we cannot ALL have healthcare, housing, and education.
This story just gets worse and worse
This is not ‘immigration policy’—this is a white supremacist regime targeting Latino bodies. No due process. No justice. Just abduction, torture, and lies in court.
The stats prove immigrants are more law-abiding. So why the terror campaign? Because they’re brown.

Stop calling them “deportations.” Deportation requires due process of law and simply removes the person from our country.
These people were abducted, trafficked, and enslaved in a concentration camp.
NEW from @joshgerstein.bsky.social: You’ve heard of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Now meet the second man erroneously deported to El Salvador in violation of a legal settlement: Daniel Lozano-Camargo.
Until now, he’d only been identified by a pseudonym in court. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...
Emily Feiner being dragged out of Mike Lawler’s town hall for asking a question
“I’m just an old Jewish woman, I’m not leaving”
I often wonder when I see images like these what Norman Rockwell would have painted in this era, when all Four Freedoms are being decimated in real time
When the President of the United States says he doesn’t know if he should uphold the Constitution, it should be a searing red line for every American.
If you let him ignore ANY aspect of the Constitution you embolden him to ignore more of it, including the parts that secure YOUR freedoms & rights.
A commenter on the MeidasTouch YouTube channel has a suggestion
Crockett: Instead of the President cosplaying as the next pope, he may want to cosplay as an actual President of these United States. That means he may have to do a little bit of research and understand that he swore a an oath to defend and protect the constitution.
More like Jabba than anything else.
Republicans: It’s not guns that’s the problem behind school shootings, it’s MENTAL HEALTH!
Also Republicans: <defund school mental health>
‘Kennedy told reporters that there were "many, many good ways to treat measles and doctors need to know that and to know those methods.’
One problem; there is no treatment for measles. Signed, a doctor who’s been forced to deal with measles because of this stupid fraud.
Tommy Tuberville says his wife's homestead exemption established his residency in Alabama, but election records show both of them voted in Florida after that. And that's only the beginning.
Federal workers SAVE the government money, that’s why firing them is COSTING the government money. This isn’t difficult.
The so-called “moderate” GOP position on Medicaid cuts is no cuts above $500 billion.
Hello? That would mean 18 million children and 2 million adults with disabilities lose health care coverage, according to the latest estimates.
What’s “moderate” about that?

Judge Geoffrey Crawford cited the harm caused by Mahdawi’s two-week detention without any criminal charges. Mahdawi, who grew up in a Palestinian refugee camp, stated “And I am saying it, clear and loud, to President Trump and his cabinet, I’m not afraid of you.” His release is conditional, requiring him to stay in Vermont, except for school and attorney meetings in New York City.

The case of Mohsen Mahdawi, a lawful permanent resident, highlights a disturbing trend. Mahdawi's detention suggests this administration isn't truly concerned with criminality. Instead, it appears focused on targeting individuals, immigrant or not, deemed 'undesirable' based on their views or background."
