BRUSUELAS: At $125 per barrel, $4.25 per gallon of gasoline and 4% inflation, the U.S. economy “will feel the pain quickly ..
“.. a risk that .. will negate the fiscal tailwind we were expecting from the One Big Beautiful Bill ..”

FYI—we've watched Dodge County jail transport officers at Broadview before, this is a known connection point for ICE detainees:
My best friend’s sister, who CBP has been telling us different stories all day about, her phone just got turned back on. She is a US citizen born in Evanston. They said she was never detained at O’Hare after telling us she was, they said she was not transferred to Broadview, and now she's in a detention facility in WI.
🚨 My best friend’s sis, who CBP has been telling us different stories all day about, phone just got turned back on. US citizen born in Evanston. They said she was never detained at O’Hare after telling us she was, said she was not transferred to Broadview, now she's in a detention facility in WI.😡

Nothing is adding up.
We need answers and NOW.
I'll be at the press conference at noon.

It's the middle of the night in Chicago. Reporters and electeds are trying to figure out why a US citizen was detained by CBP, why her phone was inside an ICE detention center tonight, and where she is now.
Also unclear what happened to the other five people she was detained with at O'Hare airport.
Everyone: But but Noem wasn't really fired. Explain this to me like I'm five!

Kinda sucks that the horrors of the Trump era go quiet one by one, not because they stop, but because people scramble to protect themselves, and adapt, and prioritize, and that sounds like healing but it's just muted survival in the craters of neverending abuse.
Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.
They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.
Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.
Watch how they vote this week.
Trans ppl under attack from the govt could be identified and outed w/o their consent.
Undocumented immigrants would be cut off from the ability to communicate w advocates.
Young ppl seeking abortions won't be able to access info safely and anonymously.
This is what congress is advancing today 👇🏻
Exactly
Jacobs: The Trump administration doesn’t give a shit about the Iranian people… They are literally deporting people back to Iran who fled the brutal Iranian regime.
He doesn’t care about human rights anywhere — not here in the United States, not in Iran, not anywhere else.
MASSIE: “Iran is not Venezuela. The Ayatollah was not a president. He was a religious leader… 🇺🇸 & 🇮🇱 turned him into a martyr, expended billions, 6 🇺🇸 families must now lay to rest their sons & daughters. And for what? This administration can't even give us a straight answer.”
Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, Kristi Noem.
An unarmed Iranian ship was invited, along with the U.S., to be part of an Indian Naval exercise. The U.S. at the last minute pulled out of the exercise and instead attacked the Iranian ship with a torpedo

I feel like the one thing most everyone can agree on is that nothing Trump and Hegseth say can be trusted, from casualty figures to claims that Iran is begging for a negotiation, from the prospective timeline of the war to whether either man gives a shit about the Iranian people
Kristi Noem going out praising herself for her courageous public service when all she did was steal our money and lie to America and brutalize the vulnerable and screw her boyfriend is pretty much the exit from DHS I expected of her
It is very important she eventually go to prison

The SAVE Act isn’t about voter ID.
It is a weapon aimed at voter registration.
No passport? No birth certificate in your hand?
You are shut out. Women, students, military families, low income Americans get hit first. Republicans know it.
