- Reposted by Cranky YankeeMinnesota has now been turned into a war zone by a federal government that has lost sight of the values that make America great. We must impeach Kristi Noem and abolish ICE.
- Reposted by Cranky YankeeThis is damning. The Treasury Secretary just admitted that it's "up to the President" whether the DOJ sues or investigates Warsh if he fails to follow Trump's direction at the Fed. They're saying it out loud - Trump will only accept a sock puppet as the head of the Fed.

- Reposted by Cranky YankeeIf Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.
- Reposted by Cranky YankeeWhen you’re asked to explain lawless actions. Every cabinet Secy is just making it up as they go along w/the sole goal of doing Trump’s will, leaving the next cabinet member to stumble around trying to make lawlessness make sense.
- Reposted by Cranky YankeeTrump's big, ugly budget megabill gives ICE more agents than the FBI, more jails than the federal Bureau of Prisons, and a larger budget than most countries' militaries. Not one more penny for ICE.

- Reposted by Cranky YankeeStephen Miller, Trump’s Deputy Chief of Staff and puppet master, is complaining about unelected judges making rulings he doesn’t like. Funny, I don’t recall Stephen Miller getting elected to any office. He didn’t even have to be nominated and confirmed for his position. Pot. Kettle. Black.
- Reposted by Cranky Yankee🚨 #GVerse #BreakingNews: Ted Lieu says #Shit4Brains appears thousands of times in the Epstein files. He says the allegations in those records are “highly disturbing” and demand full accountability. Ted Lieu is a FUCKING SAVAGE!
- Reposted by Cranky YankeeWe are NOT moving on from the Epstein files.
- Reposted by Cranky YankeeI expected the cuts would be bad but I'm honestly stunned and sickened seeing how many great journalists the Washington Post just lost. People who nailed huge investigations, documented war zones, exposed horrific crimes, dropped all at once for failures they did not cause.
- Reposted by Cranky YankeeThere is a huge amount of new information in the new Epstein files, but so much of what people are passing around as astounding and new is in old #OpDeathEaters threads from ten plus years ago. Imagine what would’ve been avoided if this had all been publicly investigated in 2014.
- The objective of #OpDeathEaters is an independent, international, victim-led tribunal and inquiry into trafficking and paedosadist industry.

- Reposted by Cranky YankeeLike any bully, Trump is fundamentally a coward. When he feels humiliated, he lashes out. Every authoritarian action he is taking must be understood against the backdrop of his declining popularity. He feigns strength, but he's operating from a place of weakness.
- Reposted by Cranky YankeeTom Homan: “You’re not going to stop ICE. You’re not going to stop border patrol” Ilhan Omar: “Abolish ICE. There’s no reforming it. There’s no compromise. There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it”
- Reposted by Cranky YankeeDamn right we object to Donald Trump’s attempt to take over our nation’s central bank. All 11 Democrats on @banking.senate.gov are clear: until the sham criminal investigations into Fed Board members are closed, we must not move forward on any Fed nominee.
- Reposted by Cranky YankeeI've heard from people in other cities "I'd like to see them try that in __!" No. No, you wouldn't. We have guns pointed in our faces in MN. I think you'd change your tune if this was happening to you, your family & your neighbors. Nobody knows EXACTLY how to do this. This is NEW to all of US.

- Reposted by Cranky YankeeWOW: State leaders say NH Governor Kelly Ayotte lied about her knowledge of ICE's plan to build a giant human warehouse in the state. Documents obtained by @aclu-nh.bsky.social show the state government has known for weeks about the Merrimack facility bc ICE is actively pursuing legal approval.

- Reposted by Cranky YankeeDid you know that during the collapse of the Soviet Union, its treasury was looted of billions? The funny part is, those Soviets who ran off with the money all somehow ended up in Israel and New York. Some even bailed out a certain someone when his casinos were failing.
- Reposted by Cranky YankeeDespite the ongoing death and suffering in Gaza, it's fallen out of the news. So today, @thenation.com is devoting its full website to stories from Gaza, written by reporters who have been there. Very proud of the magazine today. www.thenation.com/article/worl...

- Reposted by Cranky Yankeehappening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.
- Reposted by Cranky YankeeDonald Trump said today that "Republicans should say, we want to take over. We should take over the voting." My life's work is to prevent that from happening.

- Reposted by Cranky YankeeI’d just like to point out that American democracy is being torched because a bunch of rich, mediocre white men couldn’t figure out how to get laid on their own or, more disgustingly, couldn’t keep their pants on around children. And we treat them as superior. Why?

- Reposted by Cranky YankeeI know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home. But did you look at the judge's order? It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept." Link to pdf: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
