This is FALSE. ICE data showed DHS averaging 1,259 deportations/day through April 4. There is ZERO sign deportations rose by 154% since.
Mullin also mixes up DHS's (also FALSE) claim that 70% arrested have any criminal record at all, and claims that 70% are felons. Wildly wrong.

i have been thinking about this a lot. my "left-wing" ideas about government reform mostly amount to trying to make the federal government conform with the vision in the constitution: a strong, active and majoritarian congress
one thing that I find remarkable is that it is surprisingly left/radical coded in some spaces to think that Congress needs institutional reform in order to allow for more functional government
This is a less charitable version of what @sharonk.bsky.social was saying earlier, but if you don’t like a Congress where it’s all about vibes and posturing, you should support efforts to make Congress a functional legislative body again.

the next democratic president and congress should revive the idea of world's fairs. the idea behind this would be great if it hadn't been planned and executed by a group of incompetent groyper shitbags
Opening day of the Great American State Fair drew light crowds, long walks, and mixed reactions from visitors. Here's what it was like inside the America 250 event.

GW never said this and neither did anybody else. The only official symbolism in the Flag Resolution is the stars are "representing a new constellation." The rest is just an iteration on the Red Ensign, and likely the East India Company's white stripes on it. The colors have no particular meaning.

NEW: Regulators have linked Mark McAfee’s raw dairy farm to more than a dozen recalls and outbreaks that left hundreds of people ill.
“I’ve put a couple kids in the hospital,” McAfee said. “But here’s the thing: I’m a pioneer.”

He Profits Off Raw Milk That's Making People Sick. The Government Isn't Stopping Him.
With Raw Farm, the largest raw-milk dairy in the country, Mark McAfee has capitalized on a once-fringe product that's been thrust into the mainstream in recent years and backed by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

It's crazy how we have both the World Cup and America 250 this year, and almost no one cares about them because this regime has wholly sucked the joy out of even momentous national events.

In case you haven’t heard, certain MAGA types are outraged that Helen of Troy is played by a black actress in the Odyssey blockbuster, when obviously a human child hatched from an egg fathered by a goose who was secretly the god of thunder could not be black, that would be ridiculous

My latest @nytimes.com oped shows that the White House is dramatically understating the cost of the war in Iran.
By my calculations—and I show my work—this war will cost the typical American family thousands, and it could cost them tens of thousands.
