BREAKING: Video shows ICE using a new tactic of dismissing immigration cases – including for innocent people – then immediately arresting people outside of the courtroom. This is sickening.

One might have thought that last November, when Missourians voted to enshrine “reproductive freedom" in the state constitution, that would have been the end of the conversation. Alas, the Missouri Supreme Court doesn’t seem to be inclined to listen. This week, the court halted abortions.

If Kilmar Abrego Garcia had been a reality show star convicted of fraud and tax evasion he’d be out of jail by now

Nothing speaks to the current state of Christianity more than the fact that atheists can give Pope Francis credit for trying to follow the teachings of Jesus while “Christians” like Marjorie Taylor Greene celebrate his death because he challenged her to do the same.

Bondi declares war on the courts: "What has happened to our judiciary is beyond me ... they are deranged ... we are sending a very strong message today ... we will come after you and we will prosecute you. We will find you."

Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

But I thought Trump could end it within 24 hours?

They had lawyers, trials, most were given pretrial release, allowed to testify in their own defense, got discovery, could call witnesses, could cross-examine witnesses, could present mitigation at sentencing, and had a right to appeal.

Tip for the day If you notice ICE in the area open up the Waze and report icy conditions. It'll alert everyone in the area using the app

They are obviously slow learners

THREAD: Under a new law, thousands of prisoners in Louisiana have been cut off from ever getting a chance at parole. Why? Because an algorithm said so. 1/

It seems EVERYONE has surrendered to Trump, company wise. Retail outlets to law firms to social media moguls. The opening scene of Ming's Court in the 1980's Flash Gordon springs to mind. Everyone bowing and paying Ming a tribute.

In three months, we went from global economic powerhouse to pariah. Our tragedy is made entirely in the USA. By one man. Donald Trump.

He just testified all morning about the reasons why the tariff policy was going to make America great. Then he checked his phone and realized everything he just said was canceled on Truth Social.

As a criminal defense attorney, the vast majority of my cases were NOT immigrants. So let's stop pretending immigrants are the problem when there's a 34-count convicted felon sitting in the White House. The hypocrisy is outrageous.

Who better to lead a counterterrorism center than someone who has aided and supported the right-wing paramilitary movement?

Great description

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

The Keystone pipeline system, which carries crude oil from Canada to the U.S., was shut down on Tuesday because of a leak that spilled an estimated 3,500 barrels of oil in southeastern North Dakota, government and company officials said.

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

What about the kkk, proud boys, oath keepers, militias etc? 🤔 Hmmm

Effective immediately, the government says it will begin screening immigrant social media for activity that officials think indicates support for antisemitism.

Think about how much of an entitled prick you’d have to be to think calling other human beings “peasants” when you’re the Vice President is an ok thing to do. The world’s worst diplomat strikes again. Also: we don’t borrow money from them. That is nonsense.

It’s well known that I was on The Apprentice. We were all covered by NDAs at the time, but mine has now expired. And do I ever have some tea to spill. I’ll post it later today after consulting once again with my attorneys.

Trump was never joking about a third term — he’s simply socializing the idea as the final step in taking total control over our government. Trump is implementing Project 2025 to become a dictator like Putin. It is time we all open our eyes to what is happening.

WORLD-FIRST: Ground-breaking research published today in the Ornithologist Journal has, for the first time, translated common UK bird vocalisations into equivalent phrases in the human language. The results tell us a lot! Extracts below... 🧵

Here's a juicy thought: Since emails and passwords were found for that inept lying loser klan, that means their emails were almost certainly hacked. Access to their emails. Can you imagine? 😱 Can't wait! 🍿

Raskin: I call on my colleagues to take down the wanted posters with judges’ faces on them outside of offices in House office buildings

Quite shocking how true this is! They get upset over: Obama in a tan suit Michelle's sleeveless dresses Biden's aviator glasses Obama saluting marines with a coffecup Hillary wearing pantsuits Kamala dancing & laughing But let's just ignore sexual abuse by Trump, Gaetz, Ziegler etc. No biggie!

If you are in Houston, Congressman Al Green is having a citizenship and rights meeting tomorrow.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he will continue to revoke visas for “people that are supportive of movements that run counter to the foreign policy of the United States.” This is new. And it doesn’t feel like freedom

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

BREAKING: A federal judge has issued a restraining order against Kari Lake and the Trump administration barring the cancelation of funding for Radio Free Europe. The decision to terminate, the judge says, appears to violate the law/congressional intent. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

🔑 under-discussed point — why they were on signal:

I'm Kat Abughazaleh and I'm running for Congress.

Collins: Do you think someone should be fired over this? Buttigieg: Absolutely… if there’s not accountability for a screw up like this, especially from a president who used to fire people on television for sport, what are we even doing here..

First off, Pete Hegseth is a disgrace and should be fired. Second, instead of being an asshole and trash-talking the journalist, he should be thanking him for not posting anything top-secret that’s still to come.

I am truly terrified for Hamdan. If you don’t know who Hamdan Ballal is, he is the director of No Other Land and he and Yuval both won the Oscar for Best Documentary this year

Reporter: Can you share how your information about war plans was shared with a journalist? Hegseth: So you are talking about a deceitful and highly discredited so-called journalist who has made a profession of peddling hoaxes

‼️‼️

Any member of the military who did what they did on signal would be kicked out or arrested.

So…lock them up?
