one thing about ICE and CBP is that both know they will never be prosecuted no matter what they do

You can say Merry Protein again

stepped outside for a vibe check and saw a beast fuckin hauling ass towards Bethlehem

It’s becoming increasingly hard to tell the difference between ICE operating in Minnesota and the FSB operating in Russia. It all makes much more sense when you think about it. Here is the FSB in Russia:

the more people are fedposting the safer fedposting is

Yes. This is why they released the Ross cell phone footage. They want to make sure we know that they will kill us if we disrespect them.

crazy that Jerome Powell has more respect for his office and institutional independence than basically every university board in the country

Trump’s America, you get executed for disrespecting ICE, Fed Chairs get threatened with criminal indictments if they don’t lower interest rates, and our closest allies for decades are threatened with invasion. We are in a dark place, a place some of us very much expected.

Apparently Exxon won't have the privilege of having their stuff nationalized a third time in Venezuela bc Darren Woods told the truth at what was meant to be a performed loyalty session. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Trump’s line is that disrespect to law enforcement is punishable by death. Impeach and remove. This is not tolerable.

JUST IN: A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to restore $12 million in grants to the American Academy of Pediatrics, saying the terminations appear to be retaliation for the group's view points re: vaccine safety/efficacy. ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...

“If we need to”…. You fucking need to.

"Didn't you learn from what just happened?" = "Don't you know that we can and very well may murder you?"

some of these guys feel that they're showing remarkable restraint by passing up murders they're entitled to commit

The internet used to be fun. We all had our little niche GeoCities and Angelfire pages, wrote on LiveJournal and it was a good time. I miss it.

there are *so* many people who cower before trump's threats, and jerome fucking powell is out here on youtube going, "all of this is corrupt horseshit, they're doing it because i won't bail them out, they're all liars"

What can history teach us about what happens when a populist strongman with an idiosyncratic taste for low interest rates undermines central bank independence?

Hard to overstate what a remarkable statement this is from a Republican senator — even a retiring one — accusing thte Trump White House of weaponizing DOJ to control the Fed: "It is now the independence and credibility of the Department of Justice that are in question."

Tillis is spot on. The Senate can't confirm a Trump toady to succeed Powell at the Fed. The rest of the game is now out in the open, and it doesn't end well.

KO'ing everyone's 401k the week they started bragging about murdering citizens in the street on camera is the behavior of people who are on actual drugs. Not metaphorically, it's the behavior of people with underlying mental illness on uppers and steroids who are starting to feel cornered.

i think powell's response here is a demonstration of the folly of the idea that democratic accountability requires presidential control. what if the president is not acting in the public interest? you want independent agencies to be able to push back and pursue their *congressional mandate*

hi, political philosopher here! this is not funny, central banks only do this when they're in extreme distress

This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.

This is quick and easy and another way to delete your Hilton Honors account.

Hey if you want us to believe you care at all you Amy you should probably stop voting for Trump nominees

NYT is going with the "escalate" news hook on Powell. ¶¶1-3: Escalate ¶4: Unlike Joe BIden, Trump did an interview with us ¶¶5-6: Powell message ¶7: Bondi insinuating A FUCKING RENOVATION is an abuse ¶8++: Legal analysis www.nytimes.com/2026/01/11/u...

TWO. Two chances this Supreme Court had to make the right call. One was the simply call January 6 what it was: An insurrection. Even the liberal justices couldn’t do that. The other was to not make sham and politically-motivated investigations an “official act.” And here we fucking are.

It's so cool how they made King Charles I 2, the exact nightmare of the founding generation real

Have you ever been mocked by a woman? Wanted to kill her? President Trump thinks you are ICE material.

this isn't immigration enforcement, this is kidnapping and assault punishable by jail time

whether we are able to treat it as such in roughly three years will go a long way towards determining if this is the last time we have to endure this

personally I would end the career of every single elected democrat if it meant I wasn't watching this with a young family in 2033

I liked him in Falling Skies, before it was cool. Posers

Evidence of the Lidice massacre was used by prosecutors in the Nuremburg trials, and I hope that this confession of premeditated and unwarranted extrajudicial executions will similarly help to bring these murderers and their superiors to justice one day.

There it is - they're making any resistance into a capital crime

Disrespect is now punishable by death.

and yet, here we are

if we could figure out how to harness the energy of corpses spinning in their graves, the resulting corpse turbine of the framers could power at least 68% of the united states at this point

people will say the framers never could have predicted this, but that's not true at all, they absolutely *did* expect someone like trump, they thought congress would *stop* him, and they thought they made that clear

And they may well be right yet

I deeply appreciate the Conservative Republicans who have understood that cross-partisan action is now required for the sake of our country.

Why Axios is reporting anything from a known serial liar that begins with "Trump says", is my question. Do better, @axios.com

So the manic, world-ending energy is being propelled by Miller, right? This first 11 days of the new year feels out of character even for him

I have never been more convinced he's not going to live to the end of his term and all the viziers know it

WARNING St. Paul: We are still receiving reports of door-to-door operations in the area. Tonight is a night to look out for your neighbors and check in on one another.

It is shameful that we have to talk about the President of the United States this way. But it is who he is. He is behaving exactly the way you would expect a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist who was granted immunity by John Roberts to behave. Know your enemy.

He is dangerous in the same way that a cornered, rabid raccoon is dangerous. He is looking for points of weakness where he can escape. Stay focused on the reasons why the walls are closing in. Don't flinch when he froths at the mouth.

Let's be clear. Donald Trump will indict the Fed Chair, kidnap foreign leaders and kill American citizens in MN if it distracts you from asking WTF is in the Epstein files because HIS BASE doesn't like pedophiles. None of this is normal. But everything he does is from weakness right now.
