FYI: Dems in the senate can't defund ICE. ICE is funded by the Big Ugly Bill. Shutting down DHS on this vote wouldn't touch ICE, but it would shut down FEMA, TSA, Coast Guard, etc. Shutting down ICE requires taking back Congress in the midterms. Dismantling DHS requires the White House in 2028.

They warned us that if we voted for Kamala Harris we'd end up living in a police state. Well, I did vote for her, and we are living in a police state

Jim Jordan cuts off Jack Smith when he describes that they paid someone to analyze video evidence to show that people came directly from the Ellipse to attack the Capitol. Hope to hell some Dem follows up. [They can show it with Danny Rodriguez, who almost killed Michael Fanone.]

Blumenthal: "Americans should be terrified that this secret ICE policy authorizes agents to break down doors and ransack through their homes, arresting or detaining people without a judicial warrant"

If any other president had said this despicable thing, it would result in immediate retractions and clarifications, days of media speculation about his mental state, lots of international criticism, and the resignations on principle of some staffers in the White House and broader administration.

This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis. Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

To say what our government is doing is unconscionable greatly under states what’s happening?

AOC: The president has been acting in increasingly erratic ways. It is really damning when we think about the degree to which media outlets reported on Joe Biden, yet we are seeing behavior from Trump that is alarming and everyone is pretending this is normal.

There are now at least 100 House members signed on to our effort to impeach Kristi Noem. Where the hell are the rest of them? Let’s ask:

This new whistleblower report is on par with the Zelensky call - not just because it’s violative of law - but because they also tried to keep people from seeing it. I’ve been doing this for a long time and this is absolutely explosive news. Impeachable and criminal. Swift accountability must follow.

Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

Let’s remember he told us he would be a dictator, beginning on day one.

Crockett: "You only love enforcement when they're going after Black, brown, immigrants, that kind of folk. But on January 6, you didn't care about law enforcement."

Trump works for Russia which is why America now feels like Russia

McGovern: Well, he said a lot of crazy shit today. I think it’s time to take the keys away from grandpa. He doesn’t seem like he’s all there.

“He Can’t Do That” Is a Hope, Not a Strategy open.substack.com/pub/steadyst... "The question is are we prepared to respond when [Constitutional] limits are tested, ignored, or broken. History suggests that waiting until the law is fully cast aside is always too late."

There is a short reel where you can actually watch them set Orange up, and then Putin Responds. Putin looks very joyful. They took the bait and outted themselves as Traitors to the Country and the World.

Breaking...What's left of your presidents sanity.

Of course it was. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!

THIS 👇 IS A FACT.......

Immediate punishment for speaking out against the regime.

"Almost violently" is another way of saying "non-violently." They don't give out tickets for "almost speeding."

These numbers are a shitshow. The GOP knows they’re not sustainable, but they’re too afraid to actually do anything about it. That’s why you’re seeing so many of them resign. They understand what’s coming in the midterms.

I flew down to south Texas today to do my job - investigate why people are dying in ICE detention centers. I was just illegally denied entry to Dilley Detention Center. Because they have something to hide.

Anyone surprised? Feeding info to Putin? Today we read he’s invited Putin to serve on his peace team for Gaza? Translation Putin has the P tapes, Putin has the Epstein files!

BREAKING: Former John McCain Advisor Mark Salter: “He’s a madman, deranged by his insecurities and grievances and without a single good quality and he’s doing possibly irreparable harm to our security.” Who agrees?

The other day I bitched that people always forget LaMonica McIver in their list of politicized prosecutions. The New Yorker has a profile here, so hopefully we can change that. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Fairly sure it’s unintentional, but the end date on this mug being sold by the Smithsonian does make it sound a little like they’re saying America dies in 2026…

EXACTLY. Wake the fuck up already.

Gosh, if only there were a constitutional mechanism for removing a president who is mentally ill and unfit to hold office.

Have you noticed ICE is consistently using suppressors (silencers) on their rifles? Why are ICE agents using suppressors and battering rams to arrest old men and nonviolent people in broad daylight? This is for maximum effect imo.

Trump says he’s willing to go to war with NATO because he hasn’t won the Nobel Peace Prize. MAGA wants to submit all of our rights and power to an enormous, stupid baby.

Concentration camps are seldom concerned about deaths.

This is deeply disturbing, especially after reports of growing concerns about the conditions at this facility. An investigation must take place. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
