The GOP's amoral electoral strategy is clear: If you can't win the vote, steal the vote.

Americans need to do whatever is necessary to stop this criminal act in its tracks. We need to punish any MAGAT politicians who take part in this. Dem leaders must impress upon whomever listening that this would be the end of democracy. Any one in office who goes along with this must be impeached.

“Imagine if we had to follow the law”

Donald J Trump continues to try and appeal to the lowest common denominator, the least intellectually mature, the least informed, and the most gullible group of Americans. He continues to target those who wish to accept his blatant lies and who will accept them as factual.

@donlemonofficial.bsky.social's arrest & the threat to sue Trevor Noah are warnings to every journalist in America. The message from this administration is clear: cross us, and we'll come for you. I break down what this means for press freedom in my latest Substack article and video. Link in reply.

A federal judge in Washington, D.C. (Judge Jia M. Cobb) issued a new order blocking DHS from enforcing a policy that required Members of Congress to give seven days’ advance notice before visiting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facilities.

If you don’t like the way our leaders are leading, elect different leaders. This one’s on the voters (and non voters). Don’t like your choices in the general election? Become more active in the primaries to ensure that you will like your choices in the general election.

NO NATIONALIZED VOTING, DONALD. We have a Constitutional right to voting. Don’t get in our way, pedophile.

Three rules in FBI firearm training: 1. Always point your weapon downrange 2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot 3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like

He claims that the mistrust started before Kennedy proves that it wasn't caused by people like anti-vaxxers. Except that dog doesn't hunt. Kennedy is where he is BECAUSE they built so much mistrust in doctors over vaccines, starting with COVID. Mistrust is profitable.

The truth, the WHOLE truth & nothing but the truth. Yes, trust in medical professionals declined before RFK, jr was seated. But the reason was trump in his first term - his lies about Covid; his insane remedies; his attacks against Dr. Fauci. That’s the whole truth.

BERNIE SANDERS: Do vaccines cause autism? BHATTACHARYA: I do not believe that the measles vaccine causes autism SANDERS: Nah. Uh uh. I didn't ask measles. Do vaccines cause autism? BHATTACHARYA: I have not seen a study that suggests any single vaccine causes autism

In the 50's, the effective tax rate for the top 1% of taxpayers was approximately 42% to 45% when considering all federal, state, and local taxes. Let's go back to these. legalclarity.org +1

They want us working earlier and til we die to pay for their tax cuts for the rich. Supervillains.

He’s a constitutional lawyer. If I know about Abel, Coolidge, Shadwick, Payton, and Kidd - he certainly does.

Just want to say thank you to everyone who showed up for ICEOUT this weekend. All across the country (from small towns to big cities) people came out, even in the freezing cold. A lot of this was organized by everyday people in their own communities, and that matters.

If caring about *others* doesn't persuade your friend, try "Your silence won't protect you." Or this, with h/t to @jfallows.bsky.social: "We are no longer having a political debate. We are having a moral debate." Which is 100% true. We are way beyond "politics" here.

Elie Wiesel said "if you stay silent, you take the side of the oppressor".

Just trampling the Constitution

NOTE: when an immigration judge issues a final deportation order, the I-205 signed by an ICE officer allows ICE to detain that person for deportation, but it does not allow them to enter a home without consent. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/can-...

WRONG. I-205 administrative warrants are not issued by immigration judges. They’re signed by ICE officers. And EVEN IF THEY WERE issued by an immigration judge - they are executive branch employees, NOT judicial branch. JUDICIAL warrants are needed to enter a home without consent.

oh Lord, that awful smirk 😡

fti - "An administrative warrant is generally not sufficient to break down a door or enter a private home wo consent. These warrants are issued internally by immigration agencies, not by an independent judge or magistrate & do not provide the 4th Amendment authority required to breach a residence. "

An administrative warrant doesn't allow DHS to do what they're doing!!

Q: You're a constitutional lawyer. Can you detail the 4th Amendment protections someone has if ICE approaches their home w/an administrative warrant? MIKE JOHNSON: When ICE goes to execute a warrant, it's issued by an immigration judge, & that is a sufficient legal authority to go apprehend someone

I prefer it when he says he doesn't know anything about a subject. It's better than this BS that he is just making up as he is going along.

Golly gee, oh well. They got me again. What can I do about?

Last night, GOP Senator Rand Paul went on national TV to flatly reject DHS's lies about the Pretti execution: "My advice to [DHS], if they're watching: If you come into [our hearing] and try to justify that [Pretti] was assaulting a police officer, that cannot be acceptable."

Rather than "shoot first, ask questions later," Trump's DHS follows instructions to "shoot first, deny what happened." It should come as no surprise to anyone who has some sense of the reality of America under Trump that the DHS claims about shooting two dangerous criminals in Portland are false.

exactly. this is not difficult. as.ft.com/r/58ed1b23-d...

@EricMGarcia: What do you make of Kristi Noem calling Alex Pretti a domestic terrorist? AOC: Kristi Noem’s actions in Minnesota and her leadership on ICE in general are grounds for impeachment.

It is disgusting how Pamela Jo Bondi's Department of Justice works overtime to protect the perpetrators in Jeffrey Epstein's pedophilia enterprise but has no interest in protecting the victims.

🚨 Documents leaked to me reveal a federal watchlist of American protesters suspected of being Antifa - including its supposed leader. One Department of Homeland Security document says a 29-year-old resident of Portland "is the leader of Antifa": www.kenklippenstein.com/p/feds-ident...

Springsteen writes a protest song, send it to Tom Morello, says "what do you think, it's kind of soapboxy". Morello replies, "Subtlety is great Bruce, but sometimes you gotta kick them in the fucking teeth". 💙💙💙 Saw Joan Jett speaking out as well. 💙💙💙 Long live Rock and Roll!!!

Citizens in Virginia just defeated the purchase of a building for a concentration camp.

Trump wants elections “nationalized,” meaning more federal control over how voting runs. That’s a centralization move, not a fraud fix. When control moves up, oversight usually gets harder, not easier.

AOC: Why haven’t so many people been prosecuted? Why are Pam Bondi and the DOJ continuing to hide the majority of the Epstein files, which they admit contain even more direct evidence of genuinely shocking crimes and abuse of women, minors, and increasingly men…

ICE is running a “conveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families. Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota. The cruelty is endless.

AOC on ICE: It’s our task to figure out how to claw back what has essentially supercharged this agency into becoming a relentless domestic paramilitary that is also a blank check to Palantir to create facial-recognition scans on U.S. citizens.

In 2026, it is the internal tyrant who seizes the nation, bends the law, and invokes God as an instrument of his rule.

Crucial point. ICE cruelties are breaking through to info spaces that Dems often can't access. As I've argued ICE's recruitment strategy targets all these MAGA-adjacent info spaces (to reach @lioneltrolling.bsky.social's "mob elements") but truth about ICE is reaching even MAGA friendly info streams

Swalwell: Nobody wants to perform there. Everyone who had been booked is now canceling since this guy put his name on it. I think he’s trying to save himself the humiliation of no one wanting to perform there or go there.

I wonder how many in Congress grasp just how serious this is.
