ejoy this coverage of the delusion Craig, let me know your thoughts, adam open.substack.com/pub/wattyala...

The Founders assumed that Members of Congress would jealously and zealously guard the powers and prerogatives of their branch of government against the grasping of an overweening Executive, and instead we got this supine GOP majority that yearns to lick the boot.

Trump's ICE cruelty for fun: ICE Agents Arrest Workers From Mexican Restaurant Where They Just Ate. ICE agents have Latinos serve them Mexican food then arrest them! www.mediaite.com/media/news/i...

SCOOP: Trump quietly pardoned several people this week, including: ▶️A Venezuelan-Italian banker implicated in a bribery scheme whose daughter donated $3.5M to Trump's PAC. ▶️A California woman who was freed from prison by a Trump commutation in 2021 & was then convicted in an unrelated case in 2024.

ICE almost murdered a baby last night

They refused to probe a murder. The people with consciences walked out. 🚨 NEW: At least four leaders of the DOJ Civil Rights Division resigned because the section's head, Harmeet Dhillon, decided not to investigate shooting of Renee Good.

ICYMI, the DHS recently expressed its desire to deport ONE HUNDRED MILLION people, while the # of undocumented immigrants in the US as of last year was only about 15 million. A few days before, NatCon leader Yoram Hazony wrote that he “hate[s] these analogies to Germany of the 1930s.” 1/

Why exactly did Trump remember Jerome Powell?

I think the French resistance would be sabotaging ICE vehicles parked overnight in hotel parking lots. Just a thought.

So Aaron, I came across an article from 2014. Between 2010 and 2012 US border agents stepped in front of vehicle 62 times to justify shooting. Guess whose name is mentioned Jon Ross has been under review for repeatedly doing this www.thenation.com/article/arch...

I expect the actual plan is to provoke an incident in which a protester does something that gets them killed, and the ICE goons get away with it, setting a precedent for doing so.

Maybe that asshole should stop standing in front of vehicles.

BREAKING NEWS:

About 100 (maybe) Jan. 6ers out here marching toward the Capitol, chanting “USA”

Trump didn't wage war in Venezuela to advance the oil lobby's interests. His motives appear much less coherent -- and more superficial -- than that www.vox.com/politics/473...

Trump administration has not consulted US oil majors about Venezuela, oil execs say reut.rs/49KAsQz

Fyi: The ICC can try nationals of states which are not signatories of the ICC for crimes that take place on the territory of states that are signatories. Venezuela is a member of the ICC.

I just spent an hour baking a cake and discovered that I’d turned on the wrong oven.

Venezuela might have something different to say about that. bsky.app/profile/news...

I don’t understand how the first reaction from leadership isn’t “This is an impeachable offense. My colleagues must defund Hegseth and begin drafting articles immediately.” Like, even if it doesn’t get done, how are you not planting this flag in the ground immediately?

Masked agents dragged a teacher from her classroom. They pepper-sprayed a toddler. They shot a father of two, for the crime of trying to go to work. This is Trump’s America—and we need your help to keep exposing it. trib.al/aVuxuX6

Omg. Trump just said the oil will pay for everything. Where have I heard this before?

Trump just essentially said Machado was happy to be a US puppet.

I’m sorry, Gen. Caine, but one of this matters. It was illegal and you’re just telling us HOW MUCH OF OUR MONEY you just spent on an illegal action. You need to go!

This is backwards. Trump has broken all the rules and guidelines of diplomatic conduct. WE are the enemy of peace, justice, and fairness.

He’s going off script…

look, I may not agree with every decision our president makes, but he is our commander in chief and I will defend to the death his right to be impeached, removed from office, arrested, stripped of his wealth, tried for his crimes and thrown straight the fuck into prison

We’re going to run Venezuela? And the oil industry? Who voted for this?

Oh, we’re all about “judiciousness “ now?

Best thing I’ve read this morning, from a human rights lawyer in Mexico. Translation is in the ALT-text.

Since we’ve apparently decided that it’s okay to attack and capture the leader of another country, could someone help us out here?

Every accusation is a...

As the president graffitis his name to beloved institutions and builds monuments to his own vanity, we must focus on how much fun it will be to tear it all down. trib.al/RMvevUG

Trump celebrates Christmas by targeting Muslims.

Turning Point USA was founded in 2012 by Charlie Kirk and Bill Montgomery Two of their major policy pushes were a more prominent gun culture and zero COVID restrictions Bill Montgomery died to the COVID virus Charlie Kirk died to gun violence

You know who uses D.A.R.V.O…. Narcissistic Abusers This is the Republican Party The party that protects pedophiles

I’m not anti-government. I’m anti-THIS government.

My sister died suddenly Friday. This news about Rob Reiner is exactly the sort of thing I would text her about. NOW WHAT AN I GOING TO DO?!

ICE agents pepper-sprayed a baby girl. The baby girl, mother, and father are all US Citizens - just in case you thought your family was safe.

My sister (with cup) and I on our back porch in Detroit, late 50s. We were 5 and 6. My sister entered hospice care this week.

Not the most important thing, but how is it that a Pro Publica reporter (frankly, any reporter) can call the President of the United States and he just... picks up the phone?

“I can’t see a rational reason to move inmates that have been compliant in an environment to a more restrictive environment,” says the former president of the American Correctional Association.
