We are now 30 days beyond the statutory deadline for the full release of the Epstein files

Every American who still thinks they can walk in the world like “yeah, it’s a bit mad, but don’t blame me for it” needs to understand that our internal self-delineation ends at the border, and what allies, adversaries, and indifferent nations see is America doing this, an America in rapid decline

Just another day in the Trump admin. All the finest people.

3rd death in ICE custody reported at Camp East Montana krcrtv.com/news/nation-...

This is the sixth death in ICE custody in 18 days. This isn’t enforcement, it’s a system that cages people, outsources care, and shrugs when they die. Abolish ICE.

The new directive asks USDA workers in the agency’s research arm to use Google to check the backgrounds of all foreign nationals collaborating with its scientists. The names of flagged scientists are being sent to national security experts at the agency, according to records reviewed by ProPublica.

Bari Weiss is now infecting the headline writing. Note when a large majority of Americans tells the CBS pollster that they consider the protesters in Minneapolis to be well justified, she goes with only what Republicans—a dwindling number to start with—think.

It turns out, the Leopard Eating Faces Party isn't particular about faces. Senator Cassidy now has blood on his hands AND is about to be out of a job.

Abolish ICE.

“America will be respected again, like never before”

Oh man. It would be terrible if people started following Bovino around and playing Baby Shark. It would be terrible because he would hate it, and it would probably become his theme song, and it would make his Nazi in a long coat cosplay all the more ridiculous. So no one should do that.

According to Brian Stelter, 60 Minutes is finally airing the "Inside CECOT" story that Bari Weiss shelved. She made Sharyn Alfonsi fly to DC to get an interview with Tom Homan and Kristi Noem for the segment, but both refused. So it'll run tonight -- with no promotion and against the NFL playoffs.

Margaret Sullivan: "The only way out of this hellscape is holding fast to the truth, and remembering the line from George Orwell’s 1984: 'The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.'" Second that.

This doesn't make sense. As I pointed out, the fact that CBS pushed the "Jonathan Ross had internal bleeding" is proof that shelving the CECOT story wasn't about ensuring reporting is thorough, @brianstelter.bsky.social www.readtpa.com/p/what-the-t...

Great PR, you thugs. Attacking someone for dancing.

Terror is essential to Miller's project. It's designed to dissuade us from showing solidarity with the immigrants getting removed. Stand in the way of ethnic cleansing and you risk violence yourself. (h/t @whstancil.bsky.social and @sjshancoxli.liberalcurrents.com) newrepublic.com/article/2053...

There is no recalibrated or sanitized way to conduct the war that Trump and Stephen Miller are waging on American cities right now. That’s because it’s a campaign of deliberate terror. The policy *is* the terror, and the terror *is* the policy. newrepublic.com/article/2053...

"Most of the adults who got vaccinated did so because they felt a strong sense of duty to get the vaccination, not just to protect themselves but to protect their community. When they know that they're making a difference, it matters." abcnews.go.com/Health/measl...

I’ll never get over this. Trump unfairly pardoned someone, they turned around and committed a new crime, and Trump pardoned them again. You can commit any any crime you want as long as you have the money, power, and connections to get yourself a pardon. edition.cnn.com/2026/01/17/p...

Today I was Kidnapped By ICE - Dawokefarmer

I said this morning that we would win. But we will lose — and lose badly — if the opposition party doesn't recognize the gravity of the situation. Schumer and Jeffries must be supplanted as the party leadership's center of gravity. It's vital. They're not capable of leading us through this.

Nice work, Kavanaugh. 🖕

A terrible day. The U.S. government vs. the free world.

Okay boomer dudes…we need you!!!

I wonder how long it will take the media to catch on to the fact that ICE’s recruiting spree has effectively deputized every white supremacist hate group out there.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

A message from France 🇫🇷

not to be controversial, but one of these guys is lying

Publishing the names of protesters and contacting their employers to have them fired for exercising their rights is a tactic straight out of the White Citizens Councils.

On Thursday, Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado ventured into the gilded Oval Office and handed over her Nobel to Trump, a man who believes that if you’re a superpower you can grab pretty much any country by the **** because they’ll let you do it. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

GROSS! JFC. On SO many levels!!!!

the only good thing about this part of the horrible shooting story is that it may turn out to be a gut shot for the carcass of @cbsnews.com and that's great. and unlike the ICE goon CBS has real internal bleeding.

This is a sign of ethical collapse. Trump has forced this brave person to debase herself--with gold trimming.

ICE agents ate at a family-owned Mexican restaurant in Willmar, Minnesota, then returned hours later and arrested workers from the same place, according to reporting by the Minnesota Star Tribune.

An honest headline would read: "Death of man at ICE camp SHOULD be investigated as homicide..." This homicide was not an isolated incident. At least 32 people were killed in ICE detention in 2025. Several others died days after being released after horrible mistreatment.

"Officers threw flash bangs and tear gas in my car. I got six kids in the car" "His wife, Destiny Jackson, told FOX 9 their 6-month-old infant stopped breathing and lost consciousness. She then performed CPR on her baby."

OK. The array of things Trump might try to do is incredibly broad, in a way that would seem very implausible just a year ago, because he is evil, demented, egotistical, and stupid: a comic-book tyrant. Similarly, the array of things his cultists would support is frighteningly broad. /1

THIS!!!!!!

Sums it up…

Remember. 👇

When Hitler met with big-money donors in 1933, he told them now was the time to be generous because “this is the last election Germany will have for 1000 years.”

Even if you skip over the open-and-shut case of both state and federal courts making them do it, this wouldn't be unprecedented. We've had states unlawfully fail to conduct federal elections before. 1862. 1864. The new Congress met anyway and simply had a bunch of vacancies from the rebel states.

Trump threatens to bring his immigration war to California and New York.

Fuuuuuck.

the question to ask about this is, okay, he wants to cancel the midterms. how does he get the VA state board of elections to cancel the midterms? how does he get the georgia board of elections to do it? how does he convince republican house members to quit their jobs and give up their paychecks?

Show me your papers, comrade
