Trump's "Freedom 250" group promises that anyone who gives them $2.5 million will have a chance to speak on July 4 at the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. It's exciting to consider how many rich whack jobs may take this chance to air their takes to the nation.

REP. STEIL: Some Dems demands put at risk the safety of members of law enforcement CNBC: You mean like taking off their masks and having a badge that shows who they are? STEIL: Well, they're known to their supervisors CNBC: No other law enforcement officials in the US are allowed to wear masks

Washington Post

part of me still can't believe the East Wing was completely destroyed and there have been no negative consequences or reports on whether items inside were properly archived or not

At the opening of the Winter Games and the beginning of the Olympic Peace, Russians are bombing Ukrainian civilians. Every region of Ukraine is under aerial threat alert and being attacked by kamikaze drones. Russian missiles are targeting Lviv near the border with Poland.

In a functioning democracy, he would not be president by this evening

Three-time Trump voter: I'm looking at this awful picture of the Obamas. What an embarrassment to our country. He is not worthy of the presidency. He takes bribes blatantly, and now he's being a racist blatantly. He's pathetic as a president, and I want to apologize for supporting this rotten man.

I asked Ron Wyden what his cryptic letter to the CIA was all about. He wouldn't say. "I wrote it for a specific reason. That’s all I can say.” He did a similar thing before, in 2011, and illicit spy activities were later revealed by Edward Snowden www.huffpost.com/entry/ron-wy...

ICE follows school bus in South St. Paul 2/4/26

Alex Pretti wasn't killed by rhetoric, he was killed by two masked CBP agents shooting him 10 times in the back after they had disarmed and pepper sprayed him. Rhetoric didn't kill Renee Good either, a thug from ICE did that with a gun as she tried to avoid hurting him.

Paul Weiss leader Brad Karp is stepping down from the role after a trove of emails released by the Justice Department detailed the lawyer’s close connections to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.

"Really hard criminals"

Cory Doctorow: "America is not great. It has been gutted by the Epstein class, who robbed us blind, raped our kids, and are now selling us shitcoins and chatbots and the spectacle of protesters being shot in the streets." Another banger here:

Everything Bezos does is in service to Trump. Closing these bureau's and cutting the middle east reporting team helps limit news coverage of Trump's self dealing in GAZA and his failure to fight Putin in Ukraine.

Kaitlan Collins: What about the Epstein survivors? Donald Trump (just like every gross, pervy guy who ever harassed you on the street or at work): Smile, darling. You're prettier when you smile.

The headline should be, "DHS to keep 2,000 immigration officers in Minnesota." Instead, it seems the entirety of the traditional media went with, "DHS to withdraw 700 immigration officers from Minnesota." This presser worked like a charm.

In no functioning country is this allowed.

This made me weepy

I hope y'all are watching Lawrence O'Donnell's segment on the pedophile führer's murderous ICE Nazis, In Cold Blood. Make no mistake, it's Trump who is MURDERING American citizens. O'Donnell's replaying damaging testimony against Trump's Nazis, including teacher Marimar Martinez.

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

Kaitlan Collins: What about the Epstein survivors? Donald Trump (just like every gross, pervy guy who ever harassed you on the street or at work): Smile, darling. You're prettier when you smile.

I think it’s Bad that trump personally sent his top spy to a swing state to “investigate” why he can’t just win every election no matter what

There's a prominent Republican congressman who met his current wife when she was in high school and he was in his 40s, and it's just treated like no big deal by his caucus. Worth remembering when they dismiss the Epstein Files stuff as no big deal.

Trump was mercilessly roasted at the Viareggio Carnival in 2026… once again! 🤣

Lutnick back in October: Epstein was "the greatest blackmailer ever."

read online that someone set-up a premium rate phone number where callers get charged $3.99/ min. then they posted flyers in their neighborhood that said "call this number to report illegal aliens," but the number just puts them on hold with music. so far, they've made $17,000

Troublemaker is my middle name.

Trump paid $750 in federal income taxes in 2016 and 2017 and now wants $10 billion because a leaker pointed that out www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

I saw it too:

Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps

I want to hear at least ONE Democratic leader talk like their ass is on fire about ICE’s electronic surveillance of people committing no crimes...and the “nice little database” they’re bragging about building on Americans. That’s the emergency. Anyone??

This is the director of the Melania movie photographed in "good company"... #AllRoadsLeadToEpstein

It should not take a court order to get a toddler out of a prison.

I don't like to talk about stories before they are fully reported, but I am writing on ICE in a Minnesota town that isn't Minneapolis. However bad you think it is, it is worse. It is a campaign of pure terror whose only strategic goal is more terror. There is no strategy other than to break people.

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept." Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

Alex Pretti memorial bike ride from the air. youtu.be/K3I41XdxOCo?...

straight up Gestapo shit

Open letter to our Senators: Gentlemen, Ladies, we don't really care about ICE not getting even more funding. We don't care about more "training" and more rules they won't follow. We want ICE de-funded. Dismantled. Gone. Driven out of our cities.

JD Vance in 2021:

BREAKING: Federal judge orders Adrian Conejo Arias and his minor son, L.C.R., released. "The Great Writ and release from detention are GRANTED." "Civics lesson to the government: Administrative warrants issued by the executive branch to itself do not pass probable cause muster."

Dude. We read the email. You were begging for an invite to the next “party.” You “cleared your calendar.” The mendacity. I hope there are some folks posting the email on X.

Alarmed yet?

We're gonna win
