House Intel Chair Rick Crawford on why he doesn't want video of the second Sept 2 boat strike released: "What the trained eye can detect from these videos may reveal sources and methods that would imperil troops." (But releasing video of the first strike didn't?)

Elections have consequences. A man like this never belonged near the levers of power. Not the first time. And certainly not this second time when everything was knowable. We are trapped in a tragedy and must fight our way out.

A billboard in Richmond, Kentucky.

I identified myself as a US citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out. Even after I complied, I was taken to a detention center and held for 3 days without charges. No phone call, no lawyer, no medical care

These are nazi tactics. Trump *is* the reincarnation of Hitler.

I thought the police chief claimed he will arrest ice agent who breaks the law. Why are they not under arrest?

If you people truly believed in the reasoning behind the #2ndAmendment, entire neighborhoods would be responding to home invasions like this with a hail of gunfire to protect each other. It sounds extreme until you realize how extreme the tyranny you are facing is. #ByAnyMeansNecessary #FuckICE

Oh, is that still in effect? Seriously, I don’t see any will to stop the fed gov’t from doing whatever it wants, including murdering random people in boats with no due process. If we can’t stop that, what can we stop?

How do these folks know that they’re ICE and not some crazed psychopath dressed up like ICE trying to kidnap and rob them. Isn’t there a Castle Doctrine up there to allow these folks to defend themselves when masked, unidentifiable robbers break into their homes??

Ok, hold up. They were yelling “police”?! WERE there actual police there? If not, that’s impersonating a police officer, which is ILLEGAL. 🤬🤬 And NO FUCKING WARRANT! WTF? This has to END!

Exactly. He is NOT kidding about staying in office past Jan 2029.

Will we become numb to this? Never. I am literally sick to my stomach watching the the Trump atrocities. It really is just like Nazi Germany.

Make it stop. Ffs, they are devoid of humanity and openly mock laws. If a gang of thugs were out there brutally abducting people illegally, the police would be out there after them. This is a gang of thugs brutally abducting people illegally. Police, do your job.

😡😡😡🤬 🖕ICE! 🖕Congress for allowing this and not impeaching the orange traitor!

They’re paid to do this by a racist who believes they’re omnipotent This the Stephen Miller An arrogant , strutting , imperious little puppet who thinks he’s all powerful Reminds me: Whatever happened to the SS?

Well, if you're gonna wait 'till they show up for you, there will be no one to have your back.

It is just shocking to me that no one has used deadly force against these masked gunmen kicking in their front doors. Isn't this the exact scenario that the firearms industry has used for decades now to sell their products? This is the NRA's bread & butter. How have none of these guys wound up dead?

ICE in Burnsville, MN followed a family home, broke down their door, and abducted 4 of them at gunpoint including the parents of a 7 year old and the husband of a pregnant woman. All of this occurred without a warrant for a home owned by a US citizen. (12/6/25)

“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” There’s only one way to interpret the 14th Amendment: exactly how it's written. Birthright citizenship isn’t up for debate.

Consumer Reports ranks Teslas as the least reliable used cars. "The best of the worst [ten] was Chevrolet at a score of 40. But Tesla makes that failing grade seem respectable with its absolute rock bottom rating of 31, trailing Jeep by just one point.” futurism.com/advanced-tra...

I thought he traded Taiwan for China’s agreement to buy soybeans. Turns out it was our advanced tech, but maybe Taiwan is coming later.

Republicans had 15+ years to come up with a decent healthcare plan. It’s not coming. Don’t believe them.

After a backroom meeting with Donald Trump and a donation to the Trump ballroom, NVIDIA got a deal to sell the most advanced AI chip it has ever sold to China. The NVIDIA CEO should testify under oath in Congress.

Jasmine Crockett didn’t just launch a #Senate run — she lit a match under Trump’s fragile ego. The ad is sharp, fearless, and pure Texas energy. If the GOP wants to play insult politics, she’s showing up bilingual in that language. Texas hasn’t felt this electric in years. Sen. Crocket? Yeah!

When a former CIA insider who challenged faulty intelligence during the Iraq War asks to interview you… it tells you something about the work you’re doing. I'm honored to be her podcast guest tomorrow. 👇 www.jackhopkinsnow.com

It’s time to stop saying that we need to understand these people. We do understand them. We understand that they have dug in their heels so deeply, they will not be moved by anything: not facts or data or truth or their own eyes. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/we-cant-ch...

We are dealing with such corruption in every aspect of our government, I don't know how we undo the damage.

SHARE NOW: Texas just got a whole lot louder. Jasmine Crockett is running for the United States Senate and Republicans should be terrified. She’s smart, fearless, relentless, and she doesn’t back down from anybody. This is the matchup Texas deserves. Let’s go.

I’m sure everyone hurt by Trump’s policies would like a government bailout, but apparently those only go to farmers who can’t sell their products to other countries.

Remember: Trump's fundamental issue with the Affordable Care Act is that Barack Obama is Black.

It’s way past time for every WH reporter to speak out to Trump’s face when he’s insulting female reporters. Is your access so critical that you’ll allow your colleagues to be abused?

Are farmers going to be on welfare for all 4 years of this Trump term, or just for 3 years like the first Trump term? We get you like voting for government handouts, but we are $38 trillion in debt.

This is when I knew Xi was going to take this babbling fool to the cleaners, and us in the process. The Golden Age of Dipshittery.

We're finding out, that Epstein had ties to the Mossad, the Mossad had ties to the CIA, the CIA had ties to the mob, the mob has ties to the military and now we're finding out that they're all tied together with the United States government. Now we know why everything on this planet is all fucked up

Before Tom Cotton defended an indefensible murder He suggested that peaceful protesters should be thrown off the Golden Gate Bridge And before that, he advocated for Trump to use troops against protesters-implying they should be shot The MAGA bloodlust will not be sated
