Becoming very likely that "massive shootout" is the thing that breaks the Trump administration imo. With so many parties (ICE, National Guard, local and state cops, protesters) and ICE refusing to identify themselves and having absolutely no discipline, it just seems like a matter of time.

If Democrats were smart (laughsob) they would be publicly drawing up plans to prosecute anyone who acts on Trump’s illegal orders. He may have immunity, but they don’t. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

history teacher in 50 years: So in September, that’s when the president signed an executive order criminalizing anti-fascism and saying all resistance would be crushed student: oh so that’s when the whole country realized they were living under fascism teacher: haha what? oh no lol not at all. no.

He’s foaming at the mouth to go full Gestapo.

Fuck you to everyone who voted for that yahoo in the White House because you couldn’t handle a woman being in charge. Seriously, I hope you all have a really terrible day. And you can say whatever reason you want, misogyny was one of the top reasons he won.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

The ICE agents deploying these are people without necessary training, those who couldn’t cut it in police training or didn’t want to join the military. They are in this to hurt people and play Call of Duty on our streets, deploying chemical weapons on our neighbors as if they’re pressing L1.

In general, it's f-----g insane that the sitting POTUS and VP regularly single out individual citizens for disparagement using their official gov't accounts. I think there was a pretty strong presidential norm against this sort of thing until, well, about 8 years ago.

The Argentina bailout probably won't get Argentina's economy on sound footing, but it will help one well-connected American billionaire avoid losing big on Argentinian debt. In that way, it's like the Silicon Valley Bank bailout. Rich guys make a big bet, it goes bad, US taxpayers' cover the losses.

We went from the longstanding trope of "which candidate you'd like to have a beer with" to one party's candidates being deliberately obnoxious at every turn. Not even just politically, they have to go out of their way to show they are personally repulsive. And the party's base loves it, demands it.

“The source told CBS News that [Kash Patel and Dan Bongino] asked for "large, beefy" agents to conduct an arrest of Comey "in full kit," including Kevlar vests and exterior wear emblazoned with the FBI logo.” The leadership of the FBI is now in the hands of infantile psychopaths.

Russell Vought's sick little power trip will also hurt GOPers. One project he's cutting is the Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Hub, which spans Oregon, Washington, and...Montana. The state's GOP governor has hailed it for creating "good-paying Montana jobs." Oops. newrepublic.com/article/2012...

MEMPHIS Republicans “condemn” @FOX13Memphis for… doing their job? Reporting on where the National Guard is as Trump occupies the city is exactly what local media should be doing.

Hamas figured out that the US priority is putting on a show that casts Trump positively. Say something he wants to hear, he’ll promote it. You don’t have to do anything. In this case, say yes to an already changed proposal and leave details to be worked out, as if those details aren’t the hard part.

I know it's meant to be, but it really is infuriating how they do Hitler shit like this and then whine that people call them Nazis. www.cnn.com/2025/10/03/b...

“They asked for a sword, and we said, ‘Well, we do have swords, but we can’t give them away because they’re museum artifacts,’” said Todd Arrington, forced to resign as head of Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library.”

Serious question: Does *anyone* in this family know how to make money by doing anything other than slapping their name or picture on something?

In order for the United States to become a party to the International Criminal Court and have our officials be subject to trial at The Hague, the US Senate would need to ratify the Rome statute by a two-thirds vote. Let’s start running on that.

If Donald Trump wants a prize for peace he should go the fuck away and give us some peace.

Not only is the Project 2025 President cracking down on First Amendment free speech, but he's also intimidating wealthy financial advisors into potential negligence by downplaying the severity of his chaotic and harmful actions.

ICE writing long screeds whining about someone from Cato calling out their bullshit shows how they know they're losing the narrative here. No one likes ICE. No one trusts ICE. And they're flipping out about how weak they look.

This is messed up on many different levels, but please pay attention to the worst part: Noem is pushing lies that were carefully crafted to help her shock troops justify cruelty and lethal violence against peaceful American citizens.

I hope guys like this get reinstated if we ever push the Trumpers out. This was an act of courage.

“No coin issued may bear the image of a living former or current President,” says the federal law − 31 U.S. Code 5112 regarding coin denominations, specifications, and design, according to the Legal Information Institute at Cornell Law School. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Are they not explaining their reasoning so that they can easily rule against a Democratic President if he or she wants to use the same power at some point? Honest question.

I really appreciate Justice Jackson contrasting the lower courts' meticulous and responsible approach to judging—extensive deliberations, written opinions—with the Supreme Court's slapdash, unreasoned work over the shadow docket. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Sotomayor and Kagan also dissented, though they did not join KBJ's opinion. We can safely assume this was 6–3. The majority did not explain its reasoning, but suggested that the government faces a "harm" by maintaining TPS—one greater than the harm to 300,000 Venezuelans who may soon be expelled.

Justice Jackson's sharp dissent accuses her Republican-appointed colleagues of abusing the court's shadow docket "to allow this Administration to disrupt as many lives as possible, as quickly as possible." She also takes a dig at their refusal to write opinions explaining their actions.

NEW: By a 6–3 vote, the Supreme Court allows the Trump administration to cancel Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelan migrants. KBJ, dissenting, says she "cannot abide our repeated, gratuitous, and harmful interference" while "lives hang in the balance." www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Every Democratic Member of Congress should announce they're donating this month's salary to health care non-profit organizations. Hit Trump and the GOP twice: first for taking a vacation while collecting a paycheck and second for holding the health care of millions of Americans hostage for greed.

Wait, the WH spokesman is now saying the $17 trillion Trump keeps bragging about is just “investment commitments.” So it’s just a bunch of hopium? That’s not what Trump has been saying.

This is the point. The difference between 2024 and now is that Trump is in office and the secret police, masked kidnappings, militarization of cities, state censorship of TV personalities, corrupt investigations of enemies, etc are all around us and getting shoved down people's throats every day.

It's too long a story to explain how I know this, but I once found out that the FBI made challenge coins about how they tried to force Apple to break iPhone encryption. Challenge coins celebrating shitty behavior is deeply a part of FBI culture.

Pete Hegseth: “Earlier this morning, on President Trump's orders, I directed a lethal, kinetic strike on a narco-trafficking vessel affiliated with Designated Terrorist Organizations in the USSOUTHCOM area of responsibility. Four male narco-terrorists aboard the vessel were killed..”

I’m just a heathen Jew so can someone more familiar with the teachings associated with the cross on her necklace let me know what Jesus would have said on these matters?

hey @govpritzker.illinois.gov, you've been calling on your constituents to stand up and peacefully protest. To resist what is being done in their names. Why are *your* state cops treating them this way?
