The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents border patrol officers at the National Border Patrol Council, calls on Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller to resign or be fired

Gallego: I think it's ridiculous that Kristi Noem just went out right away and basically called this poor victim, a violent terrorist. That right there is impeachable. She lied about a citizen to justify his murder. The president should ask for her resignation.

For those unfamiliar with Edina this is the Minneapolis equivalent of a Westchester socialite walking down Fifth Avenue singing "John Brown's Body."

Winnipeg (AP) - Mass anti-regime protests broke out near the capital of the United States' restive province of Minnesota today after the president's elite Republican Guards murdered a civilian.* *If we covered ourselves the way we cover other countries.

Every time Trump breaks the clear letter of the law, the NYT and WaPo write a story about how he’s “pushing boundaries” or “testing the limits of his authority” He's not Chuck Yeager, guys. He's a crook.

Former federal prosecutor predicted that charges, “will never happen.” Their case will fall apart faster than a sack pumpkins. All Hat, No Cattle

Now this right here is some real funky stuff….

if i want water from the sink, i have to turn on the faucet. if i want to ride my bike, i have to pedal and engage the gears. there is a mechanism. my point is that there is no *mechanism* by which elections can be canceled. it's not about norms, it is about how things work.

ICE can't even deal with irate middle-aged midwesterners. how does he occupy hundreds, if not thousands, of polling cites and precincts? trump v. illinois clarified that he has no legal authority to unilaterally commandeer national guards, how does he move forward from there?

Trump to Reuters about the midterm elections: "When you think of it, we shouldn't even have an election." www.reuters.com/world/us/fiv...

Great to live in a country where the general public pays massive cash incentives to encourage Feds to shoot citizens in the face. bsky.app/profile/thed...

The dude is based…

It seems pretty clear Trump intends to bomb someone soon. I just can’t tell if it will be Iran, Greenland, or Minneapolis.

published this and was then immediately without internet for 3+ hours to share it so please read 🙏

This is good point, also since the states run elections not the feds, how exactly would they get cancelled. I live in so-called blue state in a swing district and believe me our governor and sec of state are gonna hold elections this November

She didn’t back down and they walked away…

A friend of mine cooked up a flag to show support for strong municipal services and this feels like the perfect emblem of the Mamdani Moment. I absolutely love it.

Never escaping the adage "men are afraid that women are laughing at them; women are afraid that men will kill them"

@repgabevasquez.bsky.social Are you going to join Rep. Stansbury in calling for Noem’s impeachment? Not sure I’ve seen any statements from you on the ICE shooting.

Timberwolves hold a moment of silence for Renee Nicole Good

See, this is what America is about

At some point, a Democratic governor needs to say, "I want all of our patriotic residents to exercise their constitutional rights to protest the federal government." Encourage people to protest this authoritarian government instead of trying to reflexively tamp down protests.

Tim Walz is mobilizing the MN National Guard, and reminds Minnesotans that the guard "is OURS - our teachers and our neighbors." He asks Minnesotans to respect them. "They're there to protect you and your constitutional rights. They don't wear masks."

Since they are so bad at getting indictments/convictions against protesters this is their answer. He’s really bad at lying actually. But we knew that…

Ivan, New Yorker

“posturing for a new era of cooperation”??? Sure, that sounds like TFG. I used to think Murkowski had more of a backbone, but I guess she’s getting the roads in AK she always wanted…

Sure could use an opposition party about now. One interested in fighting and wielding power would be even better.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE

Another bad NYT take, guess the author is unfamiliar with Greta Van Fleet, IDLES, or any other newish bands under rock’s big umbrella

I just saw Stephen Miller referred to as PeeWeeHimmler and now I can’t unsee it. 😂😂

Speech has never been freer! Not performing for the president is now illegal.

There’s a good argument to make that keeping up protests and resistance will force them to reallocate resources reducing their capacity. They are also losing in court pretty consistently in really unheard of ways and that should embolden the protesters.

More absurdities from the NYT headline writer. No, Tina Peter was charged, tried and convicted for election fraud—not for being a "denier." And there is no "legal controversy," the Constitution is clear. There is a president seeking to exercise totalitarian powers.

This presidential “pardon,” as it’s for a state crime, is the equivalent of digital toilet paper, only flimsier and serving a less useful purpose.

BREAKING on MS NOW: A grand jury just rejected the Trump Justice Department's third attempt to indict New York Attorney General Letitia James on allegations she engaged in mortgage fraud, according to two sources familiar with the presentation.

MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”
