Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE Truth: No cars rammed ICE Claim: She boxed ICE in Truth: ICE boxed her in Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE Truth: She did not have a rifle Claim: ICE returned fire Truth: Only ICE fired Claim: She drove herself to the hospital Truth: Paramedics found her

Look, man. The horse was already out of the barn when the Patriot act passed 25 years ago. The vote on that was 357-66 in the House and then 98-1 in the Senate. Fascism has always been a bipartisan enterprise. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/trumps-nsp...

I spoke to a Venezuelan woman who was arrested in this raid and later released with her 4yo son. She said agents broke down their door, pointed guns at them and made sexualized remarks about Venezuelan women. When she returned to her apartment it was boarded up and all her possessions were gone.

Waiting for SCOTUS to jump in with a one paragraph unsigned opinion saying that the greater harm here would *not* be allowing Trump to brutalized people living in Democratic cities.

per reddit this is the 'ten car' incident -- weird!

the fact that this even needs to be said is absurd

They could have perp walked Trump, multiple times, for multiple offenses. They could have convicted him in the Senate, as a bipartisan majority of senators voted to do. When you decide not to pursue justice, this is the result.

this is wild: while Stephen Miller's guy was in Minnesota for his uncle's funeral, somebody was able to see his entire phone and take pictures of his Signal group chats talking about military deployments to Portland, and brought them to the Strib (gift link: www.startribune.com/trump-offici...)

try "past 5 years"

How bad are tariffs going? I paid for $32 of shaving cream from Canada. Unique stuff I’ve used for years, nothing like it in US. Small family business. UPS guy came to my door today with box and said I have to pay additional $120 before he can hand it to me. That makes it 5x more expensive!!! 🤯

next time the president disappears for a few days we should all say he's jacking off, so when he resurfaces instead of saying "im not dead actually" he has to say the other thing

I said what I said.

Julius Caesar was the first Roman to put his own living face on coins, weeks before his death. It is one of the deepest cultural signifiers of something autocracies do and republics do not. “Render unto Caesar.” A practice so notoriously arrogant Jesus himself dunked on it with snarky wordplay.

and scene

Broadview IL ICE Processing Center Press Conference. #Chicago www.youtube.com/live/hnyq5UY...

"Johnson said he was left tied up outside the building for nearly three hours. 'I asked [agents] why they were holding me if I was an American citizen, and they said I had to wait until they looked me up. I asked if they had a warrant and I asked for a lawyer. They never brought one.'"

NEW: Now that Tom Homan is border czar, his former business associate is continuing to work with companies actively seeking to land a chunk of the $45 billion Congress approved to spend on Trump's mass detention and deportation plans.

How out of touch can Donald Trump’s top economic adviser be? A 60-year-old couple making $85k/year will have to pay over $22,000 more EVERY YEAR. TWENTY TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS.

This is an important effort from the Oversight Committee. I've heard from a lot of people in the 6th District who are concerned about these messages. The Trump Administration is blatantly violating the law to deny blame for their government shutdown. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/o...

In case it wasn’t clear, the anti-DEI crusade has never been about merit. Zero news experience. Never been a reporter. Elevated to Editor in Chief of CBS News, one of the most storied news institutions in the nation. www.mediaite.com/media/news/p...

worth remembering that hoover's administration was defined by 4 years of economic chaos, suffering, dislocation, and fear. People genuinely believed the country itself was on the verge of irreversible collapse. He still got 40% of the vote.

"donald trump's economy is shit!" ~senator roger marshall (R)

I feel like Joseph Heller had their number back in the 60's in Catch-22 and I still think of this quote whenever I hear farm owners complaining about socialism or benefits or taxes. It was a short little aside but it stuck with me for like 25 years.

“i didn’t see the tweet” has been their line since 2017

I don’t know why no one’s talking about this Lutnick interview about Epstein but it’s insane. He basically says he could tell he was a sick fuck within minutes of meeting him and never wanted to see him again. Uhhh bruh, you realize your boss was best friends with him for like 30 years, right? Ok

Wow, the University of Washington's Psych 201 class does *not* play go fuckin Huskies Nazi UW students fuck off

got those big attacks just about ready to start any second now just you wait here we go

Remember Trump told the news that he didn’t know what Project 2025 was and that alot of it seemed crazy to him and the media was like ok sounds good

foreign countries must ban X. It is run by one particular person who has well known and openly voiced intentions to overthrow their governments

"I shouldn’t have to say this, but I’m, like, a professional comedian; I speak truth to power. Unless, of course, that ‘power’ is gonna murder me for speaking ‘truth,’ obviously."

The next time Mike Johnson lies that he hasn’t seen the latest Trump screwup that the rest of the nation is discussing, the TV anchor should just quietly say “that’s ok, not everyone follows politics.”

Yeah, man, be sure to announce you’re cutting “Democrat agencies” so when voters face the consequences they know who brought them the things they liked and who’s to blame for their loss, great plan

My god. “Watson said she saw agents dragging residents, including kids, out of the building without any clothes on and into U-Haul vans. Kids were separated from their mothers…’It was heartbreaking to watch…seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible.’”

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later. harpers.org/archive/1941...

government fascist official ranting or pornhub mission statement

This fact is not breaking through. Republicans have the power to open the government by themselves. They just need to use the “nuclear option” to suspend or change the filibuster. Rs nuked three weeks ago for judges, so we know they’re able. But they’d rather keep it closed and blame Dems.

Dems should be talking nonstop about how brain dead and feeble Trump is and how it's a national tragedy that his cabinet won't invoke the 25th amendment ... The media will absolutely pick up on it, and it will drive him nuts. They reported when WE thought he died a few weekends ago for like 72 hours

me: i want to sleep in a human-sized hotdog bun 911: sir that's.....ok actually that sounds great me: so who do we call 911: [shouting in background] we're checking now

Jonathan Greenblatt no doubt trying to rush out an ADL statement endorsing this decision and condemning the ADL.

> loads up Clover Pit for the first time > pulls the lever > says HELLOOOOOOOOOOOO out loud > game instantly wins, all achievements unlock, game uninstalls itself

Democratic leaders deciding not to embrace Mamdani after he won NYC's primary, or even to oppose him to some degree, really stands out considering how Dems' response to 2024 is fretting that they're losing ground with young voters and working class voters, and not attracting enough public attention.

I honestly, in good faith, don't know why Democratic leaders think simply saying, "We support the Democratic nominee and respect the will of the voters" is riskier and more dangerous than setting a precedent that could result in pissed-off progressives running as indies in far closer elections.

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

this is an especially good thing to hammer because it wedges the WH away from congressional Republicans

The Dems breaking through right now are all treating Trump's consolidation of dictatorial power and his subjugation of Blue America as absolutely central facts about our moment. Zohran highlights that regularly. Trump's threat to nix funding is a case in point. newrepublic.com/article/2011...

Zohran Mamdani out there making every single poll obsessed risk averse Democratic politician look like the useless cowards they are by articulating a clear political morality

The elite/public divide on this is legit insane making

One of the most hopeful things in the world for me is how many people are putting out cool, fun video games that almost everyone can afford/run on their PCs or sometimes phones. Megabonk, UFO 50, Balatro, Silksong, Hades, and on and on ... I could play just indie games and be set forever

"If they don’t promise to hold fascists accountable, they are essentially promising not to hold anyone accountable. By avoiding the question of how they will wield power, by refusing to draw a line, Democrats are saying they do not want to wield power, and that they have no lines."
