A now deleted video of Donald Trump in 2011 talking about how President Obama will start a war with Iran because he has no ability to negotiate and is weak and ineffective

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

"I didn’t realize, in the hours before his name was released to the public, that the man millions of people had seen lying facedown on the pavement from multiple angles of eyewitness video was my childhood best friend." Read more from @kristenradtke.bsky.social: www.theverge.com/policy/86856...

A reminder how ICE treats priests.

I’m totally NFL agnostic and hate Aaron Rodgers, but does pass interference even exist anymore?

A minor point, but spelling machine guns as one word throughout the indictment is like nails on a chalkboard.

Perfect response from @neguse.house.gov here. Watch this.

Recalling this column: slate.com/news-and-pol...

"This type of language spurs on depraved people, deranged people who who take that as a cue." Right, Speaker Johnson?

I hadn’t seen this. Kirk, the moderate free speech guy who did politics the right way per some liberals (!), called for Biden to be executed. Meanwhile Joe Biden put out a very strong statement condemning Kirk’s killing. Both sides!

Ironic, isn’t it?

Well said!

Just last month the FBI forced out its top agent in Salt Lake City, a Pakistani American woman whom a former FBI agent describes as a “legendary case agent who was involved in some of the most significant national security cases of the last two decades.” www.msnbc.com/msnbc/amp/rc...

Illinois Gov. Pritzker ahead of Trump National Guard deployment: "To Chicagoans... Look out for your communities and your neighbours. Know your rights. Film things that you see happening... Authoritarians thrive on your silence. Be loud for America."

Trump is laying low after his failure at the summit with Putin and members of Congress are home. But the residents of Washington, D.C., are out protesting in droves! They are demanding Trump be removed along with the National Guard troops!

The biggest requirement to being a heartbeat away from a MAGA presidency is you must be in the “There’s always a tweet” club.

It’s as if the press is uncomfortable reporting a fascist movement is killing children for some reason.

🚨 ICE disappeared a woman on Wednesday night. She was grabbed by men in plainclothes and taken to an unidentified location. ICE is refusing to say where she is being held. It’s 72 hours later and not even a dedicated team of lawyers can find her. This is WRONG. We can’t let this be the new norm.

Brilliant. 10/10. No notes.

Rep. Andy Ogles, a Republican from Tennessee, has sent a letter to Pam Bondi calling for Zohran Mamdani to be stripped of his citizenship and deported. Why? Because he won the Democratic primary to become the mayor of New York City. This is what fascism looks like.

Best thing I’ve seen this month.

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

Here's a 2013 throwback:

It's infuriating how 99% of the coverage of this new war doesn't bother to mention that it is happening because we had an agreement to limit and monitor Iran's nuclear program, which even Trump's own aides said was working, and he blew it up because it was negotiated under Obama.

Who else nearly fell out of the seat when you heard Cosplay Kristi accuse Sen. Padilla of “political theater”?

“What Senator Alex Padilla did today was political theater.” --Kristi Noem, the Head of Costuming, Hair, and Makeup at Political Theater

I’m just a lowly nobody, but if Woodward/Berstein had said publicly that Nixon was the embodiment of evil and looked the part, Ben Bradlee would’ve fired them. They impeccably sourced their stories without becoming part of the story, even when baited by Nixon.

“I want to make a special appeal to soldiers, national guardsmen, and policemen: each of you is one of us. The peasants you kill are your own brothers and sisters. When you hear a man telling you to kill, remember God’s words, ‘thou shalt not kill.’” Óscar Romero, El Salvador, March 23, 1980.

if there is one topic trump has been unwaveringly consistent on it is his unacceptable and inhumane policies on immigration

I can’t believe the media covered up the fact that a clear mental incompetent was running the government while out of his mind on drugs, despite it being widely known in DC circles, to preserve their access to the White House. There should be huge recriminations for this.

All of this. Every damn second.

but seashells!

Cognitive decline? What if Biden said “the thing you carry the babies around in”?

People tend to dismiss VP Pence’s actions on J6: he was just doing his job, why should he get any credit for simply sticking to the letter of the law? But if it was so easy to do, why was he one of the very few in his party to do it? apnews.com/article/penc...

A bullpen that includes pitchers named Bummer and Blewitt is asking for trouble.

Jalen Hurts, so good.

AOC: It’s bone-chilling. Every day, there’s something new. And today, we saw Trump express openness to sending U.S. citizens to foreign prisons without due process. It’s anti-American.
