This is true in rougly the same sense that a guy on the subway reeking of urine, screaming, and waving a knife around is “feared.”

This man’s boss regularly, like almost every day, refers to his political opponents as “radical leftwing lunatics who hate America.” He calls immigrants “vermin infecting the blood of our country.” But do tell us some more about “venom” in a TV ad or whatever, dude

14 million households now owe past due utility bills. Trump didn’t create an energy boom - he created an affordability crisis that leaves families choosing between heat and hunger. This isn’t leadership - it’s neglect. #TrumpAffordabilityChaos

And all of my former Republican congressional colleagues, who long ago abandoned their oaths to defend the Constitution, either look the other way, hide under their beds, or get done on their knees and praise their dear leader. Cowards, every damn one of them.

"The Shadow President," @andykroll.bsky.social's deep dive into Russell Vought, has just won a George Polk award for political reporting. The piece chronicles Vought’s rise from the Senate mailroom to his position as one of the most influential players in the Trump administration. Read it here:

He’s a liar. He lied under oath. He lied to get the job. Impeach him.

The cruelty of this regime in a nutshell.

NEW: The Democratic chief election officials of six states are denouncing two new voter suppression bills making their way through Congress — underscoring how the legislation would place a huge burden on voters and election administrators. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

10 February 1924 | French Jewish woman, Claude Levy, was born in Lyon. She was deported to #Auschwitz from #Drancy on 27 March 1944. She did not survive. --- ▶ Video about the history of Auschwitz: https://youtu.be/Fxnl5HTygrs

Nothing Alex Pretti did in the prior video would've justified shooting him at that time It damn sure doesn't justify ICE shooting him a week later, when he did nothing aggressive, was subdued by 8 agents and was utterly defenseless Trump is smearing the victim to try and vindicate his execution

The answer begs for the question to be repeated If Tulsi Gabbard doesn't work for DOJ or FBI, she had no business being present when agents raided the Fulton County Elections hub This is already a tainted investigation. Her presence makes it worse We cannot trust ANYTHING this administration does

The Senate has blocked a massive funding bill as critical talks continue to avoid a government shutdown this weekend. https://cnn.it/4rr7JaB

The *things* russians are doing: invading a sovereign state, murdering civilians, creating a humanitarian disaster in extreme cold, abducting children, razing towns to the ground, raping, torturing, looting

ICE is upset that ICE isn't welcome in restaurants after ICE ordered food at a restaurant, ate it, then arrested restaurant employees, and ICE believes this is someone else's fault, do I have that right?

This is the CDC map for homicide rates by state for the most recent year on their website. Gov. Landry, who leads one of the states in the nation with the highest murder rate, is on television chiding Minnesota, one of the states with the lowest murder rates.

"I'm coming to Boston and I'm bringing hell with me." --Homan in February "Do I expect violence to escalate? Absolutely." -- Tom Homan in March "I actually thought about getting up and throwing that man a beating right there in the middle of the room" -- Homan in July, referring to a D congressman

Kristi Noem is confused about what a “domestic terrorist” really is.

AOC: "An ICE officer had violently pushed a woman to the ground and he had come over to help get her up and that is what precipitated this incident that very quickly led to an execution in the streets. What we are seeing here is a momentous pivotal moment for the United States."

Murphy on Bovino: "That was a bone-chilling interview. I was shaking while I was listening to it, in large part bc it takes just an unbelievable amount of gall to lie to the American public. Everybody saw that video ... it should freak the public out that the Trump administration lies this easily"

Journalists need to ask, “What made Pettri a ‘suspect’?” He was ‘seized’ under the meaning of the Fourth Amendment, which requires *probable cause that he was committing a crime* MAKE THEM ARTICULATE THE BASIS FOR THE SEIZURE

If the US were a geopolitical rival the headlines would be like: US Secret Police Execute Second Dissident In the Streets As Militarized Occupation Enters Sixth Week

What we are watching is a paramilitary force learning that they can kill with impunity, that the regime will smear the victim and defend them. Unless politicians and the legal system exerts accountability, it will not stop. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/past-the-b...

Trump is at war with our own citizens.

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

Under orders from their leader, the regime’s brown shirts are executing innocent people in the streets. They must be stopped.

ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."

They're building a dictatorship. It's obvious to every honest person who pays attention, but the New York Times, the TV networks and the rest of corporate media refuse to sound the proper alarm. It's a huge betrayal of the public trust.

Another day, another outrage; ICE under Trump is going to deport dozens of people to Iran, including two gay men previously arrested by the regime who face the death penalty for their orientation, and despite the ongoing crackdowns which have killed thousands. An administration of total inhumanity.

They defied congressional subpoenas and suffered zero consequences.

Ted Lieu opens by reminding us that Jim Jordan still hasn’t complied with his subpoena.

President Trump’s pardon freed Jan. 6 rioters from prison. It also emboldened them to demand money from the government. “You tell me why I shouldn’t be entitled to getting my money back,” Stacy Hager, a 62-year-old former warehouse supervisor, said. https://wapo.st/3LTL3R4

22 January 1944 | A transport of 1,115 Jews deported from Drancy in German-occupied France arrived at Auschwitz. After selection, 236 men and 55 women were registered in the camp. The remaining 864 people were murdered in gas chambers. Among them Daniel, Samek (Jamec), Paulette & Rosa Lisoprawski

I can't even keep up with the lies in Jim Jordan's opening statement, but I find it interesting that he's complaining about toll record warrants obtained by a judge, while this administration has determined judicial warrants aren't needed to enter our homes.

Deporting children with cancer. Using a 5-year-old as bait. Shooting moms. ICE is beyond reform. And today the House is voting to bankroll more terror. Hell no.

Imagine having to lie this hard about something this dumb. Karoline Leavitt is out here insisting Trump didn’t confuse Greenland and Iceland, but we all saw the tape. That’s the job now. www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

The point a lot of people are missing: "The pre-Trump tradition of bipartisan support for immigration enforcement and the Democrats’ failure to challenge the scapegoating and demonization of immigrants has opened the door to the paramilitarization of American life."

Late to the game but he got there. Pressure works, people. Keep calling your reps and senators. Not another dime for these goons.

The Trump administration has ordered work stoppages and layoffs and has tried cutting off funding to effectively dismantle the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

"Portland metro area officials are warning residents about reports of federal immigration officers posing as utility workers to lure people out of their homes.'"

Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

We just saw this, and it’s a good idea for businesses to post. Private businesses are allowed to set dress and conduct rules. Requiring no full face coverings has long been standard for safety and loss prevention reasons, and it is within a business’s rights to refuse entry or service.

It could happen to ANYONE. And absolutely EVERYONE should be outraged by the abuse and cruelty we’re watching play out in our names. Our tax dollars are funding this. Citizens 👇🏽

The videos people are taking of ICE agents torturing human beings are breaking through. And that is why they want us to be afraid to record them. We cannot look away. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

The reality is that ICE and DHS actually CAN and ARE attacking people who are exercising their rights. I say this NOT to dissuade anyone from exercising those rights, but to challenge @tedlieu.bsky.social and other politicians to do more to protect those rights than post this kind of thing.

It was inevitable that antisemitic fascist Christian nationalist pastor Joel Webbon would become a Hitler apologist, insisting that the Holocaust was "probably not as bad as we've been told" and that Hitler probably "didn't even know some of the things that were going on."

Democratic voters have a decision to make in every primary, both in the midterms and in 2028. Folks need to “purity test” candidates. Period. Look at what policies candidates stand for and look at their donors. This moment is not for politicians without a spine.

It's both. Powell's term as chair is up soon. Trump will replace him, with Powell presumably remaining as a governor. But he wants to humiliate Powell for defying him & gain total control of the Fed. Trump is power-hungry so he can exact retribution & he pursues revenge to show how powerful he is.

Again, I haven't seen an incident in which an agent was identified and attacked independent of an enforcement action. A lot of the assaults DHS talks about occur at detention facilities; the other during arrests and stops. Put more simply: There's no evidence that masking is needed to protect them.

Congress should pass a law requiring agents to show their faces, identify themselves, & wear their badges. It’s not agent safety we have to worry about these days. End so-called Kavanaugh stops & admin warrant-based forced entry into homes too. Let’s have a Constitution.
