"The math only adds up if you're trying to build a police state." Miles Taylor, former DHS chief of staff, tells Rachel Maddow that the system of immigration prisons that Donald Trump wants to assemble is much bigger than the stated purpose of the prisons; unless Trump has some other use in mind.

The People’s Sick Day is this Friday 5/1. We’re probably all coming down with COVID or measles or something. If you can’t stay home, BUY NOTHING. #USGeneralStrike #USGS #MayDay

This week a Farm Bill appears in the House with language trying to shield Monsanto (Bayer) from legal liability from Roundup pesticides causing cancer—shielding the company from billions in liability. Same company that Trump’s White House Chief of Staff and former AG lobbied for. We’re a HELL NO!

I agree. People keep saying how crazy it is, and I am like, "Man this guy just seems like a normal guy that couldn't put up with evil anymore. I mean he says he is sorry all over the place, seems to have VERY lucid thoughts." I think they just don't know how to have a narrative that isn't "crazy".

This is obscene. Trump orders safe conduct for Alexei Mordashov's $500 mn superyacht, Nord. Mordashov is a key Kremlin henchman who has expanded his fortune building bombs Putin dropped on hospitals and nurseries in Ukraine. He is a war criminal. But Trump just loves him because of his ostentation.

“Hell no.” - @aoc.bsky.social to @pabloreports.bsky.social on taxpayers paying for Trump’s $400,000,000 ballroom

Walk & Talk - The great grifter cons a nation; first you fill a ball room w/ high officials, next, comes weapons of war and guns, when there was no person in the ball room who presented a risk to anyone. What do we really know about the “shooter?” youtu.be/7i6nBXJdH-I?...

Maga lecturing on political violence is peak hypocrisy.

"Enemy from within." "Communists, Marxists, fascists, radical left thugs, vermin." "Garbage" Somalis, "low IQ people." "She's an evil, sick, crazy, b..." Republicans want the left to tone down the rhetoric. Erm, have they listened to Donald Trump?? Zeteo put together this Trump montage:

THE SEARCH FOR THE NEW SPEAKER COMMENCES.

Imagine calling Renee Good and Alex Pretti “domestic terrorists” and calling immigrants “animals” then turning around and telling people they are the ones who need to “tone down their rhetoric.”

Donald Trump’s vocabulary is filled with unpresidential insults, labeling Americans as “fascists,” “communists,” “vermin,” and “garbage.” Here’s a glimpse of Trump’s vile rhetoric aimed at his political opponents, immigrants, and journalists. Subscribe to Zeteo.

The bots

In 1994, a man crashed his small plane into the White House. Clinton did not build a ballroom because of it. In fact he barely mentioned it. And he definitely did not say that no one can criticize him anymore.

No one should be above the law. The Illinois Accountability Commission will keep a record to help hold those responsible for breaching law enforcement protocol and violating people’s rights during Operation Midway Blitz.

Merz: As far as Iran is concerned, yes, I have become disillusioned with that by now. And that is simply because the United States of America and Israel had assumed right at the beginning that this problem would be solved within a few days. And today we have to realize that it has not been solved.

Since taxpayers are now expected to pay for the idiotic ballroom, I guess trump gets to pocket all the private money that was supposed to pay for it. His thievery knows no bounds.

Thomas Massie at the Supreme Court this morning: “The White House Chief of Staff worked for a lobbying firm that accepted money from Monsanto / Bayer and that is wrong.”

Baghdad Barbie 😂

She's absolutely right!

As expected, Trump personal lawyer Jeanine Pirro has overcharged Allen in order to please her client and score political points. The case that this was a targeted presidential assassination attempt is tenuous; overreaching like this is why Pirro has a terrible record with juries.

My point is that if what you really want is a failed political prosecution, by all means overcharge the guy and claim he had specific intent to kill Donald Trump and frame him to jurors as a deranged mouth-foaming loser. You'll get what you paid for: at least a partial acquittal.

But hey, I'm just a retired defense attorney and former federal criminal investigator who won his first murder trial as a lawyer in his 20s, what do I know about properly framing a case to secure a conviction? TV judge Pirro is the best at failing to even get indictments, ask her

MAGA takes an almost professional pride in understanding nothing about crime in America—and corporate media is paid to pretend to know nothing—which is why the narrative surrounding Allen being sold by the White House and corporate media is the old "scary drooling fanatic" trope

He never had the money to pay for the ballroom. It was always a scam. We were always going to have to pay for it. They were just waiting for the right moment to hit us with the bill. This is now the time.

Russia pivoted Mali away from France and the West. Africa Corps replaced Wagner. The junta staked its survival on that arrangement. It is not holding. Whether Goïta is in a bunker or already on a flight to Moscow, the fact that no one knows is itself the story. 5/6

Rebel claims of rapid advances appear exaggerated in some accounts, but the junta's "under control" narrative has its own credibility problem given that its Defense Minister was just killed at a major military installation nine miles from the capital. 4/6

• Junta declares curfew, claims situation "under control" • President Goïta has not been seen publicly since the attacks began Internet chatter suggests the situation around Bamako is significantly worse than government sources are admitting. 3/6

• Defense Minister General Sadio Camara killed in attacks on his residence at Kati • JNIM and Azawad Liberation Front launched simultaneous strikes on Bamako, Kati, Gao, Kidal, Mopti, and Sévaré • Africa Corps withdrawing from positions including Kidal after being surrounded 2/6

𝗠𝗮𝗹𝗶 𝗙𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘆𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗦𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁? Mali is 36 hours into the most coordinated rebel offensive in years. The pattern is familiar. The regular army isn't fighting. The Russians are fleeing. And the rebels are at the gates of the capital. What is confirmed: 1/6

Russia's Africa Corps in retreat after major defeat in Mali Russia's Africa Corps and mercenaries withdrew from the Malian cities of Kidal, Labbezanga, Tessit, Intahaka, and Ber as the offense by Al Qaeda in Mali & the Azawad Liberation Front continues. malcontentnews.substack.com/p/russias-af...
