after absolutely eviscerating Kristi Noem and calling for her resignation, Tillis is applauded. He thens threatens to hold up nominees if she doesn't stop stonewalling him. My God.

Why would Kash Patel do this? Explain it to me like I’m five.

Excellent advice right here.

The correct word for killing a lot of people, destroying a lot of things, spending a lot of resources, and ending up back where things started is "failure." Or if you'll allow two words, "avoidable disaster."

This flew under the radar, but Trump's DOJ has abandoned its legal assault on the law firms that courageously refused to bend the knee to him. This should serve as a reminder for the firms that sucked up to Trump: appeasing a tyrant will get you nowhere.

The Paramount/Warner Bros. Merger is Not What a Free Press Looks Like... critical piece on free press from @neeratanden.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

They literally spent the past 4-plus years blasting Biden over the withdrawal from Afghanistan and how "rushed" it was.

Kristi Noem on Alex Pretti: "I did not call him a domestic terrorist. I said it appeared to be an incident of." Also Kristi Noem: " This individual…committed an act of domestic terrorism. That's the facts.”

🤥 @KristiNoem today: “I didn’t call Alex Pretti a domestic terrorist.” FLASHBACK: she sure did 👇🏽

“No more wars” 🤷🏼

It dawns on Trump the next leader may be worse and this would all be for nothing Seems like he has really thought this through carefully

It happened at a time of his choosing

Defund ICE. Disable the grift. Disempower the Epstein class. Defy authoritarianism. Discredit Trumpism. Deconstruct MAGA. Defeat the GOP. Thank you for your attention to these matters.

Judge slams Trump over 5-year-old: "Observing human behavior confirms that for some among us, the perfidious lust for unbridled power and the imposition of cruelty in its quest know no bounds and are bereft of human decency. And the rule of law be damned." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Two things can be true: we’re a competitive authoritarian state with all sorts of efforts to put a thumb on the scale of who has power AND we have sufficiently free and sufficiently fair elections that every month we see the party in power lose.

BASH: A federal judge in Texas just yesteday said 'administrative warrants issued by the executive branch to itself do not pass probable cause muster. That is called the fox guarding the henhouse.' Why is he wrong? RON JOHNSON: Because this has to with immigration law. Again, I'm not a lawyer.

BASH: Wouldn't ICE wearing body cameras help with what you're describing? RON JOHNSON: I don't have a problem with that personally, but that's not what I heard what Democrats were demanding. Their primary demand was judicial warrants, which is completely unacceptable.

There won't be a “stadium” and we all know it.

Former Texas Lege reporter here. A Dem hasn't held this seat since 1990. Tarrant is the safest of red suburban counties. There is no way the TX and national GOP aren't in panic mode right now.

James Comer spent every day for 2 years and millions of US taxpayer dollars trying to link Joe Biden to Hunter’s appointment to the Burisma board in 2014, but has zero interest in UAE putting $500 million into Trump’s crypto company then getting advanced AI chips from the US.

The overwhelming majority of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, while Trump has increased his net worth by $4 billion since taking office—according to a new report from The New Yorker.

Such blatant corruption — which the media will, of course, totally ignore.

Damn. 😡😡

This is BIG!

And in the least surprising plot twist in history… www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Stop calling us names or we'll keep killing you.

In Minneapolis, we see every part of the pro-democracy coalition coming together We see civil rights leaders, labor unions & organizers mobilizing mass protests That unified front FORCED Trump back I explain on @theweekendmsnow.bsky.social👇-TN

"This review is over" -- Todd Blanche says DOJ is done with the Epstein files

Is that “the problem” Ron? Is that really the problem?

The conservative Financial Times refers to the tech oligarchs who control Al as “psychopaths.” Let that sink in.

1/2. Bovino leaving MN?!?! Let me translate CNN’s garbage headline … “The administration [Trump] is deeply frustrated over how Bovino and Noem [Trump] responded to the murder if Pretti [by using Trump’s strategy of white supremacy, lying and embracing violence.]”

We are now witnessing—some of us in incredulous horror—what happens when a society confuses authority with innocence and violence with virtue. We have built legal doctrines that reward escalation. We have granted weapons to institutions without demanding restraint.

The Atlantic finally catching up with what some of us have been saying for *years*

We are proud to introduce Whiskey Everyday with Joseph Goebbels

Steph Curry on watching the protests from his hotel window: "In negative 10-degree weather. It was beautiful to see that turnout. That speaks to how important people felt to have their voice heard. In those elements and whatever streets outside our hotel, they were out, and it was amazing to watch."

There MUST be accountability.

Wow — retired Army general and former commander of 🇺🇸 Special Operations Command Tony Thomas replies to Miller & Hegseth with the execution freeze frame

“I just checked—it turns out that Art. II, Sec. 1 of the Constitution of the United States does *not* say ‘The executive Power shall be vested in a bunch of sociopaths who think they can do whatever the f*ck they want and make sh*t up as they go along.’” — George Conway

tRUMPSTEIN IS DESTROYING OUR CONSTITUTION!! 1st Amendment: GONE Right to Assemble Freedom of Religion Freedom of Speech Freedom of the Press Right to Petition 2nd Amendment: GONE Right to Keep & Bear Arms 4th Amendment: GONE Unreasonable Searches & Seizures

Naming someone is not doxxing. They aren’t undercover. They aren’t intelligence agents overseas. This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.

🚨"YOU'RE ALL UNDER ARREST" An ominous announcement can be heard on border patrol's radio just moments after their agents THREW Status Coup's reporter Tina-Desiree Berg, and deployed tear and flash bang grenades at the press indiscriminately.⬇️

Homan to MN, Trump speaks with Walz, Leavitt marginally distances Trump from Noem—all show Trump’s feeling a little heat. But these gestures mean as much as Putin suggesting he’s changed and wants peace with Ukraine. Don’t fall for it. Insist: ICE and CBP off the streets of Minnesota.

Think …

In the wake of another fatal shooting in Minneapolis. AG Pam Bondi sends Gov. Walz a letter today making several asks including: "Allow DOJ Civil Rights division access to state voter rolls"

The lying is the story The lying ensures it will happen again

Daily Kos captioned this "The crack in the NATO alliance." Brilliant.
