🚨Pam Bondi just ordered the FBI to compile a list of American "extremists" and to establish a bounty fund to reward tipsters, per DOJ memo leaked to me: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/leak-fbi-l...

The GOP enacted civil service reform. The GOP will destroy civil service reform. The GOP is NOT the same party that it was. Keep this in mind when they claim Lincoln as their own

It's BEEN time to dump Spotify. Since this article, the music platform has also started running ICE recruitment ads. Is your Wrapped really worth it? https://bit.ly/44cgegy

Trump hung up on a ProPublica reporter after being asked whether his Florida mortgages were similar to those of others he had accused of fraud. 🤔

"Now that I've hit everyone with ruinous taxes, I'll dole some of it back out to my political supporters as welfare payments."

Happening now: Texas leaders announcing a rollout of a statewide program to put TPUSA chapters in high schools and colleges across the state. Gov. Abbott adds that schools that stand in the way should be reported to the Texas Education Agency.

So he wants us to dress up when we go on airplanes but also to work out immediately beforehand?

This is how the economy works now. You kiss the ass of the top guy, he throws you favors. There is no ideology here, it's just mafia rules, the oldest rules in the book.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

I am pleased to announce another no-talent year!

Justice Jackson to Solicitor General Sauer (just now, in Trump v. Slaughter arguments):

It appears that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has, within the past week, scrubbed a large amount of climate change content from its official website, as well as *removed human-caused warming* from the discussion on its "causes of climate change" page.

Duffy on what he's doing to improve the airport experience for travelers: "Maybe I want a workout area where people might get some blood flowing doing some pull ups or step ups in the airport."

Brooke Rollins: "Eggs are down. Really everything is coming down. But listen, we're not tone deaf. We know that a lot of Americans are like, 'Well, we're still not feeling the relief.' The relief is coming ... it really is a golden age just right around the corner."

“I’d have no problem releasing the video” “I didn’t say that, you said that. Fake news.” 5 days apart 😬 (From @therecount.com )

Heather Cox Richardson offers the most lucid explanation(s) of the way Trump and his cronies are taking a hammer to our beautiful America. Get her daily letter wherever you get your podcasts.

WATCH: An ICE agent pushes away a home security camera as she approaches a house. This is what a police state looks like.

Donald Trump said he’ll “be involved in” deciding if Netflix can buy Warner Bros. Is that an open invite for CEOs to curry favor with Trump in exchange for merger approvals? It should be an independent decision by the Department of Justice based on the law and facts.

Trump rages that Henry Cuellar didn’t pay him back for a pardon by switching parties, blasting Cuellar for a “lack of LOYALTY.” In other words, Trump admits he was trying to use his pardon power to buy Republicans a House seat.

Last Saturday, 50,000 people attempted to block the founding convention for the new youth organization of the far-right AfD party on Nov. 29 in Germany. Wide-ranging actions-including 19 blockades around the small city-prevented a majority of participants from attending. Police beat the blockaders.

Imagine thinking that people come to America to "access unlimited welfare for life"

Under Trump, America is committing war crimes. But under Biden, there were irritating student protests at a college I did not attend. I have never felt more politically homeless.

Whether these men were on a list or not is irrelevant THERE. IS. NO. JUSTIFICATION. FOR. KILLING. SHIPWRECKED. MEN.

There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.

27-year-old Honduran man with end-stage renal failure denied dialysis until he signed a voluntary deportation order. Abolish DHS completely. Arrest most of its leaders.

Feds gassed and tackled people in Elgin today, the same day Kristi Noem was in Chicago for a Christmas photo op, after a few weeks of relative quiet. I'm remembering that old story about groundskeepers at Versailles who would only turn the palace fountains on when the king came by.

The only time Article 5 of the NATO Treaty was invoked was to defend us, not for us to defend Europe. European soldiers and civilians died fighting with us and working next to us in Afghanistan. Europe was not attacked on September 11, 2001.

41 minutes of watching two shipwrecked men trying to flip a boat and signaling for surrender/help before firing on them again reminds me of the 9.5 minutes Derek Chauvin knelt on George Floyd’s neck, in that it’s an agonizingly long time to be killing helpless people who clearly posed no threat.

Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks. They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.

“U.S. Border Patrol agents detained multiple people with work permits and American citizenship in the agency's "Catahoula Crunch" immigration sweeps so far, according to immigrant rights groups and attorneys representing one detainee.”

To be very clear, Kennedy's team is messing with a vaccine which has led to a 99 percent drop in the incidence of hepatitis B, which kills, early and painfully, 25 percent of the people who get it as children. lnk.thebulwark.com/3Xt957M

Frankly, if you're on a small wooden boat over a thousand miles from the U.S. and a sophisticated U.S. missile kills 9, leaving just you and one other on the badly damaged boat and you decide you're going to "continue the mission" to the U.S., amnesty and a commission in the Navy seem in order.

What does Stay in the Fight even mean? Did the boat folks shoot back? Were they clinging to the capsized boat trying to flip it over while also holding onto guns to shoot back with? Does the video clearly show drugs on the boat or any bundles floating on the water after before/after strike?

I cannot imagine the level of moral bankruptcy to describe the actions of people whose boat has just been hit by a missile from nowhere (this was the FIRST such strike) and who were most likely making a desperate attempt not to drown in the ocean as trying to "stay in the fight."

No "two different realities" bullshit. One side is calling for release of the video, and the other is not.

The boat was split in half. They were clinging to a capsized PORTION Cotton: "I saw two survivors trying to flip a boat -- loaded with drugs, bound for the United States -- back over, so they could stay in the fight"

Yeah, a House member needs to send up that impeachment flag. This is illegal, immoral, dangerous behavior — that is also likely unconstitutional as well.

helps to think about the details like any regular crime you'd see on one of the 800 cop shows that run on TV constantly: these guys committed one set of murders, thought it over, and then decided to kill the witnesses as part of the coverup. mention of drugs is just jingling keys at this point

Himes: "What I saw in that room was one of the most troubling things I've seen in my time in public service ... any American who sees the video that I saw will see the US military attacking shipwrecked sailors."

Religion note: Remember that pastor who was arrested protesting an ICE detention facility outside Chicago recently? The one who was photographed on the ground as officers arrested him? That's Rev. Michael Woolf, and this is his church.

If after we blow your boat up you still float, you are a witch, so we can kill you. If you drown you are not a witch.

This gangster government steals everyone’s property and doesn’t care about the laws respecting the rights of creators. Everything they see belongs to them like the greedy leeches on this country that they are.

President Trump has now pardoned 12 members of Congress convicted of crimes varying from tax evasion, campaign corruption, lying to the FBI, bribery, insider trading, obstruction, etc. If Jeff Epstein were alive today, he’d be a free man in Trump’s America.
