January. Jamie Raskin puts one question in writing to Bondi and Noem: How many pardoned January 6th rioters are on your payroll? Simple question. DHS called the letter reckless. Disgusting. Unhinged. Then refused to answer it. Three adjectives and no number. That's not a denial. That's a receipt.

ICYMI- Trump’s clown nominees had a rough day on Capitol Hill today. Todd Blanche was grilled about his blind loyalty to Trump, and Jay Clayton embarrassed himself trying to dodge who won the 2020 election.

🤷🏼

Wait, Pete Hegseth wants men in the military to get hormone replacement therapy if their testosterone levels are too low. So basically, Whiskey Pete is pushing gender affirming care. Make it make sense.

Interesting #Blues

Misery and a turtle. 😂🤣😆

Phang: "Blanche didn't produce the handwritten interview notes about the Donald Trump sexual abuse and physical abuse. You know what Blanche said? 'The handwritten notes? Trust me, bro.' I don't have to trust you, Todd Blanche or the Trump DOJ. And the law doesn't have a 'trust me, bro' exception."

She can duck and weave, but Susan Collins is the chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee. She’s responsible for overseeing the appropriations process, including funding for ICE. Collins voted in favor of providing $70 billion in additional funding for ICE and Border Patrol. Vote her out.

REP. @repwalkinshaw.bsky.social: “They don’t want body cameras, they don’t want the 🇺🇸 people to see up close & personal the death & destruction. If there was body cam footage of these 2 incidents the level of outrage across 🇺🇸 would be exponentially higher.”

ICE is killing people on the streets of America. Cold. Read every one of these. Ask yourself: Is this the country we want to be? Then ask yourself this: why aren’t they wearing body cams?

REP. @jamestalarico.bsky.social: “Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was murdered by ICE. He embodied the American Dream. His life was invaluable. His death was senseless. Our neighbor, our fellow Texan, deserves justice.”

It’s really this simple

Donald Trump is a relentless liar. And it is exhausting to share a world with that odious cretin.

Monstrous. Abolish ICE. And punish them. Hold them accountable or this will keep happening.

BREAKING: Several officials at the New York Bar Association are reportedly demanding the association revoke Todd Blanche's law license unless he finally releases all the Epstein Files he was legally required to release months ago.

👇🏽

How many completely innocent people have to die before there is accountability? How are communities supposed to feel safe when federal agents act as judge, jury, and executioner?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

ICE is a cancerous plague upon this nation. A country that endures this kind of disregard for human life does not deserve people to stand when its anthem is sung. It merits no allegiance from decent people... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/ice-is-a-c...

Let’s see here, Trump just lost two Republican Senators to death…and now rumors are he’s about to ‘declare’ that the two Democratic Senators from Georgia are invalid. What a coincidence!

Exclusive: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez reacts to the ICE killings in Maine and Texas

White devils.

Trump isn’t just criticizing the ICC anymore. He’s pledging to take it apart. Marco Rubio said the US will work with our allies (we have none left) to disable the Hague-based tribunal, brick by brick if necessary. Because they know they belong at The Hague. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

I can come up with a lot shit going down with this regime but gas and oil prices are not.

Yes, more proof is needed. How sad is it that we have been duped by them so much, we even have to question? The things they will do to stay in power.

Trump wants to cancel the First Amendment. You can only believe what he rules is acceptable to believe.

Buttigieg: We gotta get out there and build that new governing vision, not by preaching to the choir, not by only talking to everyone who already agrees with us, but by finding the people who haven’t always voted our way and changing how they see us by showing that we see them.

I wish more journalists would point out that Sen. McConnell and Rep. Tom Kean (missed 4 months of work) are/were essentially on paid sick & medical leave. The same employment protection they’ve spent their careers blocking other Americans from having.

Not going to lie. Yes. Karma does have her ways.

“.. The analysts, a husband and wife, told colleagues they did not believe the investigation was justified under FBI and Justice Department policies, the people said, adding that the couple was escorted out of their office ..” @ms.now www.ms.now/news/fbi-kas...

Lindsey Graham spent the last decade of his life in public service as a US Senator, trying hard to be remembered as an enemy of the Constitution who worked to destroy American democracy and exhibited occasional signs that he knew why that was bad but kept doing it anyway. I will honor his choice.

STEPPING UP Colin Kaepernick is funding an independent autopsy so Nolan Wells’ family can get answers they can trust. Tyler Perry is covering Nolan’s funeral so the family can focus on grieving instead of worrying about the bill. They didn’t have to do this. They chose to, and that matters.

This post is mainly for white folks to consider. I want to share something that may help you understand the reaction from Black folks who immediately looked at the Nolan Wells story and thought, “Something is foul here.” This isn’t proof that foul play occurred. It’s context. 🧵

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court DISMISSES Department of Justice lawsuit to obtain an unredacted copy of New York's statewide voter registration list. A big victory for Elias Law Group and our Client the NAACP. DOJ is now 0-12 in these cases. ELG is undefeated. www.democracydocket.com/cases/new-yo...

If the Strait of Hormuz is already open, as the Trump administration has repeatedly claimed, why is it now demanding that Iran publicly acknowledge it’s open and pledge to stop firing on commercial ships? Which is it?

Sooo???? “Kash out” ?🫪😂😂

Kash Patel had to cancel his Chicago booty call because the White House basically said, “Get your ass back here and explain yourself.” ☠️

BREAKING: The Trump White House just ousted all three sitting members of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission — hamstringing the bipartisan agency ahead of the midterms. The EAC helps state and local officials run elections, including by certifying election equipment.

The Trump administration is losing in court over and over and over again. But that doesn’t spell the end of the story, Marc Elias says. “For every time we beat them in court, they can use other tactics.” Stay vigilant. Stay in the know: https://bit.ly/4qskS3m

Ken Paxton just denied our public information request for the Hoffman Files. Adam Hoffman — an admitted child molester — should be in prison, but Ken Paxton let him off the hook. Texans deserve to know why. We don’t need any more pedophile protectors in our government.

Republicans are always going on about dead people voting. Wonder if Mitch McConnell will be one of them.

SHOCK NYT REPORT: DHS now admits the man ICE killed in Houston wasn't even their target. Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a 35-year U.S. resident, was just driving to work when agents — with no body cameras — shot him dead searching for two other men who weren't even in the van. Gift link in reply.

1/4 A stomach parasite doesn't care about politics. It cares about weak safeguards. As Cyclospora cases surge across multiple states, Taco Bell is pulling fresh ingredients while investigators trace the source.

ALL IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS 🕊️ Trump says he would let peace talks continue 💥 Hours later, he declares the ceasefire is over 📈 Oil prices are surging ✈️ Trump abandoned Qatar’s gifted Air Force One and flew the older model instead, raising security concerns

ICE agents shot and killed an unarmed civilian in Houston, Texas. The victim was a construction worker, a father of three US citizens, had lived in the US for 35 years and was applying for a work permit. He panicked and tried to flee when he mistook masked, armed ICE agents for thieves.

📌Trump brutally attacked our NATO allies today — countries that have stood with us for decades — then tried to clean it up in a completely unhinged press conference hours later. I cannot imagine how badly Biden would have been assaulted if he had done this. The double standards are absurd.

“How can one be disqualifying but not both?” @ScottJenningsKY attempts to defend the indefensible (as usual) - as Republicans say Platner must be canceled even as they make Trump president, despite court cases + bragging about sexually assaulting women, Epstein, etc. H/T @acyn.bsky.social

A normal person would just say, “Excuse me, I meant President Zelenskyy, not President Putin.” But this senile motherf*cker doubles down.
