Every time trump lies, a new gold medallion appears in the Oval Office.

If you have ever wondered how democracies have fallen in other countries, you are watching that right now in America.

🚨 This scene comes to us from Iowa. The man recording this atrocious attack on an innocent man makes it clear that he is a combat veteran, and explains that he is going to video their crimes and he is not to be touched: “I will knock you the fuck out.” 1/2

2/2

8/ If you have tips about new ICE enforcement tactics in courts, my colleagues and I want to hear from you. Reach out to me on Signal (tilleckert.90) or via propublica.org/tips.

1/ I’m Till Eckert, a ProPublica reporter. For the past 2 weeks, I’ve been going to the same NY immigration courthouse. Nearly every time, I see ICE agents arresting immigrants. Today, a woman was slammed to the ground after begging officials not to take her husband away. Thread 👇

2/ I stayed by Monica Moreta-Galarza, who was seeking asylum with her family, until she was discharged from the hospital. “Over [in Ecuador], they beat us there too. I didn’t think I’d come here to the United States and the same thing would happen to me,” she said in Spanish.

Reports from the Miami Herald reveal that a staggering 1,200 people have gone missing from just this one facility. Alcatraz is now drawing comparisons to Auschwitz.

The UK, France, and Germany have warned Russia that NATO would shoot down jets if its airspace is violated again. Russia replied it already sees itself in a military conflict with Europe.

In January 2025, Trump named Halligan as the White House senior associate staff secretary. She advocated for Trump to take action against exhibits at Smithsonian Institution museums that she saw as disparaging the United States. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindsey...

For you kids who don’t remember Scooter Libby, here’s a fun exercise: read Lindsey Halligan’s bio and then read this one for Patrick Fitzgerald, who will be defending Comey. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick...

If you are in the US military, this is your reminder that it is illegal to follow an unlawful order.

Another headline that I had to read multiple times because I didn’t think it was right

The US and Canada scrambled fighter jets to identify and intercept four Russian fighter jets planes off Alaska, it is ninth time in 2025 that NORAD has had to intercept Russian fighters jets doing practice runs on the US and Canada.

I'll just go ahead and leave this here...

Hegseth better have a damn good reason for taking the historic and unprecedented step of summoning the most senior military officers from around the globe to a meeting. That reason better have nothing to do determining with their personal loyalty to Trump or Hegseth.

Jim Comey’s response to the indictment.

Dr. Harleen Grewal in California, everyone. Let's make her famous.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

NEW: For decades, the DOJ relied on the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to foil and forestall attempts to discriminate against minority voters. On Wednesday, the DOJ filed an amicus brief urging the U.S. Supreme Court to devastate and vitiate much of what’s left of the landmark civil rights legislation.

Trump has been the worst president ever for farmers. Twice. But they voted for him three times. Now they want the rest of America to give them welfare. When they did it to themselves. But they don’t like socialism.

For any folks in #Maine who don't know, Sinclair owns the CBS and Fox stations in Portland. Even though they're not ABC, #BoycottSinclair anyhow.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

Oh no. Wait. Don’t go. www.koco.com/article/ryan...

The Epstein survivors are fed up. They’re using Washington’s own playbook — opposition research — on lawmakers blocking the Epstein files. I’m publishing the first piece in “The Reckoning” series in The Red Letter on a GOP senator with close ties to Ghislaine Maxwell. Sign up, link is in BIO.

Trump is relaunching his flopped Trump Vodka brand. It never stops.

Erik Siebert, the federal prosecutor whom President Donald Trump pushed out Friday for declining to prosecute his political enemies, listed as an attorney on 675 federal cases. His replacement, Lindsey Halligan, who's Trump's former lawyer, has worked on only three.

"The words of the most powerful man in the world mean nothing anymore." - The Süddeutsche Zeitung.

NEW on MSNBC: Prosecutors in the EDVA presented new U.S. attorney Lindsey Halligan with a memo explaining why charges should not be brought against James Comey — because there isn't enough evidence to establish probable cause, let alone enough to convince a jury to convict.

Prisoner: “What are you in for?” James Comey: “Seashells.”

An amazing night. An honor to moderate the first stop of Kamala Harris’s book tour.

Sinclair will still not let their ABC affiliates air Jimmy Kimmel. So this is my FREE SPEECH answer on Twitter:

Ken CHESEBRO, an architect of Trump's bid to remain in power despite losing the 2020 election, has been suspended from practicing law in D.C. (he'd already been disbarred/suspended in several states) storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

You cannot trust information coming from Kash Patel's FBI. You cannot trust information coming from ICE. You cannot trust information coming the Trump administration. You cannot trust information coming from Republicans.

To be clear: I don't know what the motive for the attack was. I just know Homeland Security lies a lot and is trying to spin this in a very clear direction. We need independently confirmed facts.

Homeland Security is working hard to depict the Dallas shooting as an attack on ICE rather than an attack on the detainees who were actually shot. DHS says "the shooter fired indiscriminately at the ICE building." "Indiscriminately?" How would they know that? The shooter is dead.

If you’re an incompetent foreign leader who sucks up to Trump, you can get $20 billion from U.S. taxpayers while Trump is cutting Americans’ health care.

Will Lindsey Halligan incinerate her bar license for the cult leader like so many others before her? We will know soon.

Maybe the Fox bobbleheads should shut it and check the numbers. Kimmel pulled 15 million viewers last night. Those are not “low ratings,” that’s a beatdown.

I get that pretty much no one is a fan of Jim Comey. But the idea that he -knowingly and willfully lied to Congress- is just absurd on its face. We’ll see if a grand jury will really indict a ham sandwich, but I think it’s more likely the Trump admin will end up with egg on its face (again)

I know y'all know how important courts are in this fight against fascism. That's why Repubs are trying to defeat our three Democratic justices in the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. Vote to retain: ☑️Kevin M. Dougherty ☑️Christine Donohue ☑️David N. Wecht Vote Blue for these democracy defenders!

Thank you for sharing, TM! ♥️🤍💙✌️
