The judge asked the government to file this letter motion and asked these specific questions about jurisdiction and standing. Not to be a Debbie Downer but I don’t think the judge has the authority to appoint a special master. Someone needs to file suit over the Epstein files first.

Thomas Massie calls out Pam Bondi over the Epstein Files

Investigating elected officials for speech is not law enforcement but intimidation. If governors and mayors can be investigated for criticizing federal actions, neither elected officials nor anyone else is truly free to speak. #holdfast

I pay my mother's pharmacy bill each month. It's gone from a few dollars to nearly $100. She is 90 and has many medications. This is after Medicare and Medicaid pitch in.

Daily Reminder.

Sooo… we should eat less and turn down our heat. Great inflation strategy! 👏👏👏

America went apoplectic when Bill Clinton openly lied to us all, and rightfully so. Trump and his regime of monsters unrepentantly lie to us every time they open the mouths, cheat us out of our tax dollars, threaten us, imprison us, kill us yet we go on like it is just another day. WAKE UP!!

Ernst Röhm, leader of Hitler's Brownshirts, showed how to build an authoritarian paramilitary: recruit men selected for their propensity for violence and absolute loyalty to a leader, then grant them legal immunity, and pay far better than they could earn elsewhere. This is ICE.

America 🇺🇸As a reminder of the differences between President Obama and the Orange mongrel in the White House! Trump could never hold a candle to the achievements of President Obama!! Trump steals, bullies and destroys people! Obama uplifts , inspires & he’s loved🤗 #DemVoice1 #DemsUnited #ProudBlue

REPORTER: Do you commit to not militarily engaging NATO partners? TRUMP: I don't talk about that REPORTER: You're not willing to commit to not attacking a NATO partner?

McLAUGHLIN: Racial animus has no place in DHS and of course is not use CNN: *plays clip of ICE agents asking Minneapolis woman where she was born* McLAUGHLIN: I haven't seen this clip before. She might've been assaulting law enforcement prior to this.

95 miles west of Minneapolis The town of WILLMAR MINN small town. NO CRIMINALS NO DRUGS They have a family owned Mexican restaurant there El Tapatio ICE AGENTS HAD THE AUDACITY TO EAT DINNER & the staff was in fear ICE waited down the road Restaurant closed ARRESTED THEM Sickening ⬇️!!

GOV. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social : “Trump has tried to stoke a civil war... It is a disgrace what he’s doing in Minneapolis and all across America. It is a disgrace DHS is posting white supremacy… None of this can be normalized — he is terrorizing communities.”

Tens of thousands of Cubans demonstrated Friday outside the U.S. Embassy in Havana to decry the killing of 32 Cuban officers in Venezuela and demand that the U.S. government release former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. https://to.pbs.org/4bzWBTU

ICE IN LOS ANGELES Wednesday, ICE rolled up in an unmarked truck and turned LA into a rooftop chase scene. Construction workers, jumping buildings, agents climbing ladders, all to terrorize people trying to do a day’s work. No arrests. Just fear. Just risk. Just trauma.

Joe Rogan is telling his millions of listeners the Trump admin is acting like Nazis. Shawn Ryan is telling his millions of listeners the White House is actively protecting pedophiles. Meanwhile, the paid GOP shills on Twitter want you to believe Trump is as popular as ever.

They cannot pass a simple background check 🤦🏻‍♀️🤬

This is a "must read" Editorial Opinion. Thank you, www.startribune.com 👍✊👊 Please repost! www.startribune.com/editorial-mi...

Donald Trump scrapped free entry to National Parks on Martin Luther King Jr. Day and replaced it with his own birthday. California will not be following that path. I've directed California State Parks to offer free entry at more than 200 participating parks on MLK Day.

MASSIVE BREAKING: A Trump Border patrol agent appears to be a violent, criminal, gangbanging, MS-13 drug cartel member, according to Trump and many within MAGA. Off to CECOT torture prison in El Salvador, he goes, without any form of due process whatsoever!! Isn’t that how this works?

In 1943!!! “Nobel Literature laureate Knut Hamsun famously gave his Nobel medal and diploma to Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels as a gesture of admiration for the Nazi regime, following his support for the occupation….”

Donald Trump didn’t just flip off a worker at a Ford plant in Michigan — he flipped off the entire American auto industry.

In case you didn’t get the memo, everyone is feeling very Chinese these days. Chronically online people like @lmatsakis.bsky.social and I have been tracking the zeitgeist of "You met me at a very Chinese time of my life," "Chinamaxxing," and all other variations. Here's why everyone is saying it:

Cheaters and liars should presume that they are being filmed youtu.be/iuu8ExFBQRo

Terribly uncanny how relevant this is to today.

“The better definition for Trumpism is an ancient word that should nonetheless be familiar to anyone who recalls the founding ideals of this country: tyranny,” @digby56.bsky.social writes.

“But Kristi Noem hasn’t just changed the way ICE presents itself. The tactics the agency now uses and the ideas fueling its mission are eerily identical to the vision of the Proud Boys that McInnes laid out from the group’s very beginnings.”
