There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

It’s not a crime to be in this country as an undocumented person. It’s a civil violation. But you know what is a crime? Taking a bribe from undercover agents in exchange for the promise of government contracts WHEN YOU’RE THE FCKING BORDER CZAR.

Exactly this

the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok

An independent United Nations commission said Israel was committing genocide in Gaza. It found indications of intentions to destroy, in whole or in part, Palestinians in the Gaza Strip as a group — which it said amount to genocide.

SWALWELL: Did you ever tell the AG that Trump's name is in the Epstein files PATEL: The AG and I have had numerous discussions about the entirety of the Epstein files S: Did you tell AG that Trump's name is in the files? P: *crashes out* S: We'll take your evasiveness as consciousness of guilt

Built in the 13th century. So that mosque stood for 800 years with every sort of person from every place and every religion in the world passing through Gaza century after century, only for it to be blown up by some shithead loser sitting behind a computer that we probably paid for.

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

@govpritzker.illinois.gov's take on Kirk is the correct one: "Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it." On point. So glad Democrats are saying this.

Breaking News: A federal appeals court blocked President Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to quickly remove Venezuelans from the U.S.

Wow imagine that

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services plans to begin a pilot program in six states that would use a tactic employed by private insurers that has been heavily criticized for delaying and denying medical care.

Dearest Martha, The National Guard stand solemn watch at the Krispy Kreme tonight. I cannot tell if they defend the people from the donuts, or the donuts from the people. Powdered sugar hangs in the air like cannon smoke. Jensen took a hot coffee to the face, he may never recover. Yours in glaze,

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said sanctuary jurisdictions could lose federal funding, and officials there could face criminal prosecution if the Justice Department determines they are unlawfully impeding federal immigration enforcement.

Here is the chart showing the growth of reported protest over time, 2025 vs. 2017, referenced in the piece below.

Bondi purports to appoint an “emergency police commissioner” and orders specific DC policy on sanctuary laws to be deleted from police guidance. I’m no expert, but this seems illegal under the Home Rule Act, which says only that the President may direct DC police to “provide services.”

During oral arguments in the Posse Comitatus Act trial, California's lawyer contextualizes the "standing army" of nearly 5,000 troops in the U.S.'s second largest city. "That’s larger than the entire force sent to Afghanistan in the three months following Sept. 11, 2001," she says.
