Turner: We need to be on the side of what [Ukrainians] want, which is sovereignty. They're on the side of democracy, liberty. And Russia's on the side of authoritarianism and aggression. Karl: Which side is Trump on? Turner: uh — I — you know, clearly — um —you know—Trump is on the side of peace.

The 5 sanctioned individuals by the US government are leaders of: Centre for Countering Digital Hate HateAid (who got recently the German Federal Cross of Merit) Global Disinformation Index (former) EU Commissioner for digital affairs Any further questions?

'Smallest audience ever': Kennedy Center Honors tank on CBS after Trump takes over www.rawstory.com/trump-kenned...

I’m in Miami, Indiana today continuing my ICE oversight work by visiting the detention facility where our neighbors arrested in Operation Midway Blitz are being held. Here’s what I saw.

BREAKING The US Supreme Court has blocked President Trump from deploying the National Guard to Chicago. 6-3 vote with Justices Thomas, Alito and Gorsuch dissenting.

The US Department of Justice acting as a personal attorney for the President of the United States.

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

Damned if you do; damned if you don't. The government spent months turning immigration court into a deportation trap.

Read the full email Sharyn Alfonsi sent her team about CBS pulling their segment on the Trump admin’s deportations of Venezuelan migrants

Woman comes to US at age 6. Graduates nursing school. Work permit. No criminal record. Snatched and imprisoned by ICE for 6 months now. About to be forced back to Honduras. A life destroyed and one less nurse. Merry Christmas. www.nola.com/news/educati...

ICE whistles work.

this is one of the most psychotic things Trump has ever posted

NEW: A major shift in underway in recent months kicked into gear this week, with ICE trial attorneys around the country asking immigration "judges" to toss out *nearly all* asylum applications on the grounds of "safe third country" agreements with Uganda, Honduras, Ecuador, and Guatemala.

ICE Shoots Protester Point Blank In The Face With Pepper Bullet - Elgin, IL December 6th

UPDATE: Another Chicago-area church has put up an immigration-themed Nativity scene. A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”

Idiocy. Bigotry. Cruelty.

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."

Wow. "It gives me no pleasure to say what I’m about to say because I worked with Pete Hegseth for seven or eight years at Fox News. This is an act of a war crime .... There’s absolutely no legal basis for it.” - Newsmax's Judge Napolitano

Trump on Minnesota's Somali community: "They contribute nothing. I don't want them in our country, I'll be honest with you."

Fuck you if you support him.

This is a must read. The most in depth understanding of how corrupt our foreign policy has become. Trump and Witkoff (Rubio totally sidelined) are proposing to sell out Ukraine in exchange for Russian deals for their billionaire crowd. Not about peace. Just about profit.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

Hot off the keyboard and gifted: Hegseth has to go. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

This. The second strike is important bc AFTER that one, they started leaving survivors (plus, why the fuck can't Whiskey Pete's DOD manage to destroy a boat in uncontested waters the first strike?). But all these are murder. Murder murder murder murder.

“In nearly all of the examples Judge Ellis cited in her 200-plus page opinion, she says the Department of Homeland Security narrative contradicts the reality of what can be seen on agents' body-worn cameras.” abc7chicago.com/post/ice-chi...

Her parents owe their lives to the United States accepting them as asylum seekers fleeing religious persecution in Iraq in the 1980s. She wouldn't be here if we had not offered her family safe haven. The hypocrisy is stunning.

Extraordinary WSJ reporting today that unveils the extent to which Trump, Witkoff, Kushner and US business executives are salivating over business deals with Russia while Putin’s forces kidnap Ukranian children and bomb civilians in their apartments. 🎁 www.wsj.com/world/russia...

You're not seeing the defense and international conflict experts disagreeing because if the facts are true, it's one of the most basic things in the law of armed conflict: You cannot kill people who are "hors de combat," taken out of the game by injury or attack. This is Geneva 101 stuff.

Northwestern University capitulates to Trump extortion racket, agreeing to pay Trump $75 mn and make other concessions stripping itself of academic independence.

Pete Hagueseth. We should make it a thing.

This is murder. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

It is likely just as important that AFTER this first murderboat (where Whiskey Pete personally ordered two survivors be murdered), there were two strike where survivors were left alive. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

He’s simply incapable…he’s humanly incapable of thinking about or caring about anyone or anything but himself. He’s just incapable of it. Well done America.

NEW data I've received: Just 5% of people detained by ICE since October 1 have had violent criminal convictions, 3/4 had no criminal convictions at all. Most "criminals" had immigration, traffic, and vice offenses. Not the "worst of the worst"...

The first official confirmation that Noem herself made the decision not to turn the planes around. A couple hundred men were tortured as a result — and soon after, the Supreme Court confirmed that the Trump admin’s Alien Enemies Act process was a total violation of due process.

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

This is heartbreakingly cruel and hypocritical. The same admin that has redefined refugee status to cover white South Africans is now going to drown thousands of refugees already approved for their status in red tape, potentially even seeking to strip some of their status and deport them.

A Maryland family is trying to get their loved one back after she was deported from the U.S. to a country they say she had no ties to. Video that’s made international news shows her being dragged by people her family believes worked for Ghana’s government.

Trump went on a late night posting bender last night on the war in Ukraine. He criticized Biden, he criticized the U.S., he criticized Ukraine, he criticized Zelensky, he criticized our European allies. The only person he didn’t criticize is Putin. Only Putin. Shocker, huh?

Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was. Spending in FY2025 was not only than in FY2024 – but higher than it was projected to be when Trump first took office.* The little bit of spending DOGE cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually lead to millions of deaths.

We don’t need to reform ICE. We don’t need alternatives to ICE. We don’t need to engage in dishonest debates wondering what the U.S. would do without ICE. ICE isn’t even 23 years old. Most adults know a world without ICE. And the billions used to fund ICE can be used to meet people’s basic needs.

Here's a weird, bad story about this moment in America.

I'm not saying the Trump Administration is stacked with Soviet assets. I'm just wondering, if they *were* Soviet assets, what would they be doing differently?

‼️ Reuters revealed just how much territory Ukraine must hand over to Russia without a fight, per Trump's demand. Trump's plan calls for the withdrawal of AFU from the unoccupied parts of Donbas and Luhansk region—specifically, the Sloviansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration.

Awesome reporting by @unraveledpress.com

#BREAKING Federal prosecutors in Chicago move to dismiss charges against Marimar Martinez, the woman shot by Border Patrol in Brighton Park, as well as her co-defendant Anthony Ruiz.

POTUS is on a rager this morning over that Dem video urging service members to refuse illegal orders.

This is disgusting.

Trump on Jerome Powell: "I'd love to fire his ass. He should be fired. The only thing Scott [Bessent] is blowing it on is the Fed. The rates are too high, Scott. And if you don't get it fixed fast, I'm going to fire your ass."
