ICE is in fact the worst of the worst

Harlan Crow promised to build Fetterman a bride

Good morning. For anyone that needs to hear this: Boobytrap spelled backwards is partyboob.

this urge to launder rfk jr. as “just a guy who is right about a few things” is such a perfect example of how liberals are people who won’t take their own side in a fight

a literal car dealer trying to sanction another country for wildfire smoke really gets at the essence of climate politics

The same Harlan Crow who has a mansion full of Nazi memorabilia?🙄

BREAKING🚨: 120 buoys staged for Trump's Rio Grande floating barrier broke loose near Eagle Pass, closing bridges. They're drifting toward Laredo, where officials declared an emergency, expecting them at the Colombia Bridge by Sunday, threatening water supplies & trade. Read full story: 🔗🦂

GET LOW

Preventing some Iranian villagers from getting drinking water does nothing to prevent the IRGC from firing missiles and drones. Water is a red line. I know those of you who hate the US military and US foreign policy won’t care about the difference, but it’s significant, with very bad implications.

Today, New Yorkers marched for Good Trouble, and left behind flowers & banners outside 26 Federal Plaza, a place that’s turned into one of fear & violence for immigrant families. Our message is simple. We see you, we love you, we’re with you, and we won’t stop until everyone is free.

Heard from some state forestry folks that their equipment is in such crappy shape, a bulldozer broke down WHILE THEY WERE USING IT TO FIGHT A FIRE. Like, dudes nearly burned to death bc of maintenance budget cuts. Bc the money's going to pay wealthy landowners not to farm.

he wants a job he’s pretending not to understand

It’s worth noting that Taco Bell identified the source before the FDA did, and promptly pulled it from their stores. The FDA didn’t even name the source until Taylor Farms outed themselves, and hasn’t issued a recall. Basically, Taco Bell is now a more reliable authority than the FDA.

NEW: Aurora Police say an ICE detention center employee shot a protester last night. She is expected to survive. 42-year-old Brandon Booth, who works for the ICE contractor GEO Group, is being held on suspicion of attempted second degree murder and other charges.

They’re going to kill more people

Yesterday, WIRED learned that Madison Square Garden was suing us for our accurate reporting. We stand by our work. That’s why we’re removing the paywall from two of the MSG stories they don’t want you to read, making them free for everyone.

There were 11 people working at the CDC lab that responds to outbreaks of the parasite cyclospora. Now there are 3 thanks to DOGE

“You said the 2020 election was rigged by either Venezuela or China. When you called that fella in Georgia pleading for 11,780 votes, was that part of the rigging, or part of the 6-year investigation? Just one more thing, sir, who was president while all this rigging took place?”

CPD Internal Affairs referred Carlos Baker to a program for troubled cops in May 2025. IA never answered an email about the referral; Baker wasn't enrolled. Could have led to duty change or firing. Baker fatally shot his partner (accidental, acc to authorities) couple weeks later. #chicago

Markwayne, the Oklahoma plumber, a college drop out, says he has all the training and instincts needed to fix Trump's elections problems... and it starts with a simple idea: Markwayne will decide who can vote and who can't. bsky.app/profile/atru...

On what charge?

He has no authority to do this. If he claims he has authority, it’s because they’ve manufactured the conditions for such authority. This is tyranny. RESIST IT.

The dumb do not care how right you are They are on another mission

I've lived in Beijing, and the thing is - they don't have elections.

Unhealthy to hazardous air today as wildfire smoke from Canada visits. You'll smell it when heading out... Limit outdoor activity, keep windows closed, and AC on. Showers and storms Saturday. Details on the Capital Weather app. (Photo by Jeanne Stuart McVey)

Casually threatening mass rapes

The most dangerous speech ever given by someone in this administration...came today...from Stephen Miller. He said our institutions are too soft to defend themselves. Read it again. The courts aren't the fix. They're the obstacle.

I sincerely hope every single Hispanic contractor who has ever considered voting for a Republican realizes that if they are victims of an ICE murder their workplace supplies will be used to smear them as a drug dealer too

And there it is.

Reckless, juvenile, performative idiot in too much makeup.

Says the guy who doesn't even live in the state he represents.🙄

everything he's attributing to left wing terrorism is just stuff he and trump are literally doing, I think my head's going to explode

As always: if there's any class of people who do not have due process rights, then *nobody* has due process rights, because the government can just claim someone is in that class and there's no process to establish otherwise.

WOW. The ex-wife of the ICE officer who shot a 26-year-old Colombian man in Maine has come forward to say that he had mental health issues and was abusive in their relationship. She says after the shooting he called asking her to vouch for him — instead, she went to the press.

AOC after Trump reversed course on halting ICE traffic stops. “This is the guy that said he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue, and people would still support him…And now he has an agency shooting people out in the street. And at this point, it's practically a campaign promise from this guy.”

wow -- Tillis eviscerates Vought about DOGE's fake budget cuts & tells him, "My understanding is the last time you worked in the business world was at B Dalton's books when you were putting yourself through law school...I don't love the idea of DOGE shit we're picking up because people did it wrong"

"The South Jersey store's owner, Johnny Gabagool, says the theft spoiled around $20,000 worth of food." come the fuck on.

Unlike most of McSweeney's posts, this is deadly serious: NO SNARK, SATIRE, OR HUMOR.

NEW: FCC commissioners may have accepted gifts worth tens of thousands of dollars from Paramount last year. Now, the company is seeking FCC approval to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery. We just filed a complaint calling for the FCC inspector general to investigate.

There are whole ass countries that don't have 22 shootings by law enforcement in a decade. Yet we don't eye to an agency w/ 20k ghouls hitting that mark in less than 2 years. #AmericanExceptionalism

I’m interested in any political imagination for accountability. It has to be proactive & retroactive. It has to be spectacular. And, ideally, it would leave so many of them broke that it actually becomes a deterrent. Being poor is truly all they care about not because they don’t care about prison.

The government will murder you if you exercise your constitutional rights to free speech and petitioning them for redress of grievances.

Amanda Moore has reported on and videotaped ICE actions around the U.S. Currently in Maine reporting on ICE activity and related actions since the brutal killing of Johan Sebástian Guerrero in Biddeford, she is looking for attorneys who worked with Maine Somalis in asylum cases. Help her out!

Somebody needs to hear this… Your spiritual walk not strong enough for natural deodorant

Leavitt says the teleprompter guy who reportedly was making money betting on Trump's speeches is on "paid administrative leave"

Kremlin closed the borders to the west with Finland, Estonia, and Lithuania, and to the east with Kazakhstan, Georgia, and Azerbaijan. They are doing this in order to keep people in who might want to leave to avoid mass mobilization. This is something we should be watching.

Head of the Heritage Foundation in July 2024. It’s not like voters weren’t warned.

We live in THE most insane timeline.
