As officer Daniel Hodges sat at the witness table of a recent Senate subcommittee hearing, Sen. Peter Welch (D-VT) asked the witnesses to raise their hands if they supported the pardons of Jan 6 rioters, including those who beat officer Hodges You can see Hodges looking at the responses

"Haha! Wipe out!" Status Coup's @JonFarinaPhoto captured ICE agents laughing as they ran over a local Minneapolis resident with their car on December 9th, 2025.. ICE agents can also be seen pepper spraying residents and activists. #iceagents #iceraids #icenews #minneapolis #iceprotest #news

They keep asking me to take cognitive tests every couple months because I'm so good at them, they want to see if I can beat my high score

Disgusting. This is completely unacceptable and a new low for the Trump administration. This should be changed back immediately.

OK, seriously. This is wild. Judge Jay Bybee (1) raises a new issue — the Domestic Violence Clause of the Constitution — to consider in the troop deployment cases; (2) extensively details its historical application;

But I would eat five hundred cookies And I would eat five hundred more Just to be the man who ate a thousand Cookies to fall down at your door Da-da da da (Da-da da da) Da-da da da (Da-da da da) Da-da dum diddy dum diddy dum diddy da da da

The President of the United States unilaterally levied a tax on all of us and is redistributing our taxes to a core segment of his supporters.

LeBron makes the game fun. I love it.

He is stealing our money, to be clear. This is theft of public resources.

During ratification of the 14th Amendment, senators discussed whether the Citizenship Clause would apply to the children of immigrants and resoundingly concluded that it did. The text and history all point in one direction and the counter-arguments are patently fraudulent. I am going to lose my mind

It is a sad day, but shrinkflation has come for the pickle lifter in my jar of Malle cornichons. I just realized they are no longer putting it in the jars. Boo! Boo!

Sen. Bill Cassidy is like someone who hires the arsonist to be Fire Chief, sees him set the town ablaze, does nothing to put out the fire or replace the Fire Chief he fucking hired, but does go on the news to say he is pro hydrant. Useless fucking coward.

Thank you, @wyden.senate.gov . Quite so. www.finance.senate.gov/ranking-memb...

The country's biggest anti-vaccine lawyer, the guy behind weakened school mandates in Mississippi and West Virginia, who pulls in millions a year harassing the CDC on behalf of Del Bigtree's anti-vaxx org is ... presenting at ACIP. This panel is anti-vaccine theater. It's a cruel joke.

Bad framing: ACIP voted to scrap the universal hepatitis B vaccine recommendation for newborns. Accurate framing: Anti-vax conspiracy theorists appointed to ACIP by Robert Kennedy Jr., who made a fortune as an anti-vax profiteer, voted to expose babies to a preventable, incurable, deadly illness.

If the Supreme Court makes you mad keep in mind that within the last week Democratic senators have been voting for GOP judges to get on the federal bench

• There is no bottom. (Trump will never fail to go lower) • With his absolute pardon power, and a pliant Supreme Court, Trump can wipe away all crimes done on his behalf and he will. (This includes criminal contempt of federal courts) • Only Trump's death will get us out from his control.

Oh country, won't you buy me a Golden Ballroom? My friends all have palaces, I barely have room. I paved over a garden, no roses will bloom. So, oh, country, won't you buy me a Golden Ballroom?

Trump is rot through with hatred and bigotry. It is eating away at his flesh and bones from the inside. His putrid soul can hardly contain his raging malevolence and violence. I expect his own body to abandon him soon, and at the latest by June 14, 2026, the night of the fight at the White House.

You're going to see a lot of pixels about today's CDC ACIP meeting. The most important thing to keep in mind is that it's all a sham, it's not on the level. CDC no longer works for the American people. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices is stocked with snake oil sellers and quacks.

I made an app. Mostly to see if I could. It got accepted to the Apple app store, so that is good. It's not even like a commercial app or anything. It's just stuff related to the digits of pi. And because I am probably the world's worst capitalist, I don't have a link or name or anything for you.

An entire room full of powerful old white people smiling and laughing as the president dehumanizes black immigrants and the first black president. Just fucking pathetic.

Not that anybody cares, but I already did not like my insufficiently progressive House Rep, Ted Lieu. But once he voted to honor that fucking bigoted racist piece of shit Charlie Kirk, he lost 100% of my respect. Honestly, every time I think of that vote it makes me sick. Fuck Ted Lieu.

Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars. She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

they are doing it because they want to.

This theory of mine still holds and often explains why nearly everyone surrounding Trump is ethically, morally, or criminally challenged. Why his nominees are monumentally unqualified, evil people, like Gaetz and Hegseth and others.

I'm makin' orders, my cabinet can't wait They beg to tell me, tell me I'm great So I got an Oval Office, gold plating on the wall If you need a pardon, maybe I'll call

I fixed your headline, New York Times! You’re welcome!

NEW via my #FOIA: These are all the divisions at FBI involved in the review of the Epstein files earlier this year. Between March 15 and March 22, 934 FBI agents and other personnel reviewed the recors

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

This is complete horse shit. Prasad is an anti-vaxxer.

Austin Reaves was the untradeable player all along.

Trump is the worst American to have ever lived. Just a disaster as a human, destructive to our nation itself, its standing in the world, and causing chaos, hatred and wanton constitutional abuse, corrupting nearly every system and arm of government under his control and some he doesn't even control.

It is unfathomable that the USG lawyers would sign off on a no-survivors boat strike (no get of jail free card). There's clear precedent dating back to World War II trial of Germans for that very act, which lawyers know well. The Peleus World War II War Crimes Trial www.usni.org/magazines/na...

Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing "Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions." Report by @alexhorton.bsky.social @ellenwapo.bsky.social o.bsky.social

I try very hard not to talk about the Clintons. Donald Trump had a lifetime reputation as a racist, as a con man, as an asshole. President Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton chose, like every Republican today, to be kind to him, to fete him, to befriend him. And they did it for the same reason.

The reality, of course, is that Miller and a significant portion of Trump’s base are the ones who failed to assimilate to America’s post-WWII culture of multi-racial democracy & religious pluralism…and they are now using their power to destroy that once dominant (and still popular) American culture.

Public libraries shutting down to remove books “in secret” because of ideological pressure is not democracy at work. Using grants and administrative leverage to force political conformity in a public institution meant to serve everyone is an intimidation tactic.  popular.info/p/tennessee-...

Scoop: Provisions of the NDAA that would ensure military members’ right to repair their own equipment are set to be removed from the funding act, replaced by language that will require the military to pay subscription fees to defense contractors via “data-as-a-service.” www.wired.com/story/subscr...

There is a fundamental prerequisite question someone like Ted Lieu needs to answer. Does he think Trump's DOJ is a just department applying the laws fairly without political influence? If the answer is "no" then you do not work to give that same DOJ more powers with new laws. That is fucking insane.

The Labor Party in England is now proposing to get rid of almost all jury trials in England to make the criminal punishment bureaucracy more efficient. This should be a warning for us all. Neoliberals are walking us into the waiting arms of authoritarians.

The problem with ICE is not that it's targeting people who aren't criminals. The problem with ICE is that it's an unaccountable secret deportation police. It cannot be reformed under a better president. It can be made less terrible, but the instrument of repression remains for the next tyrant.

The anti-vaccine movement is a death cult

I like the NBA, watch a ton of basketball. I can't think of anything I care about less than the "NBA Emirates Cup". I hate the courts. I hate the sponsor. I hate the stupidity of holding a mid-season meaningless tournament. I get why they do it, to add fake excitement. I am not impressed with it.

Rep. Hakeem Jeffries said on WNYC that he receives only $10,000 from AIPAC's PAC, but FEC records show the group has flooded his campaign with more than $1 million in earmarked donations. A conduit used by AIPAC PAC, Democracy Engine, may be funneling more from the group.

This is called “chain refoulment” and it’s illegal under both U.S. and international law. And the State Department and ICE know very well what Ghana is doing and simply don’t care.
