DHS doesn’t even bother trying to lie well. The man whose skull was shattered told the hospital he’d been struck by ICE officers, an ICE officer told hospital staff the guy “got his sh*t rocked,” then when it became clear how badly he was injured, they claimed he deliberately ran into a wall.

AOC on Noem's lies: "They are asking you to give up your belief in your own senses and instead hand over your belief to anything they say ... look at it for yourself and what you will see is an innocent man being executed in the street."

'They don’t care. They’re just animals. I’ve never seen people behave like this.'"

A 23 year old larping as a journalist made a misleading and inaccurate YouTube video that the administration full of chronically online shitposters used to justify the “largest immigration operation ever” and now someone is dead

The President does not have the authority to cancel elections. And in fact, saying so is another impeachable offense.

The levels of grift in the hate-your-body economy continue to reach for new levels of creative destruction with the onset of GLP-1s. I’m watching them spin up a “loose skin” panic in real time. I’m not sure America can exist without the idea that bodies must be punished.
