"She said she repeatedly told the agents she’s a U.S. citizen. “I just kept repeating it — I’m a U.S.-born citizen. I was born and raised here. This is my home. My baby’s waiting for me...” She screamed “Leave me alone...” www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

the true believers around nixon genuinely saw him as some kind of embodiment of the people and thought that congressional attempts to corral his authority were illegitimate on that basis. straight line from them to the executive power fetishists on the supreme court.

If only y'all knew a filmmaker who would be down to do this. *cough cough* Big Sarge *cough cough*

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

“It confirms what we already knew — this was not about public safety, it’s about stoking chaos and fear and terrorizing communities,” said state Sen. Royce Duplessis.

NOT surprised.

Yesterday, I held a music festival in my district to register voters and speak directly to young people who don’t usually attend political events. 4,500 tickets. Music + advocacy go hand in hand. Madsoul Festival 2025 was a success.

every time I see an A-list actor in an ad for some slot machine phone game, I think about how Bill Murray's character in Lost in Translation doing advertisements is framed as basically the highest form of humiliation an actor could go through.

Trumpiggy admitted he wanted a political payoff after a pardon of a Texas Democrat. That's a felony quid pro quo whether he actually received it or not. He should be impeached for it. GOP cowards say: courage is for Democrats.

Trump rages that Henry Cuellar didn’t pay him back for a pardon by switching parties, blasting Cuellar for a “lack of LOYALTY.” In other words, Trump admits he was trying to use his pardon power to buy Republicans a House seat.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.” What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.” Funny how that works.

If the Sep. 2 boat really had "narco-terrorists" on board, questioning the survivors would have been a way to learn about how the organization worked, where more drugs were stashed, etc. But this isn't a counter-terrorism campaign. It's a shooting gallery with helpless targets.

Who did this!?! 🤣🤣🤣

😬 Kremlin: The new U.S. security strategy is “largely aligned” with Russia’s vision.

Ro Khanna on Trump pardoning Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar: "We need to abolish the pardon power…It's something that the president is abusing…It was an abuse with Rep. Cuellar. And I say this as someone who has worked with Rep. Cuellar, the president shouldn't be pardoning."

I’m surprised more people aren’t talking about Don Jr receiving a massive loan for his startup from the Pentagon. I guess when there’s so much corruption some things fly under the radar?

Who has made this 🤣

“…Even if they are able to clean up his mess … elect a supremely sane president next, America will NEVER again be a trusted partner. Because there are enough Americans who would vote for him … (again). I couldn't even say anything. She was right. The damage this has done is endless…”

Mark Kelly: "They are not silencing me. I'm still speaking out. I still am going to do my job every single day regardless of whether this president wants to kill me, hang me, execute me, or shut me up. I'm not gonna shut up."

I just got a "Decomputing" talk accepted by a very tech-focused business conference (as a Keynote even) and a labor rights organization who wanted me to propose a talk instantly went for the "The Luddites were right" suggestion. Two things that a few months ago would not have been possible I think.

if this Supreme Court nullifies the 14th Amendment then i don't really have any problems with Democratic officials ignoring federal law for the foreseeable future at that point we're just in a state of exception

"I have never seen the line this long at this food bank, This is 4x the size of every previous year...the line wraps around the building a second time..Everyone is freezing and an older lady in line had to be taken inside because she looked like she was about to pass out from being too cold..."

The priorities of senior Trump Administration officials…

100% THIS!!!!

Police Chief Brian O’Hara has delivered a blunt message to his department: If an officer witnesses ICE agents using illegal force and fails to step in, they will be fired. 👏 👏 👏

maybe given the current political situation, finding things about which to say “the president has a point” is not only not a good look but actively bad and fucked up? Maybe maybe resist the impulse to say “well I agree with this chump” and find something else to talk about instead?

New in PN: A war criminal without a war "We’re watching the flimsy justifications fall apart in real time. They can try to shift the blame. They can try to say that people clinging to wreckage for dear life are somehow an active threat. But in the end, it’s just murder."

FUCK JOHN ROBERTS! When we get to the other side of this WE ARREST THIS MOTHERFUCKER FOR BETRAYING THE CONSTITUTION!

Mockler: Young people are having trouble accumulating capital in the form of housing or in the form of investing. And due to that, you see a lot of younger people turning against the system. We're not loyal to a system that hasn't been loyal to us.

Can't believe our tax dollars are going to be spent settling the upcoming exorbitant defamation suit with Sabrina Carpenter, but maybe this is just how public arts funding is going to work now.

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

Here’s a great idea, do it now before anyone is put in harms way. Before he gets to say well I have 30 days to kill as many brown people as I can.
