NEWS: Trump demands ICC give him immunity for war crimes. DHS prepares to ask foreign tourists to hand over 5 years worth of social media data. U.S. seizes Venezuelan oil tanker in escalation. An important update. Subscribe to support my work: open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

What is the justification for the US seizure of a Venezuelan oil tanker? There is a word for this: PIRACY. SO that's who we are now, state sponsored kidnappers and pirates? Elect a criminal, expect crimes. Now on the high seas, and on the streets of American cities.

Waste. Fraud. Abuse.

Do you remember Forgetting the attack on the Capitol Incited by the wannabe king He's worse this term He started the march to destroy democracy He lost then democracy is a gift we must protect Never forget his role!

American soldiers killed by China's AI powered weapons trained on advanced Nvidia chips will have Trump to thank.

Mark Kelly is a Hero. Pete Hegseth has seven kids with three wives. Hegseth’s current wife is the woman he got pregnant when he was cheating on his 2nd wife who was also pregnant. He is a racist, homophonic, misogynistic, sycophantic dolt and least qualified SecDef we’ve ever had. But go on…

31 years have passed since Budapest Memorandum was signed. It was a time of hope for change. A document designed to guarantee peace and stability. It turned out to be a piece of paper that russia ignored, preparing for war. Today, Ukraine — and the world —needs concrete guarantees.

100% THIS!!!!

In Nov. 2024, Trump Jr. joined Unusual Machines, a drone maker, as an "advisor.” In October, they won a big contract from the Army. On Dec. 3rd, Vulcan Elements, a start-up, got a $620 million loan from the DOD. You won't guess who invested back in August!

Felon Trump ended meritocracy in federal hiring.

Barack Obama was wrong. With our current Supreme Court, Donald Trump IS above the law, and his policies and commandments are above the Constitution.

Okay internet, do your thing.

There are so many holes in DHS’s story it’s nuts. They say this woman was driving her boyfriend’s car, who they claim is undocumented. ICE pulls her over, see she’s alone, know they are looking for a man, and still handcuff her while she screams “I am a US citizen,”. Why is ICE harassing women?

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.

Remember when making purchases, buying groceries, getting gas, or paying utilities, there is great news America. "AFFORDABILITY IS A DEMOCRATIC HOAX"

This makes my blood run cold.

While "peace" negotiations continue, remember that Russia could simply stop the war at any time.

I am going to remind u now of my 2019 scoop: www.thedailybeast.com/fox-and-frie...

I’m sure the self-proclaimed ‘most transparent White House in history’ won’t mind a thorough investigation into the second strike. Sen Mark Kelly: “You do not execute survivors who are clinging onto a side of a ship.”

Call to Activism After being pressed about how two survivors clinging to a piece of wood in the ocean pose an immediate threat to the United States 1500 miles away, a nervous Karoline Leavitt directs questions to the “Dept. of War.” This is an impeachable offense - and they know it.

“Trump is pulling a Wag the Dog in Venezuela — manufacturing drama abroad to bury the scandals at home. Classic Trump chaos playbook, and Americans see right through it.”

Dear Senator Cassidy, “We” didn’t. WE didn’t pardon anyone. HE did. The President of the United States pardoned him. Come on Bill, say his name. Who’s our president? Say his name. Best, Your Former Congressional Colleague

🚨Not a suicide, a lynching. Case not closed, it has to be opened. 1/2

The news has entirely failed to grasp the unprecedented scope of the ICE and DHS budgets. Nothing like it in modern history. A galaxy of public/private surveillance and caging institutions for $100,000,000,000s unleashed on a public that will be forever changed. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

KARL: Did you know about the judge's order when you issued your order for the planes to continue? KRISTI NOEM: This is an activist judge. We comply with all federal orders that are lawful and binding.

My latest Substack piece on Trump’s hypocrisy on all things pardons and drugs: katiephang.substack.com/p/trumps-par...

And with the ACA issue, as with every other issue under Mike Johnson, the House returns from many more days off to do a mad frantic scramble to get something done before 22 million people get screwed in 30 days, with Trump constantly posting and saying different things about it.

According to Kristi Noem, that is a “direct attack on states’ rights”.

Bondi: "Yes, we are bringing in our National Guard to every city we possibly can who needs our help. And that's a lot of them."

They’re simultaneously arguing that soldiers have to follow all orders from the president, legal or not, but they get to ignore orders from a federal judge if they feel they’re not legal.

Trump plans to pardon former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez www.npr.org/2025/11/28/n...

Trump just shut down the airspace around Venezuela. Yet pardoning former Honduran President Hernández, convicted of moving more than 400 tons of cocaine through the US. Let that simmer for a moment. That's 1/3 of the cocaine Colombia produced at its height. Is this far enough for you, MAGA?

I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood. She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

“That was his bro. That was his wingman… [Trump and Epstein] were very, very close… I was dating Jeffrey. He was always talking about Donald. He was his bestie and… We went up to his office in Trump Tower. Within minutes, Donald was outside his door and his hands were all over me…” Stacey Williams
