Trump: “Third Rate Congressman Thomas Massie, a Weak and Pathetic RINO…must be thrown out of office, ASAP!” Rep. Massie is leading the push for a vote in the House to release the Epstein files.

Among George Santos’ many scams was a “pet charity” where he swindled people out of money who needed it for medical care for their pets. This is who Trump just pardoned www.nytimes.com/2023/02/09/n...

Me on Trump pardoning disgraced former congressman George Santos: "It's completely nuts, but he's completely nuts — and so is Santos, maybe that's the thing that joins them all together... Trump finds a fraudster appealing."

At no point in this sentence was it possible to predict what the next word would be

(if you would like to report the accounts for violations of the Hatch Act, it’s 5 U.S.C. § 7326(2), feel free to send it in to the mod team)

I’m still waiting for Elise Stefanik to weigh in on the Santos commutation since he scammed all her friends and big donors after she vouched for him.

The most interesting about Trump springing George Santos from prison is that Trump is still in the Epstein Files.

Those Epstein files must be bad. #KY04

The Trump admin has come to bluesky. These new accounts for gov agencies are not run by anyone we know in the agencies and have all started off with Hatch Act violations. In true bsky fashion, I'll be blocking the lot of them rather than giving them any engagement.

Do you think pro-Ukraine Republicans like John Thune, Lindsey Graham, Roger Wicker and many others will finally admit that Trump never had any intention of helping Ukraine and is Putin’s useful idiot? Probably not, because they are cowards.

👀 Sources tell me and @joshgerstein.bsky.social that veteran federal prosecutor Beth Yusi — with DOJ since 2007 — was fired after resisting the Letitia James indictment. Also Kristin Bird, with EDVA since 2019.

We're going to make history tomorrow. #NoKings

⁨Congress has not authorized military force against Venezuela. But the Trump administration has made it clear they may not stop at boat strikes in the Caribbean. We must stop the U.S. from being dragged–intentionally or accidentally–into full-fledged war in South America.

Hey @nytimes.com, did you change your headline, and change "Islamophobic attacks" on Mamdani to just "attacks," because Elise Stefanik and the GOP bullied you into it? Really? Why are they no longer Islamophobic attacks, as your headline originally and correctly stated?

OXNARD, CA: Trump’s ICE goons ram into a citizen’s car, arrest him… and claim he rammed into them. Whaddya know — Video shows they lied. More: www.yahoo.com/news/article...

DC — racial profiling, violating rights, insane waste of resources.. this video really has it all. Where are the “gOVerNmeNt wAstE” small government folks? Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DPz0rll...

😎

The first thing Ellis does is confirm that today is Chicago ICE Field Director Russell Hott's last day on the job. A government attorney confirms that Hott is being transferred to a "new position" in Washington D.C.

🤔

There is a shocking amount of critical infrastructure maintained in total by the Army Corps of Engineers. Most Americans have no idea. If the govt starts jacking with it for the lulz, sh*t will collapse and Americans will die. Let’s be real about this.

JUDGE: No. I want someone with knowledge of the incidents, as well as dissemination of the order, and I think that can be the same person. GOV: I anticipate the govt telling me that will be separate people. JUDGE: Fine, but someone needs to be designated to represent the agency. 7/

JUDGE: I also want to confirm how my order is being disseminated throughout the agencies. Is Mr. Hott the person from ICE that can answer those questions? GOV: I presume individuals from each agency would have that information, and we don't know who those people would be. 5/

If you’re worried about the authoritarianism peaceful protest is the way

THIS DOESN'T LOOK GREAT @govpritzker.illinois.gov

I love how he gets to see the face and use the name of the officer. The whole half hour is incredible. An ICE agent would have beaten an immigrant with his attitude to the ground multiple times over. Incredible unmasked, named professionalism local PD. t.co/J8tBhmYtPe

This is wild. The ARROGANCE. He’s driving DRUNK with his kids in the car!!!

“Nothing to hide.” Release the Epstein files and end the government shutdown.

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring. Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

literally no need for this the protesters were just standing there, not causing any problems. then here come the police, causing problems. I need @govpritzker.illinois.gov to tell these goons to go home. And if he can't or won't do so, I need to know that, too.

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

Hey @govpritzker.illinois.gov, you need to do something about these ISP goons attacking protesters like @katmabu.bsky.social.

we are not having a lot of luck with institutional pushback - everyone who does is fired and replaced we are definitely not having any luck with “norms” what we are having luck with is ordinary people looking at the incompetent bullshit put in front of them and going “absolutely not”

All, be careful. There will be some bad faith folks there and probably more than usual. Call them out immediately.

‼️‼️‼️ Got word of a new way the billionaire in charge of SSA is fucking over the American people!!!! TLDR: This will definitely lead to people applying for benefits losing out on money, and probably some hefty lawsuits for attorneys that know what’s up. The long version is gonna be long so let’s go.

ICYMI here is a quick explainer on why the strikes in the Caribbean are illegal and why you should care (hint: you might be next) open.substack.com/pub/asharang...

Pope Leo calls on journalists to report facts and expose disinformation. www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

Just need ONE reporter to say 'As Speaker of the House, don't you think that you should be more aware of things going on in the country?'

Buh-bye, FIFA World Cup and Summer Olympics. Be safe and excellent somewhere else.

🇺🇸 “A former US Marine Corps colonel and combat veteran said after 24 years of service he “resigned from the military because of Trump”, citing Trump’s contempt for the constitution… He urged other military personnel to reflect on their own positions.” apple.news/AnvauFUw-R32...

Price increases for "things" under Donald Trump: Coffee is up 26% Baby strollers are up 25% Beef is up 14% School supplies are up 7% Electricity is up 5% Car prices are at a RECORD high. And thanks to Republicans in Congress, health insurance premiums are about to DOUBLE.

“The US military has carried out at least 6 strikes to date on 6 separate boats in the Caribbean, but Thursday’s was not made public by the administration – unlike the previous 5 strikes – and appeared to be the 1st time an attack had not instantly killed everyone on board.“ Did they attempt rescue?

For those asking, here's a REALLY rough comparison of the Trump indictment and Bolton's. The biggest differences are: Bolton sent AND retained the docs, which resulted in Iran getting them Trump took marked docs Trump refused to give them back and lied about them

Jordy created a simple website where visitors are invited fo contribute $35 to "provide an infiatable costumes forTrue American. Pardon the inflation pun "This whole thing has blown up a lot." www.operationinflation.com

I suspect there is more of this behind the scenes, which is why the admin is using the CIA

🚨BREAKING: North Carolina’s top elections official is pressing the state’s Division of Motor Vehicles for unprecedented access to voters’ full Social Security numbers — a move that could erode voter privacy protections and lay the groundwork for mass voter purges

He got the hell out because he see what's going on. This is bad. Meaning what's going on is something nefarious.

This is about Kiera Knightley but can be about so very many people.

The alleged security breaches by John Bolton remind me of security breaches by another ex-government official who kept classified records in his bathroom and evaded justice with the help of a corrupt MAGA judge in Florida.

huh, wonder what this was about

We waited 20 years for John Bolton to be punished for telling lies about Iraq. Instead, he gets punished for telling the truth about Trump.
