Today is the most humiliating day in the history of the United States of America. At least until tomorrow.

An ICE Agent's Life in Four Acts:

Holy crap. Without completing portions of the required paperwork, with a likely failed drug test, and with clear indication that no HR person had ever Googled her or done even a cursory background check, ICE "hired" @laurajedeed.bsky.social.

There's always a Tweet.

This 👇. My go-to explanation since the boat strikes and navy buildup began in late summer: They're bootstrapping a justification for invoking the Alien Enemies Act to detain and deport people domestically.

TMZ is reporting Fetterman hospitalized after a fall.

SCOOP: Alexander Smirnov, the FBI informant convicted of lying about a fake bribery scheme involving the Bidens has been quietly released from prison just months into a six-year sentence—raising concern he could be pardoned by Trump any moment. jacquelinesweet.substack.com/p/fbi-inform...

Just when I think Pete Hegseth is the worst person in the Trump administration, Kristi Noem says something, and I change my mind, then Pam Bondi says something, then JD Vance says something, then Stephen Miller says something, but then Donald Trump says something. Contest over.

🧵This horrific story is being reported all over Latin America, but not the US. Randall Gamboa, a Costa Rican, was deported from the US in such a critical health condition it required an ambulance flight. He then died upon his return to Costa Rica after being detained for 8 months by DHS.

Trump's FTC just deleted articles by former Chair Lina Khan about the dangers of AI. Meanwhile, Trump is fast-tracking data center permits after Big Tech gave huge donations to his inauguration. AI is making the richest Americans even richer while everyone else pays the price.

You can’t base your life on the expression of hatred and spite unless you have someone to receive your hatred and spite. Hating into a void is very unsatisfactory.

This you, Kristi?

BlackRock will buy AES, one of the largest publicly traded utility companies in the U.S. AES is a major power provider for Big Tech companies building out data centers. Yes: while these data centers drive up your electricity costs, wealthy financiers are going to make a killing.

If Congress shuts down and stops working, how will we be able to tell?

Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski cast the deciding vote to keep the Epstein files sealed. We dug into why—and uncovered a tangled web linking her to Ghislaine Maxwell, her husband, a powerful donor, and big money in Alaska. Go to the LINK in BIO to read the full investigation.

Look, it’s Heroin and Adderall ganging up on Tylenol.

We have now reached banana republic status when CEOs and lawmakers must have personal security. This proves they must be doing something wrong to get to this point. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Today is the day of the special election to fill the seat of former MN State Rep Melissa Hortman, who was shot by a right-wing extremist.

I hate when I’m forced to agree with him. bsky.app/profile/patr...

Sen. Warren Daniel (R–NC, District 46) was caught trading stocks right on the Senate floor. Didn’t even wait for a break. Playing the market on the taxpayers’ time…pure abuse of power.

SCOOP: Three Trump Cabinet Members Have Multiple Primary-Residence Mortgages @robert-faturechi.bsky.social @justinelliott.bsky.social @amierjeski.bsky.social

Par for the course with these types. l.smartnews.com/p-5XoU6sbC/M...

Maxwell moved to Texas facility. The fix is in. Check out this article from USA TODAY: Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell quietly moved out of Florida federal prison www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Hammer on nail... this man is going viral.

My current conspiracy theory is that Musk, Vance, and Thiel might be behind all of the oxygen suddenly being given to the Epstein story. Cui bono?

Worth a read. You may not agree with every proposal but this is an excellent plan to protect - and restore - our democracy.

There's a piece of crap in this picture, and also some horse feces.

Idk who needs to hear this but red state folks are already cannon fodder. While rural people make up less than 25% of the general population, we make up almost 45% of military recruits. Also, over 40% of Missourians voted for Kamala. This video sucks on a lot of levels.

The White House lashed out at the creators of this ad for "fear-mongering". It must have really struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists. You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE! #MAGAKidnappers

Walk Away from disinformation

everyone who’s spent years stockpiling weapons and screeching about “tyranny” and “government overreach” sure is fucking quiet right now

BIG WIN for the D.C. Bar & democracy President-Elect Diane Seltzer triumphed with a staggering 90% of the vote Given what one Bondi has done as AG we did not need to take a risk on another heading the DC Bar

Welp, I guess it wasn’t a lie.

Today: Tanks are being moved en masse into DC. Trump is deploying a state national guard over a governor’s objection to police protests. Trump threatened a major donor with “severe consequences” if they support his political opponents. If you’re still wondering what time it is, read this again

Emotional support night vision goggles.

** Evidence You Might Be In A Cult ** You follow one charismatic Leader. In your Leader’s mind, your Leader can do no wrong. In your mind, your Leader can do no wrong. Your Leader demonizes dissidents & outsiders. Loyalty's the ultimate measure of your devotion. You don't know you're in a Cult

Make this make sense. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Honestly? The $400M plane from Qatar is quaint compared to his crypto scam, memecoin con, insider trading, and tariff shakedowns.
