Trump threatened to pull the state's federal funding, he sent Vance there multiple times, his allies (including his son) are currently threatening to oust all the Republicans who rebuked him, and he's already sicced his goons on these lawmakers, bringing them countless death threats. But ok.

The clear takeaway from today is that Donald Trump is not unstoppable and you are not powerless.

WALKINSHAW: Are you familiar with the Proud Boys? GLASHEEN: I'm familiar with the name WALKINSHAW: Does the FBI still designate them as an extremist organization? They did during Trump's first term GLASHEEN: We are in the process right now of changing our, uh, categories for domestic terrorism

this is crazy, these people are 2nd grade-level liars

BARTIROMO: You say officials falsified a police report. What happened at the airport? NANCY MACE: Here's the thing, Maria. We have to take our security very seriously. If you're conservative, if you're well known, if you fight the transgender community like I have... B: I asked you what happened

This is probably the clearest indication yet that the administration understands what they’re doing in the Caribbean is illegal. They’re now threatening the ICC with sanctions if they investigate Trump and his team.

Healthcare for profit is evil as it is but "want patients to become consumers" is just despicable.

It was always about oil, not drugs. It’s why there’s been no evidence of drugs. It’s why they haven’t wanted to leave survivors. The US seizing an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela further proves this. They’re saying they’re keeping the oil. It’s piracy and murder.

"[Trump is] making the White House look like Versailles. We all know what happened to the French kings, but apparently, we’re not paying much attention.” Art history professor Erin Thompson tells us why Trump has given the White House a makeover: Power.

Every few years, the GOP majority pushes us closer and closer to a system of election by oligarchs.

ICE, DHS, CBP, and Trump are enabling the most deplorable individuals in this country to target minorities. From threats over blown leaves to white power salutes, everyday harassment demonstrates how federal agencies empower racism and intimidation.

There are good people in this country, people who stand up for their neighbors & put their bodies on the line. Don't forget that. Good people stand against #ICELawlessness. Be inspired by that. As ICE thugs round up, brutalize & torture our fellow Americans, do or say something! Don't be complicit.

Federal prosecutors tried to charge a guy with a felony because he closed a door a Border Patrol agent and it lightly scraped the agent's leg. (Grand jury said NOPE)

1. Paramount's hostile takeover bid for Warner Bros. Discovery exposes Jared Kushner's game Kushner is not running a private equity fund. He's running an influence peddling operation. It's spelled out on page 42 of Paramount's new SEC filing

just incredible optics here, the president yelling at you about how you should buy less and like it, three weeks before christmas, while standing in front of a bunch of stupefied moronic dipshits holding BIGGER PAYCHECKS signs

In spirit, content and intent, this was really no different to a Klan rally. The exception being the wholesale absence of outrage in mainstream media. This period of history will be an indictment on those standing silent, as much as the monster himself.

So half the fucking country?

To recap 2025 MAGA & Trump: $2T in tax cancellation for 800 billionaires in Trump budget •MAGA: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ $12B in corporate welfare for farms hurt by Trump tariffs •MAGA: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Food stamps for hungry kids •MAGA: SOCIALISM!🤬

A Paramount-Warner Bros. merger would be a five-alarm antitrust fire. Not to mention it's backed by a who's who of Trump buddies and foreign money. The government's review of any deal needs to be based on the law and facts — not who sucked up the most to Donald Trump.

A Democratic Party not having an explicit platform of reforming the Judicial Branch after today is not a party I want to vote for. The strongly worded letters have to stop someday.

It’s a fucking cult.

This is how the economy works now. You kiss the ass of the top guy, he throws you favors. There is no ideology here, it's just mafia rules, the oldest rules in the book.

Tomorrow at 3:00 House and Senate Democrats will be holding a "shadow hearing" on the detention of U.S. citizens. I'll be there testifying about the broader policy changes which led us to this moment. /my name isn't in this press release but I'll be there! www.blumenthal.senate.gov/newsroom/pre...

folks, is "let's murder everyone for whatever reason we want" a good policy

Tucker Carlson has hosted Hitler apologists on his show. Now he says Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a pastor who tried to kill Hitler, was not being Christian. He isn't making a theological argument. He's just morally inverting World War II and the Holocaust, to make space for their villains to rise again.

Police in Edmonton, Canada, have started a pilot project using AI-equipped body cameras to detect faces on a "high risk" watch list.

Still think Palantir was an interesting choice for NHS data processing.

Any one of us could be in the next apartment building that ICE raids in the middle of the night. Any one of us could be on the next boat that Trump bombs on a whim. Any one of us could be detained for hours despite being a U.S. citizen. Authoritarianism hurts all of us.

Layoffs have hit over 1.1M so far this year — the most since the pandemic. Yet corporate profits continue to hit record highs, with corporations increasingly spending those earnings on stock buybacks to enrich execs and shareholders. This is what a rigged economy looks like.
