They're doing this so they can call any government program that isn't ICE or the military "rife with fraud" and thus illegitimate. They are trying to manufacture consent to say any entitlement — from Medicare to social security — must be canceled because of extreme edge cases. Don't fall for it.

I’m in. Or out, as the case may be.

Greenland is happening. Not a joke, not trolling, not a distraction. He has already made up his mind and nobody who matters in the inner circle will try to talk him out of it. Some of them want it precisely because it will destroy NATO. There are no adults in the room. They really mean to do it.

The purpose of Ring was always to create a police state and I don't understand how people bought into this shit

Not a word about article five - just an appeal to norms and restraint which, if they existed, would mean there was no need to rush out a statement.

The Trump administration just conducted an illegal attack on Venezuela and has spoken about attacking Colombia, Mexico, Cuba, and Denmark. These Democrats just voted to confirm Trump's nominee for Assistant Secretary of Defense: Fetterman Gallego Kaine King Reed Rosen Shaheen

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot. It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

Happy anniversary to the last time a Republican actually took a stand

If you doubted the existence of a constitutional crisis in the US, this should clear up any doubts.

A reminder - before Trump, MAGA, Musk and Fox rewrote history - that this is what the entire country agreed had happened five years ago today:

if trump dies at any time in the next three years, j.d. vance becomes peter thiel's puppet president and the united states government effectively merges with palantir (beyond what it already has)

So @tobymorton.bsky.social is a national treasure and Hilton is fucking up royally with this nonsense. www.hiltonice.com cc: @kenwhite.bsky.social

Will someone just invade us already

Checking in on the cofounder of Palantir

srsly this guy just has a hospital kink, why is it being honored in prison

Wrote up my thoughts on all the nonsense replies I've been getting falsely claiming that @schumer.senate.gov can't do anything and I should stop telling him to do more. There's a TON that he can do, as I outline in the piece. And he's doing basically none of it.

there's like a single cul de sac where they're all out yelling at kids mowing their lawns

"Putin envisions a world in which a small group of imperialists loot their portions of the globe as they see fit. Trump has been envious of this model for a long time. He’s implementing it himself in the Western hemisphere.” 👇🏼

I've watched thousands of videos from the Jan. 6 riot as part of NPR's reporting and archive project on that day. Here are some of the lesser known videos that have really stuck with me. 🧵

Apple Photos Reminds Man He Was Nude In Capitol Building 5 Years Ago

I love this story

According to the German news magazine Der Spiegel & repeated here by Le Monde, the Trump administration has threatened to impose sanctions on the French judges handling the domestic criminal case against Marine Le Pen. I’m not outraged; I’m enjoying imagining EU sanctions on Sam Alito.

I mean when you consider that basically every other high-profile, hastily-assembled charging document these jokers have put together has crumbled under any scrutiny this seems like the logical path it will follow.

This anthropomorphized framing of Grok in the media (claiming that Grok has "apologized") only serves the interests of these tech companies. It gives the appearance that some entity has taken responsibility for what is happening, when in reality no one has.

BlackNest’s web development content reveals how Canary Mission thinks of its “wins” in its efforts to influence U.S. policy. The website categorizes the group’s impacts into categories: “Change of behavior,” job loss, denials of entry to the U.S., arrests, and “deportation/forced to flee.”

Stephen Miller also very plainly believes he's awakening Kipling's Saxons from their Jewish hypnosis. He's just figured out a slightly more disguised way of saying it newrepublic.com/article/2041...

Hospitalization of U.S. Rep. Jim Baird (R-IN). Punchbowl News’ Jake Sherman reported, “80-year-old Indiana Rep. Jim Baird is in the hospital after a car crash. Before the news of Baird’s hospitalization, Johnson had a two-seat majority. With Congressman LaMalfa’s death, it was just 218-213.

As a Canadian-American.... jesus christ

fuck outta here

I've been calling out Yarvin for ~15 years, and people used to think *I* was crazy for describing these guys' vision for destroying the federal government & disenfranchising voters. When he came after me personally (the blog post is still up!), people backed away saying they "didn't want drama". So.

I am once again asking the media to treat it as a huge fucking scandal that the Vice President of the United States has pickled his brain in white supremacist, antisemitic garbage babble

FIVE YEARS & he has not been held accountable for one of the most disgraceful events in this nation's history. Trying to overturn a fair election in an attempted coup against his own government is the very definition of TREASON. We can never move forward until this is fully adjudicated. #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

@replamonica.bsky.social is right: Members of Congress have a right and duty to oversee ICE detention.

Two more good reasons to vote Lander just dropped

I am now in love with this genre that I never knew existed before today.

'The Department of Homeland Security is spending about $85,000 on parkas for what it calls an “urgent enforcement mission” in Minnesota, where federal agents have fanned out for a monthlong immigration crackdown in the middle of winter.' www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

A USPS plan consolidates mail processing from 200 local facilities to 20 regional ones. That increases the likelihood that postmarks will be delayed, posing risks for elections, tax deadlines, and legal filings. www.brookings.edu/articles/whe...

“Putin envisions a world in which a small group of imperialists loot their portions of the globe as they see fit. Trump has been envious of this model for a long time. He’s implementing it himself in the Western hemisphere.” -an expert on global oligarchy, to me 3/ newrepublic.com/article/2049...

Everything happening now was obvious by March 2021. That's why I wrote about it *then*. This matters because this is a planned autocracy. Feigned surprise at horrors is meant to rewrite history and present our plight as if it wasn't a plan obvious four years ago and countenanced by both parties.

And, you can also change the narrative yourself, by leading the public. Public pressure absolutely moves politicians. Sitting around waiting for others to take this seriously is failing. Making something the story and making the public care about it is the job of a politician.

"what do you expect dems, who have NO POWER, to do???" and then they do this 8 times a month

For those who don’t know, Speaker Mike Schultz is a homebuilder who frequently shares opinions on non-homebuilding topics.

"fuck you make me" should be the default position. and it is winning.

I think football should be illegal but if I had to, I could make do with these colors

kind of darkly funny that "gender studies" is the stereotypical "useless degree" because gender studies will help you understand a large and important chunk of the current psychosis in american life
