ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

👇 That. Including the why(s).

Trump has sought emergency intervention by the Supreme Court 28 times in the first eight months of his new term, more than Bush, Obama and Biden did combined over 20 years. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

I spoke to a Venezuelan woman who was arrested in this raid and later released with her 4yo son. She said agents broke down their door, pointed guns at them and made sexualized remarks about Venezuelan women. When she returned to her apartment it was boarded up and all her possessions were gone.

It'll never be lost on me that a particular subset of the liberal commentariat in both North America and Western Europe were deeply infatuated with this woman up until the very moment she decided to talk about that one issue you're still basically not allowed to talk about lol.

Ald. Jessie Fuentes: “We have constitutional rights.” Unidentified federal agent, whose badge is not visible: "No." @wttw.bsky.social

So many lies. The Epstein files are toe to toe with Project 2025 ("I know nothing about that") as the whoppering-est whoppers of the massive pile. "Beautiful" in Big Beautiful Budget is right in there, too.

RIP CBS News. Seriously. It's not about whatever views or ideologies Weiss holds. She's done original "reporting" on explosive topics and been caught using slippery methods that wouldn't pass even basic standards tests. And as her reward, she gets to run a news organization with a revered history.

a heartwarming story of how being an unethical and talentless hack is no barrier to success when you are willing to endlessly flatter the wretched views of rich dipshits

This probably sounds minor to many of you but closing the commissaries will....not be taken lightly by the US all-volunteer standing military. The PX is everything (literally, as it's not just groceries!)

From 1939-1945 German officers also listened to speeches from civilians about how the laws of war didn’t apply to them. And then they participated in the Holocaust, starved millions of prisoners of war, destroyed villages and cities, and were defeated.

This is particularly incredible after multiple justices admonished lower court judges for temporarily blocking other illegal firings.

It’s not too late for Dems to pivot to sturdier ground in this fight. www.offmessage.net/p/20-thought...

Quick reminder: they can still release the Epstein files during a government shutdown.

The world changes every minute of every day. Some changes are bigger than others in the moment, some bigger in retrospect. Some measure small but feel large. Thanks for roaming the planet with all of us creatures, Jane Goodall.

Sharing with a reminder this has already happened in Michigan. It's not a good situation. Plus, it's the same contractor now that had issues that led the facility-as-private-prison to be shuttered. bridgemi.com/michigan-gov...

We are now in the domain of not just illegal impoundments, but targeted illegal impoundments to punish liberal spaces. Not different from what Trump is doing to to universities.

This sure is an interesting thread. Ope, what's that my synapses connected to? Oh, right. Sure would like to see the Epstein files.

I basically don't buy meat unless it's on clearance now. A pound of 80/20 is $7. And it's just not a story. Every disaster becomes a natural one when the chuds are in charge.

This is not a fight about tax credits. This is a fight over your ability to go to a pharmacy and afford your insulin. We have the chance to protect the health care of millions of Americans. We need to take it.

Annnd there it is. They were gonna do this either way…which should put the screaming at Schumer to EITHER “keep it open!” OR “shut it down!” In perspective.

Record levels of unpopularity. (The President. The House.) Relying on perception. Do not comply in advance.

👉 ✋

👏

Just astounding. The reason they can shove through 100 Trump nominees at once is because the GOP changed the rules to eliminate the 60-vote requirement. Something they won’t do to fund the government. Yet they blame Dems.

"Trump’s OMB has been quietly using those footnotes to hide important details, like conditions on how money can be spent, without posting the actual plans. That leaves the public with a misleading and incomplete picture." 🧵

Here's a couple words: Dotard Dementia

This is correct. If you heard someone in an assisted-living facility rambling on this way, you'd be talking with the doctors about appropriate next levels of care. No kidding. And every officer in the room has to realize it.

DJT's full military academy history, the one that includes some reason why he was stripped of responsibilty typical of upperclassmen, has long been questioned...and buried. Today's presentation announces "adverse information" won't matter. Bullies bullying. www.recordonline.com/story/news/2...

Goon squad from day one.

Don’t automatically assume that your elected officials will do the right thing because we know that half of them won’t and may try to capitulate under pressure. Call your elected officials and be a constant, unceasing pain in their ass. You elected them to work for you not the other way around.

David Cross folks.

This is why Johnson and Thune didn't want the meeting Trump is in a bubble. Gov Kotek pierced it this weekend Think about how often he's asked questions and has no idea what reporters mean. And the medbeds video. JFC Part of it is his declining mental capacity. But also shows he's not in charge
