Justice Kavanaugh: “If the person is a U. S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter.”

Here’s a three-minute video about the Massacre at Wounded Knee. It was not a glorious victory or battle for the U.S. military. It was a slaughter of unarmed innocents. youtu.be/zna0qlX5Bio

I said for years that the only way to permanently reduce migration to the United States was to destroy the vision that the world had of this country as the land of opportunity. That wasn't a goddam suggestion!

Trump: "We've got a lot of stupid people in this country running things."

Meet the Press put together a clip of Trump vowing in January to "bring back free speech to America," followed by him saying last Friday that negative coverage of him is "no longer free speech"

If you burn down a forest, you don't miss out on lumber for just that season. You have to replant all the trees, nurture them, and wait for them to grow. The science and research budget cuts happening now are wanton, senseless arson. Recovery, if it ever happens, will take generations.

1. Just so we’re clear, this is the clip that got Jimmy Kimmel’s show shelved by ABC. If I’m missing any other clips please let me know.

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

We need at minimum $800 just to get through tomorrow until I can navigate September. The actual need is much higher. Venmo account is best. I also have Zelle and CashApp. DMs are open. /end 🧵

Pritzker: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal ... I refuse to fall into the pundit trap that demands we sacrifice vital constitutional rights if it's being done in the fake guise of fighting crime."

This is a perfect example of the deranged & maniacal approach to immigration being pursued by the Trump Admin. They conducted a raid on a live fire line in Washington State, taking into custody undocumented people who were engaged in the atrocity of working to contain a life threatening forest fire.

Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about the President and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.

i'll say it again, my loud and vigorous support for any democrat who calls for televised hearings and criminal charges for everyone involved in DOGE. this guy should never be able to live in peace again.

I find myself thinking about historian Robert Paxton’s 2004 definition of fascism far too often than I’d like these days. Note that these sentences were written back when Donald Trump was a NYC playboy libertine who donated to Democrats.

Someone forgot to take down this webpage: www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/v...

Trump: "I think we're gonna be very successful fairly soon. We'll have drug prices coming down by 500, 600, 800, even 1,200 percent."

Republicans are waging a generalized war on science, but I think many of them don’t fully grok that RFK isn’t at war with science alone or per se: he’s at war with sick people, and of the view that only the lucky should be allowed to survive into old age. They are know nothings, he is Mengele.

Trump: People were taken out of the spa, hired by Epstein… I told him we don’t want you taking our people, whether it’s spa or not spa. He did it again, I said out of here. Reporter: Was one of the stolen people Virginia Giuffre? Trump: I think so. He stole her.

On March 15, President Donald Trump’s administration sent more than 230 Venezuelan immigrants to a prison in El Salvador. Last week, the men were released as suddenly as they’d been taken away. Now, their stories will begin to be told. Starting here 👇

ICYMI: North Carolina lawmakers are considering a bill that would ban election officials from encouraging people to vote. The bill would escalate GOP efforts to block proactive voter outreach, like registering voters or sending mail ballots.

I don’t want to say I immediately had a visceral reaction when I saw the DHS post but … yeah… I did … Right on cue with the fascism.

She is saying, in effect: "We are going to liberate the city from its democratically elected leadership using the military"

This indictment is no more justified than the original charges. I will not be intimidated. My full statement:

Trump threatens to use "force" against any protesters who show up at his big military parade: "They will be met with very big force. People that want to protest will be met with big force. I have not heard about a protest but this is people that hate our country. They will be met with heavy force."

(8) Among greatest infirmities - legal, moral, policy - is federalizing the Guard to police protest activity when the situation was under control (including with CA Guard if Newsom wanted to use them). In context, this looks not like "escalating to de-escalate," but escalating to escalate further.

Less than 45 minutes after President Donald Trump thanked the National Guard "for a job well done!" Mayor Karen Bass clarified on social media "the National Guard has not been deployed in the City of Los Angeles."

In a healthy information environment, this would be front-page news.

What they are doing at Harvard, Columbia, and other universities indicates that they are a bunch of wannabe dictators who want to control American university life. We need to protect the First Amendment. It's absolutely critical.

When the White House was asked about Vought's promise to traumatize employees, they responded with "what about the J6ers?" Perfect distillation of an ethos where those serving the government are viewed as less worthy than those seeking to destroy it. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

When traitors who bludgeoned cops and smeared feces in the halls of Congress are hailed as heroes, and when the family of one of those traitors gets $5 million from taxpayers, it’s vital for actual patriots to remember: YOU’RE NOT CRAZY – THEY ARE.

The video does not, in fact, show this. Surprise, surprise. m.youtube.com/watch?v=6FxF...

A man pulled up to a gas station to fill up his truck. ICE agents surrounded him and took him away. But his children were left behind. “They arrested someone,” witness said. “They left the children inside the truck.” www.sfgate.com/centralcoast...

This phone interview contains a detailed description of the wildest fucking shit I've ever heard on television news, hands down

This is us now. Don't look away. Good on the standers-by who recorded and tried to intervene.

Here is the full report. It shows yet again how the Trump administration tossed due process and all sense of justice aside to throw as many bodies as they could onto the planes which left on March 15 — fodder for their media frenzy, justice be damned. documentedny.com/2025/05/05/a...

New from 404 Media: the Signal clone the Trump administration uses was just hacked. TeleMessage makes a modified version of Signal that archives messages for government agencies, Waltz used it. A hacker got some users' messages, group chats. Hugely significant breach www.404media.co/the-signal-c...

I've been traveling so forgive me for not posting this yesterday, but: That Signal clone app for archiving messages that Mike Waltz has been using, TeleMessage? It's unlicensed. Signal was unaware of its existence until they saw it in that Reuters photo. There's no known security vetting.

Lutnick: "It's time to train people not to do the jobs of the past, but to do the great jobs of the future. This is the new model where you work in these kinds of plants for the rest of your life and your kids work here and your grandkids work here. We let the auto plants go overseas."

Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

Again. They deported an American child with cancer AGAIN.
