People either don't want to see the Melania movie or don't want to be seen going to the Melania movie.

Important update: a federal judge has ruled that Russ Vought & OMB were breaking the law & must tell the public exactly how they are spending (or not spending) funds appropriated by Congress. I wrote this law years ago to ensure transparency and accountability.

Sitting President attempts to steal $10 BILLION from taxpayers. The most corrupt regime of our lifetimes. With no close second. And the Hunter hunters are silent. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

"It’s time to wake up. Trump seems keen on influencing the vote in states that will decide margins in 2026 and the outcome in 2028. And that he has the FBI participating in his effort is a terrifying demonstration of just how many guardrails he has steamrolled..." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

HBO’s Watchmen series was both an incredible exploration of America’s racist past (the Tulsa race massacre) and a very prescient depiction of its white supremacist re-entrenchment future. Certainly worth a watch.

"Allowing the crime scene to be contaminated then covering the victim’s weapon with fingerprints will make it much harder to investigate the case, much less prosecute it. But of course federal officials never intended to do either. Indeed, the coverup was underway immediately." — @lizdye.bsky.social

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

Tomorrow, we will go to federal court to continue to fight for all evidence to be preserved for a full and transparent state investigation. I am not asking for patience. My office is working around the clock on multiple incidents regarding federal agents' use-of-force.

'Over the weekend, senior administration officials including Stephen Miller, the deputy chief of staff, called the victim “a domestic terrorist who tried to assassinate law enforcement”,

Ice prisoners screaming, Dilley Texas

"The lawsuit was filed after the BCA said it was blocked from accessing the shooting scene on Saturday to collect evidence, despite having a search warrant giving them authority to do so."

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

Clear video evidence that ICE disarmed, then assassinated Alex Pretti, shooting him from behind as he was restrained by other goons.

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon. wapo.st/49Zqv1L

"Trump’s ICE deployments have been carefully aimed at cities that are Democratic-led and often Black-led, as if imposing collective punishment for their defiance...

Van Hollen: "They really think the American people are stupid. I mean, we can all see the video. We saw the video with Renee Good. We saw the video with Alex Pretti. The real domestic terrorists are in the White House right now."

Everyone who calls themselves a journalist needs to decide and commit right fucking now that you will not be complicit in spreading MAGA lies or covering up the federal government's crimes. If you do not, you are a propagandist puppet, not a journalist.

Federal agents in Minneapolis wrestled Alex Pretti to the ground and secured the handgun he was carrying moments before shooting him multiple times, according to a Washington Post analysis of video footage. Read more: https://wapo.st/4qGOx8M

Yes, the GOP controls Congress. That's why it's key to show Congress COULD stop the madness. And it's not just the DHS bill. Congress could repeal the prior multi-year $75b for DHS; set up a special investigative committee (cf. Watergate); amend the Insurrection Act; etc.

AND IMPEACH AND REMOVE. We need to clamor for that even if the votes aren't there—yet.

Bondi's letter—essentially offering to stop attacking and murdering citizens in Minnesota in exchange for the state's voter rolls—shows what Trump, Miller et al. are really after: They want to fuck with the nation's elections so that they never have to cede power or answer for their crimes.

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, in a social media post, said: "It's time to abolish Trump's ICE."

There’s a rally going on in Boston rn and they’re chanting “we’re not cold, we’re not afraid, MN taught us to be brave!” and I might cry

Protester in Minnesota: I’m 70 years old and I’m fucking angry *disappears into gas*

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

We're used to seeing images like this of Nazi Germany. This is what an execution looks like. It's an image that will haunt America for years to come. Alex Pretti was a nurse whose life was dedicated to saving lives. In the eyes of the world, America has become the monster it used to fight against.

ICE is a lawless, murderous gang of thugs. Beyond the actual shooters, DHS, DOJ, and Stephen Miller are conspiring with ICE to commit crimes and cover them up.

Michael and Susan Pretti, praised their son as a “kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse." "Please get the truth out about our son,” they said. “He was a good man.”

"The murderers are ICE."

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

ICE is a gang of lawless thugs and murderers.

Answer to someone asking how to bring down prices. Incidentally, all but the last two were in place during the Biden administration, for those who insist "the two parties are the same" These are off the top of my head. I don't want to debate. None of it matters without power.

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask: "If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin. This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

The demented grifter squatting in our White House has pocketed more than $1.4 BILLION since taking office last year, but please go on about the Biden Crime Family.
