“National security is not a blank check to proceed with otherwise unlawful activity” Quote of the year?

This just in: Minneapolis prosecutors have charged an ICE agent for assault based on pointing his gun at two people he was trying to pass on the shoulder, a clear no no. It's not the shooters of Good or Pretti, but it raises many of the same issues. I'll be posting a longer youtube shortly.

Zohran Mamdani: "A democratic socialist politics … can flourish anywhere because, frankly, there is only one majority in this country — that's the working class. It’s time we have a politics that puts them at the heart of what it is that we're pursuing and not as part of the appendix."

"You're just voluntarily complying with this whimsical cosplay" -- holy shit, Tim Kaine is *demolishing* Russ Vought

Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty: "Are we concerned as to whether there would be federal blowback? Not a concern of ours. Our role is to hold people accountable if they violate the laws of Minnesota. We feel strongly that this ICE agent committed 2nd degree assault."

I think you may have misspelled lying rapist racist fraud.

Beshear: He said, “I thought that I was being depicted as a doctor.” If I was ever in an operating room and somebody walked in in Jesus robes with orbs in his hand, I would have thought that it did not go well for me that day.

The Iceberg Theory, visualized:

The law doesn't even pretend to protect you.

‼️ Zelenskyy: “The future is here on the battlefield, and Ukraine is creating it. For the first time in this war, an enemy position was captured exclusively by unmanned ground robotic systems and drones. The occupiers surrendered, and this operation was completed without any infantry involvement.”

When you have to get dog walked by Rand Paul you really are hitting the bottom.

Donald Trump is killing real schoolgirls in Iran and kidnapping and murdering real Americans in the streets. Interesting that the only thing he’s done that went “too far” for MAGA was an *imaginary* image. What a ridiculous world we live in.

MAGA cultists. 🙄

Erica Payne, founder of @patrioticmillionaires.org: "Doing it around the edges is what got us this freak show in the WH sending out memes about him being Jesus & getting in a fight with the Pope in a country that prides itself on the separation of church and state. For heaven's sake! Enough already"

AOC: "The President of the US is a rapist. The President of the US is implicated in the Epstein files. He is convicted in court on 34 counts of felony fraud"

Trump sounds kind of desperate

Keep talking about the #TrumpEpsteinConnection. Keep talking about the #TrumpEpsteinConnection Keep talking about the #TrumpEpsteinConnection. Keep talking about the #TrumpEpsteinConnection. Keep talking about the #TrumpEpsteinConnection. Keep talking.

As of today it is 85 cases, but my message is the same. When we fight we win! www.democracydocket.com/opinion/i-ha...

Senator Chris Murphy: If you accept even part of the Iranian statement, Donald Trump has agreed to give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz. That is cataclysmic for the world.

The tRumpanzee GOP has been reduced to a WWE character playing at politics.

I wonder if tRump missed a spousal support payment ('cause rent gurl sure looked pissed)!

Turns out, Iran is surprisingly good at trolling the Orange Atrocity. 🇮🇷 vs 🍊💩 Check it out their work here:

We don’t care. Really..,

Very Stable Genius at work ...

If the goal of Melania’s speech was to make people stop talking about her, Epstein, and Maxwell—and definitely stop reposting all those photos of them—not so sure that was an effective strategy

Translation: they are doing it. finance.yahoo.com/economy/poli...

Angus: This is a president who says the only constraint on his actions is not Congress, not the courts, not international law, but, quote, “my own morality, my own mind.” There is no morality in a man accused of being a rapist…

WHITE HOUSE STATEMENT: "Pam Bondi regrets that she must leave her position as US Attorney General for her new, very urgent duties as a fill-in receptionist at The Shield of the Americas, where she will help very important Kristi Noem complete many complex, urgent jigsaw puzzles."

Gupta: Medicare and Medicaid are federal programs, He is now saying that these are the responsibilities of the states. That means that purple and red states are likely going to struggle a lot more to provide basic healthcare to their Medicare and Medicaid recipients than blue states

NEW: In 2021, Kristen Clarke became the first Black woman to serve as the Department of Justice’s civil rights chief. Five years later, she says the department has “fully retreated from the mission.” www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

When you only say the words and sing the hymns on Sunday, you are just a pathetic performance artist!

Sink the swasticar!

Pete Hegseth’s broker reportedly tried to make a multimillion-dollar investment in a fund of weapons stocks just weeks before Trump launched his war on Iran. Remember when even the appearance of corruption was enough to trigger a resignation? We must not become numb to this.

After the White House complained about an unflattering photo of Karoline Leavitt, it was removed from AFP and Getty’s systems. This is the photo in question. Please do not repost it. 👇
