Just take a look at this and remember, Pam Bondi's concern here was not with any of the victims of these crimes but with the nosy Democrats who actually gave a shit about them.

Can I get an opinion from a legal expert as to how close this comes to violating the Speech and Debate clause?

Its the one area of job growth and they're trying to deport a core source of this labor

Move fast and break people

This is not an indicator of an Administration that has everything under control.

If you ask the federal government for information about food, it directs you to an AI chatbot known for created child pornography.

Yes, some of us did, but the libertarians at Reason were not prominent among them, except for the one who got fired for it.

Perfect, no notes: the OpenAI Super Bowl ad costing millions is AI slop. 👇🏻

U.S. Atty Gen. Pam Bondi and FBI Dir. Kash Patel have both sworn under oath that zero evidence of other people committing crimes exists within the Epstein Files. Here are emails from people whose identities have been redacted, both attaching photos, both adding notes stating “Age 10” and “Age 11.”

We need a serious reconsideration of how we enforce Americans’ rights. For the most part, the best you can do when the government violates your rights is getting a court to say “yes, they should not have done that, but they did.”

Not how the rule of law works. Precisely the opposite, in fact.

We are deciding right now whether we want to be a country with ethnic cleansing and concentration camps.

“They’re basically torturing people into signing off on their own deportation,” said one attorney. Superb, deeply reported story, via @charpentier.bsky.social

This is a major, huge, humongous deal that will go largely unnoticed because of the broader chaos engulfing our politics. But, suffice it to say that the government is broken when the courts explicitly say they can't trust the administration to tell the truth.

Lol Hashtag Streisand Effect.

Illegally withholding billions in transportation infrastructure funding to get shit named after you isn’t just an instantly impeachable offense, it should get you laughed out of public life forever. Instead it’s just, “Well, at least he isn’t killing people.” www.nytimes.com/2026/02/06/u...

I don't even need to re-read the decision to get that feeling.

Through much of our history, we’ve named things after presidents because they have used the awesome power of their office to make our lives better, and we want to honor them for it. The current occupant is instead trying to use that power to extort us into naming things for him.

Think about what it says that we're not all freaking out that Trump has said he would unfreeze appropriated funds fund infrastructure if Chuck Schumer agrees to rename Penn Station and Dulles airport after Trump. www.cnn.com/2026/02/05/p...

Here legally and married to a U.S. citizen. He's a contractor charged with grand larceny for failing to complete a job. He disputes the accusation, but his immigration detention prevents him from fighting the criminal charge. And he was arrested during a home raid without a judicial warrant.

It’s good that the Trump Administration has a whole office looking into the weaponization of government. Maybe this case of retaliation will….oh, nevermind.

This isn't just a political choice, it's an abdication of Congress' Article 1 responsibility to perform executive oversight and ensure the government complies with the law.

This is worth watching.

Here's what Republicans think is "unrealistic" 1) Need a judicial warrant to enter private property 2) Require verification that someone is not a US citizen before sending them to immigration detention 3) No masks 4) No secret police: Officers must have ID 5) Keep enforcement away from

These are the kinds of things that fly under the radar but have a massive impact on people's lives.

America 2026: There’s a measles outbreak among the children being held without due process in a prison camp.

‘One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." … She offered me $2600 to self-deport. I refused. I wanted to talk to my attorney. They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota.’

JD Vance is the most loathsome character in American politics, and it's mostly because he's immediately recognizable to anyone with an interest in politics as The Worst Guy From Your PoliSci Class

How's this for the party of small government and "states' rights"? Trump: "A state is an agent for the federal government in elections." www.cnn.com/2026/02/03/p...

"The Trump administration has claimed the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua had taken over the building. But new documents make no mention of the gang... "...federal prosecutors have not filed criminal charges against anyone who was arrested." by @melissa-sanchez.bsky.social / @jodicohen.bsky.social

Apparently, likely GOP voters are the only people who count as Americans.

One thing that Trump never seemed to get in his quest for acceptance in New York’s high society is that people don’t like him because of how he comports himself. The ostentatious display of the facade of wealth doesn’t compensate for a lack of class.

Holy shit.

Truly Stasi-like. What would you say if you saw it in another country?

This needs to be at the top of every story about the ICE body-cam thing. They already have body cameras.

Trump really does know how to turbo-charge American businesses. apnews.com/article/euro...

Completely disgusting, but not surprising. Our government creating disinformation propaganda, altering images of Americans. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/03/u...

According to Harmeet Dhillon and Pam Bondi, disturbing a church service is a felony that deserves immediate arrest for. Think they'll go after these ICE agents?

It would be funny if it weren’t all so sad and dangerous.

This is a big story that will remain crowded out by all of the other chaos the Trump world spins.

When you find yourself thinking that a Trump government is just like any other government, it might be useful to count up the number of basic government functions that ceased to work properly during just his first year.

I'm pretty sure this didn't happen so hard it actually caused things to un-happen.

I hope none of the January 6 insurrectionists hear this.

So, I am not quite sure what this is, but it’s hard to believe Pirro is talking with Main Justice here. DOJ’s Civil Rights Division is suing over DC’s semiautomatic gun ban and the head of the Civil Rights Division, Harmeet Dhillon, backs a national reciprocity law.
