In case anyone is still wondering why Bolton was raided

He’s wanted to declare martial law from day one. Bypass all checks and rule as a tyrant. Many have speculated how he’d do it. Now his gambit is clear. DC was a test. He’s using manufactured crime stats to send troops into blue states & cities. This is not a drill. Democracy is at defcon 1.

Way to go, San Francisco!! 👏👏

If a president wanted to become effectively a dictator, he’d likely: 1. Purge govt of non loyalists 2. Weaponize law against opponents 3. Use military to police opposition strongholds 4. Threaten media, schools, businesses w penalties to get them to heel 5. Change election rules in his favor.

This is just sick. via @ktla.com: Footage obtained by KTLA shows a young man crying, saying his mother had just been taken, and children and protesters running from tear gas that was deployed when a crowd gathered at an immigration raid at a Ventura County farm this afternoon

Trump & the GOP have: -Killed CFPB rules saving consumers $15B in overdraft and credit card late fees -Dropped 22 CFPB actions against corporate lawbreakers -Halted $100M in restitution owed to student borrowers They're on corporate predators' side, not yours.

It’s not enough for Stephen Miller to orchestrate Trump’s deportation agenda. Miller recently disclosed over $100K of stock in Palantir, the shady data firm ICE uses to target and round up immigrants. He’s cashing in on his own cruelty.

Well, gosh, whoda thunk

Maciej Wojciak, a 61-year-old from Holmdel, NJ faces “bias charges” for removing a Pride flag from a donut shop and then giving the Nazi salute This is Trump’s America.

A metaphor if ever there was one: www.usatoday.com/picture-gall...

ICE is using racial profiling and it was completely predictable. ICE (basically): “If they’re brown…we’ll hunt them down!”

Can someone please ask Karoline Leavitt why the Director of White House Personnel refuses to say what country he is from and refuses to complete paperwork for a background check? Can you also ask if “Sergio Gor” is the name on his birth certificate. Seems kinda important.

It took Netanyahu 29 years, but he finally found an American president who was itching to go to war with him against Iran.

Funded by your tax dollars.

A 17-year-old Honduran foster child—identified only as Henry—was removed from his foster home in Pensacola in shackles and transferred to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), according to reporting from the Miami Herald.

The head of a new RFK-backing group promoted 9/11 conspiracy theories and the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. @annamerlan.bsky.social reports on Leland Lehrman, executive director of the MAHA Institute.

PSA: If you think a guy standing on a vandalized Waymo car with a Mexican flag is a bigger issue than the president calling for the arrest of a governor for no reason, you may have lost the plot.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is ousting all members of a key CDC vaccination advisory committee and replacing them with his own picks. The move appears to contradict a pledge he made during his confirmation process.

Blocking Nazis, trolls, and fascists doesn’t make it an “echo chamber.” People need to stop gaslighting us into thinking we have to listen to Nazis and debate trolls in order to be informed.

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

The US dollar: * worst performing G10 currency this year * tracking for its worst year-to-date performance since 1975. 🇺🇸

Who did this? 😂

Federal officers entered Rep. Jerry Nadler’s office in Lower Manhattan on Wednesday and handcuffed and briefly detained one of his aides. The confrontation happened shortly after the aide observed federal agents detaining migrants in a public hallway outside an immigration courtroom.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

An aggressive new initiative by Immigration and Customs Enforcement to detain migrants at immigration courts is the latest escalation in the Trump administration’s effort to ramp up deportations.

President Trump extended relief to at least 11 people whose crimes spanned decades and included tax evasion and extortion, according to a White House official. The pardon recipients confirmed by the official all had felony convictions, like Trump, and could see an array of benefits.

Beyond parody.

So a public company that in 2024 had $3.62 million in total revenue (somewhat better than the average McDonald’s restaurant) and suffered a $401 million net loss is raising $2.5 billion in capital to buy … {checks notes} … bitcoin. Guess whose company it is. www.reuters.com/business/tru...

President Trump pardoned a man sentenced for tax crimes after his mother went to a $1 million-per-plate dinner at Mar-a-Lago. His pardon application cited his mother’s support for the president, including raising millions of dollars and a connection to a plot to publicize a Biden family diary.

“The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.” — Treaty of Tripoli, signed by the United States in 1797.

Justin Sun is a Chinese billionaire who was sued by the Biden SEC in a crypto case. He’s a major investor in Trump’s World Liberty Financial. He also spent $40M+ on $TRUMP coins, earning an invite to dinner with Trump at his Va. golf club on Thurs. He apparently also got a private WH tour.
