Every time I re-read Trump v. United States, it feels like getting hit in the head with a mallet.

That‘s the spirit.

Heads are going to explode 💥 Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third. All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit. 1/3

This should be front page news. There should be hearings about it.

well that clip is gonna show up in some ads

This cannot be something a civilian law enforcement agent is allowed to wear in the US — and an agency that has a culture that tolerates this cannot be saved.

In ep 438 of @wheelbearings.media we discussed a listener spotting a BYD in California and whether Vinfast is still viable in America youtube.com/shorts/MDIwz...

No, Toyota’s Upcoming Reveal Isn’t A Truck Last week Toyota released a teaser image of a new vehicle that it's going be revealing on February 10, 2026. In a post here on Wheel Bearings, I speculated that this was probably a new crossover and provided some rationale for what it might be, perhaps a…

Adios To A Pioneer This week both Sam and Nicole had the 2026 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy although in different colors. Nicole has had several first drives to report on including the Kia K4 hatchback, refreshed Honda Pilot and Honda Prelude. Congress voted not to kill the mandate for a drunk…

Portland, OR., Mayor Keith Wilson: "To those who continue to work for ICE: Resign. To those who control this facility: Leave. Through your use of violence and the trampling of the Constitution, you have lost all legitimacy and replaced it with shame." www.portland.gov/mayor/keith-...

“Criminality is so rampant inside CBP that it has seen one of its own agents or officers arrested every 24 to 36 hours since 2005.”

A Conversation With Zeekr’s Giovanni Lanfranchi At CES 2026 Sam and friend of the show John Voelker sat down for a conversation with Giovanni Lanfranchi, CEO of Zeekr Technology Europe to learn more about the Geely Group's approach to product development.

I'm old enough to remember when it was the KGB and Stasi that accompanied athletes to the Olympics to keep them from defecting. www.bbc.com/news/article...

glory to those who defend the republic! nice of tom homan to help out with the project

"You raise your voice, I erase your voice." ICE in Minneapolis are erasing your rights. Please share our new video of what's happening in our city. youtu.be/W1dyNcRGRXY

Something New Coming From Toyota Toyota has just dropped a teaser image for a new vehicle it's going to be revealing soon. They haven't given us any information at all on exactly what it is, but we can make an educated guess based on what little we can see and the cadence of Toyota's product…

I've been living in interesting time for 25 years. Please, I would like some boring times.

This is like how the Catholic Church passed known pedophiles from parish to parish

What we have in CBP/ICE is quite literally the brown shirts of 1933 with Bovino and Noem playing the part of Ernst Rohm. The question is when will the night of the long knives happen?

Everyone take a big step back and stop supporting, subscribing and quoting the New York Times. They have become almost as much of an administration mouthpiece as fox

Wrote about the observers. The people standing by and filming and the risk they are taking to let the world see what is happening. It's crucial and its the only way to combat the lies and blatant propaganda. www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

Yearly reminder that you don’t need all-wheel drive to drive in the snow, and you sure as fuck don’t need a big SUV You need good snow tires and Practice :)

talking with someone about this today, and their whole expression sharpened suddenly as they asked "is that why ICE is angry people have video from multiple angles?" AI is the enemy of documentation--which is a way of saying, it's the enemy of accountability.

Every one of those CEOs that signed on to this letter should be ashamed

Law enforcement is an important element of helping to maintain a civil society. But it only works if everyone is subject to the rule of law including police and politicians. If one side has any immunity you will inevitably have tyranny. It's to end all immunity for law enforcement and politicians

How Much For That Old Truck? Unfortunately, Robbie had a migraine this morning so it's just Nicole and Sam. Nicole has been driving the latest Toyota Prius with AWD in New Hampshire snow and Sam had the Cadillac Lyriq Signature Sport AWD in Michigan winter weather. Volvo finally dropped all the…

If the administration's logic about use of force were reasonable or widely-accepted, there would have been a whole lot more dead bodies on the floor of the US Capitol on January 6, 2021

Why are you so worried about people knowing who law enforcement officers are? I mean, if they’re innocent they should have nothing to fear, right?

If you voted for Donald Trump you are an accessory to murder and guilty of treason to the constitution

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump. Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

Holy crap. This is the most damning video yet. It shows Border Patrol agents clearly taking Alex's firearm, running it away, and THEN executed him in cold blood by emptying a clip into his face. Murder.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Charlie Kirk was forgotten in days. May the ICE murdered be in memory forever.

I had missed this astounding @nytimes.com takedown of current #FBI director Kash Patel. Adjectives fail me. He doesn't read. His main concern was social media. And in line with absolutists everywhere, his obsession was controlling the narrative. Investigations? Not so much. Read it. [gift link]

Absolute banger of a comment on r/military: www.reddit.com/r/Military/c...

The Republican position now appears to be that you have a constitutional right to openly carry a gun in public, unless you do so while expressing a view that the government dislikes, in which case the secret police can shoot you to death on the spot.

Stand up Americans! Protest! Abolish ICE! 🇺🇸💪🏻

It's about time to stand up to these bullies and thugs

Here. I couldn't think of anything better to say. othermeans.io/p/on-being-a...

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

As @kenwhite.bsky.social has said before: "A government that deliberately abandons the rule of law is not morally entitled to its protections." We have eclipsed that tipping point.
