“Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die.” That’s what the President of the United States is saying to the American people. He won’t be hurt by a retaliatory attack or high gas prices. But you will — and that’s a sacrifice he’s willing to make.

Media ecosystems fragment under volume. One constituency tracks immigration. Another tracks tariffs. Another tracks strikes abroad. Shared narrative space shrinks. Division dilutes attention.

Saying goodbye to the bird-legged hoe. #SheShed

Maybe a president shouldn’t have pardon power.

Bahahaha. 😁😏 #DJT #DJ6T #FDJ6T #PantsOnFireDJ6T

War without sustained debate changes civic expectations. It normalizes urgency as governance. Urgency is useful in crisis. Urgency prolonged is corrosive.

AOC: This is about actual crimes happening in front of us. This is about shredding the Constitution and plunging us into war. This is about taking crypto money and money laundering… So if you’re asking me if I’d support impeachment, I do

NOEM: I would disagree with the judge CROCKETT: I'm sure you would, but can you tell me whether or not you have a law degree? NOEM: A what? CROCKETT: A law degree NOEM: No I do no- CROCKETT: Okay

The Trump regime has abandoned the constitution: - declared war without Congressional authorization - ignoring multiple court orders - impounding Congressional authorized funds - ignoring the freedom of speech and assembly It’s a lawless regime that has no legitimacy.

WALZ: What a 'stop payment' meant by what the administration did last week is 400,000 children without healthcare COMER: We believe that's your fault WALZ: Our Medicaid error rate is lower than your state

The portrait is out of the attic.

NOEM: Our federal detention centers are held to the highest standards in comparison to other detaining facilities McBATH: Did you just hear me? He has to crawl through mold and feces and bodily fluids just to take a shower. This is absolute lunacy and you know it.

Raskin: Based on what you know today, were Renee Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists? Noem: What happened was an absolute tragedy. Raskin: Were they domestic terrorists? Noem: My condolences to their families Raskin: You lied about them.

A republic is not defeated only by ideology. It can be strained by velocity. When speed, volume, and spectacle outpace deliberation, the constitutional floor weakens. United we stand applies not just to people, but to attention itself.

Dear MAGA: Remember when Qanon was going to work with Trump to arrest all those pedophiles in Epstein's files? So... ... What happened there?

ICE is trafficking pregnant girls to Texas to prevent them from having choice including in cases of rape. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The thing people should be voting for isn't party, isn't religious beliefs, people should be fighting againist corruptions.

I think we should have the right to vote out a president that doesn't follow the laws or rules.

Justice Department slashes funding for child sex trafficking

😳😳😳😳

BLUMENTHAL: Wouldn't you agree no citizen working lawfully should be arrested? NOEM: There are times when they may be arrested or detained until identity is confirmed B: Would you agree citizens should not be arrested? N: When there's probable cause ... B: They said, 'Get him. He's Mexican'

SCOOP: An internal DHS document obtained by 404 Media shows for the first time CBP used location data sourced from the online advertising industry to track phone locations. This surveillance can happen through all sorts of apps, such as video games, news apps, weather trackers, and dating apps.

Your data will be used against you.

I voted in Dallas County today. The texas.gov site wouldn't tell me where to go, so I went to where I voted in the '24 presidential election. They said I was at the wrong place, and gave me the address I needed to go to. That place then informed me I had to go somewhere else.

Seems like the media should at least express some curiosity about this. open.substack.com/pub/jonathan...

While the McDonald’s CEO gets roasted for his awkward burger taste test... McDonald’s is among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. And McDonald's CEO recently raked in $18.2M — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. That should leave a bad taste in your mouth.

I have absolutely no idea what Trump is trying to accomplish in Iran, or how he plans to accomplish it, and the fun thing is that neither does he! That's why the constitution does not give the President the authority to launch wars without Congressional approval.

This is what happens when oligarchs control the *news*

Priorities.

Transparency battles are not only about documents. They’re about who controls the storyline. Control the release cadence, and you influence what stays in public memory.

Tillis: You decided to kill that dog because you had not invested the appropriate time in training it, and then you have the audacity to say it’s a leadership lesson. You killed a goat and said it was behaving badly. You’re a farmer — you don’t castrate a goat, they behave badly.

We need to amend the constitution and remove POTUS as commander and chief of the military!!! All war powers go to congress and congress alone!!

Power expands most easily when citizens are busy reacting. The republic endures when citizens can focus long enough to evaluate structure, not just spectacle.

maybe it's just me, but peace seems a lot like war.

10 years ago, Bernie Sanders warned America of the unintended consequences that could emerge from a regime change war with Iran. Watch.

Not only *did* they start this war, they have no idea how to finish it.

Speed is not strength. Volume is not reform. When executive power moves across immigration, war, tariffs, AI, and civil service all at once, scrutiny fragments. Attention divides. Oversight weakens. A republic can survive disagreement. It struggles when focus itself collapses.

Policies should solve real problems. Using nostalgia to prop up a shrinking manufacturing sector misallocates resources and raises living costs for consumers. We need forward-looking economic solutions, not nostalgic dreams.

News isn’t just what happened. It’s what gets amplified. Continuous cycles, consolidated ownership, and algorithmic distribution reward activation over orientation. We’re informed in real time, but understanding lags behind velocity. Incentives shape reality.

Trump seems to think everyone is like him. So his accusations are always what he would/did do.

You don’t beat the far right with moderation. You have to confront it. Career politicians are unequipped to handle this moment. It’s time for them to step aside.

When Nihilistic-Narcissistic Nationalism says opponents have “no morals,” it’s rarely theology. “Moral” means loyal. “Immoral” means dissenting. That’s not ethics. That’s tribal enforcement dressed as virtue.

Rep. Wesley Hunt: "What I trust is that if we behave precisely and act in a way that has a strong destructive impact on these countries, that we don't have to get involved in these long wars. You have to trust the process."

ICE was very active in Minneapolis today, they kidnapped multiple people. ICE didn't leave, the media has moved on but we are still under federal occupation.

this is horrifying. this is why they say death to america. because all we bring is death to their children and people

Oh boy, the letter that the White House is about to receive from Dems is going to be so sternly worded, it will be game over.

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

One group asks, “What preserves legitimacy?” The other asks, “What protects our side?” That’s the difference.
