Using open-source video, we reconstruct five shots fired in five minutes by a Border Patrol Tactical Unit (BORTAC) agent, mapping timing, locations, munition types, and trajectories. Four shots appear aimed at protesters’ faces at close range.

Most Americans don't want Greenland. They want the Epstein files.

At least 10 people were taken by federal immigration agents in the Echo Park and Silver Lake area this past Friday, according to the Echo Park Local, a chapter of the Los Angeles Tenants Union. The full story: lataco.com/ten-people-t... By Aisha Wallace-Palomares

Made a lil quiz — guess the movie based on its opening shot www.polygon.com/movie-franch...

WELKER: Has the president crossed the line of impeachment? CHRIS MURPHY: I have common sense. I know this president has committed 10 times more impeachable offenses in his second term as he did in his first. He's stealing from the American people.

I wish this weren't true, but we now have take his threats about Greenland more seriously, and start to talk about the world-changing mistake if he chose to go to war with Europe - which would essentially guarantee the rest of this century is China's.

Freedom City = Charter City = Network State =

I don't know how to describe it, but there's this profound brokenness in the American body politic where nobody can take the implications of anything seriously. People keep saying things that should be existential threats to the political system, and then everyone just keeps going on as normal.

The Epstein files are at the center of Trump’s corruption at the DOJ. The American public wants the truth, and we won’t stop fighting until we get justice for the survivors.

Maj Gen Paul Eaton says US president’s effort to bend military to his will could have dire long-term consequences

The dangerous part is what happens if this "deal" gets extended to Xi Jinping in Asia, who actually has ambitions that could be potentially far more disruptive than Putin or Trump can actually realize in their respective spheres, at least without significant pushback.

And no fentanyl mentioned… You know, the drug Americans have been murdering civilians over in the Caribbean… The indictment only mentions cocaine…You know, the drug smuggled into America by former Honduran President, Hernández, who was pardoned by the pedo-criminal after actually smuggling cocaine

It appears the whole Putin “Ukraine tried to kill me with 91 drones last night” was entirely made up. And of course Trump repeated it and said he was mad at Ukraine. Nightly Russia launched drones and missiles at innocent people. And tried to Kill Zelensky every day Spare me the gaslight

Barely a blip in the news. 🦗from the New York Times editorial and opinion pages. Compare with days of Hunter Biden Hysteria about unprecedented abuse of the pardon power.

The United States was the wealthiest most powerful Empire in the history of the world, then we elected a crybaby twice.

One thing I love is obsolete technology being encoded in our language. Words like “footage” and “rewind” and “dial (as a phone)” that literally describe a physicality that doesn’t exist anymore, yet lingers linguistically. Anybody have any other examples?

🧵 This is already getting lost. Someone in power has finally voiced the real natl security threat behind the Epstein files. In addition to the direct harm to victims, all of America has been harmed if blackmail and extortion control public policy. Is one branch implicated? Two? All three?

Für Elise Stefanick’s campaign proved to be more pathétique than eroica. But if you asked her why she dropped out, she’d probably plead the fifth. by Maureen Dowd

the tea party was really a seminal shift in how the median congressperson behaved in person you stopped needing to be a successful schmoozer and started needing to be a totally unreasonable lunatic to win your primaries, and social media has only accelerated this

Border Patrol's Greg Bovino walked away when I asked him today if it were hypocritical to talk about foreigners with DUIs when there's a history of that in his family. Bovino's dad went to prison after killing a woman while driving drunk - as we detailed in this profile www.wbez.org/immigration/...

This used to be Tulsi Gabbard.

Whoever recommended INVASION to me, you got played. It’s a soap opera with a blue filter.

He has been held in a detention centre in New York State since August and on Monday (15 December) there will be an immigration hearing to decide whether he can remain in the US, or will be sent back to China, where human rights experts believe he will be in extreme danger.

Every post about Nuzzi/American Canto sounds like "This milk's spoiled rotten! Here, taste it." I'm good, thanks.

MORPHEUS: They're coming for you, Neo. I can guide you, but you must do exactly as I say. Take the elevator to the lobby and go to the CVS across the street. Purchase 5 Steam gift cards at $200 each.

After this weekend's racist attacks on the EU, I've written a column about the moral obligation to stop posting on X. Oh no, wait, I wrote it *two years ago* when it was blatantly obvious what was going on and how it would get much much worse. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Pleased to meet with @governor.ca.gov Gavin Newsom in Washington to discuss obtaining federal aid for victims of the #Palisades and #Eaton Fires. I’m grateful the Governor has devoted so much time and attention to January’s fires and to supporting affected communities in the months since. (1/2)

Conway: This is a criminal government. Unless you are willing to say that, you’re basically fighting on their terms. They get to lie, and they win that battle because people say, “We shouldn’t use that kind of language.” But you get to use that language when it’s fucking true.

Oh, yes, these ppl definitely want to create a true middle independent party. They’d also like to inspect NPR’s wallet. Just for a moment.

Trump allowed 17 members of the Sinaloa cartel into the US. In May he commuted the 6x life sentences of the leader of the Gangster Disciples, most notorious drug trafficking & murderous street gang in the US. Now Honduran drug trafficker Hernandez. Is Trump setting up his own drug corridor?

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

as far as i’m concerned, this is witchcraft

For scale: I spent eleven days in the maximum security wing of a local county lockup before a judge heard my case and moved me to min. I had one hour out of the cell a day. The cell was small. There was a speaker in the ceiling. By the end I was talking to the speaker and spending hours each day

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired. If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

I’m sure these two things have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with each other.
