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.

These fascist dipshits keep claiming there is all kinds of violence in Los Angeles right now. At this very moment, even! Weirdly, every single local channel is running regular programming, instead of this BREAKING NEWS EVENT. It's like ... it's like the dipshits are lying, or something. Weird.

You can’t trust a news agency that doesn’t have its reporters’ backs. You have to assume they’re meddling with coverage of the admin in other ways. ABC is toast.

The two universal pundit truths are that (1) you have a civic obligation to let random freaks hurl racism and abuse at you for the sake of "discourse" and (2) you must never be rude to pundits themselves because they are more important than you and don't have to put up with that.

For some reason, I was just thinking about how Trump’s former chief of staff tried to warn us right before the election that Trump was a fascist who wanted to rule us like a dictator … and the New York Times put that story on page A12

Perhaps Newsom should have spent less time chumming around with authoritarian buffoons on his podcast and more time preparing and strategizing for the entirely predicable thing that is happening in his state right now.

Given the news—both what we're seeing in the streets and Stephen Miller saying the anti-ICE protesters are engaging in an "insurrection"—let me re-up this article from last year about why the Insurrection Act is even more dangerous than you might think. www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-insu...

This is a good point, and I need to think about the fallout from these two pissy babies tantruming at each other. It's funny, certainly, but the ramifications could be very serious for a lot of reasons. Those faces are getting eaten by leopards pretty voraciously right now.

Abducting people at work sites - meaning they have jobs. Capturing them at court dates - meaning they're following the law. Blocking them from accessible higher education - meaning they're striving for more. And peddling lies about jobless, lawless, driftless.

Trump keeps using Mafia-like threats to get firms "not to publicly attribute price hikes to tariffs." When Mattel's CEO talked of this, he responded: “We’ll put a 100% tariff on his toys, and he won’t sell one toy in the United States... I wouldn’t want to have him as an executive too long.”

Man comes to the US from Lebanon. Starts out delivering pizzas, becomes a Nobel winning neuroscientist. Trump freezes his funding, he gets an email from China offering to move his lab “any city, any university I want" with guaranteed funding for 20 years. What are we doing?

Let’s talk for a moment about some of the more subtle ways that the press acts as a mouthpiece for law enforcement. Actor Jonathan Joss was shot to death on Sunday. I don’t know what happened; I wasn’t there. But his husband said a homophobic neighbor shot him as part of an explicit hate crime. /1
