WATCH: “There were ICE raids at the bars in downtown Nashville.” Singer @montemader.bsky.social says ICE agents were raiding bars on Broadway unlawfully — going after cooks, NOT criminals — and offers a plausible theory for why they wear masks. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DJgZk_W...

An elected official accepting a 747 from a foreign country is so flamboyantly illegal that any news outlet characterizing it as "controversial" or "an ethical issue" should be ignored, have their subscriptions canceled and their reporters banned as TV pundits forever. This isn't close.

This isn’t a good idea even if the plane was being donated to the U.S. government. But Trump GETS TO KEEP THE PLANE??? It’s simply a cash payment to Trump in exchange for favors. Just wildly illegal.

This is not good. State trooper cars should be highly visible and marked. It’s not safe to have unmarked or low visibility vehicles pulling people over, especially in the age of ICE kidnappings. www.kctv5.com/2025/05/09/c...

If they suspend Habeas Corpus, it won't just be for "migrants" or "illegals" or "criminals." If they suspend Habeas Corpus it will be for you and me and whomever this regime decides is unfit, undesirable, and a threat or a problem. This is how it works. This is how it's always worked.

The GOP wanted to impeach Biden for a fake $5M bribe from Ukraine that was made up by a guy sitting in prison for lying about it, but they’re cool with a $400M plane from Qatar. Do I have that right?

Something I used for decades in classes: the constitution and laws are the exoskeleton of a democracy. The norms are the ligaments and tendons. Lose them and it all collapses. And that is what we are losing. Shrugs over the biggest grift in history.

Trump is accepting a bribe from the royal family of Qatar in the form of a luxury airliner. The use of this aircraft as Air Force One also raises national security concerns. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/11/u...

I know that we all know this but I have to say it anyway - why the fuck would a business eat at 10% increase in the cost of doing business? How would they? Is there a business that has that much of a profit margin that they can “eat” a 10% increase?

It’s almost as if they’re intentionally trying to kill the airline and tourism industries. A normal Transportation Secretary would be out there trying to calm people’s fears after the Newark incidents, he’s stoking them.

I wrote the definitive book on “continuity of government” and let me tell you: The idea of the US commander-in-chief flying on a plane from a foreign govt is a literal security nightmare. There’s a reason the US is the only country in the world that provides its leader his own helicopters overseas.

Tear off the masks when they show up. Take their photos. Get them on video. Expose them. Out them. Name them. They need to be made into pariahs where decent people gather. We cannot allow them to terrorize us. Eyes open. Phones on.

AOC: This administration — and Noem — spits on the American flag every time they engage in that nonsense. So I don’t want to hear anything about “America First.” These people, and this administration, are putting America last by acting like their allegiance is to a man instead of the Constitution.
