ICE and the DHS have claimed multiple times an increase in assaults against their agents to justify officers wearing masks and refusing to identify themselves. The data states otherwise. https://trib.al/QrhwnM6

Trump announces attack on Iran. No congressional approval. At the hands of the self-proclaimed "anti-war" president.

War. An article I power

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

THERE IS VIDEO. AGAIN. Lander didn't lay a hand on anyone. Quite the opposite.

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

Forcing people to work for no pay is very on brand for the president. The thousands of National Guardsmen President Trump sent to Los Angeles in an authoritarian power play are working for free. https://trib.al/MZ7JPyY

Stephen Miller is deliberately choosing to focus more resources on non-criminalsβ€”and thus away from dangerous criminals. Law enforcement insiders have leaked word of their anger over exactly this. https://trib.al/Br7YMSY

Trump thought he'd be watching news coverage of his stupid North Korean style military parade. He thought American would cheer him and his fascism. Instead tonight he's watching every city in America, every town, rise up against him. Happy Birthday, Asshole.

Trump's "perade" is the only event today where crowds are smaller than expected.

Trump’s twisted ideological obsession with deporting momsβ€”and other unauthorized immigrants who have committed no serious crimesβ€”is detracting from the fight against transnational gangs, drug trafficking, and child exploitation. https://trib.al/IYjL258

KARE11: Shooting suspect's roommate says he was a Trump voter β€” KARE11 Reporter: β€œ[Vance] Boelter’s roommate and best friend, known him since 4th grade, did say Boelter voted for Trump and that he was a strong supporter.”

Literally the Russian flag in the post. Two of them

β€œYou have made progress.” β€œYou are not a danger to yourself or others.” The denial letter from Geneva Moore’s insurer directly contradicted her therapist’s words. Cut off from her treatment program, Moore slid into a monthslong downward spiral. (Published Dec. 2024)

Right on brand

Apparently the House has not sent the BBB to the Senate and is attempting to amend it before sending it over. Now is the time to pressure that slim MAGA majority in the House to tank the amendment bill and, through that, tank the BBB. www.threads.com/@annepmitche...

Stephen Miller is now getting destroyed by Gavin Newsom’s Press Office

β€œIn the days to come, the public must be laser focused on seeing the extent to which Secretary Hegseth adheres to these historically recognized limitations.” www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

Terry Moran being suspended by ABC News is ironic given Moran went out of his way to not embarrass Trump over the president’s delusion about the doctored MS13 photo, repeatedly saying β€˜let’s agree to disagree’ and β€˜let’s move on’ but they still got him suspended. You can’t appease these people ever.

I just gonna go ahead and say that putting active duty United States Marines on the streets of an American city is, in fact, heavy handed.

β€œMotivated by love of country” nah Stephen Miller has been on the record as being motivated by hate since he was literally in high school.

Person at National Guard in Downtown LA outside the federal building / Detention Center: β€œThese people are entitled to due process. It’s in the constitution. That’s your loyalty. Not to that a-hoIe in the White House. The Constitution. Due process. Okay? Think. It’s your duty to obey that.”

Terry is just speaking the truth. ABC suspending him is more anticipatory obedience, like their pre-inaugural settlement of Trump's case. Terry if you need a lawyer....

Governor Gavin Newsom’s press office, as usual, is doing good work to debunk Trump’s lies

Fox News affiliate reporter confirms that the β€œNational Guard arrived this morning hours after [Trump’s] post went up.”

ABC correspondent suspended for making wholly accurate observation.

Embracing Musk is, even for this iteration of the Democratic Party, a phenomenally stupid and self-defeating thing to do. Yes, the feud between him and Trump is good for them. Dems should help it continueβ€”not by embracing Musk but by… letting it continue. https://trib.al/93jgxln

So Terry can't call Stephen Miller hateful, but JD Vance can call Terry hateful. Got it.

No riots. No need of any kind for National Guard. The only folks escalating are Trump and his fascist friends.

Governor Gavin Newsom: β€œThe National Guard wasn't even deployed on the ground when Trump posted this. Pete Hegseth runs the Pentagon as well as he throws an axe on a Fox News set.” β€” @governor.ca.gov

No experience? For this position? His 200 word essay must have been *outstanding*. www.propublica.org/article/trum... Thomas Fugate, the 22-Year-Old Leading Trump’s Terrorism Prevention Hub β€” ProPublica

Only ideologues determined to work backward, dressing their own preexisting conclusions up in sciency-sounding language, would describe errors in a "health" report as a mere error of β€œformatting.” Today's Morning Shots from @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social and @eggerdc.bsky.social:

A federal judge found the Trump administration violated a court order by deporting migrants to South Sudan without giving them a chance to object. The DOJ claimed it misunderstood the ruling; the judge called the breach β€œunquestionable.” www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Despite ICE's efforts to keep them apart, Mahmoud Khalil was finally allowed to hold his newborn son for the first time, two months after he was detained for his advocacy in support of Palestinian rights. We celebrate this moment, but Mahmoud should never have been detained in the first place.

‼️ While you were sleeping, House Republicans passed their One Big Bullshit Bill, MAGA Murder Budget, Tax Scam, whatever you wanna call it. Their massive transfer of wealth that steals health care and food from millions of Americans. But this fight is not yet over. Call your Senators. πŸ‘‰ 5calls.org
