This administration needs to stop targeting international reporters, they’re the ones helping spread the truth. In multiple videos, officers are seen aiming directly at them, fully aware they’re members of the press. These so-called “non-lethal” rounds can absolutely be lethal.

ICE now has a 3,000 deportations a day quota. Like that traffic cop with a quota: Arresting ten people for going 30 mph in a 25 mph zone is TEN TIMES better than arresting one person for going 75 mph in that same 25 mph zone.

Why sheriff Taylor doesn't carry a gun. Clip from 'The Andy Griffith Show', season 5, episode 23. Broadcast on March 1st, 1965.

DEVELOPING: No warning. No reason. NYPD officers rushed into the crowd and tackled a protester this weekend. His body was limp. He couldn’t move. He said, “I can’t feel my legs.” He might never walk again. For showing up. This is brutality. This is America.

The military isn’t being employed to carry out an immigration policy. The immigration policy, and especially the way the administration is choosing to carry it out, is an excuse to call out the military.

And there you have it. ICE didn't target migrant workers in Kristi Noem's farms or Sarah Huckabee Sanders' meatpacking plants because they wanted to create a riot in LA as a pretext to declaring martial law. They don't care about undocumented migrants, they only care about controlling US citizens.

People are going to get seriously hurt, or worse, over this maniac’s escalation.

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio tried to give a press conference to announce his lawsuit against DOJ. Much to my surprise it turned out to be the greatest press conference of all-time.

I love this. So much.

PRO PUBLICA: Of the 238 men sent to an El Salvador mega prison, only 6 had prior violent crime convictions. 0 were on the gang member list. 130 had no criminal history. 32 had minor offenses. All 238 thought they were being sent back to Venezuela. www.instagram.com/p/DKcjM7FPhz...

If you want to astound a younger American today, tell them that thirty years ago there was actually a years-long investigation into a president's personal business dealings and, even better, it centered on a real estate venture where he *lost* money.

Donald has spent the last week pardoning his friends who defrauded Medicare, union pensions, banks, and more. This is what “fraud and abuse” actually looks like. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/c...

With this awful terror attack in Colorado, Congress needs to ask how many federal resources have been pulled from counterterrorism to deport Hispanics?

For all the “Russia participates in the START treaty which is why the bombers we’re in the open” level of cope out there: No they don’t. They suspended their participation in 2023. They just thought the bombers we’re safe

Tesla Takedown in Boston.

Love the way the FNYT has to qualify that the claim that Biden was executed and replaced with a clone robot is not true.

Spare us the fake outrage.

Is that a seal or a chicken? Why, it's BOTH!"

Folks don’t miss a beat 😂

Deranged chaos agent anti-vaxxer RFK Jr. just instructed HHS to cancel over $700M in funding with Moderna to help develop a vaccine for various flu strains that would trigger future pandemics including the deadly H5N1 bird flu virus. This would be called murder.

EU 50% tariffs didn’t even last a full weekend. Another made up fake problem solved by a insane fake president. All it creates is chaos and economic uncertainty.

The US is now complicit in the deaths of Ukrainians as Trump ONCE AGAIN does not sanction Russia despite his so called “red line.” He is the weakest so called leader America has had in its history.

Dear Tim Cook, Extortion is a continuous process. Hope this helps.

People should be SHAMED for staying in office so long they die there, leading to legislative and electoral losses. YOUR ego is NOT more important than the CAUSE. Millions of people are going to die on the altar of career goals. And yet I will be viciously attacked for stating this obvious truth.

My Congressman, Sam Graves, voted to gut Medicaid. This is a map of how many folks he couldn’t give two shits about…
