Trump and Hegseth have proven that, with only six months of planning, the entire US military can be deployed to defend a few blocks of Pennsylvania Avenue. Xi and Putin must be trembling. by Marc Thiessen

Every single one led by a Black mayor.

We won’t amplify it, but the president posting that Dems are “sick of mind” and “hate our country” immediately after 2 Dem lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes is the opposite of leadership. Gas on the fire.

It was really just a concept of a parade

The MN murderer attended "Christ for the Nations" college in Dallas. That institution was founded by a Cold War era white nationalist and Christian nationalist conspiracy-obsessed preacher named Gordon Lindsay. A thread on Lindsay. bsky.app/profile/seth...

Today, the far right went full masks-off and said, “Fuck it — We’re monarchist now!”

🔥🔥🔥

Turns out those Farsi speakers at Voice of America were more than just woke DEI hires to be casually discarded on a whim

This is what she was saying right as Sen. Padilla interrupted with a question. As he should have!

USMC Ret. Lt. Colonel Joe Plenzler deployed with the same Marine battalion now heading to Los Angeles. Marines training for war are now being deployed against American citizens. This crosses a dangerous line. Brothers, remember your ethos, #RememberYourOath.

Regarding recent immigration actions and the Club World Cup.

KHANNA: Can you assure the American people you will respect the SCOTUS decision on this matter about whether the Marines are constitutional & you will respect the district courts? HEGSETH: What I can say is we shouldn't have local judges determining foreign policy or natl security for the country

Newsom: "He's been a stone cold liar about what he said we talked about. He never discussed the National Guard. Period. Full stop. I would love to share with you what he actually talked about. It would send shivers up your spine."

One year after Beyonce became the first Black artist to win a Grammy for Best Country Album. They have now decided to split Country into two categories; Contemporary and Traditional. Complete coincidence, I'm sure.

Sen. Alex Padilla, who was just forcibly removed from a DHS press conference, is the ranking member of Judiciary’s subcommittee on immigration, citizenship, and border safety, which has “oversight of federal agencies with citizenship, asylum, refugee, and immigration enforcement responsibilities.”

Sen. Chuck Schumer: "I just saw something that sickened my stomach; the manhandling of a United States Senator. We need immediate answers to what the hell went on."

More Americans voted for Senator Alex Padilla than for 48 of the 53 red state GOP U.S. Senators combined.

Will Democrats stand up and fight for Senator Padilla who was man-handled by agents? Let's see.

President Trump’s federal agents are now chasing migrant farm workers through fields — and circling them with a CBP chopper normally used to track smuggling at the border — in the heart of the nation’s agricultural economy. here’s my report from Ventura County, California.

Really important story - army officials asked soldiers to identify themselves if they don't agree with Trump's politics that way he'd get only supportive soldiers in uniform during his political rally on base. Heavier soldiers were also barred from participating.

This is the price history for a 2 bed, 1 bath (1,469 sf), fully landlocked farmhouse in northern Michigan. Migrants are not tripling mortgage rates. Migrants are not tariffing construction materials. Migrants are not running blackstone. When all this cruelty solves nothing, who will they blame next?

Foster Children Removed for Deportation 😢

me: in cheers frasier said his dad was dead but then when sam visited him in seattle he had to explain that he was lying because their relationship was strained but to me the weirder thing is he never mentioned niles to anyone at cheers the federal soldier being unlawfully quartered in my home: ok

Whether it's right ending democracy and turning the United States into a military dictatorship or the left slapping a flier onto Chris Cillizza's Tesla, both sides have descended into nihilistic lawlessness.

“This is who Trump is. This is what he said he would do if he returned to office.” Watch @mehdirhasan.bsky.social unpack Trump’s autocratic love for violence against protesters after he sent troops to L.A. where protests are ongoing in response to ICE raids across the city

It's been really demoralizng how much the press mindlessly repeats the lie that the National Guard was sent to quell violence. It was sent to start violence. People know this, so just say it.

BREAKING: ICE is preparing to deploy tactical units to five cities run by Democratic leaders, according to two sources familiar with the planning of future ICE operations.

Miller "directed them to target Home Depot, where day laborers typically gather for hire, or 7-Eleven .. stores. Miller bet that he and a handful of agents could go out .. and arrest 30 people right away. “Who here thinks they can do it?” Miller said .." @wsj.com www.wsj.com/us-news/prot...

At no point in this entire article of 16 paragraphs does ABC mention that another cop killed this cop by shooting her in the back. Nor does it mention the name of the cop who killed this cop. Nor does it mention that the civilians involved never fired at them. ABC might as well be state media.

Breaking: ABC News says senior national correspondent Terry Moran "has been suspended pending further evaluation." This since-deleted tweet is the reason for the suspension:

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.

And thanks to a generation of reactionary centrists, feckless Dems, autocratic GOPers, and a TV culture of non-stop crime shows and bleeds-it-leads news, we spent TWENTY-FIVE YEARS of declining and low crime rates building out that police-state style police system at EVERY level of government.

hahahahahahahahahahhahahahahaha (breath) hahahahahahaha

🚨Another HUGE bit of news tonight; in collaboration with the Trump admin, Texas just kicked 20,000 undocumented college students — people who grew up in Texas and graduated from high school there — out of eligibility for in-state tuition. This may force thousands to drop out.

I think you should know that Trump put the same gold-framed painting of Reagan in the Oval Office as can be seen in the office of the colonel in the movie “MacGruber.”

Cruel and Dangerous… The Trump administration just announced it’s shutting all Job Corps centers nationwide by June 30—no warning, no plan, just blindsiding students and families. Any thought given to the lives this disrupts? Any thought given to the skilled labor shortage this will make worse?

when i tweeted this eight years ago IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A JOKE

The thing with replacing the rule of law with a mafia state is that it's not good for business even if it can be good for particular businesses at particular times; whether Silicon Valley elites will be able to see through their crushes on Donald Trump and figure this out, who knows
