It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

Has anyone asked the Department of Homeland Security why the agents it hires for ICE, HSI, etc. are so cowardly, weak and out-of-shape that a) they won't even show their faces in public and b) they need to pretend they were "assaulted" by two woman members of Congress, one of whom is 80 years old?

I am begging Democrats from @schumer.senate.gov on down to take their cues from communication like this. It’s direct, it’s honest, and it pulls no punches. Americans want politicians who talk like human beings, not poll-tested robots. Rep. Crockett is nailing that.

100 days of Trump 2.0 and what do we have? Mass deportations, pardons for insurrectionists, federal purges, economic whiplash, and tariffs choking families. This ain’t leadership—it’s vengeance in a suit. He’s not rebuilding America, he’s gutting it.

they know there's going to be an apocalypse for trucking jobs due to tariffs so they're trying to stem the political damage by making it so the layoffs disproportionately affect non-english speaking truckers

This is deranged. Jan. 6 defendants were repped by one of the best public defender offices in the U.S. They were more likely to be released pretrial & got comparatively light sentences. SCOTUS threw out a bunch of convictions, which almost never happens. They got gold-plated due process!

NYT actually published this sentence, which asks us to take baseless moral panic bullshit seriously as a reasonable position. Supporters of the Holocaust considered Jews to be subhuman saboteurs of German society, too. So fucking what??

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Legit the best thing any Dem has done to date in response to Trump and it happened because he cared more about serving his constituents than public polling about immigration.

The current American regime claims, via a variety of changing stories and statements, that this guy they kidnapped is a dangerous gang member who committed crimes. That they refuse to show any evidence of, to the public or to a judge. In America. In 2025. After originally admitting it was a mistake.

We've seen videos like this before, but usually when you see a tearful wife pleading with the kidnappers who have taken her husband, she's not talking to the U.S. president

RFK Jr's always going on about "healthy" and what he means is a mixture of nihilism and eugenics, that public health and medicine are pointless because "unhealthy" people are going to (and deserve to) die anyway. Never mind the kid's death was easily preventable. Call them "unhealthy" and move on.
