You know, if I do get rounded up eventually and sent off to Guantanamo, at least there were some fun moments.

You know what’s annoying? Gavin Newsom is standing up and putting himself on the line. And the political press has to frame it as campaigning for president. Maybe he would like to be president, but that’s not really the point right now.

I suppose all this tripe about Biden's age might be important to know, but it belongs on the History Channel. It's not news. You know what's news? The president deploying the military against US citizens. The Billionaire Bailout Bill. DOGE getting access to our private data. THAT is news.

It’s completely insane that US troops are illegally deployed to suppress domestic opposition and it’s not uniformly condemned by the press and political elite.

“If some of us can be snatched off the streets without a warrant based only on suspicion or skin colour, then none of us are safe. Authoritarian regimes begin by targeting people who are least able to defend themselves. But they do not stop there.”

This entire "national immigration emergency" is the fakedy-est faked fake emergency in the history of fakery That is what it was on January 20, and that is what it is now The whole thing is a steaming, fly-riddled pile of horseshit and anyone who tracks immigration trends knows it

The worst thing I could say about John Fetterman is that he has become the guy who he always looked like he was.

Remember when Colbert roasted W at the 2006 correspondents‘ dinner, quipping that “reality has a well-known liberal bias”? Twenty years later (almost), and the NPS is now required to crowdsource “information” based on personal feelings because the historical facts are deemed too unpleasant. Cool. 🗃️

It’s not just that Newsom’s office posted this. It’s that whoever made this added a Taylor Swift song. This burn works on sooooo many levels 😂 #RUOK

Yeah if I thought there was even a 5% chance of being renditioned to Gitmo or El Salvador for the crime of leaving my passport at the hotel, I would simply not travel. This is going to kill tourism.

I decided to take the paywall off of this one. It's a few days old, but it gives the right context. Donald Trump is doing all of this BECAUSE HE'S LOSING. This is not his final and inexorable triumph. It's the last desperate gasp of a failing strongman. www.tracinskiletter.com/p/the-taco-r...

I'm dissociating myself from anyone who stood behind Trump at Fort Bragg, and in their heart and mind agreed with him...and endorsed the BS he was saying. Those folks (and I'm allowing for the remote possibility that not all of them support him) are not my brothers and sisters. We are not the same.

Just a heads up, the scammers are working hard to get money from you. If you get a call from any law enforcement agency saying you have a warrant for any reason its false. This wouldn't ever happen, you would get something in the mail or a deputy at the door. Don't fall for it. I

Bill Clinton is a brave guy in America right now. At a naturalisation ceremony for 38 new citizens he defended immigration as America’s greatest strength. “I don't think we need fewer immigrants. I think we need more." How many would say that?

Corporate media has truly failed us. Obsessed with access and focused on nothing more than their monetary perks and book deals, they'll happily slow walk us into the dismantling of the Republic if it means they still get Oval Office exclusives. Support independent media.
