Your periodic reminder that when the Trump admin says DEI, what they mean is that Lloyd Austin, a decorated general, is DEI because he is Black. This dimwitted paragon of mediocrity is “merit,” because he’s White and is a lapdog for Donald Trump.

The media in 2025 is owned and operated by the biggest fucking cowards in American history. There is indisputable video evidence of what happened. Trump, Noem and DHS are lying and @nbcnews.com knows that. But “administration’s account” as if there’s a dispute. Unbelievable.

Btw, a hearty “told you so” to all of the politicians/pundits/talking heads who said we shouldn’t be “distracted” by immigration because it didn’t poll well and Americans couldn’t understand issues like due process and the Constitution. This was never about just immigration.

Kristi Noem said yesterday that they were going to “liberate” L.A. from its elected leaders. A sitting Senator identified himself and began to ask a question when he was attacked by federal agents. Those facts are all on video. The media should not allow the GOP to lie or gaslight us. Grow a spine.

Step 1: The incompetent thugs at ICE flagrantly violate the Constitution, the law, a court order, or common decency. (Done) Step 2: The Trump admin lies about Step One. (Ongoing) Step 3: Once everyone knows they're lying, DOJ brings a bs indictment against someone related to Step One. (TBD)

Dear L.A. District Attorney and Chief of Police: The thugs who assaulted a sitting Senator today should be arrested and charged.

Interesting times. Trump says these people saved L.A. from protesters who were destroying it and some media outlets ignored footage like this and focused on small groups of people throwing rocks or burning cars, literally helping Trump spread misinformation.

The U.S. has likely already killed vulnerable people by cutting funding for life-saving medical care and food programs. But we are going to spend tens of millions for a military parade to stroke the ego of a racist dipshit who thinks this is North Korea. God help us.

If Donald Trump, Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller think L.A. is the first stop in their march to martial law and fascism, they better think again.

In other news, ABC is changing its name to ABFC News - A Bunch of Fucking Cowards.

ICE is now controlled by White supremacists who think actual domestic terrorists are patriots and that America’s real enemies are dishwashers, day workers at Home Depot, and anyone who believes they should be treated like human beings. The entire fucking agency has been corrupted and needs to go.

No one who helped create DHS likely imagined that it could be controlled by people as lawless, bigoted and stupid as Trump and Noem, but we know that now. We also know how dangerous DHS is in their hands. As soon as they are gone, and they will be gone, wholesale reform of DHS must be a priority.

Dear Media: If your definition of a "feud" is a POTUS: 1) sending masked thugs to kidnap restaurant workers; 2) responding to peaceful protests by sending in the National Guard; 3) calling for the arrest of a duly elected governor; and then 4) sending in the Marines; please go fuck yourself.

I would advise protesters in LA to grab some Trump flags and dumb looking MAGA hats. They can then legally beat police officers, threaten to hang the VP, damage property and try to overthrow the government.

When the LAPD responds this way to threats from the White House and DoD, you know our problem is not protesters. Our problem is the racist, fascist dipshits who are running this country right now.

Sure, geniuses like Trump, Rubio and Noem are trying to make the U.S. a pariah state for foreign scientists, scholars, teachers, athletes, tourists, and students. But Coco Gauff just won the French Open title and she’s a really terrific person. So world, even?
