If true, this is despicable. The sad thing is that Russians will never see this....

Boelter was caught near his own home, which makes me doubt he had accomplices. If he had help, he would have had a better getaway plan.

Nailed it. 🎯🎯🎯

Oh he’s getting ready to TACO

It’s Clearer Than Ever That Jan. 6 Wasn’t The End But The Beginning talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

I cry when I see how far behind Europe we are on this. (Part of the reason why Tubby wants to seal us off from the rest of the world.)

While everyone is making fun of Elon’s rocket going kablooey again, this is to let you know that Tesla has a tent set up at the San Diego County Fair where you can test drive a Cybertruck over a pile of dirt to see how awesome it is. The fair just started and no Cybertrucks have blown up. Yet.

Yesterday, one of the full time whiners complained Dems weren't doing enough to punish Mike Lee for his disgusting attacks in wake of the Melissa Hortman assassination. This post makes it clear that 1) that happened and 2) such pressure is BETTER done locally. www.thebulwark.com/p/is-mike-le...

ICE deports Florida pastor's wife even though judge issued stay of deportation order. She was denied her medication—shackled by wrist, stomach & ankles, leaving severe bruising. Daughters: "We paid everything they asked us, filled out forms, and not skipping anything.”

Gov Gavin Newsom’s TikTok page is 🔥

my favorite ben domenech fact is that after being fired for plagiarizing pj o'rourke he was then fired again a few years later for taking payola from the malaysian government.

Parnas: He sends the Marines into American cities not to protect us, folks, but to silence us. He ignores court orders like they’re optional. He surrounds himself with loyalists who exist solely to carry out his will. This is a leadership style that’s called authoritarianism.

Genuine Question because I Do not understand… so if these men roll up in plain clothes and masks, grab a human being… even a child, and throw them in an unmarked vehicle I am just supposed to look the other way and say nothing ?? Ask Nothing ?

For generations, if you came on a visa and applied for asylum, you would generally not be arrested even if your visa expired during the process. That’s over now. They’re arresting everyone, even people who have done legitimately nothing wrong. What a terrible, awful, inhumane, cruel policy.

This is disgraceful.

American corporations make our country look like a bunch of bigots & cowards. 🤬 www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2025...

TRUMP IS IN COMPETITION WITH HIMSELF. Is he the most fascistic president or just the most incompetent president? Well, he could be both.

Popularists gonna really lean into this right?

I'm a human rights lawyer. I have represented immigrants & asylum seekers my entire career. As you see ICE increase its attacks on immigrants, here are steps you as a US citizen can take to be an ally & protect immigrants from ICE and CBP absue.

the lesson of this isn't that tucker carlson is actually good but that you should ask these people basic factual questions instead of bullshit about politics

I will never tire of this scene

Crazy this has to be said but bare minimum I think law enforcement of any kind gotta have a uniform and badge Even somebody who puts tickets on cars has a hat and a vest Eventually a bunch of dudes who just look like dudes are gonna grab someone who’s armed and all our lives will get a lot worse

Isn't this the sort of waste and abuse that DOGE was supposed to eliminate?

The moment when the Russian drone directly hit a residential building in Kyiv appeared online. Russians continue to fight against civilians.

Absolutely vicious, I barely survived

🤬🤬🤬....Exposure to it killed my Dad.

""They shoot anyone who comes near the food." My contact in Gaza said this to me today, as to why he is no longer going to risk his life to receive aid. "I wanted food and I got nothing just bombing and destruction." Now he has to pay even more than he once did to buy food elsewhere.

Eastman and Down

An Afghan man who worked as a translator for the U.S. military during the war was detained by ICE after showing up for a hearing inside of a federal courthouse in San Diego, his attorney says. He fears that if he returns to Afghanistan, he would be tortured or even killed, @nbcsandiego.com reports.

No surprise that courts have ruled in favor law firms that challenged Trump’s EOs. “(L)awyers’ independence to represent all sorts of clients is essential to preserving the rule of law and fairness in the courtroom.” www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

If Biden said this, there’d be multiple book deals commissioned about how old and out of touch he is

Remembering Katharine Graham on her birthday 🎂 📷 Richard Avedon, March 11, 1976 "Bromidic though it may sound, some questions don't have answers, which is a terribly difficult lesson to learn."

So as the backlash to Trump's mass deportation grows, he appears to be de-prioritizing red states and red areas. It's to spare his own supporters pain and put as much as he can on Dems. TX, FL have very large undocumented populations, far great greater than NY, IL. FL will be #1 soon.

What we learned yesterday. The Times They Are a-Changin'

how is every new video I see of this parade more embarrassing than the last

When NO KINGS reigns over your parade. #SAD 🤣

I love seeing the massive #NoKings turnouts in major cities, but what I love even more are the hundreds and hundreds of small, rural towns that had relatively bigger turnouts compared to their populations 💙🙏

...the overriding message from “No Kings” was one of courage. The organizers were never looking for unrest but simply for big numbers, to show not just other Americans but an increasingly anxious world that Trump and ICE are not acting in their name.

Bravo this sign.

Sen. Alex Padilla has led a letter — signed by every Senate Democrat — demanding Trump "immediately withdraw all military personnel that have been deployed to Los Angeles." "Respect for our constitution and for our civilian law enforcement demands nothing less." tinyurl.com/3f4kcvfx

Swab it for Miller’s DNA.

It really is this simple.
