DOJ as we have known it, as a place where prosecutors from the AG on down do the right thing, for the right reason, in the right way, is over.

This FBI isn't there to protect the country, they're there to protect Donald Trump and advance his racist agenda.

Chief of Nashville, criminal division resigns over decision to charge Abrego Garcia. That’s a big story and the details will likely be very damning for the administration.

UNCLE! I give up on DIY dating. I give up. I am ready for the matchmakers and the aunties. I accept your wisdom and ministrations.

ABC is reporting that Kilmar Abrego Garcia "is on his way back to the United States where he will face criminal charges for allegedly transporting undocumented migrants within the U.S., according to sources familiar with the matter." At least now he may have a shot at due process.

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles. Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

This isn't a stalled gender revolution. It's a gender counter-revolution. And the most troubling part is that it's younger men and boys the leading charge. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/04/o...

We don’t need to back off the American Gestapo and we don’t need to respect its agents. People exercising state violence are not entitled to anonymity. Nor are the people directing the state violence.

If a Democratic president cut off one of the red states dependent on federal funding, it would be a political scandal. But cutting off California -- the single biggest "donor state" in the nation, one that sends in to the fed'l gov't ~$80 billion more than it gets back -- is straight-up theft.

Some of y’all can’t handle 2 high agency males going at it and it really shows.

This seems like a great day to remind Bluesky that Stephen Miller lived four doors down from me freshman year And our student council person asked him (and everyone) to sign a birthday card for our dorm’s janitor And he threw a tantrum and wrote an op-ed about not socializing with “the help.”

once again I must tap my own sign

NEW: The Trump administration has terminated a counterterrorism program intended to keep flights safe from potential terrorists who get through TSA's security screening.

ICE mistakenly detained a U.S. Marshal in Tucson. "A Deputy US Marshal who fit the general description of a subject being sought by ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) was briefly detained at a federal building in Tucson after entering the lobby of the building”.

Senate GOP are lying. Full stop. Not “misinformation”. Not “misleading”. It is a lie. Knowing, intentional, from Senators who are aware of the law. Undocumented *do not* receive benefits. At all. Of any kind. State or Fed. No Medicare. No Medicaid. No disability. No SS. No food assistance. Nada.

MMMMmmm oh god oh yeah that’s the good stuff like that

if the wheels had come off this thing any faster it'd be a Cybertruck

I know this is slightly petty, but... Predictable

I cannot stop wheezing

This is a good possibility. Trump beating Elon and then publicly diminishing him in his presence will only make Trump feel more powerful. It has happened over and over again.

Post of the day.

This what happens when the propagandists have to react as if they are actually in the news business.

I thought we had reached the zenith of this story but no, we're still at base camp, the summit is still so far away www.mediaite.com/media/tv/fox...

Stephen Miller canceled on Kudlow last minute for an “emergency meeting” in the oval office Wonder what they could be discussing! 🤷🏻‍♂️

Lol how is this real life.

Breaking news: Reagan National Airport is expected to close for up to several hours on June 14 to accommodate military flyovers, parachute jumps and fireworks on the National Mall that are part of the U.S. Army’s 250th birthday celebration.

With Elon Musk and President Trump locked in an increasingly bitter and public feud, Christian nationalist Sean Feucht issues an urgent call to "pray for God to intervene" and "bring divine restoration" to their relationship.

hahahahahahahahahahhahahahahaha (breath) hahahahahahaha

Trump and Elon are now trying to push each other off the playground mountain. Entertaining and embarrassing

Elon calls for Trump’s impeachment.

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

Damn straight. I just bought myself a donut.

The public breakup has begun. I have to admit, it happened a bit sooner than I thought it would.

1/4 The Trump regime’s devastating toll on immigrant children continues. Hundreds—many already living with family—have been torn from their homes and placed in government custody. Children are separated from caregivers, left in detention for months, & robbed of stability. tinyurl.com/Undoc-children

When you hang around a lot of south will rise again types it’s hard to believe a country can move on.

Q: "Have you uncovered any evidence that anything specific was signed without President Biden's knowledge?" Trump: "I don't think Biden would know whether or not he signed it." Q: "Have you uncovered anything?" Trump: "No, but I've uncovered the human mind."

In a new declaration in the DVD case, an ICE official describes how ICE officers and detainees face medical and security threats in South Sudan—the place where ***the government’s own lawyers proposed keeping the migrants in order to conduct reasonable fear interviews pursuant to a court order***

Hi! I specialize in medication toxicity. All available, real-world data has proven mifepristone is actually even safer than many over the counter medicines. Mortality rates: Mifepristone: 0.65/100,000 Penicillin 2/100K Viagra 4/100K Pregnancy in the US: 22/100,000 (some states see rates >60/100K)

Our Tracking Report is featured in an article by #BrownUniversity. #Measles is surging. #Flu is killing more kids than it has in 15 yrs. #Pertussis is nearly 2X as common. “...We created what we needed. As it turns out, lots of other people needed it too” – @jennifernuzzo.bsky.social Read here 👇

Since day 1, Pam Bondi has treated DOJ like a political weapon That’s why we @democracydefendersfund.org & a coalition of legal experts have filed a complaint with the FL Bar The nation’s top lawyer must be held to the highest standards—no Trumpery allowed!

Evildoers of the world! See the face of America's mighty counterterrorism program and cower in fear! This bro means business!

I can't stress enough how wrong and disingenuous the most recent wave of COVID revisionism is. The *only period* when Democratic counties had higher death rates was April-May 2020. From June 2020 onwards, Republican laxity and denialism were the most powerful force driving deaths.
