We live in a rogue and dangerous country. Do what you need to do to maintain your internal peace. Hold the core of your spirit. Pray for peace. Commit yourself to justice. And just rest.

Trump’s attacks on Iran were based on vibes, not new intel, two administration officials tell Rolling Stone. “There is no intel,” one of the sources says. “The intelligence assessments have not really changed”

After months, I remain unconvinced by this theory. That DHS is acting extremely unprofessionally is not evidence of secret J6ers. Rather, I believe it reflects longstanding culture problems within ICE, a chaotic multi-agency approach to raids, the corroding effects of quotas, and Miller’s extremism.

EXCLUSIVE — The Onion has a full-page ad in today’s NYT featuring part of an editorial calling out congressional fecklessness towards Trump. They also sent a copy of their latest issue to every lawmaker. My report, with an excerpt from the full editorial: www.thehandbasket.co/p/exclusive-...

Throw these two creeps down the same fucking well istg

Straightforward from here: Bill Clinton Andrew Cuomo 🤝 sex predators

Watching so many Democrats wave away sexual harassment allegations against Cuomo—after spending years watching Republicans wave away rape and sexual assault allegations against Trump—is depressing. Saying that serious allegations of sexual abuse don't matter is morally repugnant.

Just a reminder going forward... (cartoon from 2003)

Pretty amazing that a former president will sit quietly as one of his successors orders US troops into American cities and ships innocent people off to concentration camps—but feels compelled to speak up when a fellow HR nightmare is at risk of losing to another member of the same party.

Lmfao

You can self identify as ICE but not as a woman.

The entire establishment from both sides is aiming all of its money and firepower against Zohran Mamdani. Very telling. This is what they're threatened by and who they are willing to crush.

If you are a Democrat who endorses war with Iran, you will be primaried.

The sexual predators have unionized

The logic is pretty obvious here. Presidents can’t declare war so anything the president does without Congress can’t be a war. It’s not an assessment of what’s happening; it’s an excuse.

Oh, Bill Clinton endorsed Cuomo? When does he get Harvey Weinstein's endorsement? Can Bill Cosby be reached for comment?

they’re assembling the pervert megazord

Last night, Trump said Iran’s nuclear program was “completely and totally obliterated.” This morning, JD Vance says we will “permanently dismantle that nuclear program over the coming years.” Which is it? Sounds like more endless war against the will of the American people.

So he's a rogue agent of war?

And what are your instincts regarding couches?

Impeach him.

Stop saying “we” bombed Iran. The United States did not bomb Iran. donald j trump bombed Iran. Use your words wisely.

This was inevitable. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/04/u...

If true, certainly undercuts any claim that the attack was lawful self defense.

The thing about Trump's foreign policy you need to understand is that he puts absolutely no thought into it, like at all.

Chuck Schumer might as well hang out with Fetterman and Susan Collins.

You will ask yourself—does anything matter? You will wonder if the protests mean anything, if resistance means anything. It does. They do. I know how it feels, but don’t give up. It took a decade to oust Nazis. Many, many decades to end slavery. Resistance is long and difficult. But it is the way.

✋ Former US government War Power lawyer here. The War Powers Resolution does not/not provide any additional authority to use military force. The Article II arguments for using force against Iran are entirely bogus. As are any claims that either the 2001 or 2002 AUMFs authorize this attack.

Anyway posting this again.

👇🎯 Of course. But, as with all the other things, Trump can do whatever he wants as long as Article I of the constitution is totally non-operative. The institutions are not self-enforcing. He can act as a Mad King as long as we don’t have a functioning legislative branch. It’s a Reverse Enabling Act.

Good message from @duckworth.senate.gov. Leading with illegal and unjustified.

US military now briefing troops that its strike on Iran "will likely result in counterstrikes on US bases and facilities" in the Middle East, and "likely activate Iran and other foreign terrorist organizations cells abroad including the US to conduct strikes against US persons and facilities"

Question 3 seems particularly pertinent.

Impeach.

So do the Marines leave LA now?

impeach

Impeach him now. @cantwell.senate.gov @murray.senate.gov @repdelbene.bsky.social @jayapal.house.gov

TONIGHT

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

Bret Baier just happened to be dressed and in studio when Trump announced that we were bombing Iran.

In a just world there’d exist an agency that snatches Trump voters off the street to force them to work the jobs they claimed were stolen from them. Alas, it’s not a just world, so we’ll simply end up with food shortages.

Here's an idea. Dem Governors & Mayors should be ordering their local law enforcement to arrest any & all unidentified and masked alleged ICE agents. If a random guy in a mask grabbed someone and threw them in a vehicle, we'd call that a kidnapping. Why not here? 1/2

We need to Identify ICE. We dont want secret police! Nothing about that keeps America safe. @cantwell.senate.gov @murray.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov @reptedlieu.bsky.social @aoc.bsky.social

Bell, CA 6/20: Multiple unmarked ICE vehicles try to drive away with flat tires after unidentified masked agents caused a a traffic accident and started rioting. 📸 tiktok: roniayala13

Timothy Snyder said recently that the resistance to fascism is sometimes highly organized, as with #NoKings, and sometimes develops spontaneously. This is the latter. L.A. resisters are finding hotels ICE agents stay in & making sure they DON’T get a good night’s sleep. apple.news/AHAGjsRINRmq...
