The Dude

There’s just not enough attention being paid to how unqualified, psychologically unfit, and dangerous so many of these new ICE hires potentially are.

If we had a Congress, there’d be investigations & oversight into this.

It really is staggering to see so many people willing to abandon our 249 year experiment in democracy for an increasingly unstable criminally convicted reality show charlatan.

Sounds like Republicans ought to get all the Republicans who form the Republican majorities in the Republican-led House and the Republican-led Senate together to pass the budget that Republicans wrote with the Republican White House and that Republicans now insist absolutely must be passed.

‘There could very well be consequences’: Trump’s team pressures wary GOP lawmakers to draw new maps The new pressure campaign from Trump and outside groups shows the party’s desperation to cling to its razor-thin majority next year.

NEW: Reporting from @politico.com reveals that the White House is ramping up its pressure campaign to gerrymander red states, going as far as promising “consequences” to Republican lawmakers who don’t fall in line.

I keep seeing people dooming with "they're not acting like people who ever think they'll be out of power" and I keep thinking maybe, but they're also acting like they're terrified of what will happen to them when they do lose power.

Nobody cares and nothing will happen but this is classically, paradigmatically fascist language. Comparing opponents to vermin and pests is straight out of the textbook.

It’s of note that during tonight’s hearing the DoJ didn’t even try to make the case that changing conditions on the ground in Portland warranted the CA National Guard. Instead they relied on legal technicalities. Proving again that what they say in court is different than lies they tell the public.

Governor Whitmer was almost kidnapped by armed thugs. Governor Shapiro‘s house was set on fire. Nancy Pelosi‘s husband was violently attacked by someone looking for her. Melissa Hortman was assassinated in her home with her husband and dog…and now this. The left is the victim, not the perpetrator.

I understand this. Please tell me you do, too.

Again, if you think the creation of the Department of Defense in 1947 had anything to do with “woke” politics you should not be allowed to operate a car much less the entire American military.

Despicable. Gavin - Sue the Bastards.

It almost ceases to be ideological, I think anti-moron could be a lane for a political party.

I can’t not believe how hard it is to sleep when you’re watching your country, be dismantled by the dumbest people.

This is why they have to show ID and their faces. It’s disgusting and illegal and extraordinarily dangerous that they don’t do that.

Bari Weiss, the Pete Hegseth of Michael Scotts.

You've heard of "catch and kill," now get ready for "buried by Bari"

CBS News staffers are ‘literally freaking out’ about Bari Weiss taking over newsroom EXCLUSIVE: ‘People are using words like depressing and doomsday – feels like some sort of doomsday,’ one source told The Independent about the mood inside CBS News right now.

“'The fact that we don't have money to pay journalists, but we have money to pay Bari Weiss between $100 and 200 million is indicative of what the Ellisons' true goal here is,' a network correspondent said. 'And it's not journalism.'"

Trump is running everything into the ground while grifting billions for himself and his family.

Don’t believe anyone who tells you that intelligence shows anything “without a doubt,” but even if the intelligence was water-tight, this strike was still murder. No law permits the deliberate, premeditated killing of civilians.

MAGA’s “Voter Fraud” Watchdog Votes in a Swing State. He Doesn’t Live There. A long paper trail shows that Jack Posobiec casts a ballot in one state and lives in another.

Just unbelievable stuff coming from independent journalists these days. Jack Posobiec, Roger Stone protege, was one of the biggest spreaders of Russian disinfo in 2016. Then Pizzagate, Macron leaks, election-fraud narratives in 2020. And it took til now to show he was voting fraudulently himself? 1/
