*foreign and domestic terrorist threats
*crimes like fraud, corruption, trafficking, and violent crimes (among others)

Do you feel safer?

JD Vance is too smart to be this dumb. Bootllicking at its finest.

Kelly: "I had another situation here with a kid who was on his little league trip in a baseball tournament. Border Patrol pulls over the vehicle, identifies the brown kid, he winds up in lockup for a week...this isn't what the American people wanted and I don't think it's consistent with our values"

Judge Henderson, joined by Judge Wilkins, does not mince words — even as she treads carefully.

“[N]o Congress should be made to wait while the Executive intrudes on its plenary power over appropriations and disclosure thereof.”

‘Defend your culture.’

ICE sure sounds like it’s borrowing from Replacement Theory as a recruitment tool. Who exactly are they hoping will apply — white nationalists?

The order was based in part on the finding that O’Rourke’s PAC committed bribery or caused legislators to commit bribery.

It’s a completely outrageous finding. Paxton’s allegations don’t even come close to supporting a bribery charge.

It is no coincidence females have been removed from senior roles. SECDEF’s bias is not only a dereliction of duty, it’s an ugly stain on the historical timeline of our greatly diverse Armed Forces.

Happy b’day, “Gangsta’s Paradise”, released 30 years ago this wk.

Coolio was walking by a recording studio door, heard the track & asked producer Doug Rasheed, “Wow, that’s kind of dope. Whose track is this?"

“He told me it was just something he was working on, so I said, ‘Really? It’s mine now.’

This is a betrayal—not just of journalistic independence, but of the public trust. 🧵

The Secretary of Defense is out here promoting Christian nationalism.

Imagine being a Jewish or Muslim servicemember right now.

In any other Administration this would be a fireable offense. In this one, it’s applauded.
