I worked for Justice Alito. What I saw up close shatters the media smear As a clerk on the Supreme Court, I experienced myriad examples of Justice Alito’s decent character By Ben Aguiñaga Fox News

They're calling it the most embarrassing op-ed of all time: The Louisiana SG, who has multiple cases pending before the Supreme Court right now, writing an essay about how his old boss, Justice Samuel Alito, is the nicest, smartest, bestest justice who ever lived www.foxnews.com/opinion/i-wo...

Four Haitian women found decapitated after alleged ICE abduction — families devastated Four Haitian women deported from Puerto Rico were found decapitated near the Dominican border, sparking speculations that ICE is working with cartels and gang members.

The US is deporting people back to certain death. There is blood on the hands of ICE.

When a sitting representative refers to the Super Bowl halftime show as “pornography,” people should use that to reflect on how they and other representatives are simultaneously working to ban, censor, and restrict “pornography” and what that actually means

i'm a fan of the rhetorical one-two of "we're coming after you in this life and in the next"

Democratic elected officials mostly suck because they represent the views of their constituents, who also suck, thank you for coming to my TED talk.

When a reporter asked the govt about promoting "Grok" they changed it from "Grok" to AI, but its still Grok.

Just would like to get it on record that it is justified to defend yourself from kidnapping by a bunch of masked goons.

We've paid good money in recent years to take our kids to a taiko drum performance and a ukulele band concert, and there weren't even sporting events attached to those.

I think MAGA folks legitimately don't understand that we *enjoy* multiculturalism. It's not something we do to act superior.

"It's not accurate to say that Puerto Rico has no value to us. It actually has negative value. We support it with our tax dollars. It does basically nothing for us in return. A total parasitic relationship."

The US extracted the wealth from Puerto Rico through sugar/tobacco plantations for decades while paying farm laborers almost nothing. The Jones act has taxed Puerto Ricans to prop up a US shipping cartel for a century. The only parasites are the wealthy Americans extracting wealth from the island.

This is starting to get like universal basic income where every single objective study shows the same result but the people who don't like that result go "uh, well there's just really no way to know"

I don't care how many have cameras. I'm concerned that 13,000 ICE agents have jobs.

McIVER: Do you consider yourself a religious man?

LYONS: Yes mam

McIVER: How do you think judgment day will work for you with so much blood on your hands?

LYONS: I'm not going to entertain that question


McIVER: Do you think you're going to hell, Mr Lyons?

"do you need me to repeat it like I'm asking a four-year-old? Because I will"

"There were no attacks on members of the KKK, it was a boycott of them in public life. That’s what we’re trying to do here, to allow the public to know which of their neighbours are involved in this.”

“ICE aren’t actually fearful of their safety. What they’re fearful of is not being invited to baseball games or not being invited to the pub with their friends. Community exclusion – that’s what they’re fearful of.”
– ICE List Founder

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

do they not have a AV club in congress?

always stupefies me that they let people get away with these obvious lies, this is literally the most predictable response

After the answer, play it again on a loop. Make it the background music for the rest of his testimony.

Well then play it. Play it again and again until there’s an answer. Make them answer for sending Nazi death troops to wage a war of terror against the U.S. civilian population.

McIver: Do you consider yourself a religious man?

Lyons: Yes

McIver: How do you think judgment day will work for you with so much blood on your hands? Do you think you’re going to hell?

This is true, and even if we get rid of Trump, we still have to reckon with the fact that a substantial proportion of US economic and political elites were *eager* to jump on the fascism train. They will still be the same people when Trump is gone.

just a fucking weird statement on it's face but also highlights how filthy rich and completely out of touch trump's whole cabinet is. a private boat for a family vacation? stopping by a billionaire's island for lunch? nannies, plural?? the epstein class, indeed.

I mean, if Musk announced his plan to begin ranching frogs since the average frog weighs 50% more than a cow, you'd think that someone at the FT might pause before putting "frogs, which on average weigh 50% more than cows" in a news story.

The tech billionaire, who aims to launch an initial public offering for the newly combined company this year, argues that vast fleets of satellites powered by solar energy and cooled by the vacuum of space will become the cheapest way to generate AI computing power. Musk believes this will happen within the next three years.

This would have been a good point for someone to have asked, is that really how things work? Or is vacuum in fact an excellent insulator? www.ft.com/content/a5cf...

(the reason ICE wants to wear masks is that they actually know how unpopular this is and don't want to be identified as the people doing it)

Everything I know about stoats, I learned from Redwall. So yes, these stoats could take out the majority of previous Olympic mascots.

Okay I get the point he's making but I don't think we can assume that either

Counted the kids but not the nannies. Got it.

VAN HOLLEN: You mentioned you were accompanied by nannies when you went to Epstein island. Do you know whether the nanny you had on that trip was the same nanny that Epstein expressed interest in meeting?

LUTNICK: I have no idea about that whole thing
