ICE agent carrying away a yard sign that says “ICE kidnapping happened here”

An ICE agent was caught removing a sign marking an ICE kidnapping in DC last week! Do we think he did it out of anger, embarrassment, or most appropriately shame? If you think what you’re doing is right, why are you trying to hide the evidence? 👀

Department of War 🇺🇸 on X: "OFFICIAL STATEMENT: The Department of War has received serious allegations of misconduct against Captain Mark Kelly, USN (Ret.). In accordance with the Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 U.S.C. § 688, and other applicable regulations, a thorough review of these allegations" / X OFFICIAL STATEMENT: The Department of War has received serious allegations of misconduct against Captain Mark Kelly, USN (Ret.). In accordance with the Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 U.S.C. § 688, and other applicable regulations, a thorough review of these allegations

Defense Dept has renamed its X account as "DeptofWar" and is going after Mark Kelly for his political speech. It's pathetic as it is a distraction from the kinds of defense efforts our government should be focused on, like foreign manipulation & real national security issues: x.com/DeptofWar/st...

"We're signing a health care plan within two weeks. A full and complete health care plan, that the Supreme Court decision on DACA gave me the right to do" -- Trump routinely cites a two week timeframe for new policy initiatives when he's just making stuff up

Why Republicans Are Fighting About the Nazis

“You can’t have a political party that hates everyone except white people who like Hitler and think you’re going to win elections.”

Ukraine says it's investigating over 178,000 war crimes amid Trump peace plan talks U.S. and Ukrainian officials are discussing Trump's peace proposal that includes accepting amnesty for Russians accused of war crimes.

The number of war crime investigations open in Ukraine at the beginning of the fall was 178,391, Kyiv's top prosecutor told CBS' "60 Minutes" in a program airing this evening.

The 20 biggest political donors on the Forbes billionaires list have collectively given nearly $5 billion between 2015 and 2024.

We must get Big Money out of politics.

No one from either party should be able to buy an election.

New Yorkers are tired of being asked to believe in a system that has delivered little for them. They want a politics that can see the scale of the crisis, and actually start to tackle it.

WTAF? With no medical training, license or medical history? That could kill me in under a minute. States & congress need to stop this.

Yes, ma'am.

Wait - aren’t you now cheering for the innocent children of those posters to starve?

Mindblowing that all the politicians and US news outlets are on X.

Americans...gullible AF or lazy...pick one, or both!

Who was “cheering?”

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”

Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

Hey Red States - give us our fucking money back.

Sincerely,
Blue States

A *reimagining for @kristenwelker.bsky.social

WELKER: Are you confident that every order President Trump gives is lawful?

BESSENT: What I am confident of is that this was a display of gross, gross negligence here

*WELKER: I'LL TAKE THAT AS A "DEFINITELY NOT."

The GOP is so disgusting that the only reason they'd even consider halting this TERRIBLE, AMORAL, IMMORAL shit is that it's not worth it 'cuz bad politics. Fundamentally broken humans.

Dude, a lot of the courts HAVE stopped him. This guy deserves every bad thing, too. Among the gaslight-iest. Fuck Bessent.

"Doctor" Bill Cassidy is obliterating his legacy. His grandkids and THEIR grandkids will see this and know their grandfather and great-great grandfather took the path of SHIT resistance. What a tragedy, what a coward. GUTLESS. Nice MD you got there, wouldn't want anything to happen to it.

Sen. Bill Cassidy, a physician who was the key vote to confirm RFK Jr., should go on TV to announce his resignation, not to serve as a smokescreen for RFK Jr.'s assault on the nation's health.

@kristenwelker.bsky.social, please please PLEASE do better than this. Jesus CHRIST. So weak.

I honestly don't get how these shameless Republicans have gotten away with offering up these bullshit excuses across DECADES of disingenuous interviews like this. This kind of answer should be a career killer. What does Cassidy think his grandkids and their grandkids will think when they watch?

TAPPER: You were the deciding vote that allowed RFK Jr to ascend to the role of Health Secretary. Did you give him too much credit?


CASSIDY: The fact is the scientific community agrees that vaccines are safe. That's all I can say.
