thinking about how Savannah Guthrie had to cancel her trip to work the Olympics because of her mom’s kidnapping but the guy who heads up the investigative body handling the case was posting pictures of himself in the US hockey locker room today lol

A war foretold: how the CIA and MI6 got hold of Putin’s Ukraine plans and why nobody believed them Drawing on more than 100 interviews with senior intelligence officials and other insiders in multiple countries, this exclusive account details how the US and Britain uncovered Vladimir Putin’s plans ...

That's what Putin said before he attacked Ukraine. Most of Europe, including Ukraine, saw the buildup and assumed Putin was only doing it for leverage (www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...). I'm not making those assumptions after his war in Venezuela and the last attack on Iran.

I know I’m fixating, but “shooting down party balloons and using it as a pretext for war” is literally the “99 Luftballons” story arc. 🎈🤯 (Even “Miami 2017” didn’t map this closely.)

I'm guessing 3. Pre-positioning troops for an incursion into Mexico to attack drug cartels. It's such a bad idea on top of being against international law.

A Federal Worker Developed A Brain Tumor. The Trump Admin's Next Move Was Unspeakably Cruel. Russell Vought is seizing every opportunity he can to dismantle a crucial watchdog agency.

A federal worker at the CFPB found out in December that she had a brain tumor that needed to be removed.

The next month, Russ Vought unilaterally ended her agency's short-term disability plan.

You mean the Trump Kennedy Center 😂

“bari weiss’s wife in the epstein files” is simply too perfect

It's not like "We'll have our home again" is some established popular saying like "Yippee-ki-yay, motherf***er!" or "I’m gonna make him an offer he can’t refuse.".

That's some lame, low energy spin from Tricia McLaughlin there.

Imagine the hypothetical if Biden had put up a post supporting workers and quoting The Internationale. Imagine Karine Jean-Pierre responding with "If it were the Marxist anthem it 'would be a problem' and 'morally repugnant'. But There are plenty of references to those words in books and poems."

Here's how to identify some crowd control munitions, canisters of which federal agents have left on the ground after deploying them against people in Minnesota. bit.ly/3YWp1jE

I had forgotten about this. How insane for Republicans to say now, the only reason you bring a gun to a protest is to commit terrorism.

I love how Trump is so senile he can't keep his lie about Ilhan Omar's wealth straight. According to snopes some businesses her husband partly owns are, on paper, worth between 6 and 30M. A few days ago Trump said she's worth 34 million and today it's 44. LOL 😂

They need to change the law to allow people to file Bivens actions against ICE.

I learned about Bivens from this: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...

Share this widely.

To that end, USCIS declared flatly that the children of immigrants who are "unlawfully present" will "no longer be U.S. citizens at birth." They will, instead, inherit the status of their parents, rendering them detainable and deportable as infants and throughout their lives. There is no indication that the government will provide some grace period before snatching up and imprisoning this new underclass of noncitizen babies; they are apparently subject to arrest from the moment of birth.

Reminder: If the Supreme Court upholds Trump’s attack on birthright citizenship, some of the ICE officers currently brutalizing Minnesotans may be reassigned to apprehend newborns from the hospital for immediate deportation. Just read the Trump administration’s own memo. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

I have no words for this:

“The goalkeeper told me I’m an illegal immigrant even though I was born in America, and he said Trump was gonna get me and send me back.”

How is destroying the spirit of our children making this country great?

Who will repair their trauma when this is over?

Sickening.

They don't make a battery? 🤔 Hmmm ... youtu.be/pFf277aU4VY?...

Good tzar, bad boyars!

Time for Europe to Use the Nuclear Option: Attack U.S. Patent and Copyright Monopolies Trump’s push to seize Greenland includes $75 billion in tariffs that hit U.S. consumers, while Europe could respond by targeting U.S. patents.

The Greenland nonsense should prompt Europe to use the nuclear option: they should threaten to stop honoring U.S. patents and copyrights. That would quickly educate Trump backers like Larry Ellison and Mark Zuckerberg cepr.net/publications...

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

WARMINGTON: Despite sad outcome, ICE not to blame in Minneapolis If you run your vehicle toward a cop who has his gun out of holster, you are going to get shot, as was the case in Minneapolis. More.

The incessant need to justify the regime's actions is so absolutely pathetic.

According to DHS' own guidelines, lethal force is prohibited against a moving vehicle unless strictly necessary.

It is not true that the cops are allowed to kill you if you don't stop.

Rep. Kelly announces plans to impeach Secretary Kristi Noem WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Rep. Robin Kelly (IL-02) announced plans to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem following the fatal shooting by an ICE officer in Minneapolis.

I refuse to stay silent while Secretary Noem breaks the rule of law and terrorizes our communities. I am introducing Articles of Impeachment against her for violating the public trust, obstructing Congress, and self-dealing. Read my full statement: robinkelly.house.gov/media-center...

Renee Nicole Good is the one whose reputation should be protected, whose death should be marked by flags across the country being lowered to half-staff, who should be getting tearful tributes and acknowledgments from politicians and media figures. These are the people we ought to honor.

Has anyone asked for Kristi Noem's resignation yet?

He also threatened Colombia. Ukraine is successfully fighting the Russian blockade by shipping their goods through Romania. Colombia could play a similar role. Maybe it would be smart if you didn't give Venezuela's neighbors reasons to undermine your stupid oil blockade.

You were saying?
