Trump visits Justice Department for speech that breaks all norms Donald Trump railed against the federal prosecutions he once faced during a rare presidential visit to the Justice Department.

The top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, Rep. Jamie Raskin, rightly blasted Trump’s speech as a “grim landmark in the spreading authoritarianism of this administration.”

NOW:
They waited until late to drop this little nugget.
Look what they're downsizing now:

The media can (and should) reject the Right's deceptive frame. This is not about "references to diversity, equity, and inclusion."

It is a neosegregationist attempt to erase everyone but white males from the nation's history.

This is just fucking disgusting on every level.

They are literally erasing our history.

Women, Trans, AA, Latinos, and gay people.

This makes me physically ill

This is their goal. Everything else is bullshit.

“.. As a reminder, energy and critical minerals sold by Canada to the US are byproducts of explicit US efforts to reduce reliance on the Middle East and China. The notion that bilateral energy deficits with Canada are ‘subsidies’ is economically, politically and geologically illiterate.”

Good

Donold is now classifying protests at Tesla dealerships as ‘domestic terrorism.’

Protest at a Tesla dealership and you get arrested as a terrorist.

But attack the Capitol and you get a pardon.

The thought that people who are themselves successful might want better for others just doesn't compute with empathy-bypass patients.

They'll act like there's something wrong with you, so nobody mentions that there's something wrong with them.

BREAKING: Veterans will be marching on Washington DC and all 50 state capitals this weekend to protest the Trump Administration. This is incredible.

the leap from disappearing the undocumented to disappearing visa holders to disappearing green card holders to disappearing naturalized citizens to disappearing natural born citizens is no leap at all, but a series of tiny steps

block the path

Every single Democratic Senator voted for Marco Rubio as Sec of State!

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

DHS has begun performing polygraph tests on employees to find leakers DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and border czar Tom Homan have blamed lower-than-expected ICE arrest numbers on recent leaks about planned operations.

They want federal employees to suffer psychological abuse and not speak to press about it. It’s not difficult to imagine them coming after members of the media next. Scary shit, but silence is not an option.

Losing your job and watching your life savings disappear just means that the toxins are leaving your body

I Know Exactly What They Are Doing Rural foresight

They have installed the wealthiest man in the world to dismantle the country for himself and his fellow oligarchs. They plan to burn the country down to pay rock-bottom prices for the ashes.

A fire sale.

The War Trump Chooses That wasn't Trump against Zelens'kyi. It was Americans against reason

The attempted mugging of a visiting president was about the world war that Musk, Trump, and Vance have chosen. If we attend to what Vance and Trump said yesterday, we can work our way to the unreason of American policy, and to the chaos that will follow.

Norwegian fuel supplier refuses U.S. warships over Ukraine Haltbakk Bunkers will cease supplying fuel to U.S. forces in Norway and American ships docking in Norwegian ports, citing dissatisfaction with recent U.S. policy towards Ukraine.

A major Norwegian fuel company is refusing to provide fuel to U.S. warships after the “shitshow” in the White House yesterday over Ukraine. This is the way. ukdefencejournal.org.uk/norwegian-fu...

America is fighting fascism by showing the rest of the world how fucking stupid fascism looks

“A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.”

Zelenskyy thanking all of the world leaders who support for Ukraine is an epic troll on JD Vance and Donald Trump.
