Immigrants. They get the job done.

"Arrived in France in 2003, the Sri Lankan chains odd jobs in the restaurant industry. In 2008, he entered the pastry and first learned to make macaroons, a demanding figure in French know-how."

If federal agents violate the law, they should be identified, investigated, and prosecuted.

Every DA in this country should be this clear.

No agency is above the law. Including ICE.

Expert Trump hired to prove voter fraud says every single claim was 'false' - NewsBreak President Donald Trump has called on the federal government to "nationalize the voting" across the United States, baselessly claiming that major cities in

Ken Block who was hired to find voter fraud after Trump’s 2020 election loss said all 20 claims were false.
There has never been any voter fraud found from Trump’s loss to Biden.
Trump lost over 60 court cases.
He is the real fraud.

Unbelievable

Republicans outright REJECTED ten requests by Democrats to reform ICE

Among the supposedly β€œunreasonable” demands?

Require judicial warrants

No Masks

Keep away from schools and churches

Stop Racial Profiling

Uphold Use of Force Standards

Safe detention facilities

Body Cameras

So Americans will die for war criminal Netanyahu and Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman, killer of Jamal Khashoggi

And Congress hasn’t even been called into session yet

Not that it matters, because if they vote against this Trump will probably ignore them and continue the attack against Iran anyway

No one seriously believes that we attacked Iran with Israel in order to liberate the Iranian people, do they?

ME: That might be a side effect or bonus, but that’s not why Trump did it IMO.

Trump’s war on Iran: grave dangers and, at best, limited benefits As with the 2003 Iraq war, the path to conflict with Iran has been paved with false statements. Pandora’s box is now open: The consequences of the US and Israeli attack on Iran will be lasting but are...

This is the second time that the Trump administration negotiated, agreed to another round of talks, and then attacked before that round could occur, conduct which comes close to meeting the international law crime of perfidy. That dynamic undermines any hope that US adversaries will believe

Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

Forget the fact that it’s bad for art, movies, and society: Paramount acquiring WB is bad for PARAMOUNT. Skydance simply does not have the liquid assets that Netflix does, and this is going to push WB into even more years of a cash-strapped parent company laboring under way too much debt to succeed.

Netflix ditches deal for Warner Bros. Discovery after Paramount’s offer is deemed superior Netflix is ditching a deal to buy Warner Bros. Discovery's studio and streaming assets after the WBD board deemed a revised bid by Paramount to be superior.

This really feels like an Orban/Erdogan situation in which the aspiring dictator is making sure his friendly oligarchs control as much media as possible

Found out this week that ALL Hawaii beaches are public. The Ellison essentially own a donut with the public beaches and a Hawaii state owned building in the middle. Still not great but it gives me a modicum of ease.

Netflix has dropped out of the Warner Bros. Discovery bidding, clearing the way for Trump-aligned David Ellison’s Paramount to move forward.

If the deal goes through, Ellison could take control of CNN, HBO, and much more, amid deep ties between the Ellisons and the Trump White House.

The Handbasket 100% independent journalism by Marisa Kabas

Now that CNN and WBD are set to become state media in a sale to Paramount/Oracle/TikTok, it is especially important to support independent media.

the consolidation of major media institutions by the president’s oligarch friends is obviously bad, but i do wonder about the ultimate impact. it is clear that trump and his allies believe that you can buy up media and pull an orban or a putin. but…

Any Democrat in a position of power should oppose this loudly and immediately. Make antitrust laws a campaign issue. Fight it every way imaginable. Do not hand over mass media to a creepy dad-son dyad who want to cozy up to an increasingly loathed president bent on maintaining power illegitimately.

The DOJ is flat out LYING when they claim compliance with the Epstein law.

Millions of files are being withheld under the assertion of privilege.

Take them to court immediately.

Get a judge to assign an independent special master.

Let the SM review the remaining files and determine compliance.

Kansas Secretly Spent Years Making a List of Trans Residents. Today, the State is Taking Their IDs. An investigation from Transitics has revealed that, under a Democratic governor, Kansas built a list of the state's trans people. Now, Republicans are weaponizing it to revoke their IDs.

They're making the lists.

JFC if it isn't clear enough, no one will protect you. Not Newsom. Not Mamdani. No one in the Democratic Party.

GTFO. While you still can.
