Ohio BMV data given to DHS includes photos, address and probably cell phones which then could be fed into Mobile Fortify and ELITE to track down asylum seekers with pending applications.

Each Epstein email has so many layers of slime people miss some. This email is Ken Starr, fired for covering up sexual assault, offering to help his former client Jeffrey Epstein's friend's sexual harassment charges by introducing him to Jed Rubenfeld, later put on leave for sexual misconduct. 1/

You can’t debate MAGA because debate requires a shared reality.
When evidence is “biased,” sources are “fake,” video is “out of context,” and context is “cherry-picked,” facts stop existing.
That’s not skepticism. It’s mythology defense.

MAGA's twisted disregard for honesty.

Canadian PM Carney: Canada and the United States have built a remarkable partnership in the economy, in security, and in rich cultural exchange. But Canada doesn’t live because of the United States. Canada thrives because we are Canadian.

Carney:

"In a time of rising populism and ethnic nationalism, Canada can show how diversity is a strength, not a weakness... Canada can't solve all the world's problems. But we can show that another way is possible. That the arc of history isn't destined to be warped toward authoritarianism".

COLLINS: Did it stand out to you that he said Iceland multiple times when he was talking about Greenland?


NEWSOM: And that every time a windmill turns it costs $1,000. A lot of stuff stands out. None of this is normal. There's a deviancy of consciousness. He's graded off the curve.

Trump: "Canada gets a lot of freebies from us. They should be grateful, also, but they're not. I watched your prime minister yesterday, he wasn't so grateful. But they should be grateful to us. Canada lives because of the United States — remember that, Mark."

This is the best speech, just from a pure rhetoric perspective - its sophistication and persuasiveness - that I've seen a politician deliver in a good long while. Really recommend watching or reading the whole thing.

Trump posts an image depicting Canada and Greenland as part of the United States

This stopped being funny a long time ago.

The only people this helps want to see us fall.

Good for her, brave woman. Despite her words those agents are unaffected. They think it’s funny and one attempts to intimidate her by moving too close. Despicable humans.

Trump again attacks Renee Good but he calls Ashli Babbitt a victim and Michael Byrd a murderer.

Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.

Graphic with a blue background and large white text reading “DEAR AMERICAN FRIENDS.” Below is a screenshot of a post explaining that Canada does not have CBS, that a “60 Minutes” episode aired normally in Canada, and stating that Canadian networks are not subject to U.S. government interference. The post ends with “We’re not under a dictatorship. You are.”

This message hits hard.

I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends.

It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

One way to think of the Trump Admin is as having SHIFTED the $$ we used to spend on curing cancer (and providing care to Veterans and protecting nature and etc) to snatching brown people off the streets.

Jared Kushner, the President’s Son-in-Law, Is Part of Paramount’s Bid for Warner Bros. Discovery

The corruption is endless. But worse, this is the authoritarian playbook: Erdogan handed media to loyalists & family, Putin handed it to his Oligarchs, Orbán took it for his party & donors, Marcos seized it for his family. Every regime centralizes media and hands it to cronies & family.

Trumpian Corruption Is Worse Than Ukrainian Corruption The people of Ukraine want an honest government, even as American and Russian kleptocrats circle their country.

The baroque corruption schemes playing out in America and Russia completely outclass the kickback scandal in Ukraine.
