Is this why we went to war? Bigly mad at them?

The really sad thing, I can absolutely see him doing this.

It's the middle of the night in Chicago. Reporters and electeds are trying to figure out why a US citizen was detained by CBP, why her phone was inside an ICE detention center tonight, and where she is now.

Also unclear what happened to the other five people she was detained with at O'Hare airport.

No More Benefit Of The Doubt Last Sunday, we discussed a number of cases pending in front of federal district judges in Minneapolis.

Some judicial opinions have to be read in full, like the one I parse for you to night, from Judge Tunheim in Minneapolis.

Whether it was purposeful or not it was still a mistake.

A decade of war? A decade to build a new Government? A drcade to do what? A decade to fix this mistake you made in one week?

I lack the words to capture it, but ... it's just endlessly remarkable to me that so many people in our society have chosen trans kis -- TRANS KIDS, the smallest, least significant, most vulnerable demographic slice you could possibly pick -- as a repository for all their fears & insecurities.

No, There Was No ‘Imminent Threat’ From Iran Team Trump shows that words made to mean everything will cease to mean anything.

If "one day" and "eventually" are "imminent," then words have no meaning. At least not to this administration.

MARINE: “NO ONE WANTS TO DIE FOR ISRAEL”

U.S. Marine Brian McGinnis got dragged out of a senate hearing for standing up and saying what everyone is thinking.

He had a toothache. They ignored it. He died of spesis. Read that again.

Why do we need to fund this murderous agency?

Kateryna Lisunova @KaterynaLis 🚨“Cannon fire on sparrows” — that’s how my sources in the Ukrainian government described the current warfare in the Middle East. Basically, this is what Zelenskyy has been saying over the past few days (not counting the last four years): you cannot intercept Shahed drones with missiles. First, it’s too expensive; second, missile stock is limited; and third, they don’t always work against Shaheds. BREAKING: Trump administration officials acknowledged during a closed-door briefing on Tuesday that Iran’s Shahed attack drones represent a major challenge, and U.S. air defenses will not be able to intercept them all. The drones are posing a bigger problem than anticipated, according to sources from the briefing.

🤔👀

Republicans always think that the rules don't apply to them.
They lie, they cheat & they're corrupt AF!

It's outrageous that they would subpoena Secretary Hillary Clinton, who never even met Epstein, yet HOTUS along with POTUS were friends with #Epstein & have tons of pictures with him & Maxwell.

Pres Trump told me tonight the US had identified possible candidates to take over Iran, but they were killed in the initial attack. "The attack was so successful it knocked out most of the candidates," Trump told me. "It's not going to be anybody that we were thinking of because they are all dead. Second or third place is dead."

complete insanity

Nobel Peace Prize, my ass.

The third major military operation in just over a year from the Peace President. Like the others, this one is illegal and highly unlikely to advance any US national interests. Like the others, this is likely to produce a quick declaration of victory and negligible positive results.

Killing Iranians through unprovoked missile strikes is a hell of way to distract everyone from the #EpsteinFiles.

Israel and the US Strike Iran!

The Trump Administration has joined Israel in illegally attacking Iran and is asking Americans to die for war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu and his genocidal regime.

The cruelty and inhumanity of this Administration’s policies have left another person dead—as CBP dropped off Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a nearly blind refugee living in Buffalo NY, alone on a cold winter night miles from his home.

This cruelty must end.

Remind me, when you beat up a blind old refugee and then dump him out to die in the cold, are you the good guys?

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

This is not a State of the Union. It’s just a live stream of Trump arguing with reality.

Hegseth warns Anthropic to let the military use the company’s AI tech as it sees fit, AP sources say Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is pressuring Anthropic to give the military broader access to its artificial intelligence technology or lose its Pentagon contract.

This is a very big story.

As it turns out, concentration camps? Not very popular.

All my life, Democrats have bent over backwards to run scrupulously scandal-free administrations, while Republicans have wallowed publicly and unapologetically in crime and corruption ... and Democrats have gotten zero advantage for it. Zilch.

when the justice department reveals itself to be untrustworthy, then surprise! the courts no longer trust the justice department:
