Artillery Shell Detonated Over Interstate 5 During Marines’ Celebration, California Officials Say

BREAKING NYT: A shell fired during a live-fire demonstration at Camp Pendleton on Saturday prematurely detonated, dropping fragments of the shell on a California Highway Patrol vehicle and motorcycle that were part of Vice President JD Vance’s protective detail, according to a patrol report.

JD Vance’s Motorcade Hit By Shrapnel From Marine Celebration The Marine Corps held a live demonstration at Camp Pendleton to celebrate its 250th anniversary.

I had to look that up, thinking, "The guy can't be THAT stupid can he?"...

HE CAN BE. LOL!! www.thedailybeast.com/jd-vances-mo...

Breathtaking incompetence www.nytimes.com/2025/10/19/u...

Rubio promised to betray U.S. informants to get Trump’s El Salvador prison deal To secure U.S. access to President Nayib Bukele’s notorious CECOT prison, Rubio agreed to turn over several MS-13 leaders central to a long-running Justice Department investigation.

This is sick. Several of the MS13 gang members Trump traded to Bukele so he could have access to CECOT prison for deportees were actually COOPERATORS with law enforcement. He betrayed them. wapo.st/4nbNiM4

The most stupid, tone-deaf regime in history.

To all the disingenuous or ignorant people posting that "No Kings" is ridiculous because Trump never claimed to be a king, here is an official tweet from the White House earlier this year:

America-hating Antifa showing up for a *second* time today.

MSNBC captured the crowd from the Boston "No Kings" rally:

Why can’t every month have a No Kings Day? 😩

I LEARN THESE FIVE SENTENCES TODAY AT AN @ACLU.ORG WEBINAR FOR PROTESTERS:

"Am I free to go?"

"I wish to remain silent."

"I do not consent to this search."

"Am I under arrest?"

"I want to speak to a lawyer."

Remember how MAGA told us Javier Milei would fix Argentina's economy with his right-wing policies?

And now we are bailing out Argentina with billions.

Remember how MAGA told us Donald Trump would save US farmers with his right-wing policies?

And now we are bailing them out with billions also.

ICYMI: “And now, a response from the leader of the frog resistance...” 🐸 🎵 #Colbert

“Illinois governor says we’re provoking actions that are unlawful,” Miller said on CNN. “If I put federal law enforcement and National Guard into a nice sleepy Southern town, is anyone gonna riot?”

Reverend David Black, other faith leaders, journalists, and protestors have joined a class action lawsuit alleging ICE violated their First Amendment rights during protests outside a detention center.

The brutality of this regime is on full display.

Attorney for woman shot by Border Patrol claims agent said, 'Do something b----' before shooting Body-camera video appears to contradict the government's claim that Marimar Martinez drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney alleged...

It's not, like, some minor paperwork mistake. If this is correct, ICE rammed a woman's car, threatened her derisively, shot her, and then wrote up a report claiming she drove at them.

Someone prosecute someone for perjury someday please.

Laura Rodriguez, on Twitter: A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them. Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

There it is

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

Pod man out: Trump's support with influential podcasters is waning Some of the podcasters who hosted Trump ahead of last year's election are breaking with him now on key issues like deportations and the war in Gaza.

Congrats to mediocre men who were idiots but might come around! Meanwhile, no love for women podcasters who were right all along. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

There it is.

Trump payments to Epstein!

Nothing says America First like bailing out Argentina while making healthcare unaffordable for 20+ million Americans.

Or signing an Article 5 protection treaty with Qatar coz they bribed you with a plane, while screwing over longstanding NATO allies.

Folks, I think America First might be a scam.

News today that ICE shot a woman is chilling. The videos online show that there are some abusive, masked thugs masquerading as law enforcement.

Nobody deserves this. The courts need to step in.

Spot on.
