The Peril of a White House That Flaunts Its Indifference to the Law

"In peacetime targeting civilians—even suspected criminals—who pose no threat of imminent violence is considered murder. In an armed conflict it is a war crime," writes Charlie Savage. Trump "is blurring a line between enforcing the law and waging a war." www.nytimes.com/2025/10/24/u...

Carville is absolutely right. I think of him as a predator, one who will do anything to stay in power.

I wish they said explicitly that there's $5 billion in emergency reserves they're refusing to use instead they're happy to let people - mostly children, the disabled, and elderly, starve.

This year, Orbán visited Mar-a-Lago and spoke with Trump and head of the Heritage Foundation (org behind Project 2025).

Trump consistently praises Orbán and said he's "like a twin."

Trump already made the Oval Office look like a movie-set whorehouse; imagine the White House ballroom he’s building.

Money doesn’t buy class.

Holy shit! This looks even worse than yesterday. They’re not trying to save any part of the East Wing.

First pass at the chaotic scene that just happened in Lower Manhattan.

Military-Style Sweep Hits NYC as Masked Federal Agents Arrest Canal Street Vendors www.thecity.nyc/2025/10/21/i...

More video of the tank on Lafayette a short while ago outside 26 Federal Plaza, and federal agents making arrests of counter protesters.

The East Wing was first added in 1942, under Franklin D. Roosevelt, primarily to provide office space for the First Lady’s staff and to conceal a newly built underground bunker known as the Presidential Emergency Operations Center (PEOC) during World War II.

A Border Patrol agent in Round Lake Beach on the morning of Friday 10/18 tells the person filming his license plate, "we change plates out every day."

“.. They describe the legions of masked immigration officers operating in near-total anonymity on the orders of the president as the crossing of a line that had long set the United States apart from the world’s most repressive regimes.”

The Trump Administration made a deal with El Salvador that threatened years of U.S. law enforcement work to fight MS-13 so they could send people to CECOT—one of the most inhumane prisons in the world.

Stephen Miller Lays Out the Plan in Public The White House aide equates opposition to Trump’s agenda with terrorism—and pushes for the use of state power to suppress it.

Stephen Miller is portraying opposition to Donald Trump in any form, including by judges issuing legal rulings, as an illegal rebellion, Jonathan Chait argues:

ICE spends millions on ads to recruit police for mass deportation efforts U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is spending millions of dollars on TV recruitment ads targeting officers frustrated by local restrictions on immigration enforcement.

The campaign — airing in more than a dozen cities, including Chicago, Seattle and Atlanta — is part of ICE’s $30 billion initiative to hire 10,000 more deportation officers by the end of the year to supercharge deportations. https://to.pbs.org/3Ixu2L1

BREAKING: Stephen Miller—both Trump Administration capo and de facto head of DHS, ICE, and DOJ, has just declared that peaceful protesters are "street terrorists." Under an executive order signed by Trump just days ago, that means he is saying that all protesters in America can be arrested on sight.

behold the bold and brave washington post opinion section (under new management), lol

Elon Musk Gambles Billions in Memphis to Catch Up on AI xAI aims to win the tech arms race with its “Colossus” data centers, thrown up at lightning speed. The city is divided over the massive power and water demands.

“Musk’s data centers will probably bring in only a few hundred jobs to Memphis while consuming millions of gallons of water a day and more electricity than is needed to power all the city’s homes.”

What Happens to School Lunches in the MAHA Era? R.F.K., Jr., promised healthier food for kids, but the Trump Administration is cutting programs that achieve this goal.

In March, the U.S.D.A. abruptly terminated $1 billion in Biden-era funding that had helped food banks, schools, and child-care centers procure fresh food from local farmers, cutting initiatives that made school lunches healthier for kids.

If you like yelling about misuse of the passive voice, THIS IS IT.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

Because of Republicans' health care cuts, families will be forced to the brink of bankruptcy from one bad medical diagnosis.

That's what this shutdown fight is about.

Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress own this government shutdown.

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

California and New York paying taxes to this federal government in 2025 is tantamount to England and France paying taxes to Germany in 1940.

The money is going to be used *against* you.
