Short of getting caught orchestrating a coup or assassination, this is absolutely the core case of what you expel an ambassador for.

Kaine is engaging in performance art and it’s bullshit kabuki. Murray is already touting it so Dems are gonna offer the votes with wink and nods.

Dems likely to collaborate:

CCM
Fetterman
Rosen
Shaheen
Hassan
King
Gillibrand
Peters
Murray

And probably Durbin, Schumer, Schatz.

Cowards.

MSNOW headline: News Trump administration plans to deport 40 İranians days after mass killings in Iran Two of the deportees are gay and terrified of returning to a country where homosexuality is punishable by death, their lawyer says.

Another day, another outrage; ICE under Trump is going to deport dozens of people to Iran, including two gay men previously arrested by the regime who face the death penalty for their orientation, and despite the ongoing crackdowns which have killed thousands.

An administration of total inhumanity.

Cynically, DeLauro issued blistering statements against ICE, then negotiated the ICE funding deal, then personally voted against it, then celebrated with Republicans after passage. She's 82, represents Yale, and has a primary challenger.

This must be weird news to see if you’re one of the literally hundreds or even thousands of university administrators who preemptively censored faculty, scrubbed websites, changed the names of centers, etc.

COLBERT, on the so-called “Board of Peace”:

“.. Paying a billion dollars to obey Donald Trump seems a little steep. After all, CBS got to do it for just 16 million."

Of all of the lies to lean into, pretending they care about catching sex offenders, while refusing to release the Trump-Epstein Files to cover up the details of Trump & Republican Elite engaging in sex trafficking of young girls.

Meanwhile citizen sex offenders are welcome in the White House

All of these exhibits should go in the East Wing whenever it is eventually liberated

Congratulations!!

To be clear, doctors do not recommend aspirin to prevent a heart attack or stroke,. It may be recommended post-heart issue but generally not for persons over 70. Trump says he self-medicates. Likely he has a heart issue, his doctors told him he shouldn't take aspirin, but he know better than them

lmfao this is who is on his board of peace right now btw

total flop

“Every Viktor who lives off European money while trying to sell out European interests deserves a slap upside the head.” - Zelensky at Davos

Nice trolling.

We got to talk about the fact that the first target for this is a Black woman which a lot of people in the terminally online world we know these comms staffers (and others) inhabit represent a particular archetype of person who needs to be “humbled.”

Signs about the history of slavery in the U.S. and the 9 people George Washington enslaved are being removed right now at the President’s House Site in Philadelphia, across from Independence Hall, months after the Trump administration threatend to do so.

How far we have not come in 250 years.

The head of Trump DOJ's Civil Rights Division boosts prediction markets placing 36% odds she'll be able to prosecute Don Lemon for his journalism, after a federal magistrate judge found no probable cause of a crime.

Next week in the annals of legal academia: Can the federal government break into your home to force you to show you’re a birthright citizen with a general administrative warrant? The answer is more complicated than you may think. And Donald Trump is king.

i feel like Shapiro and Newsom are broadly overrated as 2028 contenders

In case you missed it: One of the ICE observers was pulled out of her car by CBP, who used facial recognition on her.

Three days later, she learned her TSA-Pre clearance had been revoked.

Kavanaugh beatings

She received a Kavanaugh concussion.

I was at MANY of these stops. Here’s what would happen: the agents would stand guard at the cars, Bovino would literally pose out front while people yelled at him. It was a pathetic, obvious attempt to antagonize neighbors - they transited three gas stations and did the exact same thing thrice.
