I'm not sure Democrats in D.C. are aware that their base's rage against ICE has reached a level of blinding white-hot intensity.

They're worried about "looking weak" for voting "against law enforcement" when they should be worried a mob of housewives is going to come beat them to death if they do.

Goldman: Until DHS reins in this rogue and authoritarian ICE secret police force, there should be no more funding provided to DHS.

Google the video & see for yourself.

This is not law enforcement. This is murder.

Sickening.

The handiwork of a guilty man and his criminal henchmen who thumb their nose at the law, Justice, Congress and the American people.

Trump just watches something on Fox then rage posts a new edict in response on Truth Social five minutes later without talking to anyone, then his babysitters try to explain to him that the Fox segment was wrong or his solution is insane, then he goes back to his ballroom work.

Himes: If you've got the capability to blow a boat out of the water, you've got the capability to interdict it, arrest everyone on board, interrogate them, and find out where it was going, where it came from, who the bosses are, and what the distribution networks look like.

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

Don't be surprised if whoever killed Charlie Kirk has no coherent political ideology, didn't do it for any particular reason, and doesn’t fall anywhere neat on the left/right paradigm.

I'm not really one for nostalgia but in the old days a crank like RFK would have started a cult - and probably hurt only his own followers.

We have the misfortune of living at a time when a cult elects a government (one full of cranks, con artists, and quacks) that will harm all of us.

4.6 Billion Years On, the Sun Is Having a Moment In the past two years, without much notice, solar power has begun to truly transform the world’s energy system.

β€œCalifornia is so far using forty per cent less natural gas to generate electricity than it did in 2023, which is the single most hopeful statistic I’ve seen in four decades of writing about the climate crisis.”

Excerpt: Uranus in Aries is going to be the 1960s all over again. The greatest time of upheaval will be between 2015 and 2019, when the square of Uranus in Aries to Pluto in Capricorn will create the seeds of revolution everywhere. Forces of repression are going to clamp down even harder on those who want to speak their minds.

Then, in the years 2023–25, the final stages of the Pluto return and the Capricorn effect will reach a climax. Some astrologers believe that an empire lasts no longer than one Pluto cycle, and by 2025 this cycle will be played out. And no matter how you look at it, the U.S.A. is an empire.

Just as the British Empire began enduring sunsets after the fledgling colonies won their independence, our turn may be coming. The Pluto return of 2025 will demand a redefinition of the United States and create the ultimate identity crisis. We will have to put ourselves on the line, as we did in the 1770s.

Do I believe in astrology? No. Am I still sharing this Vanity Fair article from 2006 that reads the United States stars? Hellls yes. www.vanityfair.com/news/2006/12...

Gotta give some props to Josh Hawley.

Saying you’re doing everything you can to stop Medicaid cuts in the same statement in which you announce you’ll vote for Medicaid cuts is a new level of ghoulish shamelessness.
