FBI Warns of Criminals Posing as ICE, Urges Agents to ID Themselves In a bulletin to law enforcement agencies, the FBI said criminal impersonators are exploiting ICE’s image and urged nationwide coordination to distinguish real operations from fakes.

Ah. Who could have guessed this might become a problem?

You mean his willful, deliberate and repeated contempt of court?

Excited for 2028 when some state SoS kicks Trump off the ballot, Federal district and appellate judges uphold it and then SCOTUS issues an unsigned 6-3 shadow docket rulling staying the lower court ruling, allowing Trump to stay on the ballot and schedules arguments for the case for February 2029.

The only civilized way to travel... especially as airlines are now charging for everything including a pressurized cabin and oxygen. THIS is the great nation (re)building project: steel, cars, construction, permanent jobs green jobs.

Do it!

Stop protecting the US auto market.

Loyalty is supposed to be reciprocal.

Opinion | The new pirates of the Caribbean Attacks against alleged drug boats are lawless.

Washington Post edit board: There’s a name for attacks on civilian ships on the high seas: Piracy. That’s also an unfortunately plausible description of the Trump administration’s bombings of vessels around South America that it says are carrying drugs. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Since 1970, species populations in 🇨🇦 marine & coastal habitats have remained mostly stable (-4%) but half of monitored species are declinig.

There's hope: marine mammals are recovering, and protecting blue carbon habitats can help store carbon, reduce flooding & safeguard coasts.

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

Michael Wolff vs. Melania Trump: See you (and your husband) in court.

Only -30%? We can do better than that. C'mon, Canada.

Nailed it.

Asserting a License to Kill: Why the Caribbean Strike is a Dangerous Departure from the “War on Terror” An absence of credible legal basis for the Caribbean strike suggests the Trump admin is asserting a prerogative to kill outside the law.

Given the now fifth U.S. strike in the Caribbean, reposting my recent essay in @justsecurity.org.

There’s a word for premeditated killing outside of armed conflict.

Another reason I'm not sure whether I should be relieved or alarmed about our impending robot overlords.

Imagine the media reaction if a single Democrat ever said anything like this ever once in history.

Federal officials telling social media companies to take down posts was supposedly a free speech crisis. It’s not even really hypocrisy, since the right was lying about much of it.
And this isn’t misinformation, foreign influence ops, or public health, just 1A-protected speech the govt doesn’t like.

Under my Standing Authorities as Commander-in-Chief, this morning, the Secretary of War, ordered a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel affiliated with a Designated Terrorist Organization (DTO) conducting narcotrafficking in the USSOUTHCOM area of responsibility — just off the Coast of Venezuela. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was trafficking narcotics, was associated with illicit narcoterrorist networks, and was transiting along a known DTO route. The strike was conducted in International Waters, and six male narcoterrorists aboard the vessel were killed in the strike. No U.S. Forces were harmed. Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!!!!

Further premeditated, lawless killing in the Caribbean.

Making at least five such US strikes.

Against unidentified "narcoterrorists" affiliated w/ an unspecified "designated terrorist organization" allegedly trafficking unspecified narcotics.

POTUS is asserting a license to kill outside the law.

🙏 💚

Gotta hand it to 'em, each new outrage still manages to scrape ever lower through the bottom of the barrel.

Federal Workers Are Being Told to Blame Democrats for the Shutdown Workers at one agency were given unhinged, partisan language to use when setting out-of-office replies.

SCOOP: At 9:35am on Wednesday, the first morning of the US government shutdown, employees at the Small Business Administration (SBA) received a template from human resources for their suggested “out of office” email. They were advised to blame the Democrats.

Imagine a country where the sole governing impulse is owning the libs. 🤦

An out of office email scoop with Hatch Act implications you're gonna want to read from @telliotter.bsky.social:

A graphic with orange text boxes that read: “Did you know? At the 2025 federal election, over 630,000 Canadians voted NDP in Eastern Canada but only won one seat to show for it. Proportional representation means you get the voice you vote for, no matter where you call home.” At the bottom it says “Learn more at fairvote.ca.”

A system where over 630,000 votes equals only one seat is not democracy, it's distortion.

As the NDP leadership race ramps up, candidates must make proportional representation central to their platforms so every voter gets a voice, no matter where they live.

Remember that Trump lamented that domestic violence was a crime. This is their version of “masculinity”

Thug. I hope he feels like a big, tough man now.

Just since yesterday, the President has engaged in more extrajudicial killings, promised to use the federal government's power to repress the political opposition, threatened to prosecute a reporter for asking him a question, and filed a baseless lawsuit to try to intimidate a leading news outlet.

This week's "hate speech isn't free speech" calamity has, somehow, reached another new low: The president of the United States suggesting that speech he finds unfair to him is hate speech, and targetable by the Justice Department.

We are in deeply dangerous territory.
