Schmidt’s use of the word “cleansing” is concerning.

The Democrats need to go further. And prevent any increase in the debt limit.

They need to say, they will not raise the debt limit for an unconstitutional government.

This is also why conservatives hate cities. They force inhabitants to develop habits of mutual trust and embrace diversity and generally promote cohesion. They are an existential threat to the conservative movement.

The weird snipe at @stevevladeck.bsky.social aside, Ilan misses the entire point that even the framers accepted the general idea of judicial oversight re: the president's deployment of military forces. Congress enacted a statutory regime. The president is bound by it. Courts have equitable powers.

They’re using American tax dollars to fund infrastructure in Argentina because that’s where they’re all going to flee when we kick them out of office

Feels like a situation where -- and look, I'm just spitballing here -- the media could take some reporters and cameras to various parts of Portland and report what they see rather than just do stenography for someone with a long history trying to game the system with lies and exaggeration.

Who is stupid enough to believe Leavitt ?

Europe seems particularly helpless. But at this point it should be grateful to Putin for repeatedly pointing out its defensive weaknesses against drones.

At this point the Russians are doing Europe a solid by demonstrating how bad their defenses are. We should thank Putin.

Why are the Europeans so helpless?

It seems like a political decision driven by civilian leadership to funnel some profits to private sector companies.

The way this made me laugh! 🤣

Hats off to Republicans: they lie so shamelessly and effortlessly!

Says who? If the courts are not respected and SCOTUS doesn’t care, the 4th Amendment does not exist.

It seems pointless even to say this, but the Fourth Amendment does not permit federal agents to kick down every door in an apartment building just because *some* people in that building are allegedly undocumented. Even in the unlikely event they had a warrant, warrants have to be specific.

This is as pathetic as it is dangerous. A ridiculous buffoon elevated to a position of power, enabled to hurt vulnerable people in a quest to quench his desire for domination, encouraging others to join him and give in to their worst selves.

Trumpism personified.

This current American presidential administration is run by people who are quite obviously mentally ill, and we need to start talking about that.

ICE agents raid South Shore apartments; Trump says Chicago could become military training ground ICE agents raided a South Shore apartment building overnight as the city braces for a possible military deployment.

“ABC7 spoke to Pertissue Fisher, a woman who lives in the building. She said ICE agents took everyone in the building, including her, and asked questions later….’They was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other.’”

It can’t happen here, you say. But it is happening.

Hegseth: Dunning-Kruger, Army example.

Grab them or sink them.

What’s your secret!?

There's only one time when the military was used on "domestic enemies" for an extended period of time. And both Trump and his SecDef have made it pretty clear that they would have sided with the domestic enemies.

Schumer would rather help Trump than the Democratic Party.

Been happy with Eero fwiw

Am I reading this correctly?

A grad student ... in Computer Science ... enrolled in an undergraduate seminar ... in the American Indian and Indigenous Studies program ... where he ignored the readings and hijacked discussions to talk about Israel and defend its actions in Gaza?

What the hell?

“Comey’s malfeasance makes 9/11 pale in comparison to!”

The idealogical content of this “capitulation“ – Israelist talking points being forcibly sideloaded into student bodies – should be a clue that it’s willing cooperation by university board members for whom this is a common goal.
