Senator John Cornyn, Groveling for Trump's Endorsement in His Texas Runoff Against Ken Paxton, Flips Positions on Blowing Up the Filibuster to Pass the SAVE Act #ELB Sad that someone would make this change not out of principle but out of the need for that endorsement.

Q: "The president said yesterday that President Putin told him he wanted to be helpful in the Middle East…How does the president think Russia could be helpful?"

Leavitt: "I'll leave it to the president to divulge any more of that conversation."

Police in Britain Repeatedly Declined to Investigate Epstein. Why?

Exclusive: The Metropolitan Police interviewed Virginia Giuffre 3 times after her lawyers handed them a dossier of evidence saying that she was trafficked to UK by Epstein and Maxwell, and made her have sex with Prince Andrew

But they did not launch an investigation

BREAKING NEWS: Reporter Calls Out Trump's Lie Directly To His Face Really American | Tuesday Morning, March 10, 2026

“You just suggested that Iran got its hands on a U.S. Tomahawk and BOMBED ITS OWN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL on the first day of the war.

You are the only person in your government saying this.

WHY ARE YOU THE ONLY PERSON SAYING THIS?”

PEDOrump’s answer:
“Because I just don’t know enough about it.” 😲🙄🤬

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.

Kim: The vast majority of what I hear in these classified briefings can be said publicly, but they intentionally do this to as a tactic to be able to prevent the American people from hearing and questioning what it is that they're doing.

They know that the American people do not want a war

Plaintiffs continue their outreach and report here on “the number of Plaintiffs who wish to travel independently to a U.S. port of entry or who wish to be flown from a third country to the United States for their court proceedings, understanding that in both scenarios they will be detained upon arrival.” ECF No. 247 at 7.
There are nineteen (19) such Plaintiffs as of the date of this filing. Further details are submitted separately under seal, as ordered by the Court.

Incredible.
19 of the 137 Venezuelans whom Trump sent to CECOT under the Alien Enemies Act, & who were swapped back to VZ & then escaped to 3d countries, seek to come back to the US to contest their Tren de Aragua designation—knowing they'll be detained (& God knows what else) by the Trump Admin.

President Trump's Pardons: An Embarrassment of Riches At least the specter of corruption in previous presidential administrations (Clinton’s pardon of Marc Rich or Biden’s pardon of his son) appeared to be an exception to the rule. Today, however, the ev...

That is insane: "Biden’s pardons eliminated roughly $680,000 in financial penalties owed to victims or the government. In contrast, Trump’s second-term pardons have forgiven criminal debts of more than $1.5 billion." www.cato.org/blog/embarra...

CBS obtained video of the DHS killing of an unarmed man in Texas that DHS concealed for nearly a year, which clearly contradicts claims that he violently rammed anyone. He is shot with his brake lights on, car not moving or barely moving. Another DHS crime.

Racial profiling is the most important immigration policy in the last year. We went from having effectively no problem with this at all in January 2025 to over 2,000 people per week being arrested for no reason (and that number excludes all the US citizens targeted)

It's kind of depressing how many persons reacting to this don't realize David Bier is taking the same side as Sen. Merkley, deploring the effective immunity that insulates ICE agents from accountability.

MERKLEY: So when the VP said 'ICE agents have absolute immunity' in violating people's civil rights, he was effectively correct?

BIER: Effectively, yes. Right now as the law stands.

A shocking number of people responding to this video clearly did not watch the video. David is extremely opposed to the Trump administration's terrorization of immigrant communities. He is describing serious problems with the current laws which make accountability difficult.

RON JOHNSON: 650k people that are at large in America have committed crimes. Mr Bier, you're shaking your head

BIER: They're not at large. They're in prison. They're in prison where they should be

JOHNSON: They're not detained!

BIER: They're detained by the states. They're not detained by ICE

This is the way a lot of us would like to think we would respond to hostile questions in a Congressional hearing, but its rare to see a witness just turn the tables on a Senator like this.

Here's my Blooski statement that Sen. Kennedy calls hyperbolic. I will defend natural law until the day I die, Senator. People's rights come from their humanity, not their government. If ordered to act unethically, you should always refuse. Do Republicans now disagree?

KENNEDY: You said, 'Republicans think can troll their way to ethnic cleansing.' Did I read that correctly?

BIER: DHS tweeted for 100m deportations. That would be ethnic cleansing!

K: You don't think it's hyperbolic?

B: I think advocating 100m deportations is ethnic cleansing. Yes. Your time is up

Satisfying to see @davidjbier.bsky.social absolutely dogwalk Sen. Kennedy here.

Kennedy is so far gone he doesn’t even seem to realize the “Blue-ski” posts he’s reading are the consensus view of most Americans and not some Marxist smoking gun or something.
