ICE special agents were on the National Mall.

There were no reports of undocumented people taking Segway tours on the Mall today.

Coincidence?

JUST IN: Blistering ruling by Judge Ho on ICE arrests in immigration court. He says the Trump administration has turned attendance at immigration court proceedings into a game of "detention roulette" that violates due process.

I’m not even sure it has significant elite buy-in.

I think it has demonstrated some ability to discipline elites; that’s not quite the same.

I was able to accurately predict how badly and quickly America would devolve under this administration, but what I really can't predict is if enough Americans will take action as opposed to staying comfortable and covering their ears and eyes, before it's too late to do anything meaningful at all.

Republican Senator Says He Doesn’t Wear Seatbelt in D.C. Because He Fears Being Carjacked: β€˜I Don’t Buckle Up’ Sen. Markwayne Mullin said he does not wear a seatbelt while driving in Washington, D.C., lest doing so prevent him from acting quickly in case he's carjacked.

A sitting Republican senator says he is so scared driving in DC that he doesn't wear a seatbelt out of fear he might get carjacked and won't be able to escape www.mediaite.com/media/tv/rep...

THIS IS NOT CONSTITUTIONAL.

They cannot commandeer state and local law enforcement because they want to.

THIS IS NOT LAWFUL.

They cannot use federalized guard or military personnel for civilian law enforcement absent rebellion and insurrection.

These are not β€œconservative” groups: these are fascist racists who falsely believe women are meant to be controlled & brown people are meant to be slaves- but there are more of us than them. We can and will stop them. & put them in their place

Costco Won’t Sell Abortion Pill as Religious Investors Declare Win A coalition of faith-based activists had pressured the retailer to not offer the abortion pill mifepristone in its pharmacy locations. The group now turns its focus to CVS and Walgreens.

Very bad news from Costco. One of the groups orchestrating this pressure campaign is Alliance Defending Freedom, a Christian Nationalist law firm that is hellbent on reshaping US society.

The ADF coalition "now turns its focus to CVS and Walgreens."

Sometimes I'll be walking down the sidewalk and it'll just enter my brain that we have a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist as president and most of the country has decided there's nothing wrong with that.

This is correct. The claim is supported by the number of *views* the tweet got, and that’s it. That’s genuinely it, it’s not an exaggeration.

Did you know that the Founders were so vehemently against having a standing army that might do what Comer is calling for that they explicitly wrote into the Constitution that Congress has to reauthorize the existence of the Army every two years or the entire thing has to disband?

1. the USA positioned itself as the cops of the world
2. we spend a ton on military and therefore it should be used/deployed against americans

MTG up 142% in stocks she bought days before ICE awarded $30m contract The Georgia representative is a member of the House Homeland Security Committee, which oversees ICE

Today’s #corruption news: Marjorie Taylor Greene sits on the Homeland Security Committee.

She bought stock in #Palantir days before ICE, under her committee’s oversight, awarded it a $30M contract.
That stock surged 142%, the greatest investment she ever made. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

It turns out if you have a maniac doing counterprogramming of your pandemic response every day on national television that's bad all on its own, when that person is in charge of the pandemic response, well, that's worse, you can see how that's worse right

Also, a very coordinated, extremely malignant group of right wing ratfvckers found in Covid the opportunity to destroy society, progress and government. They found their freaks to be the face of their obscenely destructive agenda.

Issue-specific targeted checkpoints like DUI checkpoints can be constitutional, but a generalized roust-everyone-for-anything checkpoints are definitely not. There may be an exception for a special purpose to help a career sex pest and rapist evade attention to his connection to a serial pedophile.

Behind Wall Street’s Abrupt Flip on Crypto

1/ TLDR - You deposit money in your bank and get stablecoin. It's faster than money transfers used to be and theoretically lower fees, and all you have to give up in return is earning any interest and FDIC protection.
