WRONG. I-205 administrative warrants are not issued by immigration judges. They’re signed by ICE officers. And EVEN IF THEY WERE issued by an immigration judge - they are executive branch employees, NOT judicial branch. JUDICIAL warrants are needed to enter a home without consent.

Google to pay $68 million over allegations its voice assistant eavesdropped on users Class-action lawsuit alleged that Google's voice assistant illegally recorded and shared private conversations with advertisers.

Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"?

Well, it happens they were doing exactly that.

A Truth From Iran to Minneapolis: Weak Governments Kill Protesters Regimes are most violent against dissenters when they know that the protests have traction.

The problem is bigger than Minneapolis, bigger than ICE, and bigger than Trump. Violence against protesters is on the rise in the U.S. and all over the world, reflecting a horrifying escalation of authoritarianism, and an elite disregard for basic democratic freedoms.

This has been obvious from the start, but, please, everyone repost this. We've known forever that TACO was under Putin's thumb. Now we know all our oligarchs and TACO appointees are too.

Bari Weiss darling CBS's Peter Attia skipped out on visiting his baby son in the ICU so he could meet with Jeffrey Epstein.

How many times are we going to discover something about someone in conservative circles and think, "That would never make it out of a writers' room. It's too over-the-top."

James Comer spent every day for 2 years and millions of US taxpayer dollars trying to link Joe Biden to Hunter’s appointment to the Burisma board in 2014, but has zero interest in UAE putting $500 million into Trump’s crypto company then getting advanced AI chips from the US.

Epstein's sex empire was 'KGB honeytrap' The release of more than three million new documents relating to the late sex offender gives credence to claims made by senior security officials: that Epstein was working on behalf of Moscow.

Alan Alda celebrated his 90th last week, so watched some M.A.S.H. clips, which was emotional. The U.S. wasn’t perfect in the 1970s, but it was still bracing to recall a time when ideals mattered, when we had a strong press, when feminism was predominant, and when you could dump a tyrant president.

RFK Jr. Demonstrates How To Remove Tapeworm By Scooting Ass Across Carpet WASHINGTON—In an address touting the practice as a completely drug-free method to relieve the common affliction, Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. demonstrated Thursday how ...

“Doctors won’t tell you this, but you don’t need medication for a tapeworm—all you need is the natural power of friction,” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said as he dropped to the floor, lifted his legs high, and dragged his ass along the White House carpet during a press conference.

Hell, yeah.

“I’ve got white skin, so I’m using my privilege to speak for my friends and neighbors. We’re telling them to stay home and stay safe, and we’re coming out and fighting for them.”

every epstein file drop underscores how elite power operates through shared socio-economic networks, regardless of people's ideological differences, populist posturing, or public feuds

DOJ upset today about perception they don’t take child exploitation seriously. Also today, DOJ releases allegation Trump raped a 13 year old:

Putin keeps making a complete fool out of naive gullible Taco Don Trump who keeps insisting that Putin is the one who wants peace & Zelensky doesn't.
And Trump says how nice Putin was to him by agreeing not to bomb Kyiv during the frigid cold, & hours later Putin bombs the shit out of Kyiv.

DOJ announces full release of Epstein files The agency has made more than three million pages public more than a month past its deadline.

NEW: The DOJ is releasing more than 3 million pages of Epstein files — including thousands of photos and videos — more than a month past its deadline.

Making war on your own country shouldn’t be normalized.

200 ICE agents are in Wake County, North Carolina in retaliation for Thom Tillis talking shit about Trump. They have been seen around the Health & Human Servies building off of Sunnybrook Rd in Raleigh. #FDT #AbolishICE #NCPOL #NCgov #NC

Given how many times the Democratic candidate has won the popular vote, but lost the election due to the electoral count, I think it could be a real possibility. In the meantime, we need to support the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. Make sure your state opts in.

"They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets."

"They had the professional demeanor of criminals."

We need to do away with the electoral college first. If neither presidential candidate earns 270 electoral votes, we have a "contingent election." This means the House gets to select the president and the Senate gets to select the vice-president. We don't want that to happen ever.

Amazon just announced another round of 16,000 layoffs, months after it laid off 14,000 workers.

Reminder that Amazon CEO Andy Jassy raked in over $40M in 2024.

And Amazon is spending at least $75 million producing and promoting the Melania documentary.

The system is rigged.

Dress rehearsal for November 2026 election. How to steal the vote by stealing the ballots.

Melania Trump was paid $28 million to make a movie nobody wanted to see. That's called a bribe, folks
