Our review of 700+ videos of the Portland protests shows a wide gap between the reality on the ground and the characterizations by Trump, Fox News and DHS, which said its office in the city was under “coordinated assault by violent groups.”

In another era, ICE raids would be described as persecution of Catholics.

They were transporting cocaine. To Trinidad.
Most importantly, they were human beings.
And they were murdered.

He’s trying to lie his way through it.
He thinks we are all morons. 🤥
MAHA and RFK Jr.'s attack on our public health infrastructure is part of the right's larger attack on "modernity," and the naturalistic fallacy that sits underneath their theories on health. But what it does is provide a cover for massive healthcare austerity cuts.

The Future of the GOP Belongs to Nick Fuentes, Neo-Nazis, and the Groypers.
Nick Fuentes and Tucker represent the present and future of the GOP youth movement that embraces white Christian nationalism, misogyny, and rejects Israel & the MAGA establishment.

Gordon Findlay collapsed in the Oval Office
Dr Oz can be seen rushing to his aid.
This is the second time someone has collapsed in that office, the first being a member of Oz’s family.
One day I hope we can talk about why so many people are fainting & collapsing these days
The USG and everyone involved should be horribly embarrassed for participating in this absurd prosecution. But in the end: Justice was … served.

Of course they did, and as someone who's been in front of many juries as an attorney I'll tell you why: jurors hate government overreach more than anything, and this case was such a blindingly obvious instance of serious government overreach that everyone associated with it should probably be fired.

If Republicans can already give Trump tax breaks and judges, and he says he doesn’t “need anything more from Congress,” why is he suddenly so obsessed with ending the filibuster?
Because he wants something he’s calling “voter reform.” www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

100% serious here.
The chef judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of Rhode Island is currently - from the bench - ordering the full payment of SNAP benefits, giving USDA a deadline of tomorrow, Friday, November 7th, to comply

X post by Kyle D Cheney which reads HAPPENING NOW: Judge McConnell is sharply rebuking the Trump administration for what he said was defying his order to make full SNAP payments by Nov. 5. He has ordered USDA to make the *full* payment to states by tomorrow.
Judge McConnell tells the Trump admin that failing to fully fund November SNAP is a direct violation of his court order.
They now have until tomorrow to send funds to the states.
Imagine being so callous that you need a judge to order you, multiple times, to not starve millions of people?
