When I woke up yesterday morning, I believed that I was the best candidate to fight for and flip Virginia’s 5th District. By last night, I knew that I would be ending my campaign to endorse Tom Perriello. /1

In case you ever wondered…now you know!
Trump Goes to War With ICC to Shield Himself From Prosecution
Donald Trump is demanding the International Criminal Court rewrite its rules.
newrepublic.com/post/204253/...
This is probably the clearest indication yet that the administration understands what they’re doing in the Caribbean is illegal.
They’re now threatening the ICC with sanctions if they investigate Trump and his team.
Still waiting for that principled US military leadership which will stand up for what’s right if they're given illegal orders ‘cos it's an organisation founded on a tradition of honour and loyalty to the Constitution, not to any individual.
Where are they and will they be showing up any time soon?

This is very straightforwardly piracy.

The U.S. and Venezuela are on the brink of war? Did the FIFA Peace Prize mean nothing to Trump?

New videos and photos shared with 404 Media show a Border Patrol agent wearing Meta Ray-Bans glasses with the recording light clearly on.
This is despite a DHS ban on officers recording with personal devices...
New: A CBP agent in Charlotte wore Meta Ray Bans to an immigration raid and used it to record, based on photos shared with 404 Media. We've seen them wearing these glasses before but this is the first specific evidence we have of them recording

So how is this about drugs coming in from Venezuela? Is the tanker loaded with drugs?

Well, Congress? Trump is turning our military into pirates now? You ok with that?

Screenshot of the article which reads: State leaders looked to regents to set a new tone on the campuses they oversaw. When Abbott appointed a new slate of regents to join university boards across the state in March 2023, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick — then the face of DEI pushback — individually sat down with more than a dozen appointees before the Senate’s traditionally perfunctory confirmation vote, according to his calendar. Patrick interviewed the regents about their views on DEI programs. He wanted them to take a stronger stand against what he viewed as liberal indoctrination on college campuses, according to two employees at separate university systems who were briefed on the conversations.
Boards are where every ounce of the action is my friends. Do you know who's on your board? What "expertise" do they bring to the institution? What conflicts of interest do they and their partner have? What litmus test does the political appointing body use to select new members?

The Ellison team behind the Paramount bid for Warner Bros. Discovery seems keen to emblazon the MAGA worldview across their properties, to judge both by the Trumpian makeover of CBS News and Paramount’s involvement in Rush Hour 4.

The Trump administration plans to require all foreign tourists to provide their social media histories from the last five years to enter the country.
Yes, I said TOURISTS — not immigrants. This is insane. It will DECIMATE the U.S. tourism industry.
🗣️ Yasss! It’s resolved. Let’s all get back to teaching and learning.
