Q: Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus?

Trump: Who?

Q: Suspending habeas corpus.

Trump: I don't know. I'd rather leave that to Kristi. What do you think?

Don’t take the bait. Don’t give Trump the spectacle he wants.

Peaceful protest is power. Stay loud.

The interviewer was pretty obviously fishing for a negative comment about Trump voters and Porter wasn’t playing along. Respect.

Trump and his goons are clearly hungry to murder American citizens. Showing up in inflatable costumes makes it VERY hard for them to get the kind of bloody show they want.

We should not be surprised that a political culture that values these types of people finds the idea of a healthy skepticism from the marginalized as a contemptuous concept.

Instead of "Smoked Fish Czar," what about "Liege Lord of the Lox"?

DHS police taking down protest signs in preparation for Noem’s arrival. Apparently streamer Benny Johnson will be with her to video but actual press are being kept a block away….

Meanwhile Noem allowed local social media streamer David Medina to ride in with her.

Murray: "If House Republicans were here, I'd make sure they understood over 3/4 of the families on the exchanges actually live in R states. And I'd make sure they understand the 10 states where families will face biggest average premium increase hikes when the ACA credits expire are all R states."

plus Γ§a change, plus c'est la mΓͺme chose. Shooting metaphors hold true 165 years apart. In 1860, the Dems were the conservatives. Now it is the GOP. Conservatives seem to act the same way. Lincoln, in his speech at Cooper Union, the speech that likely made him the Republican candidate, said this:

Thankfully, senator Adam Schiff takes time to document all the serious questions Pam Bondi refuses to answer - and even then, Bondi continues her attempts to interrupt him with childish catcalls she probably learned from FOX's Greg Gutfeld

Supreme Court Live Updates: Justices Seem Set to Rule Against Colorado’s Ban on Conversion Therapy

The Supreme Court legalizing the torture of teenagers just because some Christians want it. Why do I keep writing queer books? This is why. To keep kids like I was alive.

Republicans post fake image of Oregon protest – using photos of South America A federal judge had blocked Trump’s request to deploy California national guard to Portland

The Oregon Republican Party tried to help Donald Trump make the case for military intervention in Portland with an image of a fiery protest β€” but since Portland is calm, they had to fabricate one by merging old photos of police in Ecuador and protesters in Brazil www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Whether you're a casual news reader or a breaking news reporter at the NYTimes, I implore you--please, please, please--do not believe or report DHS/ICE/CBP's side of events uncritically. End the state's monopoly on legitimate storytelling. They are not the objective arbiter of what really happened.

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE
Truth: No cars rammed ICE

I’m telling you: ridicule works. These guys are supposed to intimidate the citizenry and it’s very hard to do that when a guy in a frog suit is just staring you down and daring you to do something that makes it look like you’re afraid of a cartoon

A pie chart entitled "ICE, ICE, Maybe?" with a dek that says "a fraction of deportation personnel are employed by ICE's primary deportation unit." 

13% percent of the graph is shaded in orange, with ICE ERO written in white, while the remaining 87% of the graph is shaded in gray and labelled Other

Fact-check: Most of the goons in Trump's deportation army aren't even ICE agents.

Only about 13% of the personnel carrying out Trump’s deportation agenda are employed by ICE’s primary deportation unit; the rest are pulled from other jobs.

Portland politician here. The only thing that’s burning is my simmering rage at this sheer lunacy and the only thing I’m afraid of is running out of creamer for my coffee in the morning.

Update: Frog wants everyone to know they cleaned up with water and took a breather, suited back up, and returned to the front. ✊🐸
