NEW: This isn't about "training." The two agents who murdered Alex Pretti - Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez - have been with Border Patrol for 8 and 12 years respectively. You can't reform CBP. Abolish ICE/CBP. www.propublica.org/article/alex...

What happened to our country? It is a complete shitshow. Where are the respectable GOP leaders who should be voicing opposition to a lunatic? Are there no GOP leaders who understand that liberals are citizens too? The people who approve of what he's doing are full of hate and stupidity.

Congress Must Act Now More constitutional outrage in Minnesota.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

Brett Meiselas: I’m against gerrymandering, but that doesn’t mean we unilaterally disarm. Governors like Newsom and Hochul are right to fight back. Democrats tried to ban partisan gerrymandering in the Freedom to Vote Act, which also included voter ID—but not one Republican voted for it.

You are an imposter! Try being original. CHANGE YOUR NAME!

Meanwhile the Public Library Fund was cut.

What say you @govmikedewine.bsky.social?

Another example of GOP fuckery.

Just a reminder that if Pam Bondi resigns, the next attorney general will *also* not release any list because the AG doesn’t hold the power, Trump does. And it’s clearly *him* who wants this to go away. Don’t delude yourself into thinking the buck stop with anyone other than Trump.

Fascinating how MAGA is making Bondi the fall gal for the Epstein files debacle, as if she isn’t operating at the express instruction of the man she’s protecting.

Bondi In February: “It’s sitting on my desk right now.”

What happened, Pam? 🤷🏼‍♀️

The name "Alligator Alcatraz" reminds us that America is currently run by adults who are like malicious, giggling children using magnifying glasses to burn ants.

Tillis: What do I tell 663,000 people in two years, three years, when President Trump breaks his promise by pushing them off of medicaid because the funding's not there anymore, guys?

Tonight’s sunset

Common ICE Tactics: 1. Pretending to be local police - no uniforms, no ID. 2. Slipping unsigned warrants under doors - fake/administrative warrants. 3. "Knock and talk" traps - trying to get people to open the door voluntarily. 4. Targeting children or early-morning raids - to catch people off guard.

Common ICE Tactics Cont'd: 5. Threatening bystanders - pressuring others in the home or neighborhood. 6. Lying about rights - telling people they have to open the door or talk.

ICE agents must be easily identifiable so that people know whether they are witnessing police action or ICE action, and prevent random thugs from pretending to be ICE and abducting people.

If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?

Watch the officer try to straighten out the hand of the man in the wheelchair WITH CEREBRAL PALSY. Keep your fucking hands off these vulnerable Americans. Republicans can fuck all the way off trying to end Medicaid for people who need it TO LIVE #Medicaid

This war looks like it should end up being called the “Bullshitzkrieg,” because at this point, it pretty much seems to have been performative on all sides, especially on Trump’s. We should be grateful for that, but … WTAF.

Of course, by lunchtime tomorrow we could find ourselves to be (and to have always been) at war with Eurasia or Eastasia (or maybe even Oceania!), and I’ll have to take this back. But I’m going with it for now.

U.S. Officials Concede They Don’t Know Whereabouts of Iran’s Uranium Stockpile

Trump claimed Iran’s nuclear program was “obliterated.”

Officials now say damage was severe - not total.

The International Atomic Energy Agency says Iran moved uranium before the strikes.

We bombed Iran and we don't know if we affected their nuclear program. 🎁📰

Blasphemy from a familiar of the darkness.

Probably a good moment to point out that US Homeland Terrorism Prevention is being led by an unqualified 22 year old kid who's one year out of college.

Not “ICE” changing license plates in a back lot.

They wouldn’t do that, would they? Maybe the authorities should look into this.
