I have more respect for the Iraqi journalist who threw a shoe at George W Bush than any of the cowards in the current White House press pool.

The people who know Trump best - the people who worked with him closest during his first term - know how dangerous he is to our country.

Some say it is illegal to arrest a sitting president. It is not. The president is subject to the law like everyone. That none have been arrested in the U.S. is only a policy internal to the DOJ based on the need for continuity of government operations--a policy that never imagined a criminal POTUS.

Rep. Adelita Grijalva was pepper-sprayed by ICE agents during a raid last week.

Remember: ICE is getting $170B in new funding from Trump's Big Ugly Bill and lowering its hiring standards.

If Trump's thugs can do this to a member of Congress, they can do it to you.

ICE is going after people who commit fewer crimes than U.S. born citizens. They're robbing people, hurting people, using racial profiling, violating due process, hurting children, and going after American citizens while they do. This is an illegal criminal enterprise from head to toe.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that every cruel, bigoted policy that comes from this administration is based on a reaction to fear.

Every real economist in America warned at the time he was imposing tariffs that it would affect each of these things, and deportations have affected the ability of farmers to access labor. This is all happening because of one man.

Don't forget that the made up Venezuelan conflict is all about distractions from the Epstein files.

The normalization of this madness is so quick that we’re debating whether a second illegal strike was wrong after an initial illegal strike with no proof of any crime and we’ve already seen just random murders of fishermen normalized with the excuse they’re running drugs, which isn’t legal either.

The United States laws and international laws against war crimes not only protect the enemy, but those laws also protect your sons and daughters if they are wounded or captured after a military action. Whatever you do to them, they are perfectly justified in doing to your soldiers.

This is so messed up… Amnesty International reports that detainees at Alligator Alcatraz (and at another facility, Krome North Service Processing Center) describe being placed in a “punishment box,” a cage-like structure in the yard so cramped that people could not sit, lie down, or

Military officers breaking the law and commiting war crimes and acts of war is exactly what you'd expect under a criminal tyrant president who incites violence and terror.

Venezuelan gangs didn't poison 140,000 of my neighbors in Flint. American capitalists did that.

If the president can magically claim that drug runners are “narco-terrorists” to justify killing them, what’s to stop him from declaring democratic lawmakers as “political terrorists” or legally protesting American citizens as “agitator terrorists” to justify their murders?

How many other murders/war crimes has Hegseth committed that we haven't yet heard about?

Current US Policy:

If you’re suspected of trafficking a small amount of drugs with no evidence, we will murder you, but if you’re convicted of trafficking an enormous amount of drugs with copious evidence, we will pardon you. Because we are currently a very stupid country.

JUST IN: Mike Johnson plans to swear in Rep.-elect Matt Van Epps on Thursday — less than two days after he won the TN-07 special election.

As a reminder, it took Johnson 50 days to swear in Democratic Rep. Adelita Grijalva.

Whatever Mark Kelly runs for, I'll be voting for him.

The boats the regime is claiming are going from Venezuela to the US would need to refuel over 20 times to get to Miami.

They are lying to us.

This whole “double tap” language makes it seem like someone playing Call of Duty and not the United States government murdering fishermen.

Repetitive bragging about acing a cognitive exam is itself a diagnostic marker

The U.S. has conducted 19 strikes on alleged drug-carrying boats, killing at least 76 people.

Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.

He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

This is a danger to us all.

BREAKING: The FBI has paid nearly $1 million in overtime to redact the Epstein files, per Snopes.

Dems in Congress should start demanding the list of names of all ICE “agents”. These people seem to walk more carefully when they know consequences may be around the corner.

Since I haven’t seen anyone mention this: When the U.S. commits war crimes it puts our troops in danger also, as it gives a green light to other countries that they can do the same to us

It has been 15 minutes since our last “if this had happened in any other administration” event

One issue is the constitution being written by educated men, imagined that future citizens and leaders would be as educated as them or more, and that therefore their future was always going to be one that respected unwritten but agreed upon centuries of English legal tradition

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

The same people who i used to fight with in the GOP, who wanted to withdraw American troops from everywhere, are now the ones justifying the murder of two survivors.

It’s almost like…. It was never about that
