Bukele warming up the crowd for Trump at the National Prayer Breakfast really captures this era's caustic cocktail of racism, Christian nationalism, and authoritarianism.
www.thebulwark.com/p/what-trump...Early in his career, William Randolph Hearst famously joked that if his papers kept losing $1 million a year, he'd lose all his money in 60 years. If the Post continues to lose $100 million a year, it will take Jeff Bezos 2000 years to lose his money.
Why TF are we not blaming ALL republicans? trump is so flaccid and weak he couldn’t do any of this alone.
Someone needs to hold this man accountable for something.
Sounds sketchy.
So in the last 3 months, X was bought out by xAI, xAI got bought out by SpaceX?
Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

DHS Hunts Down 67-Year-Old U.S. Citizen Who Criticized Them in Email
The Department of Homeland Security is using a little-known tool to go after its critics.
Madre mía.
Seems like one of those issues that should greatly concern everyone regardless of their politics.
Minneapolis should press its momentum and demand not only withdrawal but start talking about the need for immediate reparations, loudly, with the total certainty that only winners have. "You have wronged us terribly and must pay recompense" and let them argue the second part.
Yes. And this fake FBI raid on Fulton county is a bad omen. We mustn’t sleep on this.
This giant ICE Army they are building this year is also likely to be at polling places during the midterms in heavily Democratic precincts with the excuse being that they are looking for “illegals trying to vote.”
Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

What did Putin say to Trump in Helsinki in 2018? They confiscated the translator’s notes. There was no US delegation in the room. If Trump is not working with Putin, is he working for him? If he weren’t, how could we tell the difference?
This agency is better funded than the military. What are they doing with the money?
1. ICE has STOPPED PAYING for medical treatment for its 73,000 detainees
ICE has not paid its bills to 3rd party providers since OCTOBER and the situation will likely persist for MONTHS, a Popular Information investigation reveals
Meanwhile, critically ill ICE detainees are not receiving care
🧵

ICE has stopped paying for detainee medical treatment
ICE halted payments in October, and the situation will persist for at least several more months
folks, this is some really weird shit. the president is not well.
Some perspective: The S&P opened down -1.3% on Trump's Greenland saber-rattling. That's $750 billion of wealth destroyed -- roughly equal to estimates of the value of Greenland.
And so ~in dollar terms~ his shenanigans have already cost the US one Greenland, and we've got nothing to show for it.
We would not. Let’s see if we get out of this mess with no nuclear weapons used.
If you have GOP reps, call them before Trump drags us into world war three.

This is where we are at. For what? For nothing. For stupidity. For ego. For an old, demented malignant narcissist who expects the world to jump at his every whim. Well, when you follow international news you can see that the world has pretty much had enough of his bullshit.
Pew Research Institute (2023):
• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants
• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants
• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.
And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."
It's *not* about immigration.
What the hell is in those files?
Since Congress passed a law requiring Trump to release the Epstein Files, Trump has:
- Tried to start a war with NATO over Greenland
- Threatened to use the military to suppress free speech in Minnesota
- Illegally withheld 99% of the files and heavily redacted the ones that were released
Silly woman! You knew I was a snake when you took me in!
Trump endorses a primary opponent against Bill Cassidy. He sold his soul to confirm RFK Jr, and Trump sticks it to him anyway. This is why it is even more disgusting that these cowards are afraid to stand up to him. He demands total fealty but has no loyalty to them.

“Even milliseconds or seconds of interrupted blood flow to the brain can have serious consequences,” one Harvard neurologist told us. There is no “method of applying pressure on the neck that is foolproof in terms of avoiding neurologic damage.”

We Found More Than 40 Cases of Immigration Agents Using Banned Chokeholds and Other Moves That Can Cut Off Breathing
Civilians have had apparent seizures. One had his eyes roll back. Another had ribs broken. “I felt like I was going to pass out and die,” said a 16-year-old citizen put in a chokehold. The government ...
Whatever is in those files must be the most horrible thing you don’t even want to imagine or know about.
FFS! Just Release the Epstein Files!
Agree.
