The president had his DOJ raid an election office and prosecute political opponents while he threatens to take over elections, Sadly, this is treated by legacy media as just another normal day.

hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0Every American needs to watch this:
JUST IN: A federal judge has barred ICE and DHS from using taxpayer information provided by the IRS.
Judge Talwani says that DHS' view that noncitizens lack 4th amendment rights — combined with ICE use of administrative warrants — is a recipe for abuse.
storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...After latest release country should move on to Epstein trials.
There's exactly one normal man left on planet Earth.
Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.”
Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.
Q: “Why is the president bothered that they're investigating Bill Clinton and his Epstein ties?”
Leavitt: “I think that the president has respect for…Bill Clinton. He said yesterday himself they've shared a good relationship, and that's what he was reiterating in that NBC interview.”
Bad idea. ICE is pre-funded by the BBB. Also, CBP is just as bad if not worse and also pre-funded by the BBB. Severing ICE gives away any leverage we have to shut down the rest of DHS. We should be demanding to defund ICE/CBP of its BBB money and shut down ALL of DHS if they don’t agree.
I’m not sure we’ve properly addressed how profoundly disturbing it is that America can largely shrug at the stashing of human beings in giant warehouses.
Bad Bunny has now joined Taylor Swift as an artist that doesn't make music I am interested in listening to, but has my full support anyway.
Chris Murphy: “He’s telling you he wants to federalize national elections — he's telling you that he thinks he won Minnesota & Georgia & California, that the 2020 elections were rigged—
He’s trying to rewrite history & trying to make sure that nobody other than him & his allies win in 2026 & 2028”
Someone explain to me why the men’s names are redacted?
When the time comes, those payroll records are gonna be super helpful for hunting down all these human hunters
Despite judge’s order, ICE sent an immigrant to Mexico instead of back to Minnesota - The Minnesota Star Tribune
Despite judge’s order, ICE sent an immigrant to Mexico instead of back to Minnesota — The Minnesota Star Tribune
The government says the undocumented immigrant voluntarily left the U.S. His attorney is seeking a contempt of court finding as the federal courts remain overwhelmed by immigration cases.
Jeffrey Epstein’s brother Mark sent a tip to the FBI accusing Trump of authorizing his murder:
“I have reason to believe he was killed because he was about to name names. I believe Present Trump authorized is murder.“
Sadly, this actually sounds totally possible.
When you know you're next to testify.
I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside.
What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there?
I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.
Name them
shame them
So weird how this keeps happening.
www.haaretz.com/us-news/2026...The morning after mass layoffs, The Washington Post publishes this as their lead editorial. The owner and publisher clearly have no idea why they are losing subscribers. Meanwhile they have destroyed a storied brand.
Support independent media.

America, you have done some silly things recently, but failing to elect this man is right up there.
"We are now in a system of competitive authoritarianism. And it’s just about whether we manage to take our democracy back from that."

@ryanenos.bsky.social is so good on Harvard pulling back from surrender to Trump, and on need for institutions to fight:

Trump Spirals Into Crazed Fury After Harvard Humiliates Him Very Badly
As Trump rages at Harvard over leaks that he’s backtracking in his fight with the university, a Harvard political scientist explains why the stakes in this battle are far bigger than they seem.
This Homan presser is completely incoherent. He started by announcing a drawdown of 700 agents (good!) but then pivoted to whining about "rhetoric" (bad) and suggested there will be more bloodshed if it doesn't stop (grim). Not clear to me that anything is actually changing on the ground here in MN.
It is coming up. Not sure if there's enough votes or people to push it through yet, but it keeps coming up. Hopefully we will get there.

"ICE guys are pretty miserable. I don’t think morale is particularly high for them. They’re freezing, they’re getting shouted at. They can’t go anywhere without being tailed by 5 cars. They get out and immediately there's a crowd of 100 people shouting at them, blowing whistles as loud as they can."

Yes, FBI? I’m calling to report a murder.
We've had evidence since tRump's first term that he's a Putin asset. How much more evidence do we need?
I’m sharing Aliya’s entire opening statement. We owe it to her, and those who no longer have a voice, to watch.

WATCH: Minneapolis resident and U.S. citizen Aliya Rahman describes being detained by ICE

The United States Supreme Court gave Trump immunity from prosecution.
John Roberts, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett.
They ARE responsible for the Epstein files being hidden; they are responsible for Trump's MURDERS.
LET THAT SINK IN!
Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests
Whistleblower puts Tulsi on notice that he will go to Congress himself if her office doesn’t respond by Friday.
One lesson from the Epstein–Mandelson affair is that we need to stop routinely rehabilitating political careers after serious scandals.
When politicians knowingly engage in grave ethical wrongdoing, that should permanently end their political careers. Being "talented" should not override that.
But Bezos had $75 million to spend on Melania’s vanity project.
For those keeping score at home:
A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world
Evocative little exchange between Steve Bannon and Jeffrey Epstein in 2018. Epstein writes: "Dershowitz knows Clinton was never there."
Casar holds a 3 minute and 26 second moment of silence to represent the time in which DHS officers let Renee Good bleed out after she was shot
Sadly, this is the ICE M.O.: Assault innocent people and then tell elaborate lies to blame the victim. No judge should give any credence to anything a DHS lawyer says to them. They have proven themselves to be liars too often.
Garcia: I want to remind the American public of Stephen Miller. There's probably no single person in this government that has done more damage and more harm to people across this country than this man right here. It's our job to hold him responsible
How many boxes need to be checked for a banana republic dictator wannabe to actually gain the oligarch throne?
So far:
• Became filthy rich robbing the US
• Formed Führer's 'police' force
• Invaded states paramilitarily
• Elections takeover begun
• Unchecked power sought
• Executions begun
