They’re telling me a great empire will be destroyed if I attack Persia. Even the oracles who don’t like me very much, very nasty, they all said to me, “Sir, it’s one of the great empires, and it’ll be destroyed. And all because you attacked Persia.” That’s what they’re telling me.

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

My thoughts on Stephen A Smith potentially running for president are: Could we please stop fucking electing celebrities and get back to the business of running the country with boring people who just want to do a good job. Thanks

An exchange from the series Firefly between one of the protagonists and a mercenary bounty hunter has lived rent free in my head for 20+ years, and has sadly been on my mind a lot recently-- River: You like to hurt folk. Jubal Early: It's part of the job. River: It's why you took the job.

Court-watchers confirm this cruel ICE agent has been reinstated. Last week, in the briefest moment of decency, violently throwing a woman to the floor was “beneath the men and women of ICE.” This week, it’s back to business as usual. The cruelty, after all, is the point.

The rule of law is under attack. We have to zealously defend anyone— even the most ideologically despised among us— from arbitrary government. John Bolton today. A liberal tomorrow. Unless the government comes with serious and unimpeachably credible evidence of wrongdoing, we should be outraged.

Hegseth pauses weapons shipments to Ukraine without telling the White House. Grenell and Rubio accidentally negotiate a prisoner swap at cross purposes and botch the whole thing. Bondi can’t get the story straight on the Epstein files. Trump slowly realizes Putin is bad. Pathetic.

This is a lie (as usual). While I disagree with the decision, IT LEAVES THE INJUNCTIONS OF THE BIRTHRIGHT EO IN PLACE, just narrows them to the plaintiffs. And it does not limit nationwide class actions, which will be filed to achieve the identical outcomes. The EO remains unconstitutional.

BREAKING: A federal judge BLOCKS Trump's National Guard deployment in Los Angeles. He briefly pauses the ruling from taking effect until tomorrow at noon. DEVELOPING story, @AllRiseNews.com www.allrisenews.com/p/trump-troo...
At this early stage of the proceedings, the Court must determine whether the President followed the congressionally mandated procedure for his actions. He did not. His actions were illegal—both exceeding the scope of his statutory authority and violating the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. He must therefore return control of the California National Guard to the Governor of the State of California forthwith.
