NEW: #CO4 GOP Rep Lauren Boebert says she opposes Trump’s “detrimental” war on Iran, but said that Congress can’t stop the war through show votes. “Your job is to vote,” said Democrat Eileen Laubacher.

WASHINGTON—Trump’s federal agents raid Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home over decades-old “immigration paperwork” her father filled out when she was a kid. No charges. Breaking DOJ norms. Over the cliff, folks.

The point is the ICC could charge Americans but has not

Fal Rising @falrising.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
Being outside the ICC’s jurisdiction does not stop it from charging someone. Israel did not agree to be subject to its jurisdiction either, yet Netanyahu has an arrest warrant. And the ICC does have jurisdiction if he or any charged American travels to any of the 125 countries that recognize it.

Rubio says the US is sanctioning the ICC to stop it from prosecuting service members, border patrol, and elected officials. The ICC has never even charged an American or hinted it will pursue the Trump admin. It's an admission that he knows DHS and DOD are committing international crimes.

Shitbag Trump, Jeffrey Epstein’s best friend, who was found liable for sexual abuse / rape in court, sanctioned the ICC because the Nobel Peace Prize went to Navi Pillay, a former ICC judge who helped establish rape as an act of genocide. Let that sink in. Rubio fully complicit.

“If you clap a little bit more, I may share this prize with Trump." Nobel winner Navi Pillay has jokes, but unlike Trump, she’s devoted her life to justice. She chaired the UN inquiry into Israel's genocide in Gaza, served on ICC tribunals for Rwanda and Myanmar, and was Mandela's defense lawyer.

There’s more at stake in Brazil’s election than democracy. Brazil holds 60% of the Amazon, critical to the global climate. Deforestation fell to a decade low under Lula after surging 60% under Bolsonaro. Flávio Bolsonaro has pledged to reverse that by ending illegal deforestation by 2029.

Fal Rising @falrising.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
Brazil... Your Supreme Court defended democracy by sentencing former President Bolsonaro to prison for insurrection. You had shown the world that you weren't going to make the same mistake the U.S. did with Trump. Only to put his son on the verge of the presidency. What a disappointment.

Eric Schmitt was warned about the Jack Smith texts. He used them anyway.
As Republicans on Capitol Hill try to figure out how Eric Schmitt’s bombshell fell apart so embarrassingly, it turns out he was warned that the texts were unvetted.
