"OPEN THE FUCKIN POOL YOU CRAZY BASTARDS OR YOU WILL BE LIVING IN HELL"

Looking forward to this being the burden of proof during the next Democratic majority and administration. Very confident the press would accept this from leader Jefferies and ask no further questions or conduct more intellectual rigor than just nodding and cutting to the next segment.

I regret to inform you that the president is awake and crazy-posting
Trump: "If Iran surrenders, admits their Navy is gone and resting at the bottom of the sea, and their Air Force is no longer with us, and if their entire Military walks out of Tehran, weapons dropped and hands held high, each shouting 'I surrender, I surrender' while wildly waving the representative White Flag, and if their entire remaining Leadership signs all necessary 'Documents of Surrender,' and admit their defeat to the great power and force of the magnificent U.S.A., The Failing New York Times, The China Street Journal (WSJ!), Corrupt and now Irrelevant CNN, and all other members of the Fake News Media, will headline that Iran had a Masterful and Brilliant Victory over The United States of America, it wasn’t even close. The Dumacrats and Media have totally lost their way. They have gone absolutely CRAZY!!! President DJT"

the thing about this is that it’s still shocking, because they don’t believe it, either. the whole thing is a troll, it’s intended to make the rubes do seal claps and make the rest of us bay like hounds at them, and we’re all paying them for the pleasure.

It is worth saying that it appears that the brave and principled actions of people of Minneapolis and the killings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good seem to have been a legitimate inflection point in American politics. We should carry that forward with us.

Claims that my dick can cure cancer have also been greatly exaggerated, but no one is printing that in the news (because the exaggeration that something that does not do a thing can in fact do it is not an exaggeration, it is just a lie, and we shouldn't print those in the papers)

I feel sick to my stomach waiting around to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's an indictment not just of voters but of our whole system. We're ruled by a mad king.

There's a lot of appropriate dunking on how Republicans live in fear of imaginary hypotheticals; but there's a stranger side to this question: from Iran's point of view, wars like this one are exactly why many there pursue a nuclear program. "Imagine if America bombs our civilians, we need nukes."

WOW. 19 people, all who were imprisoned and mistreated in a foreign prison at the direct command of the United States, are brave enough to say “We are innocent, and we will endure more time imprisoned to prove that.” I can only admire the enormous courage such a move takes.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.
The Gravamen of the Disclosure

4. The gravamen of the disclosure is as follows: 
a. By memorandum dated May 12, 2025 (“the May 12 Memo”), Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons authorizes ICE agents to forcibly enter into certain people’s homes without a judicial warrant, consent, or an emergency.

b. Specifically, in the May 12 Memo, the Acting ICE Director authorized ICE Agents to rely on Form I-205 (which is not a judicial warrant) to enter the residence of an alien subject to a final order of deportation, without consent, including by “a necessary and reasonable amount of force.”2c. While addressed to “All ICE Personnel,” in practice the May 12 Memo has not been formally distributed to all personnel. Instead, the May 12 Memo has been provided to select DHS officials who are then directed to verbally brief the new policy for action. Those supervisors then show the Memo to some employees, like our clients, and direct them to read the Memo and return it to the supervisor.

ICE should be dismantled immediately.  I will not support funding for the Department of Homeland Security when ICE and Border Patrol agents are assaulting protestors, detaining and arresting people with impunity, inciting violence, and shooting and killing American citizens.  Read my statement:

On the right, a masked ICE agent in tactical gear with an “ICE” patch visible on the chest. White overlaid text reads: The Trump administration has weaponized ICE and Border Patrol, turning those agencies into masked, hostile police forces that are terrorizing the American people.
