Actually you did vote for this, dipshit
Erick Erickson: Talked to a friend whose business has been hit hard by diesel and tariffs. He vented, "I voted for him, but I didn't vote for this." Real frustration out there.

We've had other corrupt administrations, but I don't think we've ever had one that's been so open about the idea that breaking the law is plan A.

Police officers have repeatedly used Flock's surveillance network to access data about people they know and track their whereabouts. This is indefensible, warrantless surveillance — help put a stop to it at aclu.org/gtfo_
"Flock collects over 20 billion license plate scans each month in over 5,000 U.S. communities. Flock’s cameras capture: What your car looks like; Where you go; Who’s in the car — down to race, tattoos, and whose jersey you’re wearing." Image of a surveillance camera. ACLU logo.

"Reluctantly," a federal judge dismisses the Oath Keepers seditious conspiracy cases. Trump DOJ "excuses criminal acts that caused a centuries-long pillar of our democracy—the peaceful transfer of presidential power—to buckle." "The court cannot write a different ending," he adds. buff.ly/NvVKnaW
This is the last of the prosecutions seeking to hold accountable those responsible for the events of January 6. That book is now closed. Today’s epilogue diminishes the gravity of that day, denigrates the work of the prosecutors and law enforcement officers who secured these convictions, and excuses criminal acts that caused a centuries-long pillar of our democracy—the peaceful transfer of presidential power—to buckle. The court cannot write a different ending.

The Trump administration issued subpoenas seeking phone records of not just journalists but also their relatives. It’s disgraceful. Even the Mafia considers family members off limits. The court should quash the subpoenas and consider sanctions on the DOJ. @trevortimm.bsky.social explains.

After federal agents shot Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, a New Yorker sent ICE's director an email in January comparing him to a Nazi. This week, DHS agents stalked him across New York. His home. A hotel. They gave his wife a letter warning of criminal prosecution. www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...
Two DHS agents on a doorbell camera.“You are a monstrous human being and will go down in history as America’s Reinhard Heydrich, the butcher.

“The way you are protecting the obvious execution in Minnesota, even as we see the videos, will lead to your downfall. Even Trump will turn on you before the end, and you will be a sad, despised man who eats himself alive with shame at your own pathetic weakness.

“You will never know peace. You will seek to lose yourself, to escape the burden of knowing the truth about yourself. But wherever you go, you will find yourself. You will torment yourself until your last day on Earth.”
