Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin. This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

Blatant corruption. Make America Russia. That’s the slogan MAGA should paste on their trucker hats.

"It isn’t just that Trump has ramped up his own personal self-dealing (though he has). Just as important, his administration is enacting a sweeping set of policy changes that will make it more likely that Americans will themselves be the victims of all kinds of scams." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

Both Rubio's tweet, and the response, are remarkable artifacts. You have a Secretary of State tweeting right wing talking points to defend Neo Nazis, and the country where Nazis originated telling him to sod off.

Such a petty small man. He can refuse to hang the portrait of Obama, but time will pass, and one day, this portrait will take its place in the WH, and serve as evidence of a dark time when a small man attempted to rule a democracy.

Two former Wells Fargo executives were fined $8.5M by the Biden administration for covering up the bank's infamous fake account scandal. Trump just slashed those fines to a paltry $150,000 after Wells Fargo gave $1M to his inauguration. See how this works?

Makes me wonder if Fox News didn’t cover the retailer CEO mtg with TFA when they warned him about empty shelves…and that’s why Bessent feels safe spewing this BS on Fox. Because it’s inconceivable Bessent didn’t hear the warning from the CEO’s who visited the White House

The Attorney General is so unserious. If you’re a prosecutor who is serious about obtaining a conviction, you don’t go on Fox and talk about the (alleged) facts of the case like this. Has Bondi read the Justice Manual? Has Bondi heard of pretrial publicity motions? How about bar ethics rules?

Last week, DHS and Secretary Noem's staff and spokespeople suggested that because Mr. Abrego Garcia had $1,100 in cash on him when arrested outside Home Depot seeking day labor, that was strong evidence that he was a member of MS-13. I guess that raises a similar question about her $3,000.
