With a gag order lifted, this account by @kos.dailykos.com of a legal confrontation between @dailykos.com and Trump Justice is a must-read. They were stupid to come after Markos and his community. Which they found out. www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...
dailykos.com
The DOJ came after Daily Kos. Here’s the full story.
Last year, on June 26, I wrote a story headlined, “Trump’s DOJ is targeting Daily Kos.” At the time, I couldn’t explain what was happening. A gag order prevented it. Now I can.

Pulling 5,000 troops from Germany isn’t a strategy—it’s a handout to Putin and a violation of the law. Trump is using our military to settle personal scores with allies while we’re at war. Congress must enforce the NDAA guardrails and stop this. Substack link in comments.

ICE and CBP agents seem to enjoy gratuitously breaking glass—from car windows to store fronts to homes. It’s an expression of unchecked power and dominance: “We’re in charge. We break and shatter what we want.” And nights of broken glass have been a harbinger of worse to come.

Seeing that photo of Obama putting the Medal of Freedom on Tom Homan circulate again. It's fake. Homan did get a civil service award during the Obama administration, but it wasn't the Medal of Freedom, it wasn't a medal (it was a certificate), and Obama didn't present it to him in person.

This never happened. This is a fabricated assertion. I’ve covered immigration for decades and covered Obama critically. If ICE shot at killed 23 people across 26 states there would have been outrage. You just made this up.

@monkieboy99
ICE agents shot people during the Obama administration. ICE was involved in at least 59 shootings, resulting in 24 injuries and 23 deaths across 26 states 

The difference isn’t that it didn’t happen- it’s that it didn’t get the same national attention. Manufactured outrage.
