ICE BEHIND THE MASKS HAVE NAMES 2 masked agents threatened to arrest Robert Peck for legally observing them. He sued. “And now, because of a lawsuit, the (ICE) agents have names.” A Hylton 📌Nicholas Lapointe 📌Christopher Semler I hope more people take ICE to court when their rights are violated.

HOLY SHIT - Tapper plays Johnson footage of GOP candidate Brandon Herrera describing moms as "cum trophies," mentions he called Nazi machine guns "the original ghetto blasters," & asks Johnson how he can support him. Mike says "he has run a very effective campaign ... that was his persona online"

“Small potatoes.” That’s how Donald Trump feels about the war he started in Iran. Tell that to the families of the 18 troops we’ve lost, the hundreds of wounded servicemembers, and the Americans suffering every single day from record high prices. There's nothing small about it.

Thank Mother Nature for @sarahkendzior.bsky.social
The Senate will have to convict Trump for him to be legally obligated to leave, and even then, he won't go. He'll likely cite his SCOTUS immunity as proof that convictions do not apply. The Democrats should impeach him anyway. The excuse they give for not impeaching Trump is that it's "bad PR" or "a waste of time". But you know what gives the Democrats bad PR? Wasting time attacking a Twitch streamer while the US is hijacked by a transnational mafia.

I think the general consensus of people around the world is that Americans can get fooled by a con man once, but to return him to power a 2nd time after having seen his corruption, incompetence, ignorance, & buffoonery, the problem isn’t just Trump it’s the American people.

First came the collapse of colonial empires. Then, the collapse of the last vestiges of those, the so-called "superpowers." A just global order calls for a more equitable division of power among states. What Carney is getting at is a major historical watershed that is, I believe, well under way.

Newsom nails it. Trump isn’t just whining about elections—he’s conditioning people to accept the next attack on one. Call it what it is: a plan to intimidate voters, rig the rules, and declare any result he dislikes illegitimate. He’s not hiding the playbook. He’s laying it all out in plain sight.
