When a Democrat is president, the press only cares about the swing voters who oppose him. When a Republican is president, the press only cares about the conservative voters who support him.

Eyewitness video from the scene of today's ICE shooting in California appears to (you guessed it) contradict officials' claims that the man "weaponized" his vehicle. The car is reversing and the agents appear to be well clear of it.
A small black car is reversing while an agent stands about six feet away from the driver's side door with his pistol raised.

If America still had the rule of law, this would be the easiest prosecution ever, but we all know absolutely nothing will happen.
Six accounts on Polymarket made around $1 million in profit by betting on the US to strike Iran by Feb. 28, according to analytics firm Bubblemaps SA. The accounts were all freshly created in February and had only ever placed bets on when US strikes might occur. Some of their shares were purchased, in some cases at roughly a dime apiece, hours before the first explosions were reported in Tehran.

From the start of his political career, Donald Trump campaigned against the idea of regime change. Yet, Trump has launched an illegal & baseless war on Iran – the exact type of Middle East conflict that the president & his top officials claimed he would never start. Read: zeteo.com/p/team-trump...

During the U.S. and Israel attack in Iran on Saturday, dozens of people, most of them likely children, were killed when a strike hit a girls’ elementary school in Minab and a high school in Tehran, according to Iranian health officials, state media and a human rights group.

Would have been amazing if there had been any coordinated opposition at all to war with Iran from Democrats. Would’ve been really cool. Seems like an opposition party would’ve done that. Wonder why they didn’t.

While Republicans fully support Trump's war with Iran, Democratic leaders do not oppose it. There is no effective opposition. Hakeem Jeffries is merely demanding that the administration "must explain itself to the American people and Congress" and "provide an ironclad justification."
@RepJeffries on X: Donald Trump promised to keep America out of costly and endless foreign wars.

He is now doing the exact opposite in the Middle East.

Congress must vote on a War Powers resolution immediately.

This is why when conservatives tout “law and order,” it’s always been a dog whistle to justify the weaponization of the law against minority groups and political enemies, because the moment the law doesn’t align with their narrow world view, they disregard it completely

Trump not watching the TPUSA halftime show that was made specifically to cater to his base so that he could watch & complain about Bad Bunny is perfectly emblematic of the entire way he approaches politics. He’s more interested in inflaming his base’s anger than supporting what it ostensibly wants.

Marco Rubio, June 2012.
National Review article excerpt. It reads: "On the other hand, when I hear some people accuse immigrants of destroying the American economy and culture and stealing jobs from American citizens, it stirs my anger, too. I can’t stand to hear immigrants described in terms more appropriate to a plague of locusts than human beings. And although I believe they are a small minority, I begin to wonder if some of the people who speak so disparagingly about immigrants would be just as worked up if most of them were coming from Canada."

🚨 The Trump regime's unhinged stormtrooper dept, ICE, is armed w/guns along w/powerful tools of the surveillance state. It can get into your digital convos & personal info without physically accessing your phone. 🧾 ICE Is Going on a Surveillance Shopping Spree (EFF): www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...
If ICE can’t get physical access to your phone, that won’t stop them from trying to gain access to your data. They have also resumed a $2 million contract with the spyware manufacturer, Paragon. Paragon makes the Graphite spyware, which made headlines in 2025 for being found on the phones of several dozen members of Italian civil society. Graphite is able to harvest messages from multiple different encrypted chat apps such as Signal and WhatsApp without the user ever knowing. 

Our concern with ICE buying this software is the likelihood that it will be used against undocumented people and immigrants who are here legally, as well as U.S. citizens who have spoken up against ICE or who work with immigrant communities. Malware such as Graphite can be used to read encrypted messages as they are sent, other forms of spyware can also download files, photos, location history, record phone calls, and even discretely turn on your microphone to record you.
