As we get more reports of ICE thugs detaining Americans, it should be noted that Timothy Snyder made it crystal clear from the onset of ICE raids that NO ONE would be safe.

People tell ICE: "I'm an American." They illegally detain us anyway.

Bc WE already let them erode due process for immigrants.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back

The platform formerly known as Twitter may be horrible, but it is still shaping policy. So were we all wrong to leave?

Was the left wrong to leave X for BlueSky?

Det er ret klassisk efterhånden. Højrefløjspolitiker foreslår noget sindssygt, som at skyde flygtninger eller ophæve menneskerettighederne og medierne er sådan “😴🤷‍♂️”
Venstrefløjspolitiker der siger noget minimalt antikapitalistisk og medierne går fuld “ønsker du voldeligt anarki?!?!“

Ukraine's Foreign Ministry says the Trump administration is engaged in positive and nuanced technical discussions on the provision of Tomahawk missiles.
They contrast it with the Biden administration's blunt "No."
Zelensky also asked Trump for more ATACMS & GMLRS.

They often slide under the radar, but U.S. Customs and Border Protection is as bad as — and often worse than — ICE, which generates all the headlines.

If we make it through this it’s because the other side is dumb as rocks.

Tweet from Blue Georgia summarizing Chris Hayes on MSNBC: “New reporting from the Wall Street Journal tonight, that message Trump posted to Pam Bondi online was meant to be a DM he accidentally posted publicly… Pam was surprised, upset, called White House aides.” Below is a Wall Street Journal headline excerpt about Trump’s private message urging prosecution of James Comey, and a photo of Pam Bondi speaking.
