Donald Trump has four years of all the leverage the United States can throw at the world and he never has to face his voters ever again.

What the hell did they think was going to happen?

A great moment from Oliver:

“While I would love to keep splitting hairs on whether a country’s starving kids is better or worse if those kids are already sick, let’s just table that discussion for when I see you in hell.”

James Comey, has filed a notice of his motion to dismiss challenging the lawfulness of the appointment of the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. The motion will be heard and determined by an "out-of-district judge."

Why @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, @chucktingle.bsky.social et al won't is clear: they THINK their reelection is locked up. They know the Americans who care don't have another option. And the second level leadership in the party is doing what they did with Biden: pretending nothing is wrong!

Remember when Stephen Miller claimed the Chicago apartment raid was on a building “filled with Tren de Aragua terrorists”?

Well, DHS has now dropped the number of alleged TdA members arrested in the building from 2 to 1.

Just one "verified" Tren de Aragua member and one U.S. citizen with an active warrant were among the 37, DHS said, without saying how it had verified that gang affiliation. Others taken that day, the agency said, were "illegal aliens."

Gasoline sells at a DEEPLY subsidized rate of 12.3¢ per gallon in Venezuela, but costs more than $4 per gallon in Trinidad which is just six miles away from the coast of Venezuela. There’s a much greater chance that Trump murdered people bootlegging gas than drugs.

Venezuela: The price of octane-95 gasoline is 0.84 Venezuelan Bolivar per liter. For comparison, the average price of gasoline in the world for this period is 30.93 Venezuelan Bolivar. The chart below shows the price of gasoline in the country relative to other countries.
Use the drop menu to see the prices in gallons. On the graph, the prices for the countries indicated with a * are updated on a weekly basis. The prices for the other countries are updated on a monthly basis because these countries have regulated fuel markets and prices do not change frequently.
The subsidized price of 0.1 USD on the chart is for the first 120 liters a month only for people with a valid Fatherland Card. Purchases above 120 liters per month are charged at 0.50 USD per liter. Also, the price listed on this page is the official gasoline price. However, during times of fuel shortages in Venezuela, there is a black market for fuel with prices that can exceed substantially the average international price levels.

Trump just bombed six more people in the Caribbean, for a total of 27 civilians who have been killed so far by the US military. It’s illegal for the military to target civilians who do not pose an immediate threat. This is murder.

I seem to recall that it was the biggest 1st Amendment attack in American history when the Biden admin alerted social media companies to some content and said "hey does this violate your policies?" Will Matt Taibbi, Michael Shellenberger and (lol) CBS News Editor in Chief Bari Weiss call this out?

Tweet from Pam Bondi:

Today following outreach from
@thejusticedept
, Facebook removed a large group page that was being used to dox and target
@ICEgov
agents in Chicago.

The wave of violence against ICE has been driven by online apps and social media campaigns designed to put ICE officers at risk just for doing their jobs. The Department of Justice will continue engaging tech companies to eliminate platforms where radicals can incite imminent violence against federal law enforcement.

To be clear, DHS posted on X that the 13-year-old was in possession of a firearm when he was arrested and used that post as their official statement on the matter. Now Everett mayor/police chief are saying it's not true. I've followed up with Tricia McLaughlin to ask if the department stands by it.

There had been reports that the boy had a gun on him, but Mayor DeMaria and the police chief said there was not a gun found on him.
