This should be an Iran-Contra level scandal and I don’t even know if it will make the front page in this news environment

This story is extraordinary even by 2025 standards. Marco Rubio, the nation's top diplomat, made a deal with Bukele and agreed to renege on informant agreements in a years-long DOJ investigation into MS-13, totally undercutting credibility of such agreements.

www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Rubio promised to betray U.S. informants to get Trump’s El Salvador prison deal

To secure U.S. access to President Nayib Bukele’s notorious CECOT prison, Rubio agreed to turn over several MS-13 leaders central to a long-running Justice Department investigation.

If the eagles ever used play action or quick slant passes, they’d be unstoppable.

Alas.

The shut-down federal government has money to shoot live ammunition over a densely packed freeway in a state they despise to intimidate civilians and disrupt commerce, but they don't have money to continue SNAP benefits to feed the hungry past November 1.

Make it make sense!

The British Empire committed unspeakable horrors and genocide to get their hands on spices now their descendants are so racist they think mayonnaise is too spicy.

Hughster @hughster.bsky.social · 2d

The British Right are just in total freefall into savagery at this point

I've never had curry or a kabab and don't intend to.
British food is the best. English breakfasts, Sunday roasts, fish and chips, pies, pasties, scones.
Also, our national dish isn't a chicken tikka masala we only think that because a Labour MP said it decades ago to push multiculturalism.

Not being even vaguely sarcastic:

At some point, a journalist needs to ask Johnson “you regularly claim you have no idea what your own government is doing. If we take you at your word, how are you so poorly informed, and do you this level of ignorance should disqualify you as speaker?”

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 2d

Q: What's your message to the 170 US citizens who have been detained by ICE? About 20 of them are children

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know what you're talking about with the children. I haven't seen that so I'm not going to comment on it.

there’s quite literally no purpose in continuing to pay taxes if they’re going to weaponize them against a majority of people paying them like this

NEW: White House announces it's going to pause, and potentially cancel, $11 billion in infrastructure funding (via the Army Corps of Engineers), specifically citing cities, like New York, represented or led by Democrats. More to come.

Once your organizing extends beyond maybe 30 people or so, it will immediately collapse if you’re not making lists
