It's not a new observation at this point but that wild Noem/Lewandowski story in WSJ really brings home the extent to which all the Trump 2 cabinet-level goblins see their jobs as flying private, doing short-form video, and screaming at underlings. They all hate each other and none of them can read.

ICE conducts daylight executions of civilians and uses children as bait, they are decades beyond reformable.
This is why there must be a full, independent investigation of every incident that ICE has been involved in. DHS and this administration cannot be trusted to carry out investigations on their own.

And it’s why Democrats are fighting to rein in ICE.

"wages have been flat for decades" is an extremely simple, obviously true concept that explains about 80% of all handwringing op-eds and for some reason they just won't say that

I don't know why Newsom's 2026 Ronald Reagan Day proclamation is suddenly going viral but for the record he has done this every year in office and I have the receipts for you. (I make this thread only to further point out that Gavin is a shitheel but also proclamations like this are widespread.)

Anyone currently involved in federal immigration enforcement, every officer, every bureaucrat, every lawyer, every judge, is a member of the most evil group of people this country has seen since Reconstruction. Darkness personified, every one. Doing this to children is beyond depraved.
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

As a direct result of the obscene actions of Russell Vought and Elon Musk in destroying USAID, we can expect “at least 9.4 million additional deaths by 2030, if the current funding trend continues.

About 2.5 million of those deaths are projected to be children under the age of 5.”

The Project 2025 author is using millions of dollars in USAID money for his own security detail.

It is estimated that 762,000 people have *already died* as a result of Elon Musk and Russell Vought’s obscene murder of USAID, including more than 500,000 children.

Vought is a mass murderer.

There have been hugely successful campaigns to fight prison and jail construction across the country, especially in rural areas. These bring together hunters, environmentalists, Indigenous people, prison abolitionists, and immigrant advocates as well as people concerned about land use.

These people are allowed to be degenerates because they’ve earned their impunity through their connection to Trump, while the poor people and especially immigrants they target for having a record of drug use deserve nothing but hellish misery.

You cannot claim to be restructuring city government while silencing the voices of the people. As I began to speak to the charter commission tonight on its stalled police accountability reforms, they cut the mic.

Watch the moment the Commission chose bureaucracy over the community. (1/3)
