Is there a compound word in German that means “I knew I shouldn’t have had that last cup of coffee but also knew I was going to have it and now I also have some regrets?”

Perhaps ICE will grab him, as he looks like their concept of an illegal alien....

Schiff: "You begin to wonder -- do they believe they have the authority by putting some groups on a list, even domestic groups, to use lethal force against them, with no trial, no due process, no nothing? The reality is we can't rule that out."

Country fans are upset with Zach Bryan after he criticized ICE in a song.

But don't let it be known that Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Johnny Cash all despised fascism and leaned heavily to the left.

Perhaps now the nearly 90 million eligible voters who could not be bothered to vote in the last election will reconsider and get to the polls in 2026. Elect enough Representatives and Senators to stop demented trump and evil minions from progressing with their surge to Autocracy!

"Motion To Vacate"

When will one of you REPUBS, step up to the microphone and say this?

Mike Johnson has to go. This blatant lie to the American people. He said it forcefully. He said it with conviction and passion.

"Trump was an undercover agent in the FBI"

A federal judge just asked the government if they're the cause of the violence in Chicago - whether this is of their own making.

Jon Seidel @jonseidel.bsky.social · 8h

Perry asks directly whether the feds started the alleged violence in Chicago.

She asks whether it matters if the inability to execute the law was "caused by the federal agents."

Hamilton: "No, your honor."

They're going out of their way to hurt us.

And they're using our money to do it.

Patients rationing insulin costs the US $1.5 billion a year. $800 million would provide insulin for free to everyone.

Homelessness costs the US $100 billion+ a year. Ending homelessness would cost under $20 billion.

Doing the wrong thing is expensive.

We’re watching an entire political party actively protect the single most infamous sex-trafficking operation of our time.

This isn’t just silence—it’s complicity at the highest level.

This is that "plenary" authority Stephen Miller was referring to in the now edited CNN interview. Arguing that the president's deployment of troops is unreviewable by the courts is arguing that his power is plenary.

Jon Seidel @jonseidel.bsky.social · 9h

Hamilton insists the president's decision is "unreviewable."

I feel like a broken record, but I have to keep saying it over and over again: a farmer bailout won’t do much of anything because the market is gone. There will be no incentive to plant next year.

The bailout will help payoff farmer debt to the banks. That’s all.

How come not a single ICE agent have been arrested ? Federal agents can violate the law and cannot be charged if they committed them in federal properties like buildings and federal land but if committed in state property, area or land they could be charged as far as I know ,correct me if I'm wrong
