It’s a coup.
Not Epstein’s bestie Jean Luc Brunel living in Trump Tower, surely.
Also, Gerald Marie was Brunel’s partner in MC2? That’s MC squared, you know. E=MC2.
Reporters, hmu for more.

Since when did we start allowing Office of Legal Counsel memos (DHS in this case), to hold more power than the Constitution? Oh, right…waterboarding.

Well, it’s more of a concept of a framework if you think about it. We’ll revisit the tariffs in two weeks when I fire the Fed Chair and install Scott Bessent to lower interest rates, right Scott, I probably shouldn’t have said that. But we’re taking Iceland, ICE is in Minnesota and the frame works.

Prepare now because FEMA lost thousands of personnel to help you. Ice storms are no joke. Make sure you have the things you need stay warm, hydrated, fed, medicated, and safe. Power outages could be long lasting. Think weeks, not days. youtu.be/YvII1Yib96k?...

He didn’t say it.
If he said it, it was a joke.
If he said it, and it was a mistake, and you didn’t see him say it, he didn’t say it.
If he said it, and it was a mistake and you saw it, it was AI.
If he said it, and it wasn’t a mistake, and you saw it, and it wasn’t AI, we have to invade Iceland.

After trump’s latest international embarrassment, I look forward to reading the very strongly worded letter Chuck Schumer will write in the coming weeks.

French judge explains how Trump sent people from the US Embassy to try to intimidate her during Marine Le Pen's trial for embezzlement — and details how he has used similar fascistic tactics to intimidate other judges around the world who rule against his alt-right friends.

“For national security reasons, we have to take Montreal.”

No, Mr. President. We said, “for national security reasons, you have to take the Montreal test again.”

A functioning department of justice may have opposed such a motion, but alas here we are in judge cannon’s courtroom asking for vol 2 of Jack Smith’s report of his espionage investigation to be permanently buried. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

President Woodrow Wilson bought land from Denmark for national security reasons over 100 years ago. That land is now known as the US Virgin Islands. Fun, right?

Members of Congress had close to 100 years of historical hindsight to answer the question, ”What would you do if another madman came along and threatened the safety of the world?” And the best they could come up with is nothing.

Way to go SCOTUS! Complete immunity so long as he claims ”national security“. Not only can he do whatever he wants, you’ve given cover for the GOP to do sweet fuck all about it.
This President is unhinged. Our colleagues across the aisle who control both chambers MUST take action. Silence and inaction are not an option.

If Jack Smith’s testimony is anything like his deposition, Jim Jordan will wither like a small coward in a ball in the corner while the republican side of the dais peppers Smith with questions about legally obtained cell phone records.
Did you catch that special coverage announcement at the end of the show?

On Thursday morning, former special counsel Jack Smith will be testifying to Congress. That evening Rachel and the gang will break down that testimony in extended special coverage from the long desk.

Letter from a Birmingham Jail resonates through history and applies to our current day. Platitudes will be made by ideological descendants of those the letter was addressed to. This years quote:

Project 2026: Trump’s Plan to Rig the Next Election

From nationalizing voter suppression to flooding the streets with federal agents, the president and his allies are using all the tricks in the authoritarian playbook to tilt the midterms in their favor.

Completely normal appeasement of a toddler who in no way is pathetic and weak. He can put this next to the Purple Heart earned by a soldier in Walter Reed which trump received based on his long suffering through the Bowling Green Massacre, and of course the Battle of the Bone Spurs. What a legend.

When the president is “cleaning the place up”, it means he is engaging in ethnic cleansing.

It amazes me how swiftly the second amendment crowd would murder the first amendment in the name of a tyrant violating the 14th amendment because of their staunch Constitutionalist beliefs.

The problem is not immigration, it‘s not crime, it‘s not even that the Governor almost became VP. The problem is Hair Fewer has been looking to invoke the insurrection act since Jan 20, 2025 and he needs an excuse to do so. The solution was to kill a citizen.

PS-Somalia runs UN sec council, fwiw.
Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

Well, at least it looks like he isn’t shaking as many hands.
Bless the Ford worker who called Donald Trump a pedophile protector to his face today, which made President Pedo Protector throw up his tiny middle finger.

Don’t let impeachment come as a surprise, the Democrats should be explaining daily why it should be an inevitability.

If there are still approximately 2m Epstein files yet to be released, how big is Pamela Jo’s desk?

Maybe this wasn’t about Somalian daycare centers after all.
ICE just broke a woman’s windows and yanked her out of her car at Park and 34 in Minneapolis. This is after a crowd gathered while ICE raided a home.
