By the way this press release you’d think the LASD deputy got attacked by a barista. Instead, it’s about someone allegedly drawing a pig on the deputy’s cup.

once again: ICE is operating as if they have a general warrant, the specific type of warrant the founders were most concerned about when drafting the 4th Amendment
Not remotely legal. Minnesota needs to arrest these thugs breaking down doors right now, before they start grabbing even more power

Church full of white people in the Midwest literally singing “we will abolish ICE” and guys like Chuck Schumer can’t bring themselves to say they will maybe possibly not give them another million dollars

The horrific prospect that China cuts Trump off at the knees by helping to dramatically reduce oil demand.
China now dominates global production of renewable energy technologies. It makes 80% of the world’s solar cells, 70% of its wind turbines, and 70% of its lithium batteries, at prices no competitor can match.

That makes me feel happy deep down, as it is what his memory deserves. I’m sorry he was murdered. I’m not sorry he is memorialized accurately.

I do not think he is doing these things to distract from the Epstein files.
Let's be clear. Donald Trump will indict the Fed Chair, kidnap foreign leaders and kill American citizens in MN if it distracts you from asking WTF is in the Epstein files because HIS BASE doesn't like pedophiles. None of this is normal. But everything he does is from weakness right now.

I believe American democracy has a future, and in 20 years young adults will say, why the fuck didn’t this guy get impeached and removed 100 times.

I ask this every day. But I know the answer.

Unfortunately for Powell, the Roberts Supreme Court specifically ruled that the president cannot be legally accused of making a bad-faith, pretextual prosecution, but is “absolutely immune” from any questioning of his motives for investigating or prosecuting whoever he chooses

It should astound and shock us that Greg Bovino has a larger security detail than all but perhaps three Cabinet secretaries. This is what it looks like when he uses the bathroom.

Next week, SCOTUS hears oral argument in Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook’s challenge to Donald Trump’s attempt to fire her.

Trump claimed he had “cause” to do so based on allegations of mortgage fraud. Will be interesting to see if Trump’s latest effort to manufacture cause colors Cook’s case.

Did he just attempt to rob all the creditors that have been waiting nearly 20 years to get paid? Most of whom are the same oil companies he is demanding lose more money?
🇺🇸🇻🇪 Trump signed an emergency order blocking courts and creditors from seizing Venezuelan oil revenue held in U.S. Treasury accounts.

The White House said the funds should be used to stabilize Venezuela after the capture of Maduro.
