That’s amazing. It’s frightening to know we have people like that in leadership roles that are supposed to protect us from ACTUAL terrorist threats - like that of domestic violent extremist white nationalist organizations.

Something to keep an eye on is the politics of FL.

For the longest time, Cuban immigrants have had a special status that caused them to look down upon other immigrants and to side with RACISTS again and again.

That sense of superiority is being dismantled. Most Cubans in FL are still staunchly

I don't think people are really processing the fact that the sitting U.S. President and his team — and maybe the Supreme Court — and maybe half the Congress — want to force us to accept that we should obey the President and not the Constitution.

I don't know what news would be bigger than that.

If you’re looking for something to do, start working on overturning citizens united in your state. States control the power corporations have. Take their political power away with a ballot initiative. Here’s how: open.substack.com/pub/robertre...
How to Get Rid of "Citizens United"
We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.

WALKINSHAW: Are you familiar with the Proud Boys?

GLASHEEN: I'm familiar with the name

WALKINSHAW: Does the FBI still designate them as an extremist organization? They did during Trump's first term

GLASHEEN: We are in the process right now of changing our, uh, categories for domestic terrorism

President Donald Trump claimed Thursday that he has issued a “full pardon” to Tina Peters — the Colorado election denier serving a nine-year state sentence — even though presidents have no constitutional authority to pardon state-level crimes. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Based on the rapid pace of Trump’s mental decline, which only exacerbates his malignant narcissism, repulsive behavior, megalomania, and habitual lying, 2026 is going to be a rough year.

This presidential “pardon,” as it’s for a state crime, is the equivalent of digital toilet paper, only flimsier and serving a less useful purpose.

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

I don’t know how else to say it…

one of the worst days of the crumbling Trump presidency: loses In indiana, loses in Kilmar Abrego Garcia case, loses in Tish James grand jury, loses in House vote to override union busting EO, and FBI embarrassed in inability to answer basic questions about ANTIFA (which is not an organization)

The cruel irony of Republicans voting down ACA subsidies is that it will end up hurting Trump voters the most.

57% of ACA Marketplace enrollees live in congressional districts represented by a Republican.

They're selling out their own voters.

Trump’s White House just threatened sanctions against the International Criminal Court unless they promise lifelong immunity for Trump, Pence, and top officials.

That’s right — they’re trying to bully the world’s top war crimes court into never prosecuting them.

What are they so afraid of?

I think it should be the TOP job and mission of the DNC to make sure not a single GOP held seat goes uncontested in 2026. NOT A SINGLE ONE.

Do you agree?

Literally one of the main reasons why FBI missed Jan6 is bc Bill Barr had the FBI chasing Antifa.

All the Proud Boys had been turned "informants" on Antifa.
You’ve got to assume that any real organised crime or terror groups in the US know the FBI isn’t tracking them as closely as they used to.

That could be very bad indeed – and if so, you can expect to see the clips of congressional testimony like today’s many, many times.
Kinda wild that the organization the FBI considers the biggest domestic threat is ... largely imaginary.
