Tribunals & Trials 2026
ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

The important thing about this advice, aside from its general correctness, is that it doesn’t rely on asking or demanding or begging Republicans to do anything.
Republicans who pretend to be concerned about political violence when their culture of political violence splashes back on them need to be loudly shouted down and chased out of the public square.
BREAKING:
Sen. Elissa Slotkin says police responded to her home tonight in response to a bomb threat. Slotkin wasn't at home at the time.
This is two days after Trump said Slotkin and other Democrats committed "seditious conspiracy, punishable by death."

Donald Trump has spent the last decade as an advocate for destroying this country’s health care system, especially Obamacare. Despite this the New York Times is happy to print up propaganda bullshit like this.

I’m not sure if the deepest mindset vibe of this episode is that Archeology Is A Religion or that Podcasts Will Bring Down Capitalism, but either way there’s a lot to think about here.

DOGE did not fail in any way to accomplish its goals.
Its goals were never efficiency or saving money.
Its goals were to destroy as much of government as possible forever, and to steal data for the Space Nazi.
DOGE is fading away like bank robbery gangs fade away after the robberies are done.

The Department of Government Efficiency claimed to have slashed tens of billions of dollars in expenditures, but it was impossible for outside financial experts to verify that because the unit did not provide detailed public accounting of its work.

I’m sorry, but the biggest crime here is the fucking gilded doodad bullshit superglued to every goddam surface in the most historic and symbolic room in the entire country so they can make Comrade Carat thinks he’s the actual reincarnation of King motherloving Midas.
“Massive corruption going on in the White House. The Swiss gave [Trump] a personalized gold bar… Qatar gave him a jumbo jet… [Trump] pardoned a criminal because that person…helps his family with crypto. The amount of corruption is… unconscionable.”

It’s gotten to the point where the #framewashing is a story about death threats from the president to obscure the story about actual extra-judicial deaths ordered by the president.
What's weirdly missing from coverage of the Dem video is any discussion of this Q: Is it reasonable to fear Trump is giving illegal orders, or not? The answer is, yes, of course it is.
On the boat bombings, for instance, evidence is extensive. Here's a look at it:
