Recovering FL Republican. Previously art and science daily, and now it turns out I'm just an anti-MAGA anti-DeSantis, troll. Known to hose Christian Nationalists with Bible verses. I have a hypocrisy trigger.
Paging Jake Tapper...
We had endless articles and TV clips about Biden's mental capacity but silence about Trump's obvious unfitness when he says he's going to start a war with Denmark over Greenland because he didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize.
Not the sort of letter committed to paper by a well man. "Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace"

Senate Democrats working on a bold plan to strongly oppose the invasion or purchase of Greenland by offering voters a system of Greenland Tax Credits via a means-tested GSA (Greenland Spending Account) that they can use on qualified Greenland-related expenses.

More unaccountable thuggery, via the AP Twitter account. After being screamed at not to knee him in the face, the agent...knees him in the face again. See for yourself

/2 In fact, I sure hope someone leaks those subpoenas to begin the social and professional annihilation of the attorneys involved.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic.

The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.
Breaking news: The Justice Department has issued subpoenas for Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey as part of an investigation alleging that they are impeding federal law enforcement officers’ abilities to do their jobs in the state.

I've never seen such an out of control agency. That's why as soon as I leave, I'm joining a group to file articles of impeachment against Noem"

Lindsey Halligan, along with Todd Blanche and Pam Bondi, go on the attack against Trump appointed federal Judge Novak in an extraordinary, pugilistic brief.

They accuse Novak of a “gross abuse of power” for asking why Halligan keeps falsely describing herself as a US Attorney.

In which case, every citizen in these states should resubmit their W-4s to reduce their federal income tax to zero, and add an extra contribution to their state income tax.

Performative, but still a good FAFO move. Make it a viral tick tock event.
This is why Democrats simply cannot work with Republicans in Congress on appropriations or anything else in good faith. Trump will illegally seize money appropriated to Democratic states, refuse them disaster aid, threaten them with Fed invasion, threaten their governors, etc.

Ford has caved to MAGA pressure and suspended TJ Sabula, the auto worker who called Trump a “pedophile protector” to his face today.

“I don’t feel as though fate looks upon you often — and when it does, you better be ready to seize the opportunity,” Sabula said.

Call me crazy, but I don't think the question of whether or not Bovino belongs in his job depends on whether or not he deletes the tweet he made calling protesters "cannon fodder." Making the tweet (along with many other things he's done) should disqualify him from any law enforcement job ever.
Rep. Lieu: “Greg Bovino last night made a post that essentially called protesters, ‘cannon fodder.’ He needs to delete that post, or he needs to resign…If Greg Bovino and the administration doesn't turn down the rhetoric, it's going to cause more people to get killed.”

I was wondering if we'd start seeing more stories of ICE/CPB harrassing the Hmong, who as a reminder, came here b/c they helped US in Vietnam War and also b/c we BOMBED THE SHIT out of their homelands.
"“They specifically asked me if I knew where the Hmong families lived on my street & in the neighborhood.” Lugert-Thom responded, “I don’t know anything about that” & she said they then asked, “Well, what about the Asian families?”"

"“I was a bit shaken & a bit shocked of what I was asked to do.”"
A St. Paul resident says federal officers knocked on her door and asked her to identify Hmong and Asian households in her North End neighborhood last week.

The White House is staffed from top to bottom with sycophants and enablers. Government lawyers — including federal prosecutors and FBI agents — would be among the most eager and capable government officials available to seize ballots and manufacture allegations of fraud.
Trump wishes he seized ballots in 2020. What does that mean for 2026?

It’s worth considering that an overnight dismantling of ICE in 2029 would release into the wild a whole herd of specialists in violence with scant other marketable skills.
