So the DOD started laser testing because they believed party balloons were drones, shut down all of El Paso airspace, and blamed it on Mexican cartels?

When the CIA did this to the Senate it was one of the biggest intel scandals of the 21st century. But here it’s not just a huge scandal, it’s dumb: Pam Bondi is so bad at her job she brought the evidence herself to an open congressional hearing. www.theguardian.com/world/2014/j...

To be clear, we're saying they have no money and no documentation but somehow they're snatching up homes? In this economy?
HUD Secretary Scott Turner: "When tens of millions of people come across our borders unchecked and unvetted and they take the homes that the American people are supposed to have, including HUD funded homes, that puts a strain on the housing supply"

It’s worth briefly explaining what happened with a vote in the House late last night, because it’s significant:

Mike Johnson and House Republican leaders tried to keep blocking Congress from voting on whether to roll back Trump’s tariffs on countries like Canada.
February 11, 2026 at 2:49 PM
Already this morning the Speaker has said:

1. 6 Dem members of Congress should’ve been indicted for speaking.

2. Democrats are stealing elections everywhere.

3. Congress should completely surrender their tariff authority to Trump. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Mike Johnson: "Their policies are so unpopular -- they are refuted and repudiated at the ballot box over and over -- so they feel they gotta cheat. Frankly, that's it."

in fact you do not have to show your ID when you board a train in the united states, you only need to show your ticket (which can be purchased without an ID)
Markwayne Mullin defends "show me your papers": "If you're here legally, there's nothing to hide. Most people already are walking around with a government-issued ID, meaning your Real ID or your driver's license. If you go board a train here, you gotta show your ID."

What it boils down to — a poll tax on folks w/o easy access to birth certificate or passport.

All in the name of "election protection." It's really about securing a permanent R majority by reducing power of The People. They know our vote is the last stand.

The new voter suppression bill—called the "Save America Act"—would require 21 million American citizens to produce passports or birth certificates to register to vote. Most don't have these documents. This is a poll tax by another name.

When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.

Can we talk about how batshit crazy it was for Trump to post that China was going to permanently cancel the Stanley Cup if Canada signs a trade deal with them, or do we just assume at this point that he’s completely psychotic?

BREAKING: After we sued, DHS withdrew a subpoena seeking personal information about our client who criticized DHS' treatment of a man seeking asylum.

This is a win not just for our client, but for everyone’s First Amendment right to speak out without fear of government retaliation.

Now that members of Congress are able to see what was redacted they are learning how Todd Blanche failed to comply with the law in countless instances, and it’s now about to get real because what DOJ was hiding is the most incriminating stuff.

We just shared the link from NBC about three warehouses being bought to house immigrants, but it now looks like we seriously underreported how many are being purchased. Based on information many of you have shared, the number appears to be over 26.
