Trump’s fundraisers are now using the threat of dispatching ICE against citizens as an email engagement tactic.

NO SENATE VOTE TONIGHT

Couldn’t get all senators to allow a speedy vote. Schumer tells reporters Lindsey Graham is blocking it. “That’s the holdup,” Schumer tells reporters. Graham wants to keep a provision letting him sue to pocket $500,000 over J6 phone records seized.

under the plain meaning of Trump v. US, Trump had the unchallengeable authority to sue the US government for damages and to order the DOJ to default
the president of the united states should not be allowed to personally loot the treasury to the sum of ten billion dollars and that this is not resulting in immediate, unanimous impeachment is a dramatic indictment of what has become of our political system
President Trump has filed a lawsuit against the IRS, in which he demands that the IRS, which he as president controls, pay him $10 billion.

DHS says ICE agents need to wear face masks because doxxing is happening and assaults are spiking. But, according to their press releases, no agent has been doxxed and assaulted since Trump came back to the White House.
ICE’s excuse for wearing masks has never actually manifested
There have been incidents of harassment and threats. But there are no apparent incidents in which identified ICE officers have been assaulted off-duty.

I repeatedly said there was zero chance SBF could get a pardon.

I was wrong.

He’s playing obvious bootlicking games that would normally not work on anyone with a functional brain.

Lucky for him, Trump and Musk are in charge, so anything is possible.

Also most importantly, how can you describe yourself as a journalist who covers protests full time and then get mad at someone for getting journalists to cover a protest?

According to this sheriff's report there are anti-ICE actions underway in Rock Springs, Wyoming, with enough people attending to fully block in the ICE agents.

You know what, the airlines should just pull the planes immediately and cancel all their routes, saying "Sir, yes, sir, Mr. President." Congress will enjoy that on a Friday.
The team from @theaircurrent is seeking more information on this statement from the President. A massive amount of the U.S. fleet of mainline, regional, helicopter and military aircraft are "made in Canada."

In the 1960’s, racist government officials called civil rights protesters ‘outside agitators’ & ‘professionals’ because they couldn’t accept that their neighbors & many others acted morally to right the wrongs. They couldn’t accept it.

Today our government is doing the same crap

I guarantee you that right now, operators of Canadian aircraft are trying to reach their FAA Certificate Mgmt Teams & asking if their certificates will be suspended if they fly their planes. Are their insurance policies still valid? And the feds cannot help them because they have no answers.

Chaos.

It's very cool and chill how often I login to this website to see the president has posted something that threatens to destabilize an entire industry but also nobody knows what, if anything, it actually means.
