The list of demands that Attorney General Bondi sent to Governor Walz yesterday is all the proof we need that the federal surge into Minnesota never had anything to do with immigration. (1/3)

Ironic isn’t it? Had an ICE thug been hurt at the very same location 5 minutes earlier, Alex would have dropped everything to save his life.

But 5 minutes later….

We’re all heartbroken and enraged by the killings of Renée Good and Alex Pretti. And we should let those feelings motivate us. They were people who recognized their position of relative privilege and their ability to help by being witness to what’s happening in their community. (1/4)

There’s nothing these assholes love more than playing dress-up and doing fascist shit, and there’s nothing they hate more than being called out for dressing up and doing fascist shit.
Bovino: "When politicians, community leaders, & some journalists engage in that heated rhetoric we keep talking about, when they make the choice to vilify law enforcement calling law enforcement 'Gestapo' or using the term 'kidnapping,' that is a choice & there are actions & consequences."

How's everybody faring? I took this totally real, absolutely legitimate video of myself taking a bag of trash to the dumpster early this morning before going to bed.

Yeah, the Sons of Liberty were famously known for their staunch support of British tax enforcement.
Attorney General Pam Bondi: "Our country was founded on law enforcement"
Bondi: "It's extremely organized. The signs they have are all matching, they're well written. And look at what's happening today. How did these people go out & get gas masks? These protesters. Would you know how to walk out on the street and buy a gas mask? Think about that. We're not gonna have it"

Doncha know, the 2nd Amendment's only for right-wing thugs, you silly commies.
Q: Did he brandish a gun?

KRISTI NOEM: This individual showed up to impede a law enforcement operation and assaulted our officers. I don't know of any peaceful protester that shows up with a gun and ammunition rather than a sign. This is a violent riot when you have someone showing up with weapons

In America, we have the right to bear arms. Unless we piss off the ruling party. Then their masked thugs will take those arms from us, and murder us in the street.

I would ask how Reps. Cueller, Davis, Gillen, Golden, Gonzalez, and Souzzi feel now about joining Republicans this week to give ICE more money. But given that ICE had already been murdering and kidnapping people, I'm not sure another dead American would've mattered.

Trump is as fond of shitting all over our allies' vets as he is of shitting all over ours. Pretty brazen for a serial draft-dodger. Shame we're letting a lecherous, rapine old grifter with a soggy brain rip apart the most successful defensive military alliance in history.

The good news: It's gonna be wicked cold the next couple of days. So, y'know...there are worse times to need a heating pad.

Even if we start tomorrow, I'll be dead before we repair the damage this executive has done. And every day until I do die, I'll wake up and walk around with a deep, black anger in my heart about that.

The reality is that 2024 was a fundamental test of the moral character of the nation and we failed spectacularly. We’re living with the consequences now. Maybe we improve. I hope so.

I am worried for those of you who are, like me, in the path of this winter storm that's barreling toward the U.S. Midwest and South this weekend. Please be safe. But also: Hot damn, am I excited. Gonna put on my Big Grey Hoodie™ and drink some T,EG,H.

Literally the only time Article V has been invoked was by the U.S., after 9/11. NATO responded by helping us patrol our airspace.

Almost every NATO country lost service members alongside us in Iraq and Afghanistan.

So get thee fucked, Mr. President.
Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."

No Democrat who votes to fund ICE will receive a single vote from me in the future. I don't care about their excuses. This is a red line we all need to draw.
The budget deal in Congress will give ICE another $10 BILLION.

Absolutely not.

ICE is out of control. We must stop this rogue agency’s dangerous abuses of power, not bankroll it.
January 22, 2026 at 3:27 PM
Nobody's fighting immigration enforcement, shithead. They're fighting the wholesale terrorizing of their communities. A lot of us never liked ICE and don't think it should exist. But the "chaos" didn't start until your thugs showed up and started gassing, kidnapping, and SHOOTING innocent people.
JD Vance: "I'm headed to Minneapolis where we're gonna talk with ICE agents and local officials about how we turn down the chaos. My simple piece of advice to them is going to be if you want to turn down the chaos in Minneapolis, stop fighting immigration enforcement."

The first two episodes of 'Starfleet Academy' were pretty alright. Didn't knock my socks off, but they were fine. More than enough to keep me engaged for now, and the people bitching about them are mostly brain-dead malcontents who don't understand Star Trek. (1/2)
