My favorite subgenre of government spokespeople snittiness is when they complain about reporters reaching out during a weekend or right around a holiday. Sure, there are times when the complaint makes sense but often times when it’s a good faith outreach that happened to fall in that time, to me…

“What the left got was… a complete normalization of Zohran Mamdani on the national stage.”

@premthakker.bsky.social and @swin24.bsky.social discuss the real takeaway from the Mamdani-Trump meeting and what it means for the left.

Political correctness is KILLING Arundel! The Fake News Ice Witch almost got everyone — including the young women — in our beautiful suburb (with sky high property values) “frozen” to death, and yet they still let her walk FREE.

NO MERCY TO ICE WITCHES, you dumb bastards!!!!

when we discussed the uh “debate” over whether trump is anti war or not:

“He is a lazy, incompetent, cowardly warmongerer.”

If u want a succinct way to describe his foreign policy (and sadly also domestic), that’s it. No need for anymore debates. Done

Earlier this year, the United States deported 252 Venezuelans to El Salvador and paid its government to imprison them. Now two human-rights organizations have found that all of those men were physically abused, Conor Friedersdorf writes:
What the Deported Venezuelans Went Through in El Salvador
Forty men sent to El Salvador by the Trump administration have shared disturbing accounts of abuse by a regime that America paid to imprison them.

If you believe this issue is just cable news catnip, then you don’t actually care about your fellow neighbors and citizens not dying needlessly, in part because of you
CASSIDY: I know it's titillating, but I think we need to move beyond the titillation

TAPPER: This isn't about titillation. This is about the fact that you are the chairman of the health committee and you voted to confirm somebody that by all accounts is actually making America less healthy

An ICE agent was caught removing a sign marking an ICE kidnapping in DC last week! Do we think he did it out of anger, embarrassment, or most appropriately shame? If you think what you’re doing is right, why are you trying to hide the evidence? 👀

My brother was telling us that his friend who paints houses was taken by ICE agents along with his gf a week and a half ago in Glendale Heights. He was let go a week later he said and she is still detained. I passed along the ICIRR hotline so he could share that. These things are still happening.

Since Bovino left it seems every day or every other day I hear of someone abducted by ICE agents. It’s slower, less flashy, but still happening.
“Rey Wences, senior director of deportation defense at the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, noted that “abductions” continue happening “every day in both the city and the suburbs.”
