NOTE

I am not suicidal; I don't drink or do drugs; my blood pressure and cholesterol are normal; I don't engage in high-risk activities; my vehicles are well kept and newly serviced.

If anything happens to me, please assume foul play and only let state agents—not federal—access my data and drafts.

REPUBLICAN REP. MASSIE: “This is the Epstein administration.”
Massie: "Donald Trump told us that even though he had dinner with these people in NYC and West Palm Beach, that he would be transparent. But he's not. He's still in with the Epstein class. This is the Epstein administration."

I miss when you could post Brave Norman Rockwell Townsperson and the caption could be, like, “R.E.M was wrong to leave ‘Fretless’ off of Out of Time” instead of “The secret police should stop murdering people.”

A child dying of cancer spent her final days fighting to free her wrongfully detained father from ICE custody.
 
This comes just weeks after a mother from Maryland was denied the right to be at her son’s side as he died from cancer.
 
Not one dime for this cruelty.

... Real trials of charges against Bondi and Noem and Vance and Trump. With real evidence and witnesses.

Make clear to that jury of 100 that the world will forever remember their votes and whether they were faithful to the Constitution they've sworn to uphold.

I think we are going to have a Democratic-controlled Senate.

And all we will need for the leadership of that Democratic Senate to do is hold actual, real, impeachment trials.

As the Constitution requires.

Not the bullshit fake trials like the ones that the Senate held in 2020 and 2021...

@hillaryclinton.bsky.social I'd like to apologize on behalf of the majority of population in the Czech Republic for the behavior of our Minister that you've sadly been exposed to.
He in no way represents, was voted by literally 6K people and is in the government because our Prime Minister needs him.

Just a reminder that the Trump admin calls immigrants who’ve fallen into drug addiction “the worst of the worst” criminals, no matter how long ago their addiction problems.

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

The potential foreign agent was Saudi foreign agent Jared Kushner.

I mean, I was betting on Roger Stone but this is actually far more problematic.

Rand Paul to ICE officials on moments before Pretti's killing: "No one in America believes that shoving that woman's face in the snow was deescalation."

Note that ICE officials then confirm it was improper for her to be thrown down.

Rand Paul: "I see not even a hint here of anything aggressive on [Pretti's] part. I don't think this should take months and months. There needs to be a conclusion ... the public needs to know, if I go to a protest and shout something at people, could I be killed?"

He literally says in this clip that ICE will keep in Minnesota “quick reaction forces” — a military term — to go after “agitators.” Remember that those on the ground in MPLS have spent more than a week trying to tell everyone that Trump’s prior “deescalation” was a ruse and ICE is still operational
