“There’s no independence of the FBI and the DOJ from Trump, the White House, Homeland Security. It is all an apparatus of Trump. So whatever Trump decides is what is going to happen with the FBI. So there’s no hope that the FBI or the DOJ will charge this case. They’ve already concluded otherwise”
NEWS --> Reps Eric Swalwell and Dan Goldman are introducing a new bill to strip ICE officers of qualified immunity, making lawsuits and prosecutions easier. They also say agent who killed Renee Good should be prosecuted in Minnesota.

PHD Rhodes Scholar Rachel Maddow has been telling us the truth about criminal, fascist, lying, anti-American, Russian owned traitor POS Trump for over a decade. If Americans were smart enough to watch/listen to REAL Journalists like her, instead of Fox/RW propaganda, we'd still be a proud Democracy.

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

This is what people on Fox are like. People watch Fox because they like this.
Jesse Watters highlights that Renee Nicole Good, the woman killed by ICE, had "pronouns in her bio" and "leaves behind a lesbian partner and a child from a previous marriage"

This was murder. Trump is defending a murder, a murder committed on his behalf.
America is not being made safe. It is becoming more dangerous each and every day because Donald Trump is a criminal who commands and encourages others to commit crimes on his behalf—as he has done for years.

I hate to break it to you, but heavily-armed government militias are roaming unchecked through US cities and shooting human rights observers dead in the streets. That's happening in our country.

Trump has never "run" anything in his life. He doesn't even know that it's an active verb. In his mind, all that is required is to be the big dog, nominally in charge and possessing power. He's a figurehead in his own job, so why couldn't he take on a few more?

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists.

Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot.

Just to remind everyone, Hillary Clinton had a larger victory margin in 2016 than Trump did in 2024. But as Republicans always say "math class is hard."
Bondi: "That's why Donald Trump was elected by an overwhelming majority." (Trump did not receive a majority of votes.)

This anniversary of the Jan 6 riot, with Donald Trump back in what's left of the White House, is a reminder of what a deeply damaged country this is to have re-elected the reckless vainglorious fool who instigated it.

The failure by US voters and politicians to recognize and act on this fact and the simultaneous choice by oligarchs and other superempowered elites in American and global affairs to enable and back Trump must therefore be seen as one of the great calamities of modern times.

The list of historic figures who said something like this only to end up facing a jury, mob, firing squad or executioner's blade is quite long and, honestly, pretty illuminating. Miller should read more books.
Here is the Trump Doctrine, as articulated by Stephen Miller in his truly frightening interview with Jake Tapper this afternoon. It is very much like the doctrine of the dictators we fought and defeated in World War II and of Putin today. It is un-American at its very core.

Yup.
It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

Immunity at home destroys legitimacy everywhere else.
We are a country whose Constitution, according to the Supreme Court, gives our own presidents immunity for crimes committed while in office, but we will prosecute presidents of other countries for alleged crimes and invade them to execute arrest warrants.
