Deploying the military as police in states with broad police power and against the will of the states is an all time tyrannical breach. And it should be viewed as such.

Amazing this isn't a bigger story but that we knew it was going on.

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites

The style is now unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war

I'm sure that you're consumed with concern. Do take care of yourself, though. Genuinely hoping for the best outcome.

I’m sick of how if somebody is rich enough their stupidity is our problem. That’s not fair to actual people

When was the last time Trump was interviewed solo on-camera by a non-servile journalist? Because it's starting to feel like that may not happen again. The risk of him being publicly challenged about factual basic information--like, "Portland is not burning"--is too great for his handlers to permit.

Trevor Lawrence's 6 scrambles on Monday were the most in any single game of his career. His first down rate and total EPA on those scrambles were also career highs, a 66.7% First Down Rate and 5.36 total EPA. Allowing himself to scramble and make plays could help keep a chaotic Jags offense moving

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

Has anyone suggested that Trump VISIT Portland and, I dunno, throw rolls of paper towels to the refugees, or something? See the devastation himself?

The fact he's not going tells me that he knows he's lying.

ICE. IS. ALWAYS. LYING.

Bodycam footage shows ICE agent taunting Marimar Martinez before shooting her 5x in Chicago’s Brighton Park, contradicting federal claims that she drove toward officers.

The footage blows apart DHS’s fabricated story about the shooting.
