Shame on you, @cnn.com
Renee Good could have been Charles Manson and ICE still shouldn't have murdered her.

Pretending her "ties" to anything are worthy of investigation privileges the Trump regime's lie that there might be a reason why it was OK to shoot her.

Kristi Noem’s podium at DHS is just a straight up Nazi slogan

"One of ours, all of yours" was a Nazi policy made when an SS officer was killed in a Czech Village and then the Nazis killed every single resident of that village in response…..but don’t you dare call them Nazis….not even hiding it

According to a new report, 33 of the January 6 rioters Trump pardoned on his first day in office have since been charged, arrested, or convicted of new crimes.

Trump is happy to put criminals back on our streets so long as they are loyal to him.

yep. i can identify any number of structural issues but at the end of the day the basic problem is the republican party. this has been apparent for at least 20 years. it is also an incredibly unpopular observation to make among “serious” people.
Right.

If you want a good explanation of why the American system of government worked well enough for 200 years and then suddenly stopped, it's because Republicans in Congress suddenly started letting their partisan interests COMPLETELY override their institutional interests
a lot of problems wouldn't exist if we had a congress with even an ounce of self interest

Whether it's Donald Trump demanding oil from Venezuela or Barack Obama demanding dijon mustard from a hot dog vendor, both presidents made some highly unorthodox requests.

The amount of “this is clearly about oil” posting across all platforms as story after story comes out where the oil industry is saying that the oil isn’t worth extracting is making me feel a little insane

A president who wanted a peace prize is actually a prime candidate to be tried for war crimes.

I also love America and believe in its stated values.

And I understand that this pronouncement lands very differently when it comes from an organization that has intentionally been overhauled in order to curry favor with a jingoistic proto-fascist who says his opponents hate the country.
Incredible. CBS Evening News announces five new “simple values” — instead of their “38-page handbook” — as they roll out Tony Dokoupil is lead anchor.

One of those values is simply: “We love America and make no apologies for saying so.”

On Jack Smith deposition, now released:

100% obvious why GOP refused to allow this as open testimony, aired live. It's damning.

Testimony from John Dean or Alex ("wiretaps") Butterfield in Watergate days would have 1/10th the impact if just in print.

What Smith says is far more incriminating.

"Whether she runs for president in 2028, simply tries to take over the MAGA movement and control its direction, or does a secret third thing, Greene isn’t going to hand over control of the far right to Trump."

Greene broke with Trump and announced she’s leaving office. Is she planning a presidential run in 2028 or trying to hijack MAGA?

This is not idle speculation. The intercepts of the Witkoff/Kushner/Dmitriev conversations leaked by NATO intel services to various European and US publications show that this is _exactly_ what is going on. It's the most humiliating chapter in the whole history of US diplomacy.

MAGA: America is a Christian nation!

Me: Cool the Bible says in Leviticus "When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born."

MAGA: Not like that.

In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.
