I watch CNN but never any program that has Scott Jennings as a guest (sorry Abby Phillip). I just want to punch him in his smug little mouth. IMO Erin Burnett's program is the only evening show on CNN worth watching right now. She cuts through the bullshit.
I’m probably about to be banned from CNN — but someone has to say this about Scott Jennings. open.substack.com/pub/saltypol...

There are times when you need to tell your friends that they are committing a grave mistake, even if they resent you for telling the truth.

I am hesitant to post this because I don't want to give this evil gnome additional oxygen. But the federal gov't cannot command state/local police agencies or dictate general police policy per the 10th amendment. Miller knows this. Let's ignore him. He will hate that😆

Pew Research Institute (2023):
• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants
• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants
• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.
And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."
It's *not* about immigration.

2026 is going to be a very dark year for US foreign policy, where everything that was built over many decades by leaders for collective security is torn apart by one madman, but only because people in his own party remain silent.

Is that how you play golf - just using your club to push the ball into the hole? I am no expert but I really thought there was more to it than that.
Fatler has taken the day off early and is already golfing in Florida.

Investigating elected officials for speech is not law enforcement but intimidation. If governors and mayors can be investigated for criticizing federal actions, neither elected officials nor anyone else is truly free to speak. #holdfast

It will become increasingly important for people to take video and protect and save that video so that when there is finally an accounting for what’s happening, there will be evidence.

A man was shot in the leg and wounded by an ICE agent last night in Minneapolis. This isn’t an isolated incident—it’s part of a dangerous pattern of gun violence and armed intimidation by federal agents that has wreaked havoc in communities across the country.

I am calling for the arrest and prosecution of the ICE agent that shot and killed Renee Good.
I am also calling on Congress to support my bill with @jasmineforus.bsky.social to force ICE agents to wear body cameras, not wear masks, have visible identification & ensure ICE has independent oversight.

Iran is an Islamic theocracy because of the US. Iran had a democratic government which the US and UK overthrew to install a brutal pro western dictatorship for oil. The 79 revolution was a direct consequence of this. People pretend the government is anti-US for no reason

The CEOs of two major NYC hospital systems rake in over $16M and $26M per year 💸 Meanwhile, nearly 15,000 nurses are walking off the job--demanding safe staffing, fair pay, and protection from workplace violence. This is standing up for dignity.
