Look at his eyes - pure panic.

These "federal agents" are like clumsy mall cops with guns. No training, no control, no clue.

It’s a miracle they haven’t shot each other yet.

They're a danger to the public.

Merrick Garland green-lit the search of Mar-a-Lago. It happened in August 2022 three months before Jack Smith was appointed. Jack Smith was in the Netherlands at the Hauge prosecuting Kosovo war crimes when Mar-a-Lago was searched. Eric should have listened to my podcast.

i think it is cool that a government run by fanatical bigots is on track to plunge the economy into a mountain and cause a food crisis

David Dayen @ddayen.bsky.social · 11h

So this is funny.
The administration just issued a rule slashing foreign agricultural worker wages. And to justify it, in a public filing, Trump's Labor Department alleges that Trump's immigration enforcement has devastated the Ag workforce and caused a "risk of supply shock-induced food shortages."

Trump Labor Department Says His Immigration Raids Are Causing a Food Crisis

In a filing in the Federal Register, the Labor Department argues there are “immediate dangers to the American food supply” due to a lack of migrant agricultural workers.

Don't be surprised if Trump claims key blue states to be in "open rebellion" and attempts to exclude their elected officials from being seated in Congress.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

3/ Central witness Daniel Richman "told investigators that the former FBI director instructed him NOT to engage with the media on at least two occasions and unequivocally said Comey never authorized him to provide information to a reporter anonymously ahead of the 2016 election."

4/ "According to prosecutors ... using Richman's testimony to prove that Comey knowingly provided false statements to Congress would result in 'likely insurmountable problems.'"

They detailed these concerns in a memo recommending not to charge the former FBI director.

Religions are not made the same. Christian nationalism is a white supremest cult. The KKK were that. Hate and take away rights are their primary goal. We have too many GOP who are in it. ICE are that. Killing innocent people are that. Follow and speak up.

The only reason that Trump is allowed to personally profit from the White House and break laws is because of Pam Bondi. She is the most corrupt AG we have seen in our lifetimes.

“I think it’s valuable that the American people get a sense of what you’ve refused to answer today.” Senator Adam Schiff went on to list the various questions Bondi refused to answer.

Bondi was hired to be Trump’s shill. She’s doing that job well.
