DHS getting basic 4th Amendment law wrong on its official Twitter account.
Seems like this post is bound to show up as an exhibit in one of the cases challenging ICE/Border Control enforcement actions.

Correct. And any U.S. politician running cover for an illicit and hostile land grab should be booted from office.
We don't need to play games parsing US law or international treaties to figure out if it's legal for Trump to do this. It's not. It's crystal clear it's all illegal. Everyone's just pretending we're not at the point where the thing to do is to remove him. It's an advanced state of political denial.
Again, I’m going to keep banging the drum that the fact we are threatening the territorial sovereignty of our closest allies is not only a gross violation of our UN & NATO treaty obligations & poses a massive threat to national security & world order but also should immediately end this presidency.

Fantastic and factual @warren.senate.gov
KERNEN: How are you blaming Trump's policies for the affordability crisis when Biden had higher inflation?
WARREN: Trump's tariffs have driven up prices. Trump's energy policies have driven up prices. And Trump's decision to cut access to healthcare has doubled or tripled the cost of healthcare

The Feds want war. This is pure insanity.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche calls what is happening in Minneapolis an “insurrection” and threatens to go after Governor Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey over their “terrorism.”

America hears you loud and clear: you are judge, jury and executioner (or pardoner). That is not our legal system. These folks are lawless usurpers.
Tapper to Noem: "I just showed you video of people attacking law enforcement officers on J6. Trump pardoned them all. You said Trump is enforcing all the laws equally. That's just not true. There's a different standard for LEOs being attacked if they're being attacked by Trump supporters."

Each of these pieces is excellent and worth a read. Expect continued chaos, no cap.
The world we know is ending. Something new has begun. Times Opinion asked five thinkers where they believe we’re headed next.
Opinion | Trump Broke the World Order. Now What?
With the president’s actions in Venezuela, we’re entering a new era. Here’s what it could look like.

I fear that this is an accurate take.
they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

The man is fully insane.
Trump: "People come in from Iowa and from Indiana and great places and they end up calling their parents -- 'your son has been killed.' It doesn't happen anymore. Washington DC is a very safe city. We put our National Guard there. They're all central casting. We won the case on merit."

And it’s my job to ask how someone so patently stupid, unqualified, smug and racist became our VP.
Vance: "If you're in Mpls, and you have a person who came to the US impoverished two months ago and all of the sudden they're driving a Mercedes or a Lamborghini, it is your job as a public official to ask how did that person get so rich so quickly when they're also collecting a welfare check."

Funny how none of the claimed incoming funds—from any source— ever directly flow to the US citizenry… and they never will.
If Trump is really stealing spending power from Congress then it would be insanity for Democrats to vote to fund the government later this month. Shut it down until the president stops wiping his ass with the Constitution.

Pride, greed, gluttony, wrath and sloth. And we’re only 3 days into the new year.
Trump: "We're going to have our very large United States oil companies go in, spend billions of dollars, fix the badly broken infrastructure and start making money for the country. And we are ready to stage a second and much larger attack if we need to do so."

Slop from a pig. This utter crap debases all Americans.
Trump doubles down on his Rob Reiner attack: "I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person... He became like a deranged person, Trump Derangement Syndrome. So I was not a fan of Rob Reiner at all in any way, shape or form. I thought he was very bad for our country."

The man was aware, thoughtful, creative. A great American artist. Such a tragedy.
Rob Reiner was one of the key people behind the effort to go to court to overturn California's anti-marriage equality Proposition 8 when it passed in 2008.
Working with Chad Griffin, they founded the American Foundation for Equal Rights and got Ted Olson and David Boies to team up to fight Prop 8.

JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

Oh boy.
INGRAHAM: Is a 50 year mortgage really a good idea?
TRUMP: It's not even a big deal. You go from 40 to 50 years. All it means is you pay less per month

Q: Americans have been watching videos of ICE tackling a young mother, tear gas being used in a Chicago residential neighborhood, and the smashing of car windows. Have some of these raids gone too far?"
Trump: "No. I think they haven't gone far enough”
Trump: "No. I think they haven't gone far enough”

Joni Ernst is, by far, of the stupidest Iowans to ever serve in DC.
Ernst: "I think it is extremely important that we look at who is funding these protests. We have to get to the bottom of this. It could be the usual suspect -- George Soros."

Man, what a loser.
Trump on No Kings: "It's a joke. I looked at the people. They are not representative of this country. And I looked at all the brand new signs I guess paid for by Soros and other radical left lunatics. We're checking it out. The demonstrations were very small. And the people were whacked out."

Rule of law. It matters to true Americans.
Wow. Sidney Reid, the DC woman just found not guilty of assaulting an FBI agent, issues a withering and gutsy statement on Trump through her attorneys.
"I feel sorry for the prosecutors really, who must be burdened by Trump's irrational and unfounded hatred for his fellow man."
It's a must-read:
