Naming a police officer is not doxxing. We aren’t supposed to have secret police in America.

The invasion of MN is, I strongly believe, an attempt to create cause to invoke Insurrection Act.
It is a pivotal moment to attempt to discredit the goons or face civil war.
Greg Bovino's job, from day one, has been to create excuses to invade military.

I have watched the video recordings of the ICE officer killing an innocent woman too many times this morning.
I don’t recommend watching them. It’s obvious that this was an unjustified homicide, not self-defense.
But for the grace of G-d, she could have been any of us, just stuck in the snow.

I just left the Venezuela briefing.
It's worse than you thought.
Oil company executives seem to know more about Trump's secret plan to "run" Venezuela than the American people.
We need public Senate hearings NOW.

The president is not entitled to operate slush funds outside the operation of law.
Let’s turn to the Glorious Revolution:

This is blatantly illegal. A president can’t go into the oil business and then decide where to spend the money. We are completely untethered from our founding document with a lawless president and a Republican Congress which has abdicated all Constitutional authority.

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists.
Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election.
Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot.
It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

I wrote section 230 to protect user speech, not a company's own speech. I've long said AI chatbot outputs are not protected by 230 and that it is not a close call. Given that the Trump administration is going to the mat to protect pedophiles, states should step in to hold Musk and X accountable.
I am not a Section 230 expert but being that Twitter is creating and publishing these photos I wonder if they actually have any civil legal protection? @kenwhite.bsky.social ? @akivamcohen.bsky.social ?
What X is allowing Grok to do is unlawful or regulatory-illegal in multiple jurisdictions, creates clear DSA violations, and continues despite regulator scrutiny. The images do not need to be pornographic, non-consensual sexualised or intimate depictions are enough.

Himes: "I was delighted to hear that Tom Cotton, chairmen of the Senate Intel Committee, has been in regular contact with the admin. I've had zero outreach and no D I'm aware of has. So apparently we're now in a world where the legal obligation to keep Congress informed only applies to your party."

Seizing control of a foreign country without even informing, let alone getting authorization from, Congress is one of the gravest offenses against the Constitution.
Maduro was a horrific dictator. It’s irrelevant. Our own dictator claims power to levy taxes, spend funds, and wage war single-handed.

News: Gang of Eight in Congress were only notified about Trump's Venezuela operation after it began, source familiar tells me. That means the heads of the Intelligence Committees in Senate and House were *not* consulted. Just crazy.
