Sometimes very hard not to feel like the rest of the country has abandoned Minnesota. We STILL have ICE everywhere. Our schools, businesses, and economy are in profound crisis. But without Bovino here throwing tear gas, much of the country seems to not care at all what’s being done to us.

The Pentagon and the FAA have clear structures in place to ensure that they are, in fact, in clear communications with each other. These structures have existed for decades.
The US military must obey FAA regulations at all times by the law.
I used to work as a CTR for the USAF office that did this.
MS NOW: "A congressional official with knowledge of the matter is telling MS NOW the cause of the shutdown of El Paso airspace is a lack of communication between the Pentagon and FAA. The official told us the FAA and DOD are 'not in clear communications with each other.'"

4 months after Trump pardoned Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, Forbes reports that Binance now holds $4.7 billion of the $5.4 billion supply of Trump’s World Liberty Financial stablecoin. That is 87%. It is the largest corruption scandal in the history of the US presidency.

Big law firms looking for redemption after humiliatingly capitulating to Donald Trump might consider that local folks fighting with almost no resources to keep immigrant prison camps out of their towns could use a little help.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.

If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Spoiler alert: Elon Musk will not build a colony or an outpost or so much as an outdoor toilet on the Moon. Not in ten years. Not in twenty years. Not ever. When your dipshit friend or relative expresses excitement over his announcement, just change the subject. There's no point. It's a cult.

“Collection of Handwritten Letters from Children in Detention Center” sounds like an exhibit in the Holocaust Museum.
1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

Trump might be president, but the time for mincing words and normalizing his ethnic cleansing campaign (disguised as “immigration policy”) has long passed. All decent citizens should ostracize him when he prioritizes frivolous social functions at Mar-A-Lago

The time for mincing words and normalizing his ethnic cleansing campaign (disguised as “immigration policy”) is over. Trump is a racist. His party tolerates if it does not actively endorse his racism. Those who normalize him enable racism. His agenda is racist open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.

He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

you're deporting and killing people who are on the inside and who have lived most of their lives here.

Johnson doesn't realize it and wouldn't agree with it, but his love/hate line is an argument for amnesty.
Q: Pope Leo cited Matthew 25:35 to critique Donald Trump's mass deportation agenda. How would you respond to Pope Leo in scripture?

MIKE JOHNSON: Sovereign borders are biblical and right and just. It's not because we hate the people on the outside. It's because we love the people on the inside.

you have a right and in fact an obligation to explain your votes

if you think judging your morality or ethics is off limits for discussion by your constituents that’s a you problem not a voter problem

The rules of Oregon’s House of Representatives are clear: Representatives cannot accept campaign donations during a legislative session. But as of Friday morning, Republican state Rep. Ed Diehl reported receiving more than $1,300 since Monday. More Republicans appear ready to follow suit.

Essentially Ron thinks he and the WH Administration should determine what are legal and legitimate votes.

But personally I’m still wondering about his July 4th, 2018, trip to Moscow with a group of Republicans.

Was THAT in fact legitimate?
