Investigate and prosecute political opponents, sell pardons to your rich friends so they can commit crimes with impunity. Authoritarianism isn’t coming, it’s here, whether people realize it or not.

🚨WHOA. The El Paso Medical Examiner says it will rule the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at ICE's "Camp East Montana" tent camp as a homicide.

He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.

I’m actually very happy for James Comer and House Republicans to establish the precedent that former presidents should be hauled before congressional committees to be questioned about Epstein, pardons and other matters.

If you need any more proof of who this Admin serves, look no further.

The EPA will no longer consider harm to HUMAN LIFE when setting air pollution limits.

What will they consider? The bottom lines of the CEOs of the biggest polluters.

There you have it; the Trump admin allows ICE lawyer James Rodden to stay on the job. His personal social media account praised Hitler, supported white nationalism, and said that America started going downhill the day that Lincoln was elected.
BREAKING: James Rodden, an ICE prosecutor who the Observer identified last year as the operator of an X account that posted “America is a White nation," “‘Migrants’ are all criminals,” and apparent praise of Adolf Hitler, appeared to be back at work Tuesday.

Sometimes they just tell us they are weaponizing the criminal justice system to push their political agenda.
Sen. Kevin Cramer: "Maybe the point should be if you're the attorney for Jay Powell and you want to avoid an indictment, how about you go to Jeanine Pirro and say, 'I'll make a deal. I'll step down today if you drop the investigation today.' To me, that would be a win win for everybody."

At a time when so many big law firms, corporations and universities are caving to Trump’s bullying, we need to celebrate the individual acts of conscience by those who refuse to be complicit in Trump’s lawlessness.

We salute you for standing up!

600,000 suckers pre-ordered Trump Mobile phones which were supposed to be made in the US and delivered in September. They aren’t made in the US, nobody has their phones yet, and the company keeps giving different answers to people why that is the case.

Eric Adams just pocketed $3.4 million after scamming people, which was only made possible because Trump, Bondi and Blanche previously dropped multiple federal fraud charges against him for no reason other than politics.

It's sad - but I guess true - that a Republican saying that a President shouldn't imprison a Federal Reserve Chairman for a policy difference is "remarkable".

How unbelievably low the modern Republican Party has sunk.

No one should lose their sense of outrage about what is happening to our country. This is an effort to create an autocratic state. It's that plain.

Trump is threatening to imprison the Chairman of Federal Reserve simply because he won't enact the rate policy Trump wants.

They want it formally dead, but NATO is already functionally dead as a geopolitical reality. Even if he backs down (wouldn't bet on it), there's no going back from sending European capitals into a spiraling panic that the US is seriously about to invade one of them. You can't unring that bell.

Tom Homan has been saying the exact same thing for a year: If people continue to exercise free speech against state power, they will be responsible for the subsequent violence visited against them by the state
Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."

Underdiscussed how the admin's (plainly bogus) case rests on the idea that the officer's life was in danger while completely failing to explain how firing a gun point blank at the driver decreases that danger. Like that's probably the stupidest thing you could do
