Can we just clean out the White House and replace it with some freshman pre-law students at Georgetown? They'd do a FAR better job.
Pick a college, not partial to Georgetown except they could get there faster.

The White House is posting racist Internet memes and Karoline Leavitt asks us to "stop the fake outrage".
Reporters, grow a pair and tell her not to talk down to you.

No uniform? Assume the worst and protect yourself.
From a Reddit post about ICE in LA.
Wearing a Hawaiian shirt under their police vest is a very intentional choice. This seems like a Boogaloo boy who is also a thug agent of the state.
LA friends - be careful out there and make sure folks are aware of what is happening.

Jeff Bezos is complicit in destroying the free press to gain favor with Donald Trump. They fired ALL of their staff photographers.

I wrote about how Trump’s debate stage lie of “they’re eating the pets”, a product of participatory propaganda, was mobilized into the policy that will strip the legal status away from many Haitian immigrants the week, and what that may mean for Springfield: katestarbird.substack.com/p/sensemakin...

Do not be fooled by any apparent softening by the Trump administration on the ICE Metro Surge operation.
This is purely public relations damage control, not a sudden realization that the Constitution matters.

The rules of the road in the Trump administration are: Do anything you want until you embarrass the boss. He loves the tough guy persona until it makes him look bad.
Loyalty is a one-way agreement.

Donald Trump must fire Kristi Noem immediately.
Or Democrats will initiate impeachment proceedings against her in the House.
We can do this the easy way or the hard way.
