Legal falsity aside, I think “our masked, anonymous paramilitary thugs have an absolute right to kill you and your job is simply to trust that they won’t” isn’t so much a defense as a confession

MAGA folks and their dreams of dictatorship are so boring. But I guess it shows how desperate they're getting, and how much they know they're losing.

Dozens of energy projects cancelled in California.
Now five more on the East Coast.
All because Donald Trump wants to kill cheap, renewable energy.
Want to know who will pay the price for Trump's job killing cancellations?
Check your utility bill next year and you will see.

this was my favorite tea when I was younger but it’s harder to find in stores now. my mom used to buy boxes and boxes on sale after Christmas and send them to me at college in care packages throughout the year. I thought they’d discontinued it, but I found some again and I am so 🥹 about it

Here's a better view of the now-deleted photo showing Trump with Epstein and Trump with a group of young girls.
The photo was originally posted as item EFTA00000468 but was later deleted. Now the 'official' list simply jumps from EFTA00000467 to EFTA00000469.

You aren’t going to believe this. But there’s an important distinction between detaining someone as a law enforcement action in an interdiction and summarily killing them.
If the US Coast Guard stops a ship in international waters and seizes their cocaine, is that a war crime? The ship has not done anything illegal. Should we prosecute the Coast Guard Captain for piracy?

Interesting that he omits the fact that the investigation into former Honduras president Juan Orlando Hernandez began during Trump’s first term
So technically today’s pardon would reverse a Trump witch hunt
But really, it's just another example of his "Biden Bad/Trump Good" fantasy

Trump on pardoning the former president of Honduras: "That was a Biden horrible witch hunt. A lot of people in Honduras asked me to do that & I did it. I feel very good about it. If you have some drug dealers in your country and you're the president, you don't necessarily put the president in jail"

This number is completely made up. There are not 30 million undocumented immigrants. The most recent estimates are around 14 million, of which roughly 8 million people have been here for over a decade.
Vance is not a fool. He knows this. DHS produces official estimates. They don’t say 30 million.

The widely quoted number I saw regarding SNAP recipients was 42 million. 186,000 is 0.44% of 42 million. Even if the entire 186k was fraud/waste, it's less than 1/2 of 1% of the recipients. It does not make the program broken or full of corruption.
Brooke Rollins: "SNAP is a broken program. SNAP is full of corruption. We found 186,000 dead people."
