Merrick Garland green-lit the search of Mar-a-Lago. It happened in August 2022 three months before Jack Smith was appointed. Jack Smith was in the Netherlands at the Hauge prosecuting Kosovo war crimes when Mar-a-Lago was searched. Eric should have listened to my podcast.

Paging white Chicago suburbanites who didn't vote for Harris:

We're gonna need you to hop on the L with your signs and bullhorns and get yourself down to where the ICE agents are. You made this mess - now step up.

Federal officers are firing so much tear gas at protesters outside an ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois, that some nearby community members who aren’t even protesting are struggling to breathe when they leave their homes to run errands.

ICE is hounding Chicago area locals with excessive chemical munitions

Agents are firing tear gas and pepper balls on lawful protesters, lawsuits say, sickening even uninvolved residents.

In a few days, you may be notified that your health insurance premiums will double, because of Republican cuts to health care. Democrats are fighting to change that before it's too late.

Pope Leo met with US bishops at the Vatican, telling them to firmly address inhumane treatment of migrants. He’s received dozens of letters expressing fears, and the pontiff “is very personally concerned about these matters,” said El Paso Bishop Mark Seitz.

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

The condescension of two-bit Attorney General Pamela Jo Bondi today underscores that the only thing this administration excels at is a complete lack of self-awareness.

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.
