this is a straightforward impeachable offense for trump, vance, rubio and every other person down the line who enabled it and the framers would have thought impeachment for it did not go nearly far enough
Marco Rubio: "The oil proceeds are being deposited into an account that ultimately will become a US Treasury blocked account here in the US. We will say 'this is what this money can be spent on.' They will submit to us a budget request -- 'we want to use the money on these things.'"

The fact that Bari would run a DOGE on CBS news a full 10 months after DOGE jumped the shark with just about anyone is just perfect
Below is the buyout offer all CBS Evening News staff received today.
"We hope you are excited about this vision, but we understand that some of you may not be, and we want to provide support. As such, we are offering an extraordinary chance to leave CBS News with an enhanced separation payment."

See, the “immigration crisis,” “border emergency” etc - it’s 100% made up. There is NO crisis except panicked, violently racist white people. That’s it.
All this suffering and death is caused by that and only by that. The rest is bullshit: an excuse to grab power by a white supremacist regime.

In the last 24 hours, all my Tik Tok content has been removed for US users.
I have about 250K followers on there, 80% are American. They now see NOTHING.
I know many on here hate Tik Tok. But it is a huge platform for 18-24 year olds and information suppression is the fascist’s tool of choice.

Good afternoon from downtown Chicago, where despite heavy snowfall, thousands have gathered for an anti-ICE/CBP demonstration in solidarity with the Twin Cities. More are still streaming in.
Lt. Illinois Gov. Juliana Stratton just addressed the crowd, and called for ICE to be abolished.

Waiting for the Constitutional Sheriffs to rise up and save us from the federal government… oh wait.
Remember the Bundy insanity during the Obama years? Armed guys occupied a federal office and one of their buddies took position with a sniper rifle aimed at federal agents?
Exactly how many of those guys were shot and killed?

I’ve never heard of a “law enforcement” agency putting an officer who just killed someone back on the street under 24 hours. And that’s because all shootings are treated as homicides pending investigation. This is as clear a sign as you’ll get that DHS personnel enjoy practical immunity from murder.
CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.
This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

We sometimes think about the martyrs of the Boston Massacre as the first deaths in the American Revolution.
But an 11yo boy named Christopher Seider was killed by a customs informer the week before.
Boston gave him a huge funeral. Tensions were snapping. And then soldiers fired into the crowd.
