I’m not the first to say it, but Americans forget when war is in your own backyard it is brutal and you do all sorts of things you would never contemplate otherwise. Visiting France, Poland and Hungry etc have shown me places that have been sieged, flattened and burned. Americans have forgotten.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

@mta.info hi at Citifield and your people said five min ago that there were only local trains left and no more express when we were about to swipe in, so we went to the local track, went in and stood here watching while the super express sat with doors open for three more min. Thanks

Will someone please find out what work the pedophile sex-trafficker is being allowed out to do, and who she is working for?

Maxwell’s Prison classification shows her custody status as “OUT,” which would mean she is permitted to work outside the federal prison camp where she is being held. That is a privilege that convicted sex offenders are not permitted under the bureau’s own rules. sg.news.yahoo.com/trump-child-...

The worst single-day crime spree in modern Washington history, of course, took place on Jan. 6, 2021. Trump issued no order to the National Guard to intervene -- Mike Pence did -- and later pardoned the perpetrators.

Citing a nonexistent crime crisis, Trump plans to take over the Washington DC police and put troops in the streets of the nation's capital. Contrary to his claims, violent crime in DC is at a 30-year low. @katierogersnyt.bsky.social Campbell Robertson Chris Cameron www.nytimes.com/live/2025/08...

Trump mentions NYC, Baltimore, and Oakland, says "they're so far gone," and adds, "this will go further. We'll starting very strongly with DC."

The 14th Amendment was ratified on this day in 1868. It guarantees: ✔️ due process for all ✔️ birthright citizenship ✔️ equal protection under the law Now more than ever, we're determined to protect these essential rights.

To me, it’s almost immaterial if Trump “signed off” on this, it’s his pentagon, it’s his iron grip on the government and party; if you don’t fire or harshly reprimand your SecDef over something like this (after a Second time), it’s your call and the buck stops with the commander in chief. Sorry!

holy shit. Cuomo halted an investigation into the Weinstein case after a donation from Weinstein’s former lawyer’s firm to his reelection campaign… guys, this was in 2018 AFTER the Weinstein exposés (multiple) had been published & the #metoo movement was ascendant

Since it appears needs to be said: the authority to suspend habeas corpus lies with Congress, not the President, and is only legal during extreme circumstances of rebellion or invasion. Stephen Miller is full of shit.

3/ You see, our founders created a President with limited and checked powers. They specifically put the power of spending and taxation in the hands of the legislature. Why? Because they watched how kings and despots used spending and taxes to control their subjects.

When only one party deals in facts, facts start to sound political.

"..they simply soft peddled it or outright ignored success after success allowing the MAGA counter messaging to fill the void. A vacuum cannot exist in nature and when truth is ignored untruth will easily fill the gap. It did and we are all worse for it." My latest: open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...
