ICE causes man to wreck while his children are in the car, then tries to pry his kids from his arms. They got the wrong guy. Toward the end of the video, an ICE officer says law requires the person recording to back up 25 feet and threatens with pepper spray. (There is no 25-foot law.)

No way…

This is egregious and is leading to deaths of Ukranians www.wsj.com/world/ukrain...

Other than grift and racism, Trump's entire agenda is new policies to fix the damage inflicted by his old policies.

ICE agents tackled a U.S. citizen riding his bike, tased him, and broke his arm. Note the reaction from Trump’s attorney. No contrition. No sympathy for the victim. Just ire for the congressman who had the audacity to criticize the agents.

A 56-year-old Mexican man held at a federal immigration facility in Laredo was found dead in his cell Saturday morning. His family says the center would not give him medicine for diabetes, high blood pressure and a heart condition. He is the 7th person to die in ICE custody in Texas this year.

It’s incredible what now happens in plain sight while the media fails to hold anyone accountable. We’ve reached the point where the satire is funny until you remember it’s describing reality.

This WSJ investigation exposes yet more Tether-related corruption at the White House, revealing that they paid Bo Hines' consulting firm millions as he was ensuring the Genius Act stablecoin law would benefit them. I needed a diagram.

I know I'm a broken record on this, but one part of what is going on is that people have literally no idea what the US immigration system actually is; effectively, that there are no pathways into the country legally for someone who wants to wait in line.

An attempted attack on a Hindu temple came amid a weeks-long right-wing frenzy over "The Indian Question"; police found a manifesto from the alleged shooter "containing statements expressing white supremacist and extremist ideologies."

I don't think most Americans understand yet what a global laggard the USA is turning into here. Media instead told us that electric vehicles were a fad that didn't work.

So good. I almost can't believe the journalist ask the question

YIKES #mesen #mepolitics

Bloomberg reveals that Marc Andreessen is so upset with Democrats because they wanted to regulate crypto, regulate AI startups and tax billionaires. He eventually began to rage against "the woke mind virus". Truly living the dream of you either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain.

The Army's top general warned of a critical missile defense shortage before the Iran war began, officials say. www.cbsnews.com/news/randy-g...

This can’t be. I was assured by the Manhattan Institute that this sort of thing never happens.

It’s a miracle of pure dumb luck that this person’s gun jammed before he was able to carry out the attack, but this stuff is a symptom of all the of the rising anti-Indian racism online that desperately needs to be pushed back against

I feel like half of this place thinks liberation day tarriffs, as originally announced, are either still in effect or were eliminated by the courts way down the road and not something the admin themselves walked back almost immediately because of how apocalyptic they would have been

I can’t help but notice that ICE keeps claiming that people it shoots were trying to ram the agents with a car, and then video keeps proving that’s a lie.

I don’t think a 21X increase in the cost to get a tanker out of the Persian Gulf with lower total exports than before the war is an achievement. And I think it’s odd that so much of the press has been covering it as if we should see this as positive, with “Better Than You Think”-style “explainers.”

BILELLO: “.. Tariffs were pitched as the fix for America’s trade deficit. Instead, .. The deficit didn’t shrink. It increased 8%.”

Trump: "I could've done very bad things to Hillary Clinton. I could've done very very bad things to Joe Biden. I could've done very bad things to Barack Hussein Obama ... I can do whatever I want, if I want."

This was the 28th time #SCOTUS has granted emergency relief to the Trump administration since 1/20/25. That matches the total number of grants during the entirety of the first Trump administration. And both of those totals dwarf the *four* grants of relief (two each) during the Bush & Obama admins.

Private jets account for 16% of FAA operations but contribute just 0.6% of the taxes that fund it. Does that mean we should raise private jet taxes 25-fold to make up the difference? Why, yes, in fact Gift link: www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

NEW: In ‘24, the FBI sought to launch a sweeping bribery probe that could ensnare top lawmakers, including Sen. Susan Collins. Then Trump eviscerated the FBI & DOJ public corruption teams. ProPublica unearthed the investigation and you can read it 👇 www.propublica.org/article/fbi-...

It is extremely unfortunate and regrettable that the Department of the Air Force has decided to shutter the China Aerospace Studies Institute (CASI). CASI, along with its sister institutions the China Maritime Studies Institute (CMSI), China Landpower Studies Center (CLSC), and…

MAGA truckers are now posting TikToks about how they miss Joe Biden. ~~ I never thought leopards would eat MY face,' sobs woman who voted for the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party.

With primaries in rearview mirror, it's obvious Democratic enthusiasm translated to big 2026 turnout increases From TX and NC in March, to MI in Aug, and NH recently, Democratic vote totals surpassed GOP totals in several high-profile races (not all) Hasn’t happened in TX for quarter century! 1/3

Data science teams at DraftKings built models to identify likely losers and target them with promotions, while efforts to build predictive models for problem gambling were shelved. The counterpoint on self regulation is companies can be more incentivized to avoid identifying harm than addressing it

From 2021 to 2025, Stephen Miller was making $567K/year as head of his America First "think tank." He owns $100K-$250K in Palantir stock alone. His estimated net worth: ~$2 million. The immigrants he's deporting to third-party countries to be tortured and disappeared don't get an attorney at all.

Scary stuff in Turkey, whose flagship carrier flies to Denver and sponsors a major arts festival here.

Yes, all his businesses failed. But I do wonder how someone this stupid continued to be in a position to have new businesses to drive into the ground. Now he's just selling his power. But who was having conversations with a guy this dumb in the 80s and 90s and then writing him a check?

Poll watching right now is like, "Normal candidate with normal opinions ekes out small lead against sweaty bag of farts who sends dick picks to orphans and once dropkicked a puppy with leukemia."
