The New York Times reports that the Department of Homeland Security has sent Google, Meta, and other media corporations subpoenas for the names on accounts that criticize ICE enforcement. The department wants to identify Americans who oppose what it’s doing. I’ll save them time.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

There is video circulating on social media of a group of ICE agents beating a man near 26th and Nicollet in south Minneapolis, then one of the ICE agents shoots the man while he's on the ground numerous times. A witness can be heard yelling that the victim is dead.

Hilarious. The WH had all the Cabinet members simultaneously put out statements supporting Susie Wiles after the Vanity Fair article came out.

“In days after Alaska, a European intel agency distributed a hard-copy report in an envelope to some of the continent’s most senior national security officials, who were shocked by the contents: Inside were details of the commercial and economic plans the Trump admin had been pursuing with Russia.”

The White House is lying to you about Donald Trump's signature on the 50th birthday letter, and I am exposing it. We have the evidence. youtu.be/W3UXpF0V5wY

this is just straight-up dictatorship and it’s repulsive and pathetic our newspapers and TV stations still won’t say so. there is no emergency. there is no precedent for this in US history. Trump is establishing military and paramilitary control of the capital

No Kings Let's start a political party with that as the name and the guiding principle

This is not a president of the United States. This is a hateful demagogue and pathological liar who is exploiting the office to sow division and dismantle our democratic system.

Bennedict Mathurin's 27 PTS off the bench are the third-most in NBA Finals history. He's the first bench player to score 25+ PTS in the Finals since Jason Terry in 2011. H/T @lawmurraythenu.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/liv...

Peter Navarro: "You can't lose money unless you sell ... we will hit 50,000 on the Dow easily by the end of this term."

A Skadden attorney resigned today, citing the firm’s decision to strike a deal with Trump amid pressure campaign on law firms. “[I]f my employer cannot stand up for the rule of law, then I cannot ethically continue to work for them,” the former Skadden lawyer, Brenna Trout Frey, wrote on LinkedIn.

Scoop: Incoming Paramount boss Jeff Shell has made it clear to CBS News chief Wendy McMahon and "60 Minutes" boss Bill Owens that they need to get on board with Trump settlement and possible admission of wrongdoing—something sure to raise questions of gun-jumping. www.status.news/p/paramount-...

Maybe DOGE can eliminate tariffs. That would save US consumers billions.

SCOOP: Now that Linda McMahon is confirmed/sworn in as secretary, Trump will be imminently issuing an executive order eliminating the Department of Education. I’ve obtained a draft of an email that McMahon will be sending to staff re: the EO and the department’s “final mission”. Here is a portion:

NOTE: The opponents of DEI are purging anyone who is not a white man from military leadership This is not about merit; it’s about normalizing racism and misogyny

While I appreciate the sentiment, not one Republican senator who disagrees with Trump on this will even say his name. While Zelensky demonstrated political courage, Republican senators are still afraid to say Trump’s name, except when they praise him.

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

On behalf of many Americans, don’t thank us we THANK YOU Ukraine for your work.

Interesting how there wasn’t such risk of “catastrophic failure” until these grifters swooped in.
