This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis.
Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.
Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.
BREAKING: Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie are introducing the Epstein Files Transparency Act –– a bipartisan bill to require the Attorney General to release the files within 30 days.
Hey there Scott Walker. I noticed you deleted this after learning that in fact the shooter was from the right. I don’t think it matters either way, violence is violence, so I’m waiting for you to tweet the same thing with corrected facts?
Cuz you’re uh, to use your words, “being silent.”
The Wall Street Journal had a piece last night that the Judicial Conference of the United States — the policy making body for the federal judiciary — is discussing whether the Judiciary should have its own armed security force rather than rely on the U.S. Marshals for federal judges’ protection.
This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!
This is a big deal. Spread the word. But it’s tiny compared to the totality of what’s happening at NIH. Cure Research for all cancers, Alzheimer’s, everything is being gutted. Intentionally. It’s all getting burned to the ground but the news isn’t getting out. The new cures won’t be there for you.
The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.
Breaking News: A judge ordered the rehiring of thousands of probationary workers across six federal agencies, saying their firings were based on a “sham.” Follow live updates. nyti.ms/422hhPg
Senator Mark Kelly is a combat fighter pilot and Navy captain who bravely served his country.
Elon Musk is a multi-billionaire trying to dismantle the VA who called Kelly, a veteran who put his life on the line, a “traitor.”
Disgusting.
That’s the ticket. Show up in court, with your Bar licenses on the line, and answer a judge’s pointed and specific questions on how this deal went down.
These absolute morons are going to destroy the United States.
If you’re in favor of the US leaving NATO, you either don’t want the US to succeed, or you don’t know wtf NATO does.
Worth noting that Mike Lee voted to expand NATO in 2022.
60 MINUTES: “Utter nonsense. The most accountable aid agency in the world is USAID… DOGE fired their top 58 officials within an hour of arriving…”
This was never about efficiency.

This means nothing. Useless. Empty words, zero action. Boycott his events. Refuse to cover his photo ops and propaganda signings. He’s addicted to coverage and hates being ignored. Until you band together and do something, these statements are utterly pointless & pathetic.
Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk: "Europe urgently needs its own plan of action concerning Ukraine and our security, or else other global players will decide about our future. Not necessarily in line with our own interest. This plan must be prepared now. There's no time to lose."
An amazing resignation letter to Bove from an AUSA who worked on the Adams case.
Money quote: “I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”
Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important
Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone
Call it a Day Of Transparency
Federal workers we never hear about do heroic things every day. They keep our country going smoothly. They don't deserve to be traumatized like they have been with Donald Trump's authoritarian tactics.
Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?
This would be disqualifying for a Democratic or Republican nominee in normal times.
This Senate will probably find this to be a positive quality, though.
SCOOP: Kash Patel took $25,000 from a production company with ties to Russia propaganda activity to appear in an anti-FBI docuseries. He did not respond to questions about this.

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"
Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"
This month marks the final, definitive closure of the Garland Shirt Factory. If you're interested in American manufacturing, I want tell you its story. 🧵
