NEW: As Colorado’s Tina Peters reportedly meets with President Trump to discuss an election “plan,” her attorney says the plan involves seizing ballots nationwide and discusses strategy for a potential civil war

So, Schmitt saying Smith perjured himself during the hearing is obviously protected by Speech and Debate Clause but, given that Schmitt was shown proof that he was wrong AND THEN repeated it outside of the legislative chambers, it seems like there is an actionable slander case here

Judge Subramanian: If these were a regular case I would issue an Order to Show Cause why sanctions should not issue. Why not here? Buckley: Look at footnote 5 Judge: That wasn't sufficient. I am giving you the opportunity to meet it more fully Buckley: Never again

OK - now hearing on SDNY's subpoenas for reporting about the non-use of the Qatar-gifted jet as Air Force One coming back from Turkey - hearing before Judge Subramanian, who also has Live Nations (and Inner City Press' FOIA case www.courtlistener.com/docket/73400... ) - will live skeet, thread below

Exclusive: Trump DOJ’s Top ‘Antifa’ Prosecutor Marched With Crowd on Jan. 6 talkingpointsmemo.com/news/exclusi...

To be clear about what just happened: The Trump administration sent armed FBI agents to abduct a 78-year-old doctor and former federal public health worker from his home and stripped him because the brainwashed right-wing base, hopped up on a literal conspiracy theory, wants scalps.

This is fascism. Plain and simple. We need to know every agent’s name who was involved. If you have any information, my Signal is in my profile.

SPLC wants Todd Blanche to stop lying. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I think what they are trying to avoid saying is this: (1) the perp never fired a shot; (2) one or more security personnel fired shots but missed him. Which suggests that the Secret Service person who got hit in his bulletproof vest was a friendly fire victim.

Reform donor Ben Delo, who has given £4 million to the party, is making legal threats to those who reference his 2022 US conviction for failing to implement anti-money laundering laws, prior to a pardon by President Trump. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The extent to which Trump governs this country and the world via what he sees on Fox News is seriously underplayed. He thinks what is on that network is the only reality and we suffer the consequences.

It’s amazing how fast we have memory-holed the fact that all of society was compelled to close down and lock ourselves in our homes, for a year and a half, to protect a generational cohort which is considered untouchable and unaccountable even in cases of malicious and destructive behaviour.

Trump has become America's Gadhafi. Both men surrounded by sycophants who shielded them from unpleasant truths, until they lost touch with reality.

This is why Trump is president.

*jerkoff motion*

I just heard that some U.S. troops are smoking weed so they no longer qualify for combat, or get discharged I certainly hope this doesn't become a huge, popular trend!

On March 10, 1993, Dr. David Gunn was killed outside the Pensacola Women’s Medical Services clinic by anti-abortion activist Michael Griffin; it was the first killing attributed to a doctor’s role in providing abortion care.

President Donald Trump's supporters handed him a 17-page draft proposal on how to declare a national emergency to seize control of state election administration, according to reports on Thursday.

When the Supreme Court allowed immigration agents to consider race during sweeps, Justice Brett Kavanaugh said that citizens shouldn’t be concerned because agents will “promptly let the individual go.” For these Americans, that wasn’t true. (Published Oct. 2025)

OMG 😳 that's really the explanation for the weird Louisiana health ship post?

Democrats should promise, today, that Melania Trump, Elon Musk and Peter Thiel will be stripped of citizenship and deported if the administration advances this effort

She doesn’t support genocide. But y’all DO. Why else would you be proud you voted to EXACERBATE IT…SPREAD IT HERE AND ABROAD… All to be an asshat on the interwebs. Quit pumping suffering to defend you being insufferable. Lordt.

What we’re seeing with WaPo is part of a larger trend. If it’s not clear by now, there is nothing big money gets its hands on that does not dirty and destroy. - housing - law - govt - media - entertainment What we call “enshittification” is really the capitalization of everything.

I think when Trump is out of office or dead, and if the Democrats ever get their weak complicit enabling behaviour fixed and win power Every monument with the name Trump on it should be changed to Obama or another black person to enrage the racist Republicans or rename to its original name

Quick round up: - the government is covering up evidence the president is a pedophile - he’s openly taking bribes from foreign governments - his masked agents are shooting citizens in the streets - the FBI is helping him steal the election - he’s threatening war against multiple allies 👍👍👍

I can say without any fear of contradiction that I know as much or more than anyone in modern American journalism about the absolute, no excuses necessity of operating in the black. In many cases much more since if you’re a big player there are lots of creative ways to operate ….

not saying he's necessarily in the organization, but this skull face mask was popular among members of the Proud Boys a few years ago

If you don’t want to be identified while enforcing the law pick another fucking job

Other folks have already noted much of this, but I think the MAGA 'theory of victory' here is: 1) DHS provocations trigger a riot or attack on agents which 2) Leads to widespread civil unrest in many 'blue' cities so that 3) Trump can invoke the insurrection act and send in the troops...

Same people out there now dropping portentous, stentorian posts about The Battle Against Fascism ... were unwilling to look awkward or be mocked online for supporting Trump's only opponent.

It's easy to oppose fascism once it has come out into the open & is shooting innocent women in the face. What's more difficult is a) foreseeing this as inevitable if Trump wins & b) working to prevent his victory, even if c) that means you have to be cringe & stump for Harris.

This is so amazingly accurate

Would respond to this post defending David Brooks but Sanchez has turned off replies. To repeat: the issue is that Brooks was part of a tiny, exclusive, secretive "Billionaires' Dinner" sponsored by Epstein, then wrote a op-ed dismissing the idea of an "Epstein class" without disclosing that tie. 1/

@mrjamesob.bsky.social in America they used to refer to overly strict, almost authoritarian, schools as military schools where the “bad” kids were sent by their parents.

To be clear, and as I highlighted in the image, this is focused on “foreign-controlled corporations.” On that front, though, this is not my thing. I defer to the experts/journalists who deal with trade to discuss why they’re doing this now and what they hope to get out of it.

Among its provisions, though, is one that I haven’t seen before. (It could be in other orders, but I’ve not seen it.) It involves briefing only the majority party in Congress.

One day this social media exchange will be presented as evidence in a court room, and I cannot wait.

Oh you're trying to say the cost of living is skyrocketing? Donald Trump can't hear you over the sound of bulldozers demolishing a wing of the White House to build a new grand ballroom.

I hate to extremely lib out but my dream is that this thing is demolished on day 1 of the next Dem administration

These are only "contradictions" when one believes that everyone is equal. It's not contradictory when the Marie Antoinettes of our society believe that what is for me is not for thee. #ItHasHappenedHere

There's a lot wrong with Julia Black's article, which treats Katherine Boyle's statements on 'memetic warfare' as though they're original (they're Thiel lines from 2015). And she doesn't disclose her affiliation with another Silicon Valley magnate: she's reporter-in-residence at the Omidyar Network.
