Integrity is everything

The past couple days have made it clear that arresting and prosecuting Johnathan Ross isn’t just the right thing to do, it is necessary to prevent future violence by ICE who have interpreted the situation as “we can do that to whoever we want”

Yes, it is beyond insanity. Luckily, the American people aren’t buying it.

Philadelphia Sheriff Rochelle Bilal warns ICE: "No law enforcement professional wears a mask... Those that come into our communities wearing a mask to commit crime... You getting arrested". "Fake wannabe law enforcement... The criminal in the WH will not be able to keep you from going to jail".

WTF???!!! This fucking loser idiot is so far up trump’s ass… #ProudBlue www.foxnews.com/politics/sen...

Kelly Morrison on a Twin Cities ICE facility she & other members of Congress tried to visit: "We were told to leave. We met with 2 of the commanding officers & they told us the reason we were not able to stay & meet with detainees is because the funding for ICE came from the 'Big Beautiful Bill.'"

DOJ is still violating the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you." The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?" "Learned what?" she asks Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

ICE is claiming that the officer feared that Renee Good was about to seriously injure or kill him at this moment.

@mcgregorandwillow.bsky.social - now following you here. Sorry if you have to lose your X account.

MacCALLUM: You have about 100,000 dying from drug overdoses, most of those drugs from from Venezuela and other places CROW: That's actually not true. The majority of the deaths by drugs in America are the result of meth and fentanyl. Almost none of that comes from Venezuela

Fox News credulously reports that "the Saudis now say their investment pledge in the US will be increased to $1 trillion." THE ENTIRE GDP OF SAUDI ARABIA IS $1.1 TRILLION, so this is total nonsense.

OK, so our "Secretary of War" currently has two big priorities: (1) murdering innocent fishermen in the Caribbean, and (2) endangering the lives of commuters in Southern California. Perhaps, we are seeing one of the downsides to having a drunk TV talk show chatterbox running our military.

"Authoritarianism, it's a cancer. The symptoms are here, today... We thought it couldn't happen here... and now the disease is growing, metastasizing in America. But there is a cure—it requires you. On October 18, Americans will stand up, peacefully, for what makes America, America." nokings.org

Ah yes, air traffic controllers must show up for work without pay, but Congress can take the day off. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says he’ll be making “necessary cuts” to the department, because nothing fixes staffing shortages quite like firing more people.

"After the warning, neighbors showed up and formed a human chain outside the church to guide parishioners home. NBC Chicago found more organizers doing the same for the beginning of the 6 p.m. mass..." www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/c...

Q: How did the White House decide it was appropriate for Jared Kushner to be working on matters that involve Qatar, the UAE, Saudi Arabia -- 3 countries combined that have given him more than $2.5b LEAVITT: It's frankly despicable that you're trying to suggest that it's inappropriate

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

Ok. So. A lot of congress will say they “submitted a letter to forgo pay during shutdown.” Congress is paid once a month so they have 30 days. Secondly, they want you to believe they are saying they will give up their pay. No. They just hold it until it reopens

Behaviores Report: 100% goode!

Folks — this is not a normal government shutdown. Let me explain the stakes and how we got here.

Here's Nigel Max Edge and Thomas Jacob Sanford. Both committed mass shootings within 24 hours of one another. Two more cases of White on White crime. Is it the fatherlessness in the White community? Are they Inherently violent because of their race? Or, is it the guns? Sip it slowly. 🔥☕️

Oregon AG Dan Rayfield: "California, DC, Memphis, potentially Illinois, now Oregon - this normalization that you can use the US military in our cities. That is un-American & every place that it happens, you will see Democratic attorneys general standing up, drawing a line in the sand & saying, 'No'"

One person having the power to upend entire industries and economic sectors on a whim every day that puts companies out of business and workers out of jobs with no legislative input is an autocracy, regardless of whether that person initially acquired power through an election.

US envoy Keith Kellogg: If Putin was winning, he'd be in Kyiv.If he was winning,he'd be west of the Dnieper River.If he was winning,he'd be on Odesa.If he was winning,he would have changed the government. Russia is,in fact,losing this war.

people all over the country are losing their jobs for quoting real shit charlie kirk said and this sociopathic ghoul will keep his multi-million dollar job talking about how awful THEY are

In ACTUAL, IMPORTANT shooting news....

This exchange says it all.

Whoa.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care. The system is broken.

Firing a Black woman for quoting Kirk’s horrific statements about Black women is insane. It seems the Washington Post would rather perform politeness (and demand that the people Kirk harmed do it too) that tell the truth: karenattiah.substack.com/p/the-washin...

The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice. The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

Pence: "I served alongside the president for four years. I know his style in dealing with these dictators. It's the velvet glove ... Putin only understands strength."

This fascinating time-lapse of an orb-weaver spider building her web is even more remarkable considering she removes it before dawn each day and constructs a new one every night to avoid daytime predators.

Thousands of Israelis stayed home from work, flooded city streets and blocked roads and highways across the country on Sunday, staging some of the largest anti-war protests in months as the military prepares for a major assault on Gaza City. wapo.st/4mvMVfK
