The last time I saw this much balls gargling was when my VPN connected through San Francisco.

Trump turns to Patel after Stephen Miller praises him for five minutes and says, "So Kash, see if you can top that. That's a tough one, Kash." "That is tough," Patel replies, and then he starts praising him too

There’s no way I’m getting on another flight until Pete Buttigieg himself gives it a little kiss and tells me it’s woke enough to not crash.

✋ Former USG war crimes lawyer here. Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning: Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime. And recognized as such by the US Government. From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.

Little thought exercise - A foreign power takes out Trump and MAGA leaders, who have minority support. They then send out some tweets telling Democrats to take over the country. Think about how smoothly THAT would go. Now add that only one side has guns.

Seeing a lot of rumblings about a general strike, but in history those don't work. Only targeted ones do. However, wouldn't be opposed to everyone claiming EXEMPT on their W-2's for tax withholdings. Turn off the spigot at the source, which is us.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

This video is being actively suppressed on Twitter. Or, the site is just crashing.

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.
