I'd like more of our electeds to think seriously about the gap between what the law requires/prohibits and less about passive "norm preservation" framings of their roles in the state
Flávio Bolsonaro had his passport confiscated by the Brazilian fed police as his brother Eduardo told him to flee to the US.
He is tied to paramilitary gangs, is being investigated & lost his legislative immunity when he left the Senate to run for president.

Every elected and appointed Republican at the federal, state, and local levels, should be investigated, charged, convicted, and sentenced for being a part of an insurrectionist movement and a conspiracy to overthrow the United States government.
That it'll fail because they lack sufficient consolidation and centralized control does not make it trivial that the president of the United States is trying to steal elections and produce an illegitimate sham Congress. It is open rebellion against the Constitution and morally tantamount to treason.
The Executive Branch has no authority to regulate states’ election decisions as to candidate qualifications, and the choice to file a lawsuit like this just days before an election speaks volumes about the political corruption festering at the top levels of the DOJ.
Tuberville: "Zelensky will play hardball, but you know what? He's not even a player in the game. Putin, President Trump, and the people on our side will make the final decision about Ukraine's future."
The thing about the Democrats is that every bad thing people say about them could be true and they’d still be better the Republicans. Like, they could literally force femme kids then make them shit in a litter box at school and they’d still be better. I cannot emphasize enough how evil the GOP is.
break Trump, break MAGA, break the whole rotten GOP establishment, break the will and morale of the Republican voter base for a generation, but then you have to snap turn and purge all these blueanon dunces, champagne communist podcasters, &c or else we will trade one catastrophe for another
🤔🇺🇦🇺🇸 Elon Musk personally proposed slowing down Ukraine’s Starshield satellite system to Trump, who agreed, - The Telegraph.
The restrictions capped Ukrainian drones at around 160 km/h, severely hampering their ability to intercept faster Russian drones and missiles.
No government benefits or services of any kind provided to anyone who served or contracted with this government until they testify in a deposition. This should include items such as social security, Medicare, gov and military pensions, and passports.
(Bloomberg) - President Donald Trump called for executing individuals who leak information to the media during a campaign rally as he railed against what he saw as critical coverage of the Iran war.

Democrats should immediately label Musk a national security threat and declare their intention to nationalize SpaceX and Starlink if functionally is not immediately restored
⚡️ 'This cannot be a coincidence' — Ukraine's Starlink access restricted without warning, Zelensky adviser says.
Ukraine relies on Starlink to operate its mid-strike drones in Russian-occupied Ukraine.
Presidential advisor Serhii "Flash" Beskrestnov said SpaceX introduced speed limits on Starlink terminals for Ukraine overnight without warning, disrupting several missions.
I am in Cap Haitien interviewing people deported from the United States.
I have been doing this kind of work for almost a decade and it literally does not get more dire than this.
People have lost everything they built in the U.S. and are terrified and have no place to go or way to live.
Since potash is back, I’m reminded of this classic:
“Mafia is quite simple. It can't administer something complicated without either destroying the production completely or evolving to something that wouldn't be a mafia anymore.”

One of the few cases where someone deserves a worse death than stage 4 pancreatic cancer.
Let’s hope the whole board doesn’t die before they can be put in their own detention centers.
ICE BEHIND THE MASKS HAVE NAMES
2 masked agents threatened to arrest Robert Peck for legally observing them. He sued.
“And now, because of a lawsuit, the (ICE) agents have names.” A Hylton
📌Nicholas Lapointe
📌Christopher Semler
I hope more people take ICE to court when their rights are violated.
I have blamed
The agents
That hacked
Your website
And which
You probably
Reasonably thought
I controlled
Forgive me
I am rich
And unaccustomed
To taking responsibility
You'd think the fact that the son of the President of the "party of family values" 2nd marriage is to the daughter of Epstein's banker and it was funded by a Rusisan oligarch involved in the mass kidnap of Ukrainian kids during a KGB agent's illegal war
Would be bigger news..
Andreessen Horowitz is investing billions into a bleak future https://www.modelrepublic.org/articles/a16z-portfolio (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49416055)
The precedent here, that the president can simply level federal buildings at will without judicial interference, will come in handy on January 21st, 2029.
Absolutely everybody who knows anything about labor demographics saw this coming miles away. The last 18 months have been a steady stream of “nobody could have predicted” things every minimally knowledgable person loudly predicted.
Looking forward to a universal declaration of mental incompetence for anyone who publicly or privately said that the 2020 election was stolen. For their own protection, take away their ability to enter financial contracts or perform any job requiring more trust than a Walmart greeter.
The 250th 4th of July celebration finds the USA in the same waters it was in on July 4th 1776, and then right after Gettysburg in 1863.
Like 1776, the land is occupied by a mad tyrant and his boot-lickers and mercenaries.
Like 1863, the danger is from within, from our neighbors' bitter spite.
It’s not easy to recognize you’re in a revolutionary moment in the middle of one. The Founders certainly didn’t all at first. Neither did many at the outset of the Civil War.
But we’re in one. We have to be willing to embrace big historical change
Happy 4th

Two ICE agents tracked down a woman *inside a polling place* yesterday. Why?
They demanded that she take down an Instagram post in which she named Jonathan Ross as the man who shot & killed Renee Good (after the Star Tribune identified Ross). www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...
Yeah in case anyone is not clear on it, a significant portion of the modern right actively fantasizes about murdering you. Registered Dem? You. Sociology major? You. Interracial marriage? Definitely you. None of us have the luxury of pretending we are safe. You should have a plan.
If you murder a string of Supreme Court justices and then appeal your conviction back up to the Supreme Court, all the remaining judges must recuse themselves with conflicts of interest. You are automatically freed; the perfect crime. No law school is brave enough to admit this.
Elon and every DOGE staffer, every cabinet member, every presidential appointee, every private prison owner, every Republican congressperson, six Supreme Court justices, every recipient of a corrupt pardon, every scion of industry who cuts a deal with this administration.
We can do this.
Trump makes the same corrupt authoritarian pitch to CA voters that he made to Hungarians: I will send lots of US taxpayer dollars to you if you vote for my guy.
Kim Jong Un didn’t feed his naked uncle to a pack of dogs, but that’s no reason to believe that it won’t happen to Todd Blanche. America is the land of opportunity and he’s making his own luck.
