yeah if you had hopes about it becoming less existential for republicans to win elections post-trump I have bad news, every GOP staffer will be a nazi in ten years and every candidate will be in fifteen

I’m starting to realize that all of the annoying pundits just suffer from oppositional defiant disorder increasing your kids’ risk of melanoma to own the libs

ICE is engaged in a very large escalation nationwide, with the agency claiming to be hitting record arrest numbers amid the return of quotas. This has gotten very little attention from the media because ICE learned lessons from the chaotic disasters of Kristi Noem’s tenure. Keep a watch.

ICE is surging in the Seattle area. (Map shows activity in the last week) Do you have your whistle with you?

Merrick Garland that silly goose

turns out it was a bit of a whoopsie to focus on low level j6 rioters rather than throwing the ring leaders in jail immediately and tossing the keys. oh well, better luck next time!

When a regime clearly holds the rule of law in contempt, and views itself as completely above the law, it and its agents don’t have any moral argument for the protections of the rule of law.

Congress

Kori Schake 🎃@kschake.bsky.social

Congress legislated a prohibition on withdrawing any troops from Europe or Asia without an extensive study of costs/consequences and an assurance by the Secretary that it’s in U.S. national interests — neither condition has been met. It’d be great if Congress would exercise its authority.

LUTNICK: It is outrageous that Canada will not put US spirits on the shelf. It is insulting and disrespectful to America SHAHEEN: They won't do it because of the insults from this president and comments like yours

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

There's a sense in which I respect the evangelical leaders who unhesitatingly lined up behind the idea that President Pedophile B. Antichrist, the libertine looting and burning the world every day, is god's manifestation on earth. You have to rework your brain and moral sense so much to get there.
