Yesterday we learned that a racist Trump supporter assaulted a nonwhite Democratic congressman. And it’s not even a big story. Meanwhile, Republicans drone on about ‘left-wing political violence’.

Trump goes all-in on the cover-up of DHS's latest murder of an American citizen, and accuses Gov. Walz and Mayor Frey of "inciting insurrection." Trump also attacks the victim's legal gun ownership, implying that gave agents the right to murder him... 1/2

Noem, Miller, Bovino, Trump, and Vance intentionally made false or misleading claims about Renee Good and/or Alex Pretti, labeling them criminals or terrorists; misrepresenting the circumstances of their deaths to justify, and aid in, the crime of murder. #3E #GoodvsEvil

A Utah plastic surgeon was on trial for falsifying COVID-19 vaccine cards. Then Pam Bondi stepped in. Bondi’s dismissal of the case signals the increasing clout of “medical freedom” activists and vaccine skeptics under the leadership of RFK Jr. With @sltrib.com

🚨 Breaking from the US Senator for Connecticut. 👇 There you have it. ICE has never been about immigration enforcement. It's a weapon used to brutalize Americans and stoke enough fear so that Trump can rig the elections and usher in dictatorship.

an administration staffed to the top with degenerate liars

Noem lies shamelessly: "An individual approached order Patrol officers with a 9mm semi-automatic gun. The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently. This looks like a situation where an individual arrived to inflict maximum damage and kill law enforcement"

Send Bovino to The Hague

BASH: You said he wanted to 'massacre law enforcement.' It doesn't like like that BOVINO: I believe the fantastic training our law enforcement partners have prevented any specific, ahhh, shootings of law enforcement. So good job by our law enforcement in taking him down before he was able to do it

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Van Hollen: "They really think the American people are stupid. I mean, we can all see the video. We saw the video with Renee Good. We saw the video with Alex Pretti. The real domestic terrorists are in the White House right now."

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him. The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

BARTIROMO: But how was he threatening Border Patrol? How was he using a gun to threaten? He was filming it KASH PATEL: That's something I'll let DHS because they are investigating that case (Notable that even Bartiromo seems to be bothered by this!)

Utah police arrested a man who allegedly shouted that Rep. Maxwell Frost would be deported before punching him in the face at a Sundance Film Festival event, the Florida Democrat said. https://cnn.it/3ZwFbQU

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump. Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

Replying to @whstancil.bsky.social

Initial report is that two observers got into a shoving match with eight agents, one observer was wrestled to the ground, and then an ICE agent pulled out a sidearm and shot the man on the ground five times.

robdai.bsky.social reposted

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.

It’s posts like this that make Canada and other countries want to do deals with China and leave the United States all alone. This is the language of an abusive ex.

On January 1st, 24 million Americans will see their health care premiums rise by 114% on average because Trump and the GOP won’t extend the ACA tax credits families depend on. It is clear: our health care is not a priority for them.

Alex Horton, one of the two Washington Post reporters who broke the story, has been a participant in more violent combat than Pete Hegseth by an order of magnitude. It's not a coincidence that he got the scoop.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Q: So you didn't see any survivors after that first strike? HEGSETH: I did not personally see survivors. The thing was on fire. This is called the fog of war. This is what you in the press don't understand. You sit in your air conditioned offices and plant fake stories in the Washington Post
