Hakeem Jeffries won't commit to blocking additional Iran war funding The House minority leader said Democrats will "cross that bridge when we get to it," but added that President Donald Trump has so far failed to justify his "war of choice."

Hakeem Jeffries is worse than useless

Donald Trump is responding to a Supreme Court loss the right way.

Trump is fucking insane

A reminder that no matter how many videos of ICE abuses appear online, a chunk of America, a big chunk of Trump’s base, is not just totally fine with it, they want it, enjoy it, revel in it. The cruelty is indeed the point. The rest of us non-sociopaths need to reckon with that depressing reality.

Congress will vote to lower the age to prosecute minors as adults from 16 down to 14 in DC.

Let me get this straight:

Congress wants to prosecute 14 yr. olds as adults, but they don’t want to prosecute adults who sexually abuse 14 year olds?

Release the Epstein files.

We should be like South Korea:
Inciting an insurrection requires a sentence of life in prison.
Being mentioned in the Epstein files, more than anybody else, also requires life in prison.
#impeach #remove #jail #forlife

β€œI am somebody” shaped how millions of us saw ourselves as kids, including me. That message mattered. It still does.

Still can’t even get all democrats on board to impeach Secretary Noem.

Congress needs to stop this. That’s their job.

While I was snooping around to get this answer, @statnews.com fucking scooped me! You can read the article here: share.google/m4HckXv8suky.... For the key points in the article, read below.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paulβ€”an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Just in case you weren’t sure, the Trump administration is anti-LGBTQ.

SHOCKING FEDERAL COURT MOMENT: DOJ attorney Julie Le, "The system sucks, this job sucks" to Judge Jerry Blackwell who pressed her on why so many court orders are being ignored by ICE/Trump admin. She asked to be held in contempt just so she could get 24 hours of sleep. @FOX9

This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.

We’re just not a free country.

Any American watching this play out between regime forces and journalists overseas would recognize it for what it is.

You have the right to ask to see the warrant

πŸ“ŒYou have the right to refuse entry without a judicial warrant

πŸ“ŒYou have the right to remain silent

Door-to-door enforcement without judicial oversight is not β€œlaw and order.”

CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.

This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

Dear Cosplaying Nazis,

Your FΓΌhrer is waiting with baited breath for the public you brutalize to kill you in self defense. He wants you to kill us and us to kill you so he can send in real troops and stop elections. You are not policing, you are ethnic cleansing. Get out while you can.

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump β€” 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.
