Trump & JD Vance are grooming young men to be little creeps.

The leaked GOP texts read like a digital frat basement dripping with the dance-party sweat of insecurity & cruelty.

By making excuses for these folks, they’re ushering in an age of revenge-porn politics.

Remember all the people on the right bitching about how much money we’ve spent in Ukraine? Where are they now that we’re throwing $40B at Argentina and getting nothing in return while making deep cuts to services here?

What Trump is doing is very bad. But I want to push back against some of the numbers here.

ICE did not hire 10,000 agents. It WANTS to. That it keeps running ads suggests it is struggling. And when it does, it seems to cannibalize local police, who don't like that.

More significantly:

Peter Sterne @petersterne.com · 2d

"(Officers) refuse to recognize local or court authority. A judge says you can’t arrest journalists. Watch us. A judge says we have to wear badges. No. State law says we can’t drive around in unmarked vans? Too bad. Elected officials who want to see what is going on should prepare to be arrested."

Purge, Merge, and Surge

Trump is creating a omniforce of armed loyalists to establish his police state

Marie McGowan, 89, has died 3 years after a brutal assault during which she was put headfirst into a rubbish bin. Her attacker, Alex Bailey, believed she was "a man dressed as a woman."

This is the world the transphobes are creating "to protect women."

NEWS: Trump is inching closer to illegally invoking the Insurrection Act.

If ever there was a moment for America’s governors — especially in Blue States — to hold an emergency summit, it’s now.

The federal government is plotting invasions of their states.

What confuses me initially is, doesn't the CIA run underground?! Like they work stealthily. We shouldn't know what they are working on, and neither should any other country.

I mean, other than the obvious, this confuses me.

There is no place for partisan political videos from the govt being blasted in airports attacking the opposition party. That is what authoritarian regimes do. This should not be a partisan issue - it is fundamentally un-American.
