would love to know where vought got the authority to shutdown a government agency established by statute

Still that headline 🥴. “Cracking down” “SOME Chicagoans”

Hmm I wonder if that affects anything? 🤔

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Not for nothing we should have started burning things down when the the private equity companies got into the business of private prisons in the 80s!

"Private prisons" shouldn't even exist..

Lucky Jim. Tristram Shandy.

The UAE bought $2B of Trump’s crypto — and gets computer chips

Saudi Arabia gave Kushner $2B for a new Trump Tower — and gets weapons

Qatar gives Trump a private jet and a $5.5B real estate deal — and gets US military protection

This is how bribes work.

Things will continue to be chaotic for the foreseeable future, but I have a feeling that when we're finally past this nightmare and can accurately assess it all, we'll see that the right's insane reaction to Charlie Kirk's death was the beginning of the end for them. bsky.app/profile/chri...

NEW: As rumors swirl about Trey Reed's hanging death at Delta State University, we've published a timeline of all verified events.

It covers everything from the discovery of his body to the autopsy and ongoing independent investigation, with links to relevant stories and documents.

Read it here:

While I’m not surprised young republican nazis are nazis, I am shocked that its Politico is reporting it.

I was an ER veterinarian in a poor area. I saw 3 gunshot dogs. All were shot by the police. One was chained up in a fenced yard next to the house they were going to. Note all 3 lived. They likely wouldn’t bring the dead ones to us.

Of all the things that didn’t happen

interesting that Politico, of all Hill insider, conservative viewpoints, would do this shocking reveal (shocking to the general public not anyone paying any attention at all) and forcing it into the discourse. Is the conservative repub wing going after MAGA wing and leaking this to Politico?

“Total destruction”

What did Tom Homan do with the $50K he took in a CAVA bag from undercover FBI agents?

Just keep asking this everyday. Its a big scandal they can't escape because Pam Bondi and her DOJ killed the investigation. They're cornered on this and the Epstein Files.

Garcia: It’s really shocking for him to essentially lean into this possibility of a pardon. And we know why that’s the case, right? He wants to control what she says. He wants her—someone who has a ton of information on what actually happened—to perhaps… omit memories she might have of the president

🚨After being tased and beaten by ICE, a man dies in a Chicago hospital. Date and location in following post. These are the horrors of 2025 and we cannot look away. 1/2

Here's Trump today openly referring to the $10 mn gift he got form Al-Sisi during his 2016 campaign. bsky.app/profile/atru...

The bbc focussing on what the ceasefire means for the hostages way more than what it means for Gazans, again seeing that disproportionately we’ve become accustomed to for years, this isn’t new, and it’s certainly not ok

MAGA is dressing in plain clothes and trying to incite violence at protests.
They are desperately trying to help Trump.
It’s not a widespread problem, but you should be aware.

If you are new to protests, listen to the local resistance community when they spot a cosplaying agent of chaos ..
