Although it is very Trump. Just blow shit up.

And you have to assume that if they are drug boats, then obviously a large number are still getting through, otherwise the cartels wouldn't continue to risk product and people getting blown up. So again, wouldn't it make more sense to capture, interrogate, and build evidence and intelligence?

Himes: If you've got the capability to blow a boat out of the water, you've got the capability to interdict it, arrest everyone on board, interrogate them, and find out where it was going, where it came from, who the bosses are, and what the distribution networks look like.

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that.

No phones, no staff, nothing.

I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

Johnson: "Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office. She should be working or in the district for her constituents" (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. b/c Johnson refuses to seat her)

the administration posts such outrageous, offensive, dehumazing content on the daily - this may seem rather minor. but it's still fucking medbeds. the believers in the power of all healing medbeds are even a bit fringe in the world of conspiractists.

Astonishing. Once the ICE Brownshirts have finished with the Latinos, who would you bet they will come for next? When you have conspiracy theorists Qanon nutcases jumping to join ICE this is no surprise.

A official Border patrol Instagram reel uses the controversial Michael Jackson song "They Don't Care About Us" with the lyrics:

Jew me, sue me...
Kick me, k*ke me

We have a nazi government.

Matt Novak @paleofuture.bsky.social · 2d

I just checked and this is real. It's on Border Patrol's official Instagram (I don't see it on Facebook) and is being celebrated by Nazis on Twitter, as you can see in the screenshot.

The clip is just 13 seconds long too, so it's a very intentional thing. We've got a Nazi government.

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

People going on this march need to buy every single American fly they can, there shouldn't be a flag left on sale in the country. If protesters are going to be harassed or attacked make it more difficult for the Trump Brownshirts. Wave those flags, make sure the cameras are watching.

James Hell Brooks @kleinman.bsky.social · 2d

If you're going to a No Kings march instead of a witty sign that might elicit a chuckle maybe you could just carry an American flag

Mike Johnson: "With regard to Grijalva, our dear friend Julia Letlow won a special election in 2021. Speaker Pelosi took 25 days to administer the oath of office to her. No Democrats jumped up and down and screamed about that ... you do it as soon as you're able to do it."

Speaker Mike Johnson just said he's completely fine with ICE agents shooting priests in the head with pepper balls and roughing up journalists.

I'm sure he'll tell us soon about how it's the Democrats who are waging a war on religion and free speech though.

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

FOX: You said last week that you would swear in Grijalva whenever she wants. She has written a letter to your office. You have not sworn her in. Doesn't your resistance add fuel to the fire that this is about Epstein?

MIKE JOHNSON: No. This is another partisan manufactured thing

The entire incident is infuriating and terrifying. She’s a Latina woman who was working a service job. On her way home late at night, with her headphones in, she was detained for an hour by masked federal agents who wouldn’t give her their names.

Maria Greeley, 44, had just finished working a double shift at the Beach Bar on Ohio Street
earlier this month when she said she was surrounded by three federal agents who grabbed her, forced her hands behind her back and zip tied her.
Headphones in, Greeley had been focused on getting home to her two dogs for a walk.
Instead, she said she was detained by masked agents who did not answer when she asked for names. They questioned her for an hour, she said.

if anybody is good at lip reading or can isolate the audio, I'd be very curious to learn more about what these two were talking about here. it certainly didn't sound on the level.

Trump's conversation with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is caught on a hot mic. Hard to tell exactly what they are talking about, but Subianto asks Trump about meeting Eric Trump and Don Jr, who supposedly have nothing to do with government while they run the family business.
