KARL: Why is the Defense Secretary afraid to interact with journalists who cover him?

JOHNSON: I reject the premise

KARL: The guy has only had 2 briefings and he basically forced the press out

JOHNSON: I can't remember a Secretary of Defense who has been so transparent and out in the open

It’s almost as if some folks are arguing in bad faith and are creating engagement bait with nice microphones.

Anyone who praised Trump for the agreement, including a couple of former presidents, look like fucking idiots for thinking it was genuine.

WOW! Protesters created a HUGE human sign on San Francisco’s Ocean Beach reading “No Kings YES on 50” to support California’s Prop 50 and stand up against Donald Trump’s fascist regime

I have to say, none of the Venezuelan boat bombings, the tariffs, and the Santos commutation make any sense whatsoever, not from a “Dr Evil” perspective nor PWN TEH LIBS nor 12D chess nor even from Unified White Supremacy Field Theory. Just sheer pickled idiocy all the way around.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.

White words on a black background read:

50+
Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino.

~130
Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers.

~20
Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.
