Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

DHS says our new piece is "dishonest, slanted, and fundamentally inaccurate" but won't say why. Here's the story where we show with evidence that DHS spliced together clips spanning years and multiple locations to create its own reality. Gift link wapo.st/4nuDGwf

The FY26 Presidential Determination(aka refugee admissions ceiling), is to be officially published tomorrow WITHOUT legally mandated consultations with Congress having taken place.

Refugee Council USA @rcusa.bsky.social · 1d

RCUSA is outraged by the White House’s Presidential Determination on refugee admissions for Fiscal Year 2026, which sets the refugee admissions goal at a devastatingly low 7,500 – the lowest ever set in the 45-year history of the USRAP

See RCUSA's full statement here: rcusa.org/news-and-med...

The republicans’ fear of repercussions to any perceived disobedience to Trump is stronger than any other mechanism to their actions.

Because their party no longer has any guiding principle other than retribution.

Cowardice is the only thing they’re allowed to embrace.

Taking a mental health break from the chaos today. Got work to focus on and need to protect my headspace for a few hours. If the world’s still here later, I’ll check back in. Thanks for your patience.

The Federal government will never hold them accountable. The Reconstruction period and Merrick Garland and Trump’s pardons all proved that.

But states can hold these assholes accountable without Congress or pardons mucking it up.

I’m proud of Illinois!

Out: New York Times, Washington Post.
In: Tim Pool's Timcast, Gateway Pundit, the MyPillow guy's LindellTV.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 79th day out of the last 91.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.
