Jeffries: "I remind all of these corrupt individuals, these sycophants -- the statute of limitations is five years. The American people want accountability, deserve accountability, and will get accountability."

In a stunning moment, Fed Chair Jerome Powell just blamed Donald Trump’s immigration policies for destroying our economy. Wow.

JD Vance can dismiss the Young Republicans as a college group chat.

But let's be clear: the group chat includes a State Senator, a Trump Admin official, and multiple Republican staffers — and some of the worst comments came from folks associated with Mike Johnson, Elise Stefanik, and Mike Lawler.

It’s cold-blooded, cynical murder. The fact that the boats and the bodies are (it seems) lost at sea deprives the victims of all identity and dignity. It also destroys any evidence of their innocence or guilt.

Is there suggestive evidence of this? He’s absolutely hateful and a mad king. I don’t even care (same as you) if they are drug runners. We have laws. It’s absolutely murder.

It was originally in a newspaper. It has since been copied widely online. I’ve tried to find out more about Nate White, but he keeps a very low profile.

If you have to ask the government permission to protest the government, then what you have is a Bill of Privileges, not a Bill of Rights. And privileges can be taken away for any reason at any time at any place.

remigrate is not a dog whistle, and is open nazi language

Remigration

Not to be confused with Return migration.
Remigration is an originally European far-right proposal of ethnic cleansing[1] via the mass deportation of non-white immigrants and their descendants, sometimes including those born in Europe, to their place of racial ancestry.[2][3] It is popular especially within the Identitarian movement.[4][5] Some proponents of remigration suggest excluding some persons with non-European background from such a mass deportation, based on a varyingly defined degree of assimilation into European culture.[6][7][8]

The rule of law means future accountability must always remain possible. DHS is implying that accountability itself is illegitimate - a stunning rejection of democratic norms.

I’m joining 22 AGs in speaking out against the political prosecution and persecution of New York Attorney General Leticia James.

We will not stand idly by while justice is upended, and this president uses the criminal legal system to pursue his personal vendettas.

Since a New York State judge found Donald Trump liable for years of business fraud and illegal dealings in a case led by Attorney General James, Mr. Trump has repeatedly broadcast his desire to arrest and prosecute her. Mr. Trump has now done just that — demanding an indictment of Attorney General James even though the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia Erik Siebert resigned rather than seeking an indictment.

None of us, whether our states’ top legal officials or members of the public, should stand idly by while justice is upended and this president uses the criminal legal system to pursue his personal vendettas. The Trump-directed arms of the executive branch have arrested a sitting member of Congress, charged the former director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and criminally investigated a governor of the Federal Reserve, among other retaliatory and politically motivated pursuits. These kinds of prosecutorial abuses are the hallmarks of police states and authoritarian regimes — not America’s democracy.

We stand in solidarity with Attorney General James and others who have been targeted for reasons wholly antithetical to the pursuit of justice. We commit to doing all we can to ensure that the rule of law prevails and to resist the further corrosion of our system of justice.”

Murder. The awful thing about these boat murders is that they seem RECREATIONAL.

They’re remote, seen on a screen with a cartoonish ‘KABOOM’.

The US is letting an amoral maniac run the country like this. Someone should be challenging this at SCOTUS level. Other countries need to charge us. Idk international law, and idk if the ICC has enough to sign a warrant. I suppose he feels protected by all ‘his’ atomic weapons.
