Jeff Bezos seemed like a white knight when he bought the Washington Post in 2013. Turns out, he saw the Post as a minor property that he could push toward irrelevance and toadyism in order to keep Trump from vandalizing his more profitable businesses.

Smarmy pricks like this always purport to be taking their commands from the Bible, and 100% of the time it is ventriloquism rationalized by a dim sum sampler of proof texts.

The President shit himself on live TV. Melania bombed. The Epstein files are sending shockwaves through the Alt Right. Liam and his dad are back home. A Texas district that was DEEP red for 35 years flipped blue. Pretti's killers have been identified.

Small wins, but you can feel the change coming.

Lmao no buddy that's literally the opposite reason why the House exists. They represent the taxpayers of congressional districts and speak and vote on behalf of the people in those districts. Your job is not to be told the old rapist needs my money to jerk off in a ballroom
WELKER: MTG says you're '100% under the direct orders of the WH'

JOHNSON: The president and I work closely together because we have unified govt. That's what the American people voted for

W: Is there any area where you disagree?

J: Yes. But we do that privately. I'm going to support my president.

In Springfield, Ohio, people are preparing in advance of a “large deportation” promised by the president. To all appearances, the city is 2 or 3 days from a federal ethnic cleansing, grounded in a hate campaign organized by the vice-president and American Nazis.

there's this new dynamic where the DOJ cannot win in court and is (relatedly) incapable of meeting the minimum threshold of professional legal conduct, and so an increasing percentage of its actions are purely for intimidation and content

The constitutional prohibition on using federal law to abridge the freedom of the press is unusually explicit and really does mean what it says.

An ICE agent covered head-to-toe in body cams, just thousands of tiny cameras, beating the shit out of an old woman. That's the bipartisan dream

Worst thing is the trust factor. Years ago the FBI raiding an election office (um,, 5 years after the election, cough cough noise),, at least we probably would have had faith in the FBI that there was something there.
This fucking crew of liars has ended all that.
This is all bullshit and we know it

Federal agents cornered Marimar Martinez, shot her several times, boasted about it, arrested her, lied about her to the public and in the police report, and falsely charged her with assaulting them.

Now the government wants to keep evidence of their lies secret to protect these agents' "privacy."
DeWald cites "privacy interests" for an "agent number 3" and his body worn camera as one of the govt's concerns over making the case material piblic, among other issues.

Watching Republicans increasingly get confused about having to be against guns all the sudden is honestly a little hilarious. The situation isn't funny, but the literal confusion about this one being just for show too is honestly pretty funny.

Congresswoman @ayannapressley.bsky.social has been trying to get qualified immunity eliminated her ENTIRE career.

What the fuck is it going to take to get people to listen to her?
There's no ICE accountability without ending qualified immunity.

They're murdering people. There won't be justice for the lives they've stolen, but there must be accountability.

My bill with @markey.senate.gov would ensure families can sue the agents murdering their loved ones.

I just cannot stop thinking about people like Stephen Miller — even though video evidence shows us what took place — claiming Pretti was an “assassin” who “tried to murder federal agents.” No hesitation to lie openly and obviously about a man shot in the back by agents. Repulsive.

Naming someone is not doxxing. They aren’t undercover. They aren’t intelligence agents overseas. This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.

Our country was founded on resistance to a tyrant.
Attorney General Pam Bondi: "Our country was founded on law enforcement"
Bondi: "It's extremely organized. The signs they have are all matching, they're well written. And look at what's happening today. How did these people go out & get gas masks? These protesters. Would you know how to walk out on the street and buy a gas mask? Think about that. We're not gonna have it"

an administration staffed to the top with degenerate liars
Noem lies shamelessly: "An individual approached order Patrol officers with a 9mm semi-automatic gun. The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently. This looks like a situation where an individual arrived to inflict maximum damage and kill law enforcement"

Never forget that the reason they are so convinced you’re all getting paid is that they are all getting paid.
The fact that every right winger with influence screams "who is paying for all of this" tells you exactly how awash in cash they all are, and how much they rely on that to keep their movement afloat.
James O'Keefe says he's never seen anything so organized as the anti-ICE movement, observers--he seems to think this term is code--everywhere he goes. Who is paying for it??? he demands to know. It's like he can't even imagine people caring for one another.

that's not how anything works they're lying and destroying evidence hope that helps
And what is happening inside ICE detention centers? 404 Media also learned that the federal government claimed that the day after it was sued for allegedly abusing detainees at an ICE detention center, a “system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility.
ICE Says Critical Evidence In Abuse Case Was Lost In 'System Crash' a Day After It Was Sued
The government also said "we don't have resources" to retain all footage and that plaintiffs could supply "endless hard drives that we could save things to."
