One more compromise, bro, just one more, and we will put the issue behind us forever and get back to the important work of constructing the most complicated tax code in history

US DOT has not signed a single agreement for a big transit project since Duffy entered office. DOT eliminated funds for billions of dollars worth of projects. Tens of thousands of people are killed each year in car crashes. Transport emissions are increasing.

Meanwhile, Duffy is focusing on pajamas
Duffy: "I can't mandate you dress up, but don't wear pajamas & slippers to the airport. If you dress a little better you behave a little better. We're all getting into tight airline seats. The prices go down when we do that. But I want people to be well behaved & Ia little better dressed would help"

This is the first example I’ve seen of an American government using AI to meaningfully misrepresent actual events with the intent to deceive the public. We are at Stalinesque levels of propaganda.

The Minnesota strike has made it to the top story on NYT. I am not a knee jerk NYT hater, but imo this is noteworthy given the paper’s relative lack of interest in other recent anti-Trump protest activity

I honestly wonder how much of this is deeply psychological for Vance, the inability to reconcile that people can love their neighbors so much when his own mother abandoned him.
Vance in MN: "It's really cold outside. We in the Trump administration want to deport criminal aliens who are sex offenders. It takes a certain level of committed to sex offender criminal aliens to stand outside in -40 temperatures and attack the vice president, but they're committed to the bit."

I will just keep repeating. I have never never never seen anything like this. 30 years of reporting.

This must be weird news to see if you’re one of the literally hundreds or even thousands of university administrators who preemptively censored faculty, scrubbed websites, changed the names of centers, etc.

America has two major parties:

One party exists to serve the demented whims of our Nazi Pedophile Mad King.

One party isn’t sure whether to fund his lawless goons who are shooting legal observers in the face.

We need to end the two party system.

Dad thinking about making little helmet stickers like a college football team for the preschool anti-ICE patent patrol. Spotted ICE, took an early shift, watched tape of earlier incidents - you get a sticker. Gotta figure out how to keep everyone motivated out there.

Respectfully, look at this fucking bullshit that we’re dealing with, not a single person here has “taken the bait.” We have born witness as little kids are used as bait and neighbors are kidnapped on our streets. A mad dipshit is going to invoke the Insurrection Act regardless and you are blaming us
Violence only helps Trump & may provide him an excuse to further trample our rights by invoking the Insurrection Act.

A thing that might not be clear from the outside is that while everyone here is engaged in this fight, ICE’s use of dystopian technology means that you essentially have to pick a lane between observing ICE and doing mutual aid. They are tracking observers’ cars, and taking pictures of their faces.

The House Ethics Committee found that Matt Gaetz did all of the horrible things previously claimed—sex trafficking minors, prostitution (including of minors), drugs, drunk driving, obstruction, the works. The Florida Bulldog has secured and published the House report this evening.

I may not be advocating for doxxing but, I'm definitely saying this with my whole chest:

The fact that we had people showing up, smiling, posing with their kids in their Sunday's best at lynchings and we never sat down, identified, prosecuted those people is the reason they can have these photo ops

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Unclear to me if this fucking five year old kid getting kidnapped is breaking through outside of the Twin Cities and I don’t want to speak for anyone else but this has really steeled my resolve. This shit cannot be allowed to stand.

They're kidnapping kids and shipping them across state lines after using them as bait, and the Democrats want you to protest "peacefully"

Remember when these photos first came out and sane people were all “This is fucking disturbing and Nazi-esque” and everyone else was like “the libs are over reacting again.”

If we ever see the other side of this, there needs to be real consequences for everyone involved. Every single one.
This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis.

Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

I've been waiting for this.

Independent autopsy of Renee Good is in. It's strong evidence against Agent Ross, given what it means about the second or third shot through the left-side window.

It's the second and third shots that make the easiest criminal case of a willful killing.
Independent autopsy in ICE shooting death of Renee Good released by law firm in civil investigation
The results of an independent autopsy for Renee Good have been released as part of a law firm's civil investigation, two weeks after she was shot and killed by a federal agent in Minneapolis.
