I really can’t believe Senate Republicans have been so supplicant on Greenland (everything else, sure — very on-brand). Will they really let Trump break NATO? And go down as history as the cowards that let it happen? There been saying some of the right things, but need a War Powers resolution asap,

Arnoldo Bazan, a 16-year-old U.S. citizen, was put in a chokehold by ICE agents.
Agents took his phone, which he tracked to a used electronics vending machine near an ICE detention center.

The Minnesota shooting case is now metastasizing unlike any i've ever seen. The successive resignations of heads of the crim section at CRD and 3 top career prosecutors in Minn -- who had hung in all this year n/w/stg multiple outrages-- means the Department is in open revolt in DC and the field.

There appear to be multiple instances like this. Can only conclude that the “didn’t you learn anything” lines are a coordinated effort.
ICE agents surround a man's car
One tells the driver, "Don't make a bad decision," while the agent's weapon is drawn
Another asks the driver, "You did not learn from what just happened?"

This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.
Jerome Powell: "This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions—or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation."

A murderer is a murderer. If the problem is that the state is sponsoring and defending a murderer and saying so aloud causes the state to sponsor and defend more murders, the source of this problem becomes utterly apparent.

Even MAGA must be seeing the brazen corruption and wondering why it’s not trickling down to them.
Big Oil spent nearly $100M to get Trump elected in 2024.
Now Trump is returning the favor, giving them advance notice of his Venezuela attack and inviting them to the White House to discuss how they will divvy up control of the country's oil.
