With this cabinet?
Trump could waddle naked across the South Lawn screaming about how Obama stole his bathrobe and they would just clap.
He’s clearly impaired, but until he physically can’t do the job anymore (and maybe even after) nobody is going to do a damn thing about it.

Three rules in FBI firearm training:
1. Always point your weapon downrange
2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot
3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot
Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

A member of the Abu Dhabi royal family secretly invested $500 million into the Trump family’s crypto company, gaining a major ownership stake.
Months after inking the deal, the U.S. gave the UAE access to 500,000 advanced AI chips per year.
The corruption is breathtaking.

The issue isn't whether "Melania" is a good movie or a bad one. It's that one of the richest men in America, with business interests affected by public policy, gave the President's family $75 million to make it. Like that's somehow legal.

There's something funny at American right-wing talking heads saying "millions of deportations occurred under Biden & Obama, so why are people protesting now?"
They're flat-out admitting that Obama & Biden weren't the open borders commies they claimed, and all their messaging on it was a lie.

So simply naming someone is doxxing, but taking photos and license plate numbers to create a database of the opposition for government stalking and harassment purposes is not?
Naming someone is not doxxing them, and moving them to another city to kill more is conspiracy against rights.

I just want one who can win.
I think you want a Democratic candidate that is essentially Ronald Reagan.
I want an economic progressive (tax billionaires and big business, enact policies that expand the middle class and pay down the debt). If that’s Gavin Newsom, he’s go my vote.

Repeat after me - the institutions of this economy depend on the institutions of this democracy, among which is the rule of law
Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

It's cool that these guys just use pepper spray casually now, against people who are wholly within their rights, without a moment's hesitation. Several shots of them using it as they climb into their cars and drive away, not even a pretense of urgency or need. Just a parting "fuck you" to them.
This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

I think it’s important to point out: ICE does NOT have the same authority as a police officer. They do NOT have the power to enforce laws, only to engage in their specific tasks.
IE: they don’t do traffic, etc. impeding traffic is not a penalty ICE can enforce against
