I don't recognize this world. Here for news with a few belly laughs sprinkled in. (I know).
I so appreciate the excellent peeps/groups I follow.

I don’t know who this guy is, but he makes a good point about how important the rule of law and due process are. Imagine if a government agency dramatically disrupted an innocent person’s life without following all of the proper procedures. This guy would be outraged I’m sure.

Again it’s important to remember the context of these chats is that a woman was shot five times in her car as she was attempting to donate clothes at a church.
Here's another screen shot of a text where a fellow agent on the "Posse Chat" asks Charles Exum if the bosses have been supportive.

Crypto has come a long way from the days when it was only good for buying hard drugs or getting scammed by NFTs.

Now it's the premier marketplace for Epstein pedos and hostile foreign powers to send untraceable bribes to our criminal president.

So glad we have it.

Maybe if we start calling our body parts gun-sounding names like “revulva” or “shooterus” the GOP will stop trying to regulate them.

Administrative burdens: policymaking by other means
This is why domestic "shuffle" flights between ICE detention centers have skyrocketed, much moreso than ICE deportation flights.

When you are moved to a different jurisdiction, you have to refile your habeas petition all over again. They want to wear people down so they'll give up on their cases.

Now we learn the billionaire owner of a bridge that will compete w/the new Canada-MI bridge met with Lutnick right before Trump issued his threat to shut down the new bridge. The Trump admin is a lawless mafia gangster extortion racket existing to enrich oligarchs at our expense.

One of the worst offenses by political communication scholars is exhorting everyone to maintain cross party ties, and shaming those who don’t.

The fourth dismissal following OR, CA and GA. (GA dismissal was for filing the suit in the wrong jurisdiction.)
JUST IN: A federal judge in Michigan has rejected the administration's attempt to obtain the state's voter rolls.

Judge Hala Jarbou, a Trump appointee, said the law does not require the state to turn them over.

Hardly the main point, but _acting_ ICE Director. They're doing all of this without even fully confirmed agency leadership, even with the Senate majority (plus feckless Democrats who will vote for anyone). ICE hasn't had a confirmed Director since the end of the Obama administration.
Todd Lyons, Trump's ICE chief, is testifying this morning in a House hearing.

Lyons will say in his opening remarks that ICE is somehow the victim of ICE's reign of terror and violence in Minnesota, not the immigrants too traumatized to go outside or the American citizens ICE/CBP have killed.

A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists.

Q: Is Tom Homan easing the situation in MN?

Lyon: "We’ve seen a deescalation in the fact that the protests ... have subsided and ICE has been allowed to do their targeted intelligence-driven enforcement operations."

This is false. I talk to MN folks every day who say NOTHING has changed.

"You all got him McDonalds," says Rep. Brad Knott (R-N.C.), praising the ICE agents for this. "You all did not abduct him."

Hello, DARVO!

"Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim + Offender" is a reaction that perpetrators of wrongdoing "may display in response to being held accountable for their behavior."

His “crime”? Leaving an anti-ICE protest.

No gun. No threat. No justification. Just state violence, on video. This isn’t policing. It’s terror. Accountability now. #ICE #BlueSky #LawSky #MedSky #PoliSky

NEW: The F.D.A. refused to accept an application from Moderna for its mRNA flu vaccine.

Its reason: The agency did not think Moderna compared the new vaccine to one of the best flu shots available. The company spent $750M+ on a 41,000 person study.

I feel crazy at how everyone is acting like this is normal. These are concentration camps being built right before our eyes. These buildings are not meant to house human beings. People will be caged like cattle and die.
