Who among us hasn't sold stolen oil and stashed the profits in a bank in the country that bailed out our son-in-law's building at 666 Fifth Avenue?
Trump is selling seized Venezuelan oil and putting the cash in a bank account in Qatar. Nothing to see here. www.semafor.com/article/01/1...

Minnesota remains under siege by ICE, they continue to terrorize communities and carry out acts of brutality against community members. This is what Trump and his Gestapo hope to spread nationwide.

This shouldn't even have to be said. It is just following the law and vital long term international agreements.
Trump wants to kill NATO because he prefers Russia and China style governments with him in charge. He is criminally ignorant and doesn't care about the US Constitution.

I think Democrats in Congress should begin to make the argument that any attack against Greenland, and Denmark as a NATO ally, absent congressional authorization is an illegal order that must be disobeyed.

Near Lyndale and 24th Ave in Minneapolis tonight, feds have reportedly shot another person.
Preliminary info is shaky for now, hearing two people injured.
BORTAC just rolled up in an armored vehicle. A crowd is gathering outside the police tape—MPD presence as well.

Unfortunately, this is the part where I remind people that Black 10th graders get beat up by cops every day.
This is the part where I remind people about modern civil asset forfeiture, where US police steal more value from people (mostly Black) than every form of theft other than wage theft.

It is in no way “law enforcement” to beat up an American 10th grader and steal and sell his possessions.
This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.
A citizen.
Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.
"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.
Agents took and sold his phone
And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

Just guessing here, but I suspect the White House is pushing so hard for wars of conquest on multiple fronts because they see their support collapsing ahead of the midterms and worry they won't get another shot. An example of how tyrants become more dangerous as they get weaker, not less.

The House not only passed the ACA extender over Mike Johnson's objections, rather than leave it to him to get it sent to the Senate in short order, it voted to REQUIRE it be sent swiftly.
So, then what happened?
It was sent swiftly… with the WRONG language.

It seems that the text that was sent to the Senate was the placeholder bill as introduced (yes, the one providing for a time capsule and so forth), not reflecting the amendment adopted by the House which turned it into the ACA subsidies bill that they actually wanted to pass.
