A devastating day for the paper of record in our nation's capital.

Bezos just spent $40M sucking up to Trump with Amazon's 'Melania', but is now cutting a third of @washingtonpost.com staff – including much of the international & local teams – for "budget" reasons?

The complaint was closed administratively by the intelligence community inspector general's office in June 2025, under prior leadership, watchdog says.

SO @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social claimed that he would begin impeachment of Noem if trump didnt fire her. Trump hasn't fired her and Jeffries is too much of a bullshit man to actually follow through.

One lesson from the Epstein–Mandelson affair is that we need to stop routinely rehabilitating political careers after serious scandals.

When politicians knowingly engage in grave ethical wrongdoing, that should permanently end their political careers. Being "talented" should not override that.

Thanks to the efforts of @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social and other advocates, the boy in the blue bunny hat—five-year-old Liam Ramos—is home from ICE detention.

But hundreds of kids remain in facilities that are no place for children.

Release them all.

I've heard from people in other cities "I'd like to see them try that in __!"

No. No, you wouldn't.

We have guns pointed in our faces in MN. I think you'd change your tune if this was happening to you, your family & your neighbors.

Nobody knows EXACTLY how to do this. This is NEW to all of US.

This has to be right up with one of America’s darkest time. ICE KILLING Americans, arresting honest hard working immigrants, similar to the same white immigrants arresting them.
DISGUSTING, HORRIBLE AND EVIL. America cannot survive as a nation with this kind of leadership.

This Homan presser is completely incoherent. He started by announcing a drawdown of 700 agents (good!) but then pivoted to whining about "rhetoric" (bad) and suggested there will be more bloodshed if it doesn't stop (grim). Not clear to me that anything is actually changing on the ground here in MN.

James Comer is bringing Hillary Clinton before his committee to testify about Epstein despite having zero contact with him, but not Epstein’s neighbor Howard Lutnick who lied about his connections to Epstein over many years which is proven in the files.

Our constitutional right to free speech and peaceful protest is under attack.
If we lose the right to protest, we stand to lose so much more.
The criminalizing of protest and dissent has a long history in America
The Trump administration is accusing protesters of ‘domestic terrorism’ but this brazen tactic is as old as the country itself

Just listening to Tom Homan live. Make no mistake. He’s ramping up ICE fear and intimidation . He’s full of shit. He’s said “President Trump” 50+ times, praising him. And blaming Biden to please Trump. What a piece of shit. Cava Homan.

If we ever get a Constitutional govt again, we need to look at speech for govt officials similarly to what we do w corporate: penalties for false or misleading information.
It may take a Const Amendment but I think ironically—bcz all sides think the others lie—it will get strong popular support.

WRONG. I-205 administrative warrants are not issued by immigration judges. They’re signed by ICE officers. And EVEN IF THEY WERE issued by an immigration judge - they are executive branch employees, NOT judicial branch. JUDICIAL warrants are needed to enter a home without consent.
Q: You're a constitutional lawyer. Can you detail the 4th Amendment protections someone has if ICE approaches their home w/an administrative warrant?

MIKE JOHNSON: When ICE goes to execute a warrant, it's issued by an immigration judge, & that is a sufficient legal authority to go apprehend someone

I think all these men who benefited financially from proximity to Epstein POST CONVICTION OF PEDOPHILIA should have to pay reparations to his victims, whether they abused women and children or not.

They all knew what was going on, and help legitimize him with their association.
