Dear media:
Seven million Americans marched in protest on Saturday. Prosecutors, scientists, academics, military leaders, etc. are giving up their dream jobs because they will not bend the knee to fascism and you fucking cowards won’t do your jobs, which is to tell the truth to the American people.

When Dems take control of Congress, Trump, Bondi, Noem, RFK Jr., and now Judge Bove should all be impeached. Dems should also launch comprehensive/thorough investigations of ICE and DOJ to identify every single person involved in the abuses and lawlessness we are seeing on the streets and in court.

I am clearing my inbox so that I won’t miss the thousands of articles, editorials and videos condemning Trump’s call to execute of Democratic members of Congress. I know I’ve said the corporate media is full of cowards and hypocritical MFers, but surely they will stand up now.

Dear MAGA, Fox News and President Piggy:
Americans have a First Amendment right to tell the military to follow federal law and their sworn duty. If you disagree with this:
1) Read the Constitution.
2) Read the applicable laws.
3) Go fuck yourselves.

I miss DEI. The days when Yellen was at Treasury, Austin was at DOD, female reporters weren’t called “piggy,” ICE wasn’t a hate group, foreign tourists/international students brought in billions of dollars, and the WH wasn’t filled with people whose only qualification is “White Trump supporter.”

I personally think it’s helpful that people like Megyn Kelly take the time to remind us on occasion what lowlife pieces of shit they are. Since she’s not on national TV defending blackface or claiming that Jesus looked like a guy from Norway, a lot of us could easily forget who she really is.

All of this makes sense if you: 1) stop thinking of DOJ as an agency interested in justice/law enforcement, and 2) consider it a Fox News content provider. Content doesn’t have to truthful, accurate or even make sense. Cases don’t have to be won. The sole purpose is to support Trump politically.
At Trump's urging, Bondi says U.S. will investigate Epstein's ties to political foes
Acceding to President Donald Trump's demands, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said Friday that she has ordered a top federal prosecutor to investigate Jeffrey Epstein's ties to Trump political foes.

At this point, it’s quite clear that Trump, Noem and ICE officials won’t do anything to stop the lawlessness and abuses we see on America’s streets almost every day. Judges can only do so much. It’s time for state/local law enforcement to step up. If these thugs violate the law arrest and prosecute.

Exactly 1 yr before an election, the GOP:
Shuts down the government to protect tax cuts for billionaires and deny healthcare to millions.
Would rather watch children starve than cut a deal.
Pays ICE thugs, but not air traffic controllers.
Closes the House to protect pedophiles.
Great start.

Every one of the dumbasses who voted for this sociopath should be required to print this photo and tape it to their front doors.
When you're a sociopath and get angry that someone else's medical emergency, just four feet away, drew focus from your gloating and you forget which lie you were on.

Looks like U.S. Attorney Box-o-Wine owes me money. (She owes taxpayers more money for wasting everyone’s time on a sandwich.) Sandwich Guy’s acquittal should make DOJ think twice about the cases it’s bringing. It won’t though because this administration is both fascist and stupid in equal measure.
It’s hard to give you an expert take not being there and not watching jury selection. If I had to bet, I would bet not guilty because I think this case is really stupid, Trump and ICE aren’t fan favorites in DC, and the standard in criminal cases (even stupid ones) is beyond a reasonable doubt.

You guys, I am so bummed. I understood that the rich were going to flee NYC immediately after the election. I naturally offered to buy one of their nice apartments for a bargain basement price. So far, no takers. Kind of feels like we were lied to.

If I were a Bond villain wannabe like Stephen Miller and any part of my evil plan involved intimidating cities like NYC, LA, and Chicago, and bullying Democrats into silence, today would be the day that I started coming up with a new evil plan.

GOP and corporate media will likely try to downplay yesterday’s repudiation of Trump. Dems, independents, and independent media have to be louder/more forceful. Trump’s poll numbers are circling the drain and at least 7M Americans took to the streets in protest. It ain’t just “blue” states.

Dems, women, immigrant and Muslim candidates won. Voters rejected voter suppression and countered racist gerrymandering. They ignored threats and election fraud bs, and even voted for free school lunches. GOP didn’t just lose tonight. This was a complete repudiation of Trump’s fascist agenda.

Mamdani faced threats/interference from the Trump White House, openly racist and Islamophobic attacks, a mountain of money from billionaire lowlifes, and a Democratic establishment full of tone deaf cowards. And he beat them. All of them. Reports of democracy’s death have been greatly exaggerated.

The people I hope got the message tonight are the media, weak-kneed Dems and online doomsayers. Trump is not a king. He/his policies are deeply unpopular. There will be elections in 2026 and 2028. If Trump/GOP don’t change course, voters will crush them. The military, ICE, DOJ etc. won’t stop us.

Are any of the rich elites now fleeing NYC willing to sell their apartment at a bargain basement price? Asking for a friend. I understand that he would prefer something on the Upper West Side, but that’s negotiable.

Since CBS heavily edited the Trump 60 Minutes interview, Democrats have no choice but to sue Paramount for $100M. Clearly not a frivolous lawsuit because I read somewhere that Paramount settles things like this.

When Dems control the House, they should open a thorough investigation of ICE. Every lawless asshole should be identified, every incident investigated, with testimony from every supervisor and leader, including Noem. Then, when Dems control the WH, all of these MFers should be fired and prosecuted.
For the second time in a little over a week, ICE officers reportedly shot someone in Los Angeles.
This time, it was a US citizen who ICE officers shot from behind after he warned them that children would soon gather for the bus where they had pulled over a vehicle.

Report: ICE shot a US citizen trying to help kids
According to his lawyer, immigration officers shot Carlos Jimenez after he warned them that children would soon gather for the bus where they had pulled over a vehicle.

So the administration that lies about everything is claiming that the dozens of people they’ve killed, but can’t identify, were drug traffickers, a crime that does not carry the death penalty. That’s the best story the professional liars at the White House and the Pentagon have come up with.
