As Harry says, “Impeaching Donald Trump is not an extreme act. It’s the BARE MINIMUM required to defend the Constitution, and it won’t happen if we leave it to the same people who spent a whole decade now pretending that this was all just normal politics.”

Brett Kavanaugh’s legacy.
"The legal team said they submitted her US birth certificate along with additional documents they say establish her citizenship – but those materials were still insufficient to secure her release from ICE custody."
25 days. TWENTY-FIVE DAYS they kept this woman after kidnapping her.

But the Baltimore Sun puff piece the other day was just telling me that political challengers to Hoyer and Mfume had nothing to point at policy wise… 🤔
Easy to forget but Hoyer is so right wing on Palestine that he backed Trump's moving of the Israeli embassy to Jerusalem

Writing about Musk’s world wide CSAM generator I’ve gotten the response, “What is CSAM?” I know it’s the preferred, non exploitive term, but I wonder if the outrage would be louder and the pressure on Apple and other carriers stronger if critics used more tabloidy descriptions of the product.

Vichy Democrats.
This was in response to my question about whether Democrats would use the appropriations process to rein in ICE if they Democrats won the majority in the House.
Jeffries: "The killing of Renee Nicole Good was an abomination, a disgrace, and blood is clearly on the hands of those individuals within the admin who have been pushing an extreme policy that has nothing to do with immigration enforcement connected to removing violent felons from this country"

Melt ICE to cleanse this sick land.
The middle frame here is critical. It shows the position of the officer's feet when the *first* shot was fired. He appears already out of danger. And then the subsequent shots from the side into the driver's window look like straight up kill shots after the car had turned and was passing him.
I think it's highly likely Trump aides tried to avoid showing him the video that displays the shooting into the window from the side of the car, taken from the back, because it shows the officer was in no sense in life-threatening danger when he fired the shots:

When it comes to prepping, look to the Mormons. It’s right there in the official name of the religion: to be a “Latter-day Saint” is explicitly to believe in, and prepare for, the end times.
