⚠️More on Tulsi Gabbard in Georgia:

• Trump personally ordered her there.
• Gabbard met with FBI agents searching ballots related to Trump’s conspiracy theory about the 2020 election being stolen.
• Gabbard called Trump who spoke to agents on speakerphone.

Wow. This is so fucked up. Saying a woman is connected to hang members because they sexually assaulted her???

And Portland press, the DA, and law enforcement just let those statements go unchallenged.

Nathan Vasquez - you're a coward.
DHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was “involved” in a gang shooting.

Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.
After Border Patrol shot two people in Portland, DHS claimed they were "vicious gang members" tied to a past shooting.

But records I obtained reveal a US prosecutor has since directly contradicted DHS, saying, "We're not suggesting he is a gang member." My dive into how DHS' claims have collapsed:

One can hope, anyway
The President shit himself on live TV. Melania bombed. The Epstein files are sending shockwaves through the Alt Right. Liam and his dad are back home. A Texas district that was DEEP red for 35 years flipped blue. Pretti's killers have been identified.

Small wins, but you can feel the change coming.

Most of us are. I lived on the Umatilla Rez for 13 years so I think I was kind of a double immigrant????

It's bullshit that we are acting any of the rest of us are different.
We are all immigrants. Unless you came over on the Mayflower. I am an immigrant to Canada having grown up in the US. America was built by immigrants. Some people have forgotten that.

READ THIS!!!! It's anger. And it's correct.

Administrative warrants shouldn't exist.

Don't get me started on administrative judges.

Anytime I try to explain to people how billionaires destroyed independent media through lawsuits I sounds like a kook
we said all along that they wanted Gawker dead not because we embarrassed a pro wrestler but because the Epstein story is one Gawker was covering a decade before most other people caught up & was just one of many stories exposing powerful people and their misdeeds
Among the batch of newly released emails from Jeffrey Epstein: Epstein telling Peter Thiel he would “gladly share…expenses for the Gawker suit.”

This was sent the day after @rmac.bsky.social and @mattdrange.bsky.social reported in Forbes that Thiel was behind the lawsuit that would bankrupt Gawker

Shocking to see someone from the Trump administration lying about visiting Epstein Island. So weird.
This new file released appears to show Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick discussing visiting Epstein's island in 2012.

Lutnick previously claimed that he cut off ties around 2005 with Epstein after being revolted by him.

This is actually important research
Finally got around to a bit of research I'd been meaning to explore, and: There is no documented instance of an ICE officer being identified and assaulted while off duty because he wasn't masked. www.pbump.net/o/ices-excus...
ICE’s excuse for wearing masks has never actually manifested
There have been incidents of harassment and threats. But there are no apparent incidents in which identified ICE officers have been assaulted off-duty.

DC, everyone should have heat on days like today! ❄️

If you're a renter and your heat is out, submit a maintenance request and call our free Consumer Protection hotline at 202-442-9828.

We can also help if any of your utilities are disconnected, and the utilities are the landlord’s responsibility.

They actually need to do a contempt of Congress
Exactly how long does it take to hold someone in contempt, when there is blatant defiance of a court order?

Keep asking until the Epstein Files are released.

Leaders of the so-called “pro-life, small government” party who relentlessly warn of tyranny are standing by as masked agents roam the country and brutalize its people. The hypocrisy isn’t surprising — but it’s staggering. Remember this.

My mom was urged to abort me for her own health. It doesn't freak me out in the least. I don't understand why it should.
"And if my parents had made a different choice, I wouldn't be here today leading Congress into helpless irrelevancy, providing cover for a brutal American dictator, setting the stage for World War III, and ... hang on, hang on, let me start again."
Mike Johnson: "I was the product of an unplanned teen pregnancy exactly one year before Roe. A lot of people tried to convince my very young parents that they should just take care of that problem. But I am eternally grateful that they allowed me the chance at life."

Someone should report on the dimensions of that stand he's behind. Dude is tiny! Is this thing three feet tall?!?!
To be fair the average five-year-old probably presents a threat to Greg Bovino
Q: Do you have any moral or ethical qualms about detaining a five-year-old on his way back from preschool?

It appears that juries are no more likely to believe Kristi Noem's lying bullshit than they are to believe Pam Bondi's lying bullshit. Nice try, little Greg Bovino.

It's it bad of me to say the places I care about will be fine and the others can fuck off???

Yeah. That's mean spirited. I'm sorry.

Why are we no longer hearing about that ice agent's internal bleeding???

What's his damn name? He shot a woman in the face. Video completely debunked the story that he got hit which proved the internal bleeding to be a lie, but when has Trump's admin ever stopped because they were obviously lying??

Okay, I know I'm a vegetarian so this probably doesn't seem like something I would support - but I do.

I know a LOT of people that hunt to help feed their families. And I think it's a heck of a lot more ethical than feed lots. I also am for inclusion, so I like this. I really do.
“This makes you appreciate what you have,” park ranger Rob Hoff said, pausing to contain emotion. “These hunters are in control of their own hunt again, and you see people do things that they otherwise could not do.”

You know what "almost violently" means?

It means the disruption wasn't actually violent.
