It appears ICE murdered someone in cold blood today and their plan is — per usual — to create a fog of lies so the killer does not face justice. We simply can't let that happen. The shooter has to be arrested and so does Bovino. They can't just kill people on the street.

So, this is autocratic breakthrough, no? If he can fund his preferred programs and bypass congress’ power of the purse, what’s to stop him from invading more places, finding more funding, and just never signing another budget again?
If Trump is really stealing spending power from Congress then it would be insanity for Democrats to vote to fund the government later this month. Shut it down until the president stops wiping his ass with the Constitution.

I've watched thousands of videos from the Jan. 6 riot as part of NPR's reporting and archive project on that day.

Here are some of the lesser known videos that have really stuck with me.

So Maduro suspected his VP, or someone high up, was planning to turn on him. Could explain Trump’s anger and surprise at the VP’s public denouncement
OSINT: The Government of Cuba has announced that 32 Cubans were killed in the recent military operation by the United States to capture Venezuelan President President Nicolás Maduro, most of which were likely part of the security team protecting Maduro. 2 days of mourning have been declared in Cuba.

Is there a back room deal between Trump and Xi, “I’ll look the other way if you do?” Stay tuned!
If Xi Jinping invaded Taiwan right now, and toppled the president there, on what grounds would the United States object? Or have any credibility to say anything?

If Congress still existed, they’d be very upset right now

We’re doing “Mission Accomplished” again, declaring that forced removal of a foreign leader means problem solved?

Except with Venezuela, assuming regime change will work on its own, without an occupation/stabilization force or plan for a new government?

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar:

"Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

I have a rare, life threatening genetic condition. Anyone that thinks Costco or Sam’s Club can offer health insurance hasn’t thought very hard about what wholesale and bulk discounts mean, and what they require in order to be effective. Or, y’know, they’re just liars

Well you know what they say!

If the law is on your side, bang the law,

If the facts are on your side, bang the facts,

And if neither the law or the facts are on your side, bang the table

Trump would cut up journalists too if he thought he could get away with it
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

The problem with the national guard troops in DC is that if you yell “go back where you came from” at them there’s a good chance they’ll think you’re on their side
