New in PN: The regime's mind-bending lies are a tactic
"The VP told them they could kill anyone who annoyed them. Pretti annoyed them. So they killed him. Now the lies Bovino and Noem are telling about Pretti’s death are intended to encourage further extrajudicial executions and likely will do so."

Thinking about them in terms of truth or falsity is a category error.

@colorado.gov Governor Polis, respecting the sovereignty of your state is paramount. I don't know why you'd consider pardoning any person convicted of attempting to subvert your citizens' right to free and fair elections. If you do, the administration will steamroll one state after another
Election integrity means not pardoning Tina Peters, Governor Polis.

Keep the pressure on the Senate to give a hard NO to renewing the billions in ICE funding. Senate minority leader Schumer says he's voting no. Call me skeptical after they caved on the past two CRs.
Reminder: ICE’s budget has not been renewed — the House voted, but not the Senate — It will take 10 Democratic votes to stop it

So Dems who decided to move forward with giving the DHS even more money cannot continue to hide from the truth. Your hands are all over this. No amount of retraining will change the brutality of this regime. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov
Do not watch the video.
They beat then shot the person to death in south Minneapolis Today.
It wasn’t just a murder.
It was an execution.
Watching it won’t help anyone.
Warrants must be issued immediately.

One of the worst things about Missouri is that we continue to run the plays of other failed states.
Work requirements for Medicaid. A sales tax to replace income tax. Abortion bans. School vouchers. Sending tax cuts to the wealthy.
If the governor were a football coach, he would be fired.

Agents took his phone, which he tracked to a used electronics vending machine near an ICE detention center.
Yes: ICE is stealing and selling people’s things after brutalizing them. There are no words.
