The charges against Don Lemon are ridiculous. He’s a target because he’s black, because he’s media, and because he’s a Trump critic, and because Trump and his minions cannot accept any dissent. It’s deeply pathetic, unamerican, and lawless.

The arrests of Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lundy are unacceptable and a clear violation of the Constitution.
This is a dangerous abuse of power that threatens the rights of every single American.
They must be released immediately.

The issue isn't whether "Melania" is a good movie or a bad one. It's that one of the richest men in America, with business interests affected by public policy, gave the President's family $75 million to make it. Like that's somehow legal.

Today’s retreat is absolutely an attempt to take pressure off of Congress to rein in ICE so that a funding package can get through.
That pressure has been effective. We can celebrate Minneapolis’ win but we need to keep the pressure on. They’re not going to stop forever.

Expect to see a surge of proud ignorance and proplawganda about what you can say about ICE agent Jonathan Ross, identified by local media as the person who shot and killed Renee Good.
In particular, expect a repeat of Rittenhouse-era “accusing him of murder is defamation” rhetoric.
It’s not.

Bluesky is hiding our post which shows what happened in Minneapolis, even though there's no graphic content (the victim is never shown).
Video evidence shows the public what happened and allows people to form an opinion, which is especially important when officials call it an act of terrorism.

It would probably make more sense for Noem to describe this as a tragic incident and say that it is under investigation, instead of immediately going on the offensive and lying

Worse than a regime change
An illegal, hostile corporate takeover of a country
Reporter: Did you speak with the oil companies before the operation? Did you tip them off?
Trump: Before and after. They want to go in and they’re going to do a great job.

Some people are responding to criticisms of this as if people were saying “impeachment is obviously the right strategy.” No. The point is that “impeachment isn’t the right strategy because the GOP may start to be responsible” is an unfathomably stupid and insulting lie.
Asked about the possibility of impeachment, Schumer says "we hope that we can have support from our Republican colleagues to put a brake on this long before it gets that far"
