There hasn’t been enough appreciation for how thoroughly BENNIE THOMPSON humiliated FBI official GLASHEEN after he tried to sell the lie that ANTIFA is the top domestic terror threat.
The claim collapsed because it’s a cover.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

in my own experience only, as LLMs get “better,” all I am seeing is the production of texts that are just as wrong as they ever were, in ways that are just as fatally bad, but which now appear more consistently plausible to someone who doesn’t know what they’re talking about

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

So the "real" document, the one voted on and returned by the actual Grand Jury, said No Bill for all three charges. Halligan and the foreman changed it to say "only count 1" later. But the only legit piece of paper we have actually said that the GJ declined to indict!
That confused the magistrate because there seemed to be a facial discrepancy between the two documents handed up by the foreperson.
So, for the record, she had the foreperson pencil in an amendment to the grand jury’s no bill report, specifying that the no bill was to Count 1.

Federal court blocks new Texas congressional map for 2026
The decision is a major blow for Republicans, in Texas and nationally, who pushed through this unusual mid-decade redistricting at the behest of President Donald Trump.

Missed the "Piggy" when I heard it the first time and thought it was awful, though unsurprising, then.
This happened Friday, despite only getting attention on Monday night.
Think about all of the Epstein emails, and here you go. This is 100% in fitting with those dismissive, abusive exchanges.

Aside from alerting people to the presence of ICE nearby, the cool thing about deafening whistles is they make it very hard for these creeps to hear their radios and their phones, as you can see towards the end of this video
Incredible video from Reddit (too large to upload the screencap). CBP agents attempt to detain a flower vendor and end up getting chased into a vacant lot by a crowd of teenagers. What a bunch of impotent sad sacks.
