Am I the only one deeply concerned that not only can a "staffer" secretly send Tweets from the POTUS account, but that so many people are seemingly able to that they can't figure out who it might have been?
That's a matter of national security surely. Good job they didn't declare war on Russia.

Congressman Tom Suozzi was confronted.
He is one of seven Democrats casting the decisive votes to increase ICE funding by $10,000,000,000. Hideous, grotesque, fascist-loving coward, this man has blood on his hands. We will not forgive him, and we will not forget.

At the pub quiz tonight there was a question about the oldest living former US President (it's Biden, aged 83).
Bill Clinton, George W Bush and Donald J Trump are all 79.
When Reagan (notoriously accused of being far too old and past it to be President) left office, he was aged 77.

The obsession with trans women in women’s changing rooms seems to take up a lot of the media space that could be used to highlight cis male sexual abusers - but the concerns over them are usually only of interest when they are dead after a lifetime of praise

This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.
A citizen.
Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.
"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.
Agents took and sold his phone
And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

Hell fire.
A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis
The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway
They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota:
