We are not reporters, only civil servants.

My spouse expected it to be as bad as it was even if she could not point to specifics.

For myself, I couldn't comprehend the absolute lawlessness as well as the failures of the guardrails that she imagined.
Sorry, but I don't buy this critique. The press covered Project 2025 in detail, Trump's disavowal was covered with skepticism, and it's not unreasonable to reflect that we didn't know at the time how aggressively and fulsomely they would implement it.
One year into Trump’s second term, some journalists have been “surprised” by the administration’s organized agenda. But Project 2025 was publicly available. Advocacy groups read it and warned us. The press read it and… 🤷‍♀️ www.readtpa.com/p/this-is-li...

Amazon is beginning to fail.

Manufacturers are realizing they don't actually need Amazon anymore and are migrating to other direct sales strategies.

The layoffs and 'World's largest startup' is all code for 'We are in trouble'.

Intercept's reporting for what CBP *tried* to present as the facts is disturbing considering the videos we have all now seen.

claiming that it is already preserving the relevant evidence.

He is just able to repeat what he heard last. Kind of like... I dunno... someone with Alzheimer’s.
Trump: "With that being said, you can't have guns. You can't walk in with guns. You just can't. You can't walk in with guns. You can't do that. But it's just a very unfortunate incident."

The most horrific video of the incident yesterday.

Each isolated incident may not rival Kent State for numbers of dead and wounded but Minneapolis has bested Kent State for carnage via the over-reaction of the state against the citizens.

DHS General Counsel lying about how home intrusions are being used and tailored to avoid 4th amendment violations.

Each of us have our strengths such that fighting all of them together would be suicidal.

Does ANYONE have a video of ICE protecting businesses from Rioters?

Anyone?
Vance: "We have so many people here that we do not want to have here. I do not want so many ICE officers in Mpls. I mean, good lord, it's really really frickin' cold outside. But they're here not even to enforce immigration laws but to protect people from rioters. That's an absurd state of affairs"
January 22, 2026 at 9:22 PM
THIS is a bad lawyer.
Vance on Jan. 8: "You have a federal law enforcement official engaging in federal law enforcement action. That's a federal issue. That guy's protected by absolute immunity."

Vance today: "I didn't say that officers who engaged in wrongdoing would enjoy immunity. That's absurd."

Of course a "forced entry" search requires a JUDICIAL WARRANT, signed by an actual judge, but he counts on MAGA to not know these facts.

He counts on reporters not pushing back and his base being too stupid or brain washed to know.
JD Vance: "Nobody is talking about doing immigration enforcement without a warrant. We're talking about different types of warrants that exist in our system. Typically in the immigration system, those are handled by administrative law judges. So we're talking about getting warrants from them."

And.... this will either never see a courtroom or be an acquittal. Physically obstructing or use of force to prevent worship is not the issue. Disruption of the service is all that is reported to have occurred.

If it was a crime to disrupt... SHEESH!

Breaking up a worship service to identify a fascist pastor is inappropriate. Breaking up a worship service to capture a person that only MIGHT be here without authorization is ok.
