Since January there have been two distinct masked, armed gangs terrorizing America’s streets: ICE & the Border Patrol.

Last night, the Border Patrol’s most aggressive commander effectively seized control of ICE. ICE, it turns out, wasn’t aggressive *enough*. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/think-ice-...

Republicans understand politics better because they learn from Democratic victories. The opposite does not happen.

After Obama's 2012 win, Republicans devoured Sasha Issenberg’s The Victory Lab. In 2020, the RNC made staffers pass a test on a book about Obama's campaign.

If the current administration ever ends, many people in (and around) it will need to be prosecuted. From influence peddling to flat-out murder, their crimes seem to accumulate each and every day.

This is a real thing that a judge had to say to the Chief of US Customs and Border Protection.

I also got a warning that my healthcare premiums for my employer provided insurance are about to jump “in the double digits” which is fun for the stupid lack of coverage I have.
Scoop: The Trump admin is lying.

I received a notice from my healthcare marketplace warning that my premiums will increase in 2026. Who does the Trump admin think they are fooling with this BS?

This scrum of pot-bellied, sunken-chested betas trying to bully an all-black clad badass Eastern European wasteland survivor while dressed like Men’s Wearhouse mannequins is peak cinema.
GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office.

One of the first targets here will almost certainly be blocking the mailing of abortion medications like mifepristone. If I'm right, it'll be a the biggest blow to reproductive freedom since the repeal of Roe.
