LISTEN: There are a lot of folks out here working tirelessly to get the truth out there. Replying to us that nothing matters because there'll be no consequences is not only incorrect, but it belittles the work we do. It's insulting and shortsighted. Stop following us if you don't want the info.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Wild to me that the QAnon believers who powered Republican politics between 2017 and 2020 were basically correct that a ton of American elites were involved in a child sex trafficking ring, and just very incorrect that Donald Trump was the person fighting to put a stop to it

Every other “reporter” in that room that doesn’t walk out immediately when Trump does this should never be seen as professional or credible again. I’d say they should be ashamed of themselves, but appropriate shame seems to be one of the casualties of the Trump era in the United States.
Trump to Kaitlan Collins after she pressed him on getting justice for Epstein survivors:
"No wonder CNN has no ratings because of people like you. You know, she‘s a young woman. I don‘t think I‘ve ever seen you smile. I‘ve known you for 10 years. I don‘t think I‘ve ever seen a smile in your face."

A UAE investor secretly gave Trump $187 million and his top Middle East envoy $31 million. And then Trump gave that investor access to sensitive defense technology that broke decades of national security precedent.

Life Lessons I learned at 12 while shooting cans in the backyard:
Three rules in FBI firearm training:
1. Always point your weapon downrange
2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot
3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot
Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

This would be akin to President Biden speaking to the FBI agents right before they searched Mar-a-Lago. I'm sure Republicans would have been totally fine with that.
Breaking NYT:
Behind closed doors, Tulsi Gabbard met with some of the FBI field agents responsible for the Georgia election office raid.
During the meeting, she called Trump.
Trump addressed the agents on speakerphone, asking them questions as well as praising them for their work on the inquiry.

So believe me I understand this is deeply frustrating and unfair, but a march that does everything right and still gets tear gassed is a successful march that is winning.
A lot of the strategy of protest is luring the authorities into engaging in obviously, transparently unjust uses of force.

It's hard to overstate how ell-organized the portland march that got gassed was... organizers made the crowd promise to be peaceful, said the march would slow in front of the ICE building but not stop, that we would stick to one chant (ICE Out). They did absolutely everything right and got gassed.

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall.
But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

If you want the Dems to stand strong then splitting the DHS funding off from the rest is smart. Otherwise, the caucus would crumble as soon as complaints about troop pay or air travel began.

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people.
But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

the worst weeks on here are the ones where people who share goals and share values convince themselves that people who don't agree on tactics are evil rather than just being fuckin' idiots.

The journalist explicitly identifies himself and attempts to stay on public land, but is threatened with arrest to prevent them from using their first amendment rights. They are breaking absolutely no law. This isn't even a close case.
We’re just not a free country.
Any American watching this play out between regime forces and journalists overseas would recognize it for what it is.
