So they’re arresting members of the press now for covering the very events they instigated. And of course to prevent more coverage.
Saw a sign a while back that borrowed from the Martin Niemöller poem:
“First they came for the press. We don’t know what happened after that.”

Getty photographer was tackled by about 50 agents while covering Whipple.
He threw his camera at another photographer to prevent it from being confiscated.

Huge win here by @aclu.org. Similar to a court order we and our partners obtained recently in Chicago in a similar case.
It's important not just because of the order itself, but because it creates a forum for accountability for federal officers who violate it who can now be held in contempt.

This is effectively a large tax on any store that accepts EBT cards and will make many households’ SNAP benefits unusable.
RFK Jr: "One of the things we're doing is Brooke Rollins is requiring that any facility, and store that accepts food stamps will have to double the amount of whole food that is now available to recipients. So that will change the marketplace around the country."

Another liar. The ICE agents prevented a local physician from attending to her while she was slumped over in the car after being shot.
Sen. Lankford blatantly lies about what the video of Renee Good's killing shows: "A classic law enforcement moment -- they have to fire their weapon and then when you see her car crash, law enforcement is running to her to provide aid. They're never looking to be able to take a life of individuals."

The American people electing Trump after he staged a coup attempt 5 years ago was a nail in the coffin of our democracy. You can rationalize it all you want - But inflation! But wokeness! - but ultimately it was a societal suicide attempt and probably the dumbest collective voting decision ever made

Yes the conman was conned into assisting with an intra-regime coup. They just wound him up abt the oil which he will never get. Everyone else got what they wanted. Weakened Cuba, chance to kick out all the Venezuelan TPS holders.

The hateful or nihilistic people that voted for Trump are lost to the left and you will not win them over by appealing to them. Maybe the lesson is to appeal more to the people who WANT the policies that Democrats supposedly already have

How are these fits of presidential incontinence never covered as their own news events in NYT? Hours of sick hateful bile from the curdled joyless leader of the Christian nationalists sitting in the ruins of the tinsel trimmed White House he’s demolishing — seems like a story to me.

It’s very very frustrating to know that there isn’t much chance of any accountability for this behavior after Trump
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

I think Asha Rangappa is right — they are lining up the external and internal enemies. Or trying to. This is very risky and will almost certainly blow up in their faces.
I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along
There is no national security logic that would impel the US to want to do regime change in Venezuela. It's simply not that important. I'm not even sure wag the dog is the right metaphor for what's happening here. Seems like an insane misallocation of US national security assets and attention.
