The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

$83 billion over 10 years = amount Republicans refused to spend on subsidies to keep millions of Americans on their health insurance
$170 billion over 4 years = amount Republicans allocated in their budget for Trump’s mass deportation efforts, so Noem can keep deporting veterans and lying about it

Reminder: If the Supreme Court upholds Trump’s attack on birthright citizenship, some of the ICE officers currently brutalizing Minnesotans may be reassigned to apprehend newborns from the hospital for immediate deportation. Just read the Trump administration’s own memo. slate.com/news-and-pol...

For years, Donald Trump operated on a simple theory of power: threaten loudly, demand compliance, and assume everyone, foreign leaders, governors, judges, protesters, would eventually fold. That theory is now failing him in real time.

👉👉 A federal judge in Minnesota ruled that ICE agents violated the Constitution by storming a man’s home without a judicial warrant. The ruling directly contradicts a secret internal memo where ICE leadership told agents they didn't need a judge's permission to bust down doors.

BASH: You said he wanted to 'massacre law enforcement.' It doesn't like like that
BOVINO: I believe the fantastic training our law enforcement partners have prevented any specific, ahhh, shootings of law enforcement. So good job by our law enforcement in taking him down before he was able to do it

Exactly. Report the facts. One of the most striking facts here are the lies. And they are lies. Intentional lies.
Journalists, please remember that repeating obviously false statements is not balance or fairness. It is actively participating in deception.

Moral depravity comes instinctively from JD Vance. This immediately after he traveled to Minneapolis to incite ICE and CBP officers to use lethal violence against innocent protesters.

They want to fuck with the nation's elections so that they never have to cede power or answer for their crimes.

Part of what strikes me about Trump, Noem, Bovino, Miller, et al and their willingness to lie in the face of overwhelming video evidence, is their absolute certainty in the tribal stupidity and cynicism of their supporters—especially on here—who will blindly repeat their lies.
