BREAKING: The Interior Dept just used a fake “energy emergency” to greenlight gas and mining projects on public lands.
It’s a lie. There is no energy emergency. This is a giveaway to big oil.

The Trump administration wants to make us too afraid to look out for one another. Don't let them.

Trump could declare himself President-for-Life, announce that the Constitution is inoperative in its entirety, and begin mass public executions of all Democrats, and every news story about the subsequent court case would have to include the phrase "Justices Thomas and Alito dissented"

If you're a reporter in a White House press briefing as the spokesperson for the government asserts flatly that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a member of the MS-13 gang who's guilty of human trafficking and you sit there silently without shouting out "PROVE IT!" I'd like to invite you to go fuck yourself.

Got a new one today when the press secretary accused him of being a "human trafficker" just absolutely out of thin air!
Just so we’re clear, everybody calling Kilmar Abrego Garcia a “terrorist” or a “gang member” are lying, and they know they’re lying, and they repeat it for purposes of confusing people who don’t follow this stuff closely into accepting what was done to him.

No biggie. This man is temporarily in charge of, and Trump wants to put him permanently in charge of, one of the two United States Attorney’s offices that handle the most national-security matters.
