It’s ironic that the same people who applauded DOJ for indicting Jim Comey & Tish James are complaining there was a lack of evidence to search Mar-a-Lago.

incredible that the oldest scam in the book — “look away from the greed and poor leadership that destroy your chance to make a career, it is the [blanks] that stole your job!” — still works

I was devastated to hear about the loss of Rob Reiner and Michele Singer. Rob is a generational talent that used his voice to advocate for a better world. We live in a better country because of them. They will be missed.

Chancellor Merz is right: Europe can no longer depend on America.

But he's wrong to say that America is pursuing its own interests.

Trump is pursuing his deranged and corrupt interests, not ours.

Ahmed Al Ahmed, is 43, a father of 2 and owner of a fruit shop in Sutherland, Australia.
Yesterday, he disarmed a terrorist targeting a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach where 12 humans were killed.

Ahmed was unarmed. He was shot twice and is expected to make a full recovery. Hero. 💔

Add to this that HSI just filed a declaration in our case challenging these policies saying they can’t trust REAL IDs as proof of status.

So showing your papers isn’t even enough to end the stop.

Fuck ICE. Open blatant assault on an unarmed woman who was not commoding traffic in any way being openly brutalized and only ONE person inquires about her well being?!?! Fuck you. I hope she works for a law firm.
Another ICE agent assaults an unarmed citizen - a woman - for filming on a public street! He walks across the street, slaps her phone out of her hand and slams her head down onto pavement.

The incident occurred in the Columbia Heights neighborhood of Washington, D.C.

This MUST end! #EndICE

"It doesn’t seem to have occurred to the administration that spending the last several months going scorched earth on the rest of the world might make other countries the tiniest bit disinclined to deal with us."
We're the baddies now. Our new Security Strategy shows it.
It's a gift to the Kremlin and a middle finger to our erstwhile allies.

it is also just hilarious to insist that eight months of rush job “scholarship” outweighs decades of settled history and 140 years of settled law
Giving the game away. he has more “scholarly ammunition” than he did in January because a bunch of professional bootlicks and liars who have never had real jobs started lying about birthright citizenship in January.
