I bet if some enterprising reporter cross checked the names of those who were in the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, and 3 Percenters and those who have joined ICE in 2025, there’d be a lot of overlap.

They really want to distract you from these files.
Among the newly released materials is an FBI case file (EFTA00020518) dated October 2020 that contains an allegation of rape involving Trump.

For all the leftists who say we don't need to appeal to Republicans: Do we want a 50-50 or a 55-45 Senate?
Do we want to never to be able to win the House? After 2030 census, we may need to win TX, FL or OH just to get 270. Can we afford to say we don’t need the votes of people in these 24 states?

Stop telling me the Republican Party is the party that supports our troops. This has never been true. They repeatedly cut services to service members and veterans.
(And stop thanking me for my service if you keep voting for them)

Military Policeman here. Let me explain Article 92 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. An order is unlawful if it violates the Constitution, U.S. laws, military regulations, directs a service member to commit a crime or unethical act, or is otherwise beyond the authority of the issuing officer.
WATCH: After six Democratic lawmakers posted a video urging members of the military not to follow illegal orders, Trump erupted online, accusing them of “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!” Sen. Elissa Slotkin, one of the senators in that video, joins Chris Hayes to respond.

Since 2019? You mean the last time Trump was President. And it’s affecting Red States who voted for him.
First it was C0V1D and now this?
At what point do evangelicals realize these are plagues G0D is sending as punishments for electing people who deny science.

Folks, remember again that "block lists" on Bluesky are being used for mischief, by putting a lot of people on them and then giving them names that sound reasonable as people to block. Don't use them. Curate your own blocks - it's still small enough here to do that.

I will never understand veterans who supported Trump.

So people will reject the NY Times or WaPo as being “fake news” but will gladly embrace some moron making videos out of their basement without journalistic ethics as legit.

We live in the dumbest timeline.

Democrats complain about the norms over and over and over, and it has ghastly consequences. Trump and his allies don’t give a F about your norms. They will exploit any loophole.

Democrats are going to have to forcefully play the loophole.

What I love about this Officially Verified Bluesky Press Lists is it includes a real mix of people at major legacy media outlets, independent organizations, and freelancers.

We can promote a diverse media when billionaires don't control what you see.

The second clause of Article II, Section 3 authorizes the President to convene or adjourn the Houses of Congress to such time as he shall think proper.

Can he adjourn Congress for 4 years?
