Tom Ridge is rolling over in his grave right now wondering how things could fall into such incompetence

*hidden* donations, not just private

Love it if you could get John Kerry on the pod.

He'd have some opinions.

Obama: "At some point, you age out. You're not connected directly to the immediate struggles that folks are going through. I'm not making a hard and fast rule here, but I think Democrats do well when we have candidates who are plugged into the moment. To the zeitgeist. To the times."

…

If my followers have been inspired by the fierce resistance the Twin Cities has put up to ICE, you should make it a point to take a trip here (April through October 😬), enjoy the wonderful things MN has to offer and support our small businesses. It continues to be a really tough time for them.

Spot-on. Those who purport to advance "Immigration enforcement" should not be armed at all.

We are 2 months into a 9 month program.

It was always about the polls and the midterms.

This narrative can't be lost.

Name a Trump cabinet member who is not an active threat to the country. It can’t be done.

Find the answer by using the @kenwhite.bsky.social principle. Works with most things but it was literally made for this moment.

Also, Bovino was not "chased out of town".

He was promoted to a cushier position.

This stories of false hope are not helpful to anyone.

this is an upper middle class suburb and this is an upper middle class neighborhood.

These homes are 600K each which for Minnesota is top 5%.

It's very weird that their data would send them there unless they are looking for Indians that work in corp IT.

Certainly not "the worst of the worst"

Steph Curry on watching the protests from his hotel window: "In negative 10-degree weather. It was beautiful to see that turnout. That speaks to how important people felt to have their voice heard. In those elements and whatever streets outside our hotel, they were out, and it was amazing to watch."

Strongly recommend watching every one of Aaron's clips of this Bash/ Bovino interview. This is how you do it. Keep asking the question, show video & photo evidence to do real time, as it happens fact checking.
Also: look out for the new DHS talking point: "freeze frame adjudication"

It's never that they are wrong. It's that protestors are paid, or the judge is married to someone with an opposing viewpoint, or the polls are fixed.

For a party that wants everyone to "man up" and "be alphas," they are quite a group of little whiny bitch babies.

For those that are studious, this board is really a means for DJT to accept bribes from other countries for the rest of his life

PROOF EXCLUSIVE: Trump’s “Board of Peace” Just Became a Criminal Enterprise Either the international organization Trump just launched and put himself atop is illegal under federal criminal law, or Trump isn’t planning to honor the result of the 2028 election if Democrats win.

There are more things to be worried about in the world right now than at any prior point in my lifetime, yet I can still assure you that you are *not* as worried about the Board of Peace as you should be.

PROOF explains why the new group is an ongoing crime—and global danger.

not surprising and yet still jarring to read ex-FBI agents describing how Kash Patel and Bongino reacted to Charlie Kirk's murder while running the agency. truly the content creator administration/podcast govt www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

They're doing this so they can call any government program that isn't ICE or the military "rife with fraud" and thus illegitimate. They are trying to manufacture consent to say any entitlement — from Medicare to social security — must be canceled because of extreme edge cases. Don't fall for it.

Research into police shootings show that (paraphrased) black cops are just as likely to shoot a black person as a white cop.

I suspect there's some sort of switch that happens mentally.

Where once you wear a certain type of badge, you are no longer one of "them", you are something different.

What are Neal Katyal's fees, retainer, or bill rate for legal work? Casey Allen's answer: as of mid 2022: $2,565 per hour Likely quite a bit higher now. source: https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/jj-bankruptcy-trustee-balks-neal-katyals-2465-hourly-rate-2022...

Clement might be billing $3k / hour on this one (as well he should)

here is what he, Katyal, and others bill at if anyone is interested

this branch of the government, along with Border Patrol, certainly attracts a disproportionate amount of people that are extremely driven to leverage their authority.

here is another facet of that and it's not for the feint of heart

"47 training days" is "Donald Trump is doing mad king shit that's about his ego, none of this is about what's good for us"

Abolish ICE is absolutely necessary (the institution is rotten and staffed with thugs), absolutely justified to anyone paying attention - but not a winning rhetorical issue

Main message from admin on TV today: We stand by our unjustified murder of an innocent woman and there’s more where that came from if you dare criticize us.

Front pages of American newspapers after Jan. 6, 2021, with headlines like "Capitol Chaos," "Assault on Democracy," "Pro-Trump mob storms Capitol."

It’s hard to believe a president would time an illegal military attack to distract the public’s attention, but today is the statutory deadline for DOJ to release its report on the Epstein file production. Maybe it is just a coincidence.
