Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid Footage obtained by The Handbasket’s lawsuit shows a hostile takeover on March 17, 2025.

SCOOP — Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.

The Desire for Terror And the defense of democracy

A purpose of the war on Iran might well be to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States. This would provide Donald Trump with a pretext to try to cancel or “federalize” the coming Congressional elections.

I think we should loudly, publicly start planning the trials for Trump et al for When This Is All Over. Some NGO should pay lawyers to start tracking crimes, preparing legal theories, crafting enabling legislation, etc. It should be the legal equivalent of constructing a gallows in the town square.

I refuse to root for Ken Paxton to pull this out because even though I think he’s more beatable I’m old enough to remember thinking that about Trump in 2016.

UK Prime Minister Starmer announced that specialists from Ukraine will help countries in the Gulf region to fend off Iranian drones.

The US is going to completely destroy the ability of Iran to defend itself or strike back… & then it’s going to maintain that state, but otherwise allow the regime to persist. This will allow the US to coerce new regime leaders w/ the perpetual threat of being killed.

Diplomacy by assassination.

Seriously, try to fathom what the US would do in response if another country initiated a first strike against us and killed our president.

One of those costs there’s probably no way to quantify but is obviously huge is just the huge deadweight loss of time and mental energy spent thinking and talking about Trump relative to a normalish president.

More than 75,000 Post readers cancelled their subscriptions after the recent cuts. An even larger number bailed after Bezos killed the endorsement of Harris, but now the decline feels terminal. Bezos does not want a great paper with a conservative opinion page (like the Wall Street Journal). He seemingly barely wants a paper at all, treating one of the most important American media institutions like an embarrassing child from a previous marriage that no longer fits his lifestyle.

This sounds unbelievable but its true: since Bezos acquired The Post, his wealth has grown tenfold and the Post has been cut in half.

Texas U.S. citizen was fatally shot by an immigration agent last year during a stop, new records show The death of Ruben Ray Martinez, 23, would mark the earliest of at least six deadly shootings by federal officers since the start of the Trump administration's nationwide immigration crackdown.

Our government shot & killed an American citizen during a stop last year. We’re only finding out about it now. Where’s the outrage ⁦‪from Senators Cornyn‬⁩ & ⁦‪Cruz‬⁩ ? This is their constituent.

It is notable that Andrew has been arrested for 'misconduct in public office,' which is precisely what the US Supreme Court decided no American president can ever be charged with.

Hey y'all, I thought I was signed up to @atrupar.com substack, but I wasn't. Which means I've been benefiting from his tireless work providing direct evidence of Trump's shitshow for free.

I have corrected my mistake. If you enjoy his work, throw him six bucks.

NEW LAWSUIT: We're suing on behalf of Vietnam veterans & a historian to stop the construction of Trump's arch.

The arch would obstruct the historically significant view between Arlington House & the Lincoln Memorial.

And erecting it without congressional approval is illegal.

I think we are going to have a Democratic-controlled Senate.

And all we will need for the leadership of that Democratic Senate to do is hold actual, real, impeachment trials.

As the Constitution requires.

Not the bullshit fake trials like the ones that the Senate held in 2020 and 2021...

Everyone in the world comes to get married at the NYC Marriage Bureau. Last week, the Mayor stopped by to officiate a few of those ceremonies.

Trump: The Democrats refuse to vote for Voter I.D., or Citizenship. The reason is very simple — They want to continue to cheat in Elections. This was not what our Founders desired. I have searched the depths of Legal Arguments not yet articulated or vetted on this subject, and will be presenting an irrefutable one in the very near future. There will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not!
Also, the People of our Country are insisting on Citizenship, and No Mail-In Ballots, with exceptions for Military, Disability, Illness, or Travel. Thank you for your attention to this matter! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

mRNA vaccines are the biggest breakthrough in disease prevention and treatment in decades. We're curing *cancer* with mRNA vaccines. To eliminate research in this field, at this moment, is fall-of-the-empire-grade stuff.

ICE's Masks Are All a Lie Working for ICE is actually less dangerous than being an elementary school student in America.

Here's what DHS doesn't want you to know: Working for ICE is one of the safest jobs in America — and last year was the second-safest year for the agency on record.

And the doxxing? It hasn't actually happened even once.

The masks are justified by a lie. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/ice-s-mask...

When you’re losing hope.

Take a deep breath.

Close your eyes.

Think back to when this guy was your president.

When you could associate the presidency with class, decency and integrity.

Now open your eyes

And fight like hell to get someone like him back in office again.
