"Who gives a shit about foreign countries targeting American soldiers in the reckless war we started?" is just a hell of a take for a White House press secretary
BREAKING: The US has bombed Tehran’s main refinery and burning oil is now flooding down the streets into the city’s sewers.
This is a vision from hell, unleashed by the US tonight.

USA to citizens: Here's a MAGA hat, now go fuck yourself
Kennedy: “You have spent $220 million running television advertisements that feature you prominently Did you bid out those services?…The people that you ended up picking had formerly done your political work back in South Dakota.”
Noem: “That’s not correct.”
Kennedy: “I think it is.”
That would be Democratic Socialism, see Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Finland. Pay a lot in taxes, AND get a lot in return. High quality of life. We could have that here, but think of the poor billionaires.
The Department of Education has hung a massive banner honoring a racist college dropout who built a lucrative career out of targeting professors for harassment
When you combine this with the decision of Kansas to revoke any driver’s licenses that identify people as transgender, you realize that years of Republicans demonizing people at the margins-for naked political gain-has become mainstream

If you are younger than 83, you have never seen the US drop a single bomb as a formally declared act of war according to its constitution.
People need to understand that one of the reasons they struck today, rather than next week, is bc the House is planning on a vote early next week.
Trump had to shift dynamics of that vote.
Pete Hegseth easentislly is claiming Anthropic is so vital to US defense that it *must* supply the DoD for the next six month, but also so dangerous to US defense that all contractors must cease *all* business with it.

In a free democracy, the government does not get to suppress political beliefs with a blacklist.
Any politician who supports laws that punish free speech cannot be trusted to protect yours.

I received notification of yet another death at an ICE facility, meaning 38 people have died in custody since Trump returned to office.
ICE is failing to ensure the health and safety of the people it is responsible for.
We need immediate oversight of this entire operation.

The ICE Warehouse Tracker is getting a new column: The Appraisal Gap. We’re now tracking the dollar amount ICE paid above the last official sale or property appraisal. Expect some glitches over the next hour while we bake this in!
NEW: Here’s our searchable list of federal judges who have ruled on the legality of ICE’s mass detention policy — with links to key decisions by each.

The deliberate, systematic strategy of the Trump regime: Seize people indiscriminately, even if they’re going through the system exactly as they are expected to; detain them under brutally inhumane conditions specifically designed to break them - so that they will give up and waive all legal rights.
