I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.

She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

This is excellent coverage: it gives readers context beyond the specific incident, showing a pattern of excessive force, and also documents that DHS keeps using the same and increasingly debunked explanations. Much better than both sidesing the shooting.

Also weird to list DC among cities with solutions β€œnot usually found in the market,” when we’ve spent the last 2 decades slashing parking requirements, providing bonus density for inclusionary units, offering tax incentives & regulatory flexibility for office-to-residential conversions, etc., etc.

What’d Mamdani say to get the WaPo editorial board so riled up, anyway? Did he say something totally unhinged, like that he could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and not lose any voters?

A screenshot of a Washington Post editorial titled β€œElon Musk’s trillion-dollar payday:
There are plenty of reasons to root for his success, even if you don’t like him personally.” Below this headline appears a photo of people at a protest, one of them holding a sign reading β€œNo $1 Trillion For Musk.”

Just to get the full flavor, this also appeared on the same day as the β€œGeneralissimo Zohran” screed:

Letter to Pope Leo XIII - Henry George Foundation In May 1891 Pope Leo XIII issued Β an Encyclical Letter entitled Rerum Novarum in which he condemned what he saw as β€˜The Socialist Scheme: The Destruction

Wow. This sent me down a rabbit hole of Things I Did Not Know. Kinda puts Rerum novarum in a different light. I’d never read George’s response to it before: henrygeorgefoundation.org/economic-jus...

FBI Warns of Criminals Posing as ICE, Urges Agents to ID Themselves In a bulletin to law enforcement agencies, the FBI said criminal impersonators are exploiting ICE’s image and urged nationwide coordination to distinguish real operations from fakes.

β€œThree men in black vests entered a NY restaurant claiming to be ICE agents. Inside, they tied a worker’s hands and pulled a garbage bag over the person’s head. Another, believing the burglars’ story, surrendered themselves, only to be kicked to the ground and tied up as the intruders robbed an ATM”

This is still the thing that scares me most right now. Generally, I think the National Guard would actually be less violent and abusive than what we’re seeing from ICE and CBP. But Hegseth and his underlings would be hand-picking these teams.

Shocking! I was reliably informed that she had been canceled and drummed out of the journalism profession, all support for her had been withdrawn, and she was forever condemned to wander the earth, friendless and platform-less.

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

Trump nominated a pro Jim Crow man to be the U.S. ambassador to South Africa.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. So, I transcribed some of it.

Brent Bozell is a sad excuse for a man. He should be shunned by everyone. No one should ever serve him a meal or a drink, fix his car, or mow his lawn.

will there be any followup to this fascinating story by the president of the united states that a friend of his sent him a check for $130 million dollars and the president is going to give the money to the military because i for one am fascinated about the details tbh

We are not talking enough about the fact that Mr. Bean is encouraging the woman to grind his fellow beans into tiny bits and pour boiling water over them, all to produce a β€œwonderful treat” for her man. Grim stuff, will haunt my nightmares for weeks to come.

Democrats should be drawing up legislation right now, this very minute, to bar Trump from helping himself to $230 million in taxpayer funds from DOJ. Challenge Republicans to hold a vote on it. Push this so hard in the media that every GOP Senate and House candidate is pressed to comment on it.
