Most prescient, clear/eyed work of writing I’ve read on reorg.
Read it.
Then act.
“Call your senators. Call your representative. Not next week or later. Now.
Tell them this is not a reorganization — it’s the destruction of a federal agency by executive fiat and that Congress must intervene.”
Unbelievable. Thanks to Brian’s diligence we are getting Hegseth’s violent sermonizing in real time.
Someone is dying in ICE custody EVERY WEEK.
And that doesn't even include the American citizens ICE has killed in the middle of our streets in broad daylight.
It could not be more clear, ICE needs guardrails, not a blank check from Congress.

As part of my efforts to combat the COVID Amnesia Project, let's accurately remember what 3 influential laptop class doctors from Stanford said 6 years ago as COVID overflowed hospitals and morgues.
They won't remind you.
I will.
My latest.
As a former US Capitol Police officer, I’m disgusted by this. As a current local detective, I’m disgusted by this. As a future criminal attorney, I’m disgusted by this.
As an American, I’m terrified by this.
"The Pope is incorrect on matters of theology" is excommunication time.

VICTOR GLOVER FOR POTUS
(Also, if I went to the moon I would wear the astronaut uniform everyday, too 😂)
He just cannot shut up about this. He thinks he's gonna win his catholicism forum war with the fuckin pope
Viktor Orban accomplished so much of what the Trump movement wants to accomplish here
he ruled for 16 years and rewrote the rules in his favor
and still, they threw him out
and you know what? they did it by voting
don’t let anyone tell you voting doesn’t matter
In the post-Bill Clinton era, if a Democratic politician is accused of predatory behavior, especially of a sexual nature, their career is over. Their party colleagues push them out.
When a Republican politician gets into a similar position, they usually can ride it out. Because they don’t care.
More murder brought to you by the U.S. government.
There’s a lot that needs to happen once Trump’s gone but one thing that needs to happen is prosecution of those who ordered and carried out murder on the high seas of alleged drug smugglers.
Congratulations to the 58% of Catholic voters who chose Trump in 2024. Your convicted felon is attacking your pope.
“Pope Leo is WEAK on Crime—he doesn’t execute enough poor people for taking a loaf of bread from billionaires.”
If the people of Hungary can get rid of Orban, who has been in office for 16 years and took control of the media, the electoral system and the business leadership of that former Soviet Bloc country, we Americans sure as hell can vote out the cowards who enable Trump.
How is this man not laughed out of every room he enters? The only sound he should ever hear anywhere should be jeers.
Incredible that human beings figured out how to do this. How cool. What if we only did cool stuff
cool stuff > evil stuff
Tucker Carlson made it his life's work to loose this monster on the world so I don't care to hear his little face saving pieties right now, I don't believe a word of it
Chris Murphy: "He's not telling the truth. But if you accept even part of the Iranian statement, Donald Trump has agreed to give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz. That is extraordinary and cataclysmic for the world."
So a ceasefire (good) but also seems that Iran gets to cheap charging tolls on the Strait of Hormuz. So the dust settles and Iran can generate massive amounts of new income. Hmmm
Calling for a cease-fire in the evening does not somehow erase calling for the genocide of an entire civilization the same day. This is erratic and reckless leadership. In fact it isn't leadership at all. It has never been leadership. It has always been authoritarianism, white supremacy, and greed. And to think this even remotely represents Christianity is just beyond comprehension. It still must be opposed. It still must end. Our country deserves better. Our men and women in uniform deserve better. Our kids deserve better. Our world deserves better.
You can tell it's Victory for USA because now everyone has to coordinate with the Iranian military to have the ability to transit the Strait of Hormuz
the problem with wars of choice for a king's glory is that once you start them, you lose a lot of leverage about how they end
The Trump regime is investigating Cassidy Hutchinson for telling the truth about Trump. Because facts and courage are kryptonite to fascists and therefore must be destroyed. (NYT gift link)
there wasn't a lot left to ruin but my brain is currently fully broken that people with power let a man hold the entire world hostage for like 9 hours with an existential threat. insane country. broken.
Alright let's see. In 2019 Trump was angrily posting about the 1.8 billion in cash the Obama administration gave Iran in 2016.
1.8 billion divided by 2 million is 900. Prior to the start of this war, about 135 ships went through the Strait of Hormuz every day.
