they're not in the Epstein files?

Consider that Cook possibly stepped down at the request of his company cause the court said they had to put the ICE tracker back and they knew trump would get revenge for that.

I didn't think any of them were competent. Then they would have outshone Trump and he literally said he picks them to be so dumb they can't outshine him. but what do I know.

🚨 Talks with Iran have collapsed before they even began.

Iran refuses to negotiate under a U.S. naval blockade and threats, and Trump says he expects bombing to resume once the ceasefire ends.

Iran is warning it will retaliate if attacked—and planned talks in Pakistan appear dead.

Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.

"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.

I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).

So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

ICE detained the wife of an active-duty U.S. Army Sgt. First Class after she showed up for an immigration appointment in 📍 El Paso—then still threatened removal despite legal protections.

Her husband (27 years active duty) said it plainly: ICE is out of control.

when did Netanyahu make the stupid mistake of announcing that he, a Putinist, would go to Hungary, a nation which seemingly has just thrown off the Putinist yoke?

Federal Judge Vacates Kennedy Declaration, Permanently Blocks Trump's Trans Youth Care Hospital Threats The judgment overturns the Kennedy Declaration which has been used to force 40 hospitals to drop trans youth care.

Keep an eye out on the bellwether of Loudoun tomorrow

Tends to report first among the big counties

If Yes is winning it around 60%-40%, on track for passing

If it is closer around Yes 55%-45%, then No could pull it out

50%-50% result would indicate No victory

With the leak to the NYT of their internal notes to each other, I hope the conservative justices on SCOTUS are currently *very* paranoid about talking to each other. Because at least one of them is (or has staff who is) indiscreet and disloyal.

Keep looking over your shoulders, fascists!

I'm excited to share that we've made a collection of historic Supreme Court Records and Briefs available via

I've written a blog post where I go into detail about the importance of this collection.

We Forget About ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ at Our Peril The abuses are piling up, and Democrats and activists are desperate to get the word out.

"Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz told me she saw 1,500 detainees housed in cages at the site, a cage area that smelled like urine, and one cage configuration where detainees appear to have no option but to go to the bathroom in front of everyone."

HEARTBREAKING: A mother revealed her 21-year-old son, Sergeant Uriah Aymelek Goshen, was killed trying to rescue the Bibas family.

Two families destroyed in one tragedy.

May their memory be a blessing 🕯️

Infowars/Onion combo logo in rainbow saying “I support the onion’s hostile media takeover.”

It’s finally happened. After 18 months. Finally, a media merger you can root for.

Wife of active-duty U.S. Army sergeant detained by ICE in Texas at immigration appointment The wife of a 27-year Army sergeant was detained by ICE at an immigration appointment in Texas. He says he doesn't understand why, and "ICE is out of control right now."

Deisy Rivera Ortega was unjustly detained by ICE during a routine immigration appointment despite living in the US for ten years, married to an active US Army Sergeant and having a judicial order barring deporting her to El Salvador. ICE sadists want to deport her to a country she has no ties to.

House Republicans just publicly backed Hegseth's perceived rival and publicly lamented the general he fired.
From his own party. During a war.
That's not a policy disagreement.
That's a vote of no confidence taken on the record.

so basically a paraphrase of Nixon, "I am not a drunk".

Here’s a list of the allegations that Patel claims are false and defamatory:

Kash Patel's lawsuit against The Atlantic has been filed.

All else aside, it confirms this: Kash Patel was locked out of the FBI system on Friday, April 10.

The lockout set off a flurry of inquires to the FBI/DOJ/WH about whether Patel had been fired.

Big abortion win in PA today - the ban on Medicaid funding is unconstitutional!
