I come to Twitter infrequently because of what’s-his-face who destroyed it. Check in with me at ericbyler.substack.com

BREAKING: ICE just shot and killed another unarmed person in Minneapolis. “It was an execution,” witness says.

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-60…

A startup backed by Donald Trump Jr.'s venture capital firm just got a $620M loan from the DoD, months after the Pentagon gave a major drone contract to ANOTHER Trump Jr.-backed company. This is what kleptocracy looks like. popular.info/p/update-trump…

Pete Hegseth says he’s going to court-martial me for saying the same exact thing he said 9 years ago. What changed for Pete? Well to start, he spends all day thinking about how he can suck up to Trump. When Trump says jump, he says how high.

BREAKING: EVERYONE NEEDS TO HEAR THIS. Senator Mark Kelly just completely torched Donald Trump: "When Donald Trump was driving the Taj Mahal casino into bankruptcy, I was getting shot at over Iraq and Kuwait. In 2001, after Donald Trump said that the collapse of the Twin Towers now meant he now owned the tallest skyscraper in Manhattan, I was carrying flags honoring 911 victims into space on a rocket ship. In 2003, when Donald Trump was writing birthday greetings to the monster, Jeffrey Epstein, I was the first on the scene to recover the bodies of my fellow astronauts who died when Space Shuttle Columbia exploded during re-entry. In 2011, when Trump was hosting a reality show, and peddling conspiracy theories against President Barack Obama, I was sitting next to my wife’s hospital bed as she recovered from a gunshot wound to the head."

I've come to accept the fact that ignorant bigots chant "USA!" and wear the Stars and Stripes. But take off the #LADodgers shirt, asshole.

Ryan Grim told Piers Morgan that a U.S. push to topple President Maduro “would not be the cakewalk,” its boosters suggest. He said Trump has been open that the real aim is Venezuela’s resources—“oil, in particular”—and argued Washington can’t selectively invoke human rights while ignoring ICC standards elsewhere.

Ryan Grim told Piers Morgan that “Cartel de los Soles’” is “the most obvious CIA-made-up name ever.” If the U.S. wants to find its creators, he said, “pull up GPS and drive to Langley.” Grim explains that Marco Rubio, shut out of Ukraine and Gaza, now sees Venezuela as his “Caribbean sandbox,” pushing long-held Cuban-right fantasies of regime change. Trump knows a Libya-style collapse is the likely outcome, and so far deserves credit for resisting the war hawks. @ryangrim | @piersmorgan

Mr. President @realdonaldtrump I understand why you are confused...all your time in DC you haven't eaten ONCE outside the White House or your own hotel. I've lived here for 33 years, and it's a flat out lie that half the restaurants have closed because of safety...but restaurants will close because you have troops with guns and federal agents harassing people...making people afraid to go out. Cities and towns and rural areas of America need policies that allow small business to thrive and all people including immigrants to live and work with dignity. People shouldn't be afraid of their government...government should have respect for its people, not terrorize them.

It’s always so easy to laugh at this, but it’s not funny. For 3hrs today, grown men & women all took turns getting down on their knees, fellating their dear leader. In front of the cameras. It’s sad. It’s gross. It’s North Korea. It shouldn’t happen here.

Donald Trump’s Ukraine policy today is no more coherent than it was last Friday when his administration executed search warrants against my home and office. Collapsing in confusion and haste, Trump’s negotiations may be in their last throes, along with his Nobel Peace Prize campaign. washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/beltwa…

He LOST. YOU win. (You knew he wanted YOU to pay his lawyers and his legal bills, right?)

ICE detained a veteran and U.S. citizen for three days. They didn’t let him contact his family or a lawyer. They didn’t let him change or shower. They didn’t give him a reason for his detention. Under this regime, no one is safe. apnews.com/article/us-arm…

“In this country, we have no ‘other people.’ We are American people, all of is.” This 1940s film warning against bigotry and fascism is more relevant now than ever.

THIS IS SO FUC*ING OUT OF CONTROL ‼️ They’re carrying assault rifles and not identifying themselves‼️

State sponsored propaganda in the U.S. vs. state sponsored propaganda in North Korea. Who wore it better?

Please retweet.

The New York Times now reports millions of Americans are attending No Kings anti-Trump protests across the country. Events in all 50 states. Officials in Los Angeles are calling the crowds “unprecedented.” This is likely one of the largest mass protests in U.S. history.
