Ask yourself why all the most egregious details of the ICE debacle in Georgia are coming from foreign media outlets? It’s beyond clear that the media is under covering certain stories to avoid the ire of the Trump administration. This has been clear for some time.
scary lawyerguy@scarylawyerguy
You have to rely on foreign journalists to report on the conditions Korean migrants (who were here legally working on a project our government was partially funding!) were subjected to before leaving the U.S. b/c our media does nothing but polish Trump's knob.

You really see right now how liberalism is over. Schumer about to pass the Trump budget. Klein painting a Nazi as a great man. Abundance bros teaming up with fascists. They gave up. They want in with the Trump coalition. Dems a totally irrelevant party. Walking dead.

Look at these youngsters very well: 10 teammates from Al-Mohtarifin Football Academy in Gaza City under 18— all murdered by Israel.
Their academy also destroyed. Mohammed killed today is indeed the tenth player from the academy to be slain by Israel.

Breaking🚨: Israel has murdered Mohammed Al-Thalatini, Al-Mohtarefeen Academy youngster, in an attack on his neighbourhood in Gaza City. The 17-year-old is the 9th player from the academy to be killed. Israel has also reduced the academy building to rubble.

Think you can spot COVID misinformation? 🤔
I just launched an adaptive exam that tests your ability to separate COVID facts from fiction. It adjusts difficulty in real-time based on your answers.
Warning: The results might surprise you. I've seen PhDs score "WhatsApp University Graduate" 😅
Take the test: seanmullen.com/covidcompetenc…
Share your badge - I'm curious who scores "Epidemiologist's Nightmare" (perfect score)

Iceland is the world’s biggest consumer of SSRIs. They’ve had less than 10 gun homicides since 2020; in the US, there have been over 90,000.
Japan is one of the largest video game markets in the world. They have 10 gun deaths per year; the US has nearly 50,000.
It’s the guns.

RFK JR on Mass Shootings: There are many things that happened in the 1990’s that could explain these. One is the dependence on psychiatric drugs… there could be connections with video games
English
@DonEford More damage than RFK? He’s the impetus for all of this. And 16 states is a lot plus we still don’t know when we’ll have Novavax. We all appreciate your work but you could just admit that you underestimated this, it would be more credible

Of the original twenty-one states that were seeing limitations for COVID vaccines, five have already enacted the pathway I detailed, and now we are down to 16 states that are limiting access.
I expect it to be down to just Florida in a week.
This is a manufactured crisis brought to you by the neoliberal influencer class.
The same people who tried to limit COVID vaccines two years ago.
RFK Jr. is a complete POS, but these influencers are doing way more damage on this specific issue.
These people need to shut up already and just go away.

This Party's leadership is not actually this dumb. It knows its own voters oppose Israel's genocide.
They are willfully out of step with their own voters because they'd rather be bought & paid for by AIPAC than stand up to them.
It's not stupidity, it's corruption.
Prem Thakker@prem_thakker
Kirsten Gillibrand (who's in charge of electing more Senate Democrats) insists "9 out of 10 Democrats are pro-Israel." 8% of Democrats support Israel's war on Gaza. 75% oppose sending more military aid to Israel. 63% think the US supports Israel too much.

One of the incidents that gave rise to this case involved a person who was roughed up by the ICE agents before he was able to show his REAL ID, which, once he gave to the agents, they then confiscated and didn't give back to him.
Jon Favreau@jonfavs
Kavanaugh actually wrote this line: "If the officers learn that the individual they stopped is a U. S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, they promptly let the individual go."

Democrats seem to have made their decision: they want a (probably short-term) extension of ACA subsidies in exchange for passing a budget bill. In other words, something Republicans need in exchange for something Republicans want. From me:

It would be interesting to see what Trump's presidency would be like if the USA had an opposition party.
Ken Klippenstein@kenklippenstein
Even outside of X, the two top Democrats haven't said *anything* about our military buildup off the coast of Venezuela as far as I can tell x.com/kenklippenstei…
English
Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer haven't posted anything about Venezuela

This was very clear once the deportations started, yet Schumer and Jeffries have discouraged congressional Dems making a stink about the issue.
austerity is theft@wideofthepost
The intensity of disapproval on deportation is notable — more “strong disapproval” than on any other issue in this poll. He’s at -14 overall.

"Where do centrists find our Mamdani?"
You had your Mamdani. His name was Barack Obama. He had once-in-a-generation charisma. And because centrism is a bankrupt, useless ideology, he was a terrible president. You had your chance, sorry!

If Cuomo had won the primary, by one vote or a hundred thousand, Jeffries and Schumer would’ve endorsed him immediately and the media would be hailing him the new face of the party and screaming how the party needs to move even further right.
Don’t even try to pretend otherwise.

Former Philippine President Duterte is in custody in The Hague, having been charged by the International Criminal Court for ordering the summary execution of alleged drug traffickers. Trump just ordered the summary execution of 11 alleged drug traffickers. reuters.com/world/americas…

Why didn’t we just track and interdict the vessel in US waters, arrest the crew and seize the drugs, as the US Coast Guard routinely does?
Marco Rubio@marcorubio
As @potus just announced moments ago, today the U.S. military conducted a lethal strike in the southern Carribean against a drug vessel which had departed from Venezuela and was being operated by a designated narco-terrorist organization.

Today’s news confirms it: Cuomo is Trump’s choice for Mayor. The White House is considering jobs for Adams and Sliwa to clear the field.
New Yorkers are sick of corrupt politics and backroom deals. No matter who’s running, we will deliver a better future on November 4.
The New York Times@nytimes
Breaking News: President Trump's advisers are said to have discussed giving Mayor Eric Adams a position in the administration as a way to clear the field in November’s mayoral election and damage the chances of the Democratic front-runner, Zohran Mamdani. nyti.ms/47sVF1S

Drug trafficking is a crime, not an act of war. Traffickers must be arrested, not summarily executed, which U.S. forces just illegally did.

WATCH: The U.S. military destroyed a Venezuelan drug boat in international waters with 11 Tren de Aragua narcoterrorists aboard, the Trump admin says.

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough says Illinois Gov. Pritzker should "partner up" with Trump on deploying National Guard to Chicago.
