Jaw-dropping DOJ admissions to court DOJ admits repeatedly made "material mistaken" representations to judge. ICE never had authority (under 2025 Guidance) to conduct arrests at immigration courthouses! DOJ admits court "relied on...prior misrepresentations" DOJ blames ICE

Reminds me of the Soviet classic - only bad guys should be afraid of the KGB! After all, you should have no issue with an unaccountable militarized security force pushing into every aspect of your life unless you've got something to be afraid of, right comrade?

Imagine being dim enough to buy this bullshit.

Trump demands unconstitutional, warrantless surveillance of all Americans. He wants one standard for himself (no spying) and another for everyone else (spy like crazy). The so-called “reforms” made to FISA 702 in the past are a joke. That’s why he wants a “clean” extension.

Two weeks ago, I mentioned the problems with CPAC. The head of CPAC, Matt Schlapp, has been accused multiple times of inappropriate sexual behavior towards other men. Undeterred from running the Conservative Political Action Conference, Schlapp has invited Steve Bannon on stage. Bannon was one of Jeffrey Epstein’s friends and attempted to rehabilitate Epstein’s image. Now CPAC is announcing Todd Chrisley will be at CPAC. If you don’t know who that guy is, he got sentenced to twelve years in prison for tax evasion and then got pardoned by Donald Trump. Before all that, he was a reality TV star. The “C” in CPAC is now best represented by the world “clown” than as any semblance of a conservative institution. ewerickson.substack.com/p/reaping-the-…

Here’s the thing. We are going to HATE the next democratic president. Because they’re going to have to spend 4 years fixing our incredibly broken govt while figuring out how to restore our economy while mending nearly all our international relationships. All while addressing a country that’s basically insolvent. We got pilfered by the current administration so there’s entire systems that got wiped out while contractors and corporations got bloated off our tax dollars via special favors for and from Trump. This is going to mean higher taxes across the board and massive sacrifices just to get us back to neutral. Trump stole and gave away billions while wrecking every institution he could get his hands on. It’s going to hurt to fix them all and regain what we lost. This will all be while a restored justice dept prosecutes dozens of people in the Trump administration for massive corruption. It’s going to get very messy. I honestly don’t know how they’ll be able to do it and be able to win a second term. The majority of the country won’t understand why it’s necessary for their/our future.

A fascinating answer from Gen Stan McChrystal to the NY Times on what he thinks about War Secretary Pete Hegseth's bravado culture. Worth remembering he commanded a green beret platoon, an airborne battalion and a Ranger regiment, before running Joint Special Operations Command.

@KobeissiLetter Telling a country to “accept they’ve been defeated” while arranging peace talks in Pakistan this weekend is not a position — it’s a bluff that needs the weekend to land.

A good explanation here for why Trump thinks the war is going great and all the negative press coverage is wrong: he’s consuming it via highlight reel

650 light-years away, the red supergiant Betelgeuse is living on borrowed time.One of the brightest stars in our night sky, this colossal star is a supernova in waiting. When it finally detonates, the explosion will be so ferocious that, even from this immense distance, it could briefly outshine the full Moon and turn night into day for weeks. For a short, dazzling time, Betelgeuse may even rival the brightness of the entire Milky Way, painting our skies with a light show unlike anything humanity has ever witnessed. The countdown to its dramatic death has already begun.

The most amazing story isn’t just that Democrats flipped a Trump +12 seat from red to blue — it’s that Trump literally voted by mail in this election while arguing mail in voting should be illegal for everyone else.

New: Pete Hegseth’s pastor and close spiritual advisor says he wants Texas Democratic state Rep. James Talarico to die. “We want him crucified with Christ,” Brooks Potteiger said of Talarico, as the podcast host said he prays “that God kills him.” huffpost.com/entry/pete-heg…
