Stop by a construction sight and you’ll see that they’re actually building the houses.

HOLY CRAP!

Alex Jones and Marjorie Taylor Greene just warned America about Trump trying to stay in power after his term expires.

"That type of behavior is someone planning an idea over and over and over again. He constantly says it so that he can normalize the idea and test the support and test people's reactions, but saying it over and over and over again normalizes the idea. And I think it's incredibly dangerous and no one should ever accept it. Absolutely, absolutely not. There cannot be a third term. No, that's against our laws."

Wake up America. When even these two are warning us about Trump you know it's getting serious.

U.S. citizens are not required to carry proof of citizenship in the United States.

Ask: “Am I free to leave?”

Say: “I choose to remain silent.”

Say: “I do not consent to a search.”

An extraordinary rebuke of Todd Blanche and his Justice Dept.

Court dismisses indictment of Abrego Garcia (an exceedingly rare outcome in a criminal case).

Finding of vindictive prosecution and "an abuse of prosecuting power."

The opinion name checks Blanche nearly 30 times.

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

So Mike Johnson and many republicans are against banning Members of Congress from trading stocks because inflation makes their salary less valuable.

Here’s an idea: if $174k a year isn’t enough for you, then resign and let someone who is willing to work the job do it.

There are plenty of young people who would be willing to give up stock trading for that salary. And they would actually get stuff done.

And if $174k isn’t enough for people to take care of their family, then how the hell is minimum wage?

Absolutely wild statement from Tulsi Gabbard, the U.S. Director of National Intelligence 👇

“It is not the intelligence communities responsibility to determine what is and isn’t an imminent threat.”

How ridiculous is this? I mean… COME. ON.

[Kyle Cheney @kyledcheney]

BREAKING: ICE director Todd LYONS says the two officers involved in the Jan. 14 chase/shooting incident appear to have lied under oath and are being investigated by DOJ. This comes after DHS Secretary Kristi Noem defended them as firing in self-defense. https://t.co/ilkDWT6ZrU

[EU says Elon should not lie abt my blue check @emptywheel]

Poor @IngrahamAngle doesn't realize that 1) ICE keeps kidnapping people in broad daylight and 2) that makes everyone less safe 3) they don't police robbery anyway.

Just the stupidest comment.

[John Fugelsang @JohnFugelsang]

Look at this dirty old whore, wearing too much makeup, willing to do anything for a dollar.

Donald Trump wants your child's air & water to be as polluted as his own soul.
And colon.

I don’t think people realize how much AI is changing the battle space.

Think about it like this:

Palantir already integrates a lot of data into their military models. Satellite, SIGINT, etc.

Adding a LLM to the suite gives options like “analyze all ISR data from ___ in the last 24hrs”

This is giving analysts the ability to process MASSIVE amounts of information in a short period of time. It makes targeting faster, helps plan ingress and egress routes, etc.

It’s a lot.

@Angry_Staffer This quote from Senator Susan Collins tonight to reporters: “"Can we have a crisis-free day? That’s all I'm asking."

[John Fugelsang @JohnFugelsang]

Imagine going to court to cover up the evidence that you'd tried to overturn democracy...

while also covering up the murder of a US citizen in MN...

...while also breaking the law, every day for the last month, to cover up child rape.

Fake Christians, behold your Caligula.
Next time, read the Jesus parts.

He's an old, dying man who is clearly losing it and willing to blow up the world and weaken America before he goes to hell.

[Justin Wolfers @JustinWolfers]

Some perspective: The S&P opened down -1.3% on Trump's Greenland saber-rattling. That's $750 billion of wealth destroyed -- roughly equal to estimates of the value of Greenland.

And so ~in dollar terms~ his shenanigans have already cost the US one Greenland, and we've got nothing to show for it.

[The Midas Project @TheMidasProj]

Something strange happened on conservative Twitter on Thursday.

A dozen right-wing influencers suddenly became passionate about semiconductor export policy, posting nearly identical (and often false) attacks over a 27-hour period on a bill most people have never heard of.

So @TriciaOhio @DHSgov wants you to think their agents confused the citizen in the picture on the left with the alleged criminals on the right & that's why they perp walked him in his undies at gun point out into the frigid winter.

Election denier Tina Peters, imprisoned in Colorado on state charges much to Trumpworld’s chagrin, appears to put her hands around another inmate’s throat around the 0:25 mark.
