I see three white guys in Chocolate, City Washington DC 😂 FYI: U.S. Marshals operating in Washington, D.C. are required to identify themselves and display official credentials (such as an agency badge and photo ID) when executing law enforcement duties.
Hillary doesn't mince words: “The next president will have to make a serious decision. What do you do with a half-finished ballroom?” “It would be nice if I could take on the role of ‘Secretary of Gold Removal’ after Trump leaves the White House.” It IS our House, and he IS destroying it !
Republicans averse to truth and facts any time it doesn't suit their narrative. Keep on voting for these corrupt liars, Texas. SMDH

A real question: What is a specific thing Trump has done that is *not* consistent with his being a paid agent of Russia, China, or NorK? (I *don't* think he is paid agent. Just vain, greedy, resentful, and ignorant. But old category of 'useful idiot' may be of use here, from RUS/PRC/NKor POV.)
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoTrump allies himself w/Kim Jong Un against South Korea: “Based on my very good relationship w/Kim Jong Un, I am not happy that the US has agreed to Joint Military Exercises…I recently asked the President of SK if they would like to join us in the Denuclearization of Iran, & they said, ‘No thanks!’”
I was thinking the other day how those not in DC (I'm not) aren't hit as clearly with how Trump has turned the White House grounds into something between construction site and waste dump. Genuinely upsetting. Far from the worst thing he's done but among the most tangible and graphic.
George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸@gtconway.bsky.social · 2d ago
This is an appalling departure from the post-Watergate mission of the Department of Justice. DOJ, as we once knew it, is no more. Blanche has turned it into Trump‘s private law firm. What a complete disgrace. 
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoWELKER: Can you pledge the DOJ will always act independently of the WH? BLANCHE: No, I'm not going to pledge that WELKER: So if the president asked you do to something that you feel crosses an ethical or legal line, would you do it? BLANCHE: He would never do that. He never has. He never will.
ICE agents give contradictory orders on purpose. “You f*cking move I’ll f*cking tase you! Get out of the f*cking car!” It’s a no win situation. The person being violently accosted in this video is a disabled veteran. Imagine if the agents had been wearing shock gloves? Abolish & prosecute ICE

A shithole country is not a poor country that can't feed its children. A shithole country is a rich country that won't feed its children.
Why would Trump remove federal reporting requirements this week mandated in a law authored by Marco Rubio in 2020 to identify domestic and international sex traffickers, money launderers and terrorists, and will Rubio comment on it?
Breaking a child’s bone is not “a private family matter.” It is a crime and should be treated as such. People who say things like that are just covering up abhorrent behavior that may put the child in further danger.
