Rand Paul: “I just wonder if someone who applauds violence against their political opponents is the right person to lead an agency that has struggled to accept limits to the proper use of force.” The entire confirmation hearing in one sentence.

Just curious, is there ANYTHING that an ICE agent can do that Republicans will condemn as wrong? Anything at all? Or it just automatically defend ICE no matter what now? That’s who you are?

I'm at a loss for words. I'm glad someone else has them.

Don't bother arguing about whether ICE is a police force or a military force. It's neither. It behaves as a disorganized, violent mob, cursing, shouting contradictory orders, and attacking unarmed citizens on a whim. It is deployed to create fear and chaos, not to enforce laws or establish order.

11. Dennis Goris

We are a country whose Constitution, according to the Supreme Court, gives our own presidents immunity for crimes committed while in office, but we will prosecute presidents of other countries for alleged crimes and invade them to execute arrest warrants.

He let loose almost 200 unhinged posts on Christmas Day. You’d think someone would have wrestled his phone away after 20, 40 or even a hundred posts. They know he’s too far gone. They also know he won’t escape the Epstein fallout. They’re letting him make his case for the 25th amendment.

Can someone please respond to Stephen Miller with this message from Frank Sinatra?

Imagine watching Sinatra, son of Dolly & Antonini born in Genoa & Sicily, respectively, and Martin, son of Gaetano & Angela, born in Montesilvano, Italy & Ohio respectively, (Angela to parents born in Monasterolo, Italy), and crusading against the value of children of immigrants to the U.S.

The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice. The result is demagoguery and corruption.

Despite what Republicans say, Trump has never had a healthcare plan. I brought the receipts 💅

The overwhelming majority of jobs at the two biggest companies in America pay less than $20/hr. Meanwhile, the heads of those companies are some of the richest people on the planet. See the problem?

This has all happened before and it will happen again.

Been there, done that.

REPORTER: What kind of concessions is Hitler and the Germans going to have to make? CHAMBERLAIN: The big concession is they stop fighting and they don't take any more land.

Learn to decipher the codespeak.

This about covers it.

If the Supreme Court thinks universal injunctions are unconstitutional, to wait until *now* to say that, in this of all cases, with this of all presidents, is a devastating indictment of both its impartiality and its prudence.

The American people were lied to about Vietnam, with tragic consequences. The American people were lied to about Iraq, with tragic consequences. The American people are being lied to again today. We cannot allow history to repeat itself.

Take note.

The Russians, who have been murdering Ukrainian civilians and bombing cities for three years, are suddenly very worried about "gross violation of international law" and "global and regional security" www.themoscowtimes.com/2025/06/22/r...
