  • ‘It smelled of onions and mustard,’ Border Patrol officer hit by sandwich in DC testifies

  • Actually, it's even stupider than that I'm pretty sure, two grand juries refused to give them an indictment for a felony charge, so they brought a way less severe misdemeanor charge because you don't have to get a grand jury to sign off on those, and that's what we're wasting this time on

  • NYC mayoral candidate Andrew Cuomo calls opponent Mamdani divisive: You can be a New Yorker and not understand New Yorkers

    Jump

  • You don't understand, he's being hopeful and positive while being Muslim, and the last "national moment of unity" this fucking scumbag is willing to recognize as such is when "all" of "us" came together after 9/11 to be super shitty to anyone who looked like they were from the middle east. Taking away their easy scapegoat really does feel divisive to these psychotic ghouls.

    Not saying they won't try all of this, but I don't think they'll be able to pull it off for very long if at all

  • I mean, if hell was real I could totally imagine one of our billionaires trying to open up a portal to it for cheap labor like it was Doom or something

  • DOD accepts anonymous $130M donation to partially cover troop pay

    Jump

  • I think that's what this administration want us to think, but in reality

    White House officials said that covering the cost of military pay for the first half of October totaled about $6.5 billion. Todd Harrison, a defense budget analyst at the American Enterprise Institute

    FFS, could the news media go more than two sentences without treating a right wing hack organization like a serious viewpoint, fuck

    Ugh, whatever, sorry for interrupting, do some middle school level math for us Todd

    Todd Harrison, a defense budget analyst at the American Enterprise Institute, said that based on that figure, the new donation will cover about one-third of one day’s pay for the force.

    So, yeah, this is a dumb stunt designed to get us to think they just privatized the military, but it's actually empty bullshit

  • FBI backtracks on denying children were zip tied in Idaho raid, saying instead no ‘young’ kids were

    Jump

  • Surprised they haven't called these children super predators yet. Long long history of law enforcement be extremely reluctant to treat children like children when they're brown children.

  • New York unveils portal for public to share ICE footage after four US citizens arrested

  • I mean, yes that is the way things currently are, but it's not the way they should be

  • Trump administration expected to appeal the decision.

  • Historically speaking, when fascist leaders relocate to bunkers good things happen

  • New York unveils portal for public to share ICE footage after four US citizens arrested

    Jump

  • Small step in the right direction, but

    a) There are pretty obviously widespread and violent violations of the law happening, you don't need to assess them, you need to be immediately arresting and imprisoning these ICE scumbags, then organizing the widely available evidence and bringing charges against them. Treat them like the urgent and deadly threats they are and get them off our streets now.

    b) Water under the bridge at this point, but why tf did a bunch of citizens have to put themselves in danger to gather evidence of New York laws being broken? Pretty sure that's the cops job.

  • ICE agents can be arrested over unlawful actions, Chicago federal judge rules

    Jump

  • Arrest them on sight because they're imminently dangerous, organize the widely available evidence and bring charges after they've been secured in a cell

  • Trump's Gaza ceasefire exposes the Democrats' moral and political failure

    Jump

  • Nah, with how they talk about "drinking lib tears" and stuff all the time Republicans definitely know what they're saying and doing is wrong. The people who are so deluded they don't know what they're doing is wrong are the moderates, you could talk those assholes into supporting a genocide and they'd still think they were good people who could lecture others on right and wrong and be taken seriously.

    Jump

  • She wants the Epstein files released because she thinks the secret codes to the Jewish space lasers are in there somewhere. I also think antisemitism explains her willingness to call out Israel for genocide (which, like, to be clear, shouldn't be an antisemitic stance at all, but MGT is a dumb hateful bitch who thinks every single Jewish person is in on some massive conspiracy to rule the whole world so of course she stupidly folds the real crimes of Israel and Epstein into that bullshit).

  • After failing the sobriety tests, Deiseroth was placed in handcuffs and informed that he was being placed under arrest. He then pleaded with the officers to not take him to prison and asked what they were going to do with his two children.

    ... I really don't think I could properly express my sentiments about both the level of parental care and hypocrisy on display here in a way that wouldn't get me at least a stern talking-to by some fed dipshit,

    So I'll just leave this article about teenagers and young adults who have been forced to become caretakers for their younger siblings after their parents were kidnapped by ICE (arc) instead

  • Senate Democrats, holding out for health care, reject government funding bill for 10th time

    Jump

  • I don't think that's right, I'm pretty sure any kind of budget resolution (continuing or no) has to have 60 votes under current Senate rules. Once they've got that bottom line resolution passed then they're able to use reconciliation on individual components of the budget to move monies around (so long as they end up at the same bottom line) and pass those with only 50 votes, but establishing that bottom line still requires 60.

    Best source I could find at the moment for this is a publication I haven't heard of before tbh, but it's being rehosted by MSN so it's most likely somewhat legit, and this all sounds like stuff I've read before,

    First, the House and Senate must agree to a budget resolution, which sets overall spending and revenue targets. Then, bills advanced in the name of “reconciling” tax and spending practices with that budget resolution need only a simple majority vote to win approval in the Senate. There are limits on what qualifies for reconciliation and on how many bills can be deemed as reconciliation each year.
