RAJU: You'll concede this is war?

MARKWAYNE MULLIN: We haven't declared war. They declared war on us

RAJU: The president called it war and Secretary Hegseth called it war

REPORTER: When you walked up just now, you called it war

MULLIN: Okay. That was a misspoke.

congress needs to stop this madman

Pres Trump told me tonight the US had identified possible candidates to take over Iran, but they were killed in the initial attack. "The attack was so successful it knocked out most of the candidates," Trump told me. "It's not going to be anybody that we were thinking of because they are all dead. Second or third place is dead."

complete insanity

Susie Wiles is wearing an Apple Watch during a highly classified meeting on Iran.

Unreal.

The FBI being on high alert for terrorist actions is important right now.

Too bad they fired and gutted their counterterrorism capacity

Tell Congress: No War with Iran Trump has launched unauthorized military strikes on Iran, dragging the United States into yet another war without approval from Congress. This reckless escalation is putting U.S. servicemembers, Ameri...

Trump’s bombing of Iran is reckless and a direct threat to American and Iranian lives. Launching military strikes without congressional authorization or evidence of an imminent threat is not strength. It is an abuse of power.

Tell your Members of Congress to put an immediate stop to this war.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here.

Getting the impression that ICE is gearing up for a pogrom in Springfield, Ohio, which was ground zero of Vance’s lies about Haitians during the campaign. Haitians lose temporary protected status on February 3rd. Reporters, lawyers, neighbors — please get ready.

The 25th Amendment must be invoked by the cabinet. I’m all for pressuring them. Congressional Dems should lead the charge. Not on Bluesky or Threads. Let’s do it.

NEWS:

Survivor Lisa Phillips backs request by Reps. Khanna and Massie for judge to appoint a special master to release the Epstein files.

"I have no confidence that the Department of Justice, already 30 days late in complying with the Act with no end in sight."

Inside Trump’s Plans To Protect Killer ICE Agents ‘No Matter What’ Minnesota officials want to investigate ICE’s killing of a mother in Minneapolis. Team Trump has been planning for a moment like this.

Since last year, Trump admin planned what to do if ICE agents were accused of crimes (even murder):
Protect them “no matter what."

Trump laid out ways to retaliate:
—Refuse to hand over an agent
—Charge local officials with “obstructing"
—Threaten to cut off more funding

Rep. Seth Moulton comes on CNN and starts by saying: "Is anyone going to just stop for a second and be honest? This is insane. What the hell are we doing? We've got a lot of problems in America today, and invading / occupying / running Venezuela does not solve any of them."

New, at Law Dork:

ICE deported a U.S. citizen who was born in Maryland and whose lawyer provided a birth certificate for as well as hospital records of her birth, against a judge’s orders forbidding her deportation.

But happy Christmas Eve.

Trump: I am fine. You sound beautiful and cute. How old are you?

Caller: I am eight

I hope that all of you have a joyous holiday season surrounded by your family and loved ones*.

*Except for ICE. I hope no one talks to you or gives you a present and that you accidentally shit your pants while everyone tells you to go fuck yourself at the grocery store.

Same to you, David and everybody here. xx 🎄🎁

Since I’m getting “what did I miss” from alot, Paramount Plus, owner of CBS spiked the El Salvador CECOT prison story yesterday on 60 minutes because it made the White House look bad. Cancel paramount plus

Censorship. Bari Weiss

Schiff: "I think we ought to bring Pam Bondi before the Senate Judiciary Committee demand answers as to why the DOJ has violated the law."

How to buy yourself a needy malignant narcissist? Just offer him a phony, made up "Peace Prize" & he's all your's!!!
No need for a formal ceremony as he'll snatch from the box & put it on all by himself. Both laughably pathetic AND pathetically laughable. 🤡 🫣

Watching @alivitali.bsky.social and I’m begging folks to stop yielding to the idea that there are potential war crimes when there is no war— Congress hasn’t authorized military action. The DoD is simply ordering the execution of civilians in peace time. Crime against humanity is more apt.
