ICE at the polls! Bannon is basically yelling “fire” in a crowded theater here. His objective is to cause chaos (and suppress votes on the left). And it’s already working. This threat works on multiple levels and doesn’t have to be “real” to serve its purpose. Let me explain & offer some advice.

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

Next there will be detainees that "accidentally" fell out of a window. apnews.com/article/immi...

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here. (clip via MPR and @davidjbier.bsky.social on X)

Up to $125 million to rename the Department of Defense. But they can't find the money to lower premiums for Americans crushed by health care costs. www.cbo.gov/publication/...

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Donald Trump has another, hidden agenda for his tariffs: helping Big Tech companies. Trump's using tariffs to threaten other countries and force them to change laws that regulate Big Tech. So yes – you could be paying more from tariffs so that Trump can help Amazon and Meta.

this would be a strong demand for the funding fight as well bsky.app/profile/stev...

For those tired of hearing "thoughts and prayers" from progressive leaders about our dying democracy, this article written by @carmitage.bsky.social has a clear tactic that Democratic led states can use if there is federal interference in state elections #TriggerLaws: medium.com/@carmitage/i...

I don't much like the title, but the is article very much worth reading. On organization and cooperation going on in and between blue states, to make federal intervention of many kinds unnecessary. medium.com/@carmitage/i...

Abolish ICE.

CBS didn't run the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT, but over here at @propublica.org we've been working on the story since March, including finding out who each and every man sent to that maximum security prison was. You can see our reporting here: www.propublica.org/series/depor...

Looks like there may be trouble in paradise for the Heritage Foundation's favorite "democracy", Hungary. apnews.com/article/hung...

Officially hitting the “you cannot leave” stage of Trump’s Nazi regime.

This is not me. It’s a deepfake.

Congressional Democrats need to show up at every single one of these and refuse to obey the unlawful policies of DHS. “Oh you have a rule? That’s adorable. We have the law.”

BREAKING: Senate Republicans are taking votes right now to jam through their awful bill. They don’t want you to know all the bad votes they’re taking. I’m making sure you know EXACTLY where they stand and what they’re doing.🧵

🚨🚨🚨🚨 THIS NEEDS TO BE SHARED FAR AND WIDE. PLEASE REPOST 🙏 www.wired.com/story/ice-de...

Disabled activist Carol Olinger is still in custody after peacefully protesting GOP Medicaid cuts. She needs insulin NOW & has kidney dialysis at 6am. This is medical neglect—cruel and deliberate. Her life is at risk. We demand her release & care. Please share widely!

Elderly and disabled people told Congress that cutting Medicaid could kill people and in response, they were arrested in their wheelchairs. What the hell are we doing?

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

If you need a mask to enforce the law, you don’t deserve a badge. Federal agents are snatching people off the streets—faces covered, names hidden. This isn’t safety. It’s secrecy. It’s not America. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/why-are-fe...

Is this really about deporting criminals? No. It's about testing the limits of the constitution and terrorizing communities. ICE is behaving like a rogue agency and the officers responsible for this need to be held accountable.

Yeah, that’s exactly what he wanted.

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

California Governor Gavin Newsom’s office posts a video of Emperor Palpatine reciting Donald Trump’s Truth Social post about L.A. via @swholocron.bsky.social

This is a superb speech by @governor.ca.gov just now. Clear. Strong. Simple. Direct. Angry—in a way that appeals to the best in people, not the worst. Seven plus minutes of the most effective rhetoric in response to Trump. This is how you want a leader to talk. www.youtube.com/watch?v=linJ...

The online feud is amusing, yes, but it’s no accident. If you haven’t already heard of Dark MAGA you need to learn. The plan has always been to replace the dunce. The evil psychopaths taking over our country are playing us. Please do not be distracted. www.commondreams.org/opinion/dark...

Donald Trump just approved the largest meat company in the world to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange—completely ignoring its history of corruption and bribery. Why? Maybe because they donated $5M to his inauguration. I'm pressing for answers.

"It's high time we stopped thinking politically...and started thinking patriotically as Americans." These words, spoken by Maine Senator Margaret Chase Smith, ring just as true 75 years later. Today, I declare it’s high time we put aside partisanship and stand up for democracy.

I don’t know how many times we have to say this, but the U.S. government is not a business and shouldn’t be run like one. It’s a service—for the people.

Late Wed., Sen. Amy Klobuchar told us there is bipartisan support for AI rules and bipartisan oppo to the moratorium: “By preventing cities and states from protecting renters and allowing landlords to leverage AI to collude, House Republicans would raise rents even more while reducing competition."

As Budget Chair I got constant Republican lectures to ignore looming climate disaster because of the debt. “The debt, the debt, the DEBT!!” Now they’re in charge and they’re hiking debt limit $4 trillion for tax breaks, mostly to the richest. What a sham.

47 is the worst president since 45. That's the post. Pass it on.

Despite exploding technology and increased worker productivity, millions of Americans are worse off financially today than they were 52 years ago. Meanwhile, the rich get much richer. We need an economy that works for all, not just the billionaire class.

Good news: Donald Trump, who never lies, just announced he alone has reduced drug prices by 85%. Quick. Go to your pharmacy. Demand an 85% reduction on your drug prices. Tell them Trump sent you. If that doesn’t work, tell him to support the bill I'm introducing that'll do it.

Donald Trump's "big, beautiful" bill would kick hundreds of thousands in Illinois off Medicaid. This isn't just belt-tightening, it's a death sentence for everyday Americans — all in the name of tax breaks for his friends at Mar-a-Lago.

TWO 'special election' results tonight: Democrats defend a Massachusetts seat. Republicans defend an Oklahoma seat. Both margins were big. But the margin shifted by 19% toward Dems compared to 2024 in Oklahoma, & by 13% in Massachusetts, via @the-downballot.com: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Ages 0-4 are the most important, emotionally & intellectually, in human development. Yet, in the US, we have a very high rate of childhood poverty and a broken child care system. Congratulations to New Mexico for leading the way forward for high quality, free child care. Other states must follow.

I've said we need to litigate to protect voting rights everywhere. I am proud that today my team filed a lawsuit in Wyoming. This is how we expand the map for voters. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
