Just a reminder that ICE didn't exist until 2002. It's not some longstanding institution that must be maintained. It was created as a knee-jerk reaction to 9/11, and it could be gotten rid of as easily as it was created.

Reminder: Mamdani just wants to increase taxes by 2% if you're making a million or more a year.

Happy 100th birthday to Dick Van Dyke!

Update: DOJ haw now sued 18 states. My law firm has already filed to intervene to defend voters in 13 of the first 14 cases. We are working on the remains 5. This is an insane effort by DOJ and we are a small firm. But we are committed to protecting free and fair elections in 2026. More soon.

it's actually kinda funny in a way to get to the finish line of curing cancer and having the government go eh you know what. never mind

History: When NAZI Germany recruited for the SS and SA it specifically recruited the uneducated and unemployed. Bitter rejected people, easy to indoctrinate and ready to rough up others. #Fascism #ICE #SS #SA

DOJ has sued Maine, Oregon, California, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Washington, Delaware, Maryland, New Mexico, Rhode Island, and Vermont for access to its most sensitive voter data. My firm has moved to intervene in 10 of those cases. We are working on the last 4.

There's zero evidence Abrego Garcia ever belonged to MS-13 or smuggled migrants, only accusations that have never been proven in court. But the Trump administration keeps pushing the lies, so that makes them true. One hell of a catch, that Catch MS-13. www.wonkette.com/p/kilmar-abr...

*Fargo narration* '“It’s not something we hear every day, especially in Plymouth here. So obviously our senses were, you know, a little elevated with that,” Fadden said. It’s unclear what led to this situation, but Fadden said multiple 911 calls came from inside the car.'

Their closing message to Indiana: change your maps to artificially benefit the President's political party or 'roads will not be paved' as punishment. They are openly saying this. Who would want to live in a country that works like that?

MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported? NOEM: We haven't deported veterans MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

To anyone interested, the reason why the right are so against wind turbines is they are so good, it’s potentially free electricity for the world indefinitely. That’s why they’re so against it.

After shipping Abrego Garcia to a horrific prison in El Salvador, begrudgingly bringing him back to the US, criminal charges & grabbing him into immigration jail after criminal bail, it turns out Trump never got a final order of deportation. On that basis, Judge Xinis ordered his immediate release.

While we concern ourselves about SNAP benefits…

When the winner of the Nobel peace prize smuggled herself over the water and out of Venezuela to attend the ceremony in Oslo this week, her allies called the Pentagon to ask them not to arbitrarily murder her. www.wsj.com/world/americ...

JUST NOW: Trump now openly says he is trying to force CNN into the hands of his allies to stop the network from criticizing him. 🇺🇸 Welcome to authoritarianism. ‘1984’ is here. (Imagine Biden saying this about Fox)

At this hearing, @padilla.senate.gov asked me whether mass deportation is making us more safe. Here was my response.

Phoebe Memorial, the sole hospital in Albany, GA, was founded on the idea that all patients be treated, regardless of their ability to pay. So why do some residents — including many hospital staffers — turn to a free clinic for care? THREAD 🧵

So it turns out an ice agent is much more likely to have an arrest record than an immigrant.

Brett Kavanaugh's "minor inconvience" now includes beating people up and cutting off their wedding rings for [checks notes] "observing ICE from a distance."

Just incredible levels of incompetence, permeated by corruption and insider trading. (10/n)

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

Just called my 2 GOP senators to echo this. It's wrong and cruel to take away the only option millions of Americans have, to get coverage. Giving people a thousand dollars is a drop in the bucket, nothing if you actually have to get care.

The EPA has removed references about humans causing climate change from its website. No US government website can be trusted for science information.

“I had always hoped that this land might become a safe and agreeable asylum to the virtuous and persecuted part of mankind, to whatever nation they might belong.” GW

The two simultaneous WH messages on the economy (both used today) are: 1) It’s Biden’s economy and it sucks 2) It’s Trump’s economy and it’s an A++++

SCOOP — Gregg Phillips, a conspiracy theorist with no emergency management experience who helped produce the election-denying documentary ‘2000 Mules’ with Dinesh D’Souza and has faced numerous legal inquiries, has been named head of FEMA’s Office of Response and Recovery. My story:

There's now a "green light to cause massive amounts of taxpayer fraud, and abuse of federal financial aid dollars financed by taxpayers, without any checks and balances,” one fired employee said. "It’s only a matter of time [before] they cause the whole system to fail." Published March 24, 2025.

Efficiency!

5 citizens are in DC today sharing how immigration agents detained them DHS still denies it is arresting citizens Dayanne Figueroa of Chicago agrees. What happened to her wasn’t an arrest, she told House & Senate Democrats just now “It was an assault & kidnapping of a U.S. citizen.”

Fox News will applaud this but can you imagine their coverage if President Biden hatched a secret plan to take over Fox News and revamp its programming to be nicer to him

Offshore wind is happening in the U.S., despite the Trump administration’s hostility to it. I saw it up close, & from what I saw, these offshore turbines are co-existing with the marine environment & generating a reliable source of zero-carbon electricity www.oneearthnow.org/p/offshore-w...

One theme here is the speed of American institutional collapse. “It took Erdoğan 15 years to do what Trump did in 100 days. If [Americans] do not accept the fact that this is a long game, and it will be brutal, I think you won’t have the patience and stamina to bear it.”

Amid NIH funding delays, reversals and uncertainty, a scientist at Harvard who studies breast cancer has lost one-third of her lab employees and wonders if she can continue her research experiments. n.pr/4a4N3zD

You’re literally paying “twice” for Trump’s tariffs.

New WSJ reporting: "During a December visit to Washington, David Ellison offered assurances to Trump administration officials that if he bought Warner, he'd make sweeping changes to CNN, a common target of President Trump's ire, people familiar with the matter said..."

Former oil and gas workers in Texas are now fighting to make the industry plug old empty wells, which are exhaling methane and vomiting toxic water (from fracking miles away) all over the state. Eye-opening story by @mollytaft.com www.motherjones.com/environment/...

this kind of knocking everything down because you won one election is really troubling. that's our information, our data, our institutions, and you're a temporary caretaker. you shouldn't be able to just raze what came before, even if you want to go in another direction. shit is really broken

The President of the United States unilaterally levied a tax on all of us and is redistributing our taxes to a core segment of his supporters.

Trump jacking up fees for H-1B visas has caused a crisis in rural health care as much of rural America relies on foreign doctors. wapo.st/4rQFGlZ

Neither Witkoff nor Kushner work for the State Dept. They are negotiating peace treaties in the name of the US while they both have business interests, or family ties to business interests that could benefit in the negotiqtions. It stinks.
