Pick your poison: ICE is rogue or dangerously under trained. Neither good. We’ve seen this movie before in Minneapolis The shootings in Maine and Houston reveal a huge problem for DHS, Tom Homan, and Republicans like Susan Collins who decided to give ICE another $70 billion with no guardrails.

We were promised 24–48 hours. Then a few weeks. Then a few months. We've had "bridge day" and "power plant day" multiple times. Every day it's "Iran wants a deal." Every day it's "the war is almost over." At some point, enough.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo Joan Sebastian Guerrero Ruben Ray Martinez Alex Pretti Renee Good Dozens of other innocent lives. These deaths aren’t mistakes. They’re the result of choices. Policy choices. Funding choices. Choices to not hold this Administration accountable. It’s time to SHUT. IT. DOWN!

People are afraid to leave their homes. Parents are afraid to take their kids to school. Families are afraid go shopping. This cannot go on. We cannot allow this country to become a surveillance state. We must hold this Administration accountable.

This Administration is engaged in the largest criminal cover-up in American history.   Todd Blanche cannot serve as AG. Full stop.

Yes. #Pinks Britt’s reason for asking Blanche to look into “meaningful” legislation of mifepristone is anything but meaningful. What Britt is unknowingly doing is advocating FOR BODILY AUTONOMY. But she advocates bodily autonomy of some while simultaneously suggesting taking it away from others.

Trump: "Next week comes the power plants, next week comes the bridges. We're gonna knock out all their power plants, we're gonna knock out all their bridges unless they get to the table and negotiate."

"Republicans are going to confirm Todd Blanche as attorney general, and they own everything that comes after that. Witch hunts…but for real If past is prologue, what comes after will be a steady stream of political prosecutions." By @lizdye.bsky.social via @atrupar.com's PN.

I’m probably biased but it’s starting to feel like the conflict over ICE is going to be the defining feature of Trump’s second term. Will America have an unaccountable paramilitary terror force serving at the whim of the regime, or will we be a nation of laws?

That’s called war crimes

KLOBUCHAR: Do you agree that it's unacceptable for federal agents to forcibly enter someone's home without a warrant and drag them onto the street without checking that they even have the right person? BLANCHE: Well, it depends on the circumstances. It's not a black and white answer

WHITEHOUSE: Why won't you tell us what became of the $50,000 in confidential money that the FBI reported it gave to Tom Homan? BLANCHE: I'm not aware of what you're speaking about. To the extent there has been public reporting about an investigation, I know nothing about it.

BLUMENTHAL: A judge in Florida referred your misconduct to the bar of New York for potential discipline, including losing your law license. Has that kind of referral ever happened by a federal judge for an AG of the US? BLANCHE: I don't know

Blanche slips! 😬 KENNEDY: Are you and President Trump friends? BLANCHE: I'm his lawyer. Was his lawyer.

Blanche refuses to agree with Blumenthal that ICE agents shouldn't fire weapons into cars

SCHIFF: The president was convicted in a case you represented him in of falsifying business records for tax purposes. Does this settlement not absolve him of any liability for tax crimes associated with what he's been convicted of? BLANCHE: He can't be audited for that SCHIFF: Of course he can be

Ted Cruz is the latest of a string of Republican senators to push an agreeing Blanche to ban the mailing of mifepristone. They're coming for abortion pills next.

We need housing, not handcuffs. Congress passed a bipartisan affordable housing bill to help tackle the housing crisis. Instead of signing it into law, President Trump is holding it hostage — all to make it harder for Americans to vote. Think about that.

We need an independent investigation into Lorenzo Salgado Araujo’s death. His family deserves the truth and justice.

Under Trump, more than 50 people have died in immigration detention. At least 21 people have been shot in encounters with ICE agents, and this is the second person killed by ICE in the last week alone. None of this is normal. We need an immediate end to this brutality.

Now that ICE has killed again in Maine, reupping: The creators of this horrifying new reality are Trump and Stephen Miller. They pretended to want it done quietly this time, but that's just spin. The whole project is intrinsically geared toward exactly this outcome. newrepublic.com/article/2129...

THE ATTACKS ARE REAL: 🚨 Voting rights gutted 🚨 ICE violence in our streets 🚨 Voter registration groups raided THE RESPONSE IS REAL: #GoodTrouble. This weekend. LFG!

It is a carnival of corruption. Congressional stock trading. First Family crypto schemes. A secondhand jumbo jet. These are not academic concerns. They hurt all of us - and they are related to the reasons we can't have common-sense outcomes that most Americans actually agree on.

Rep. Al Green asks Warsh about Trump's meme coin grift and then tells them, "you're gonna have to take a stand at some point, because this president is interested in making money. He puts money ahead of the people of this country."

I'm just so sick of this shit day in and day out I genuinely do not believe we can take another 2.5 years of it

wrote about why ICE keeps killing people. it's because they're part of a pretty explicitly genocidal project. trump wants them to kill people, and so they do. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/ices-missi...

Ossoff: "The abuses of federal power, the misconduct is unprecedented. That's why Donald Trump so deeply fears his impending losses in these midterms, because he recognizes that when there's a change in the balance of power, there will be real accountability imposed"

CEOs of the largest companies in America make 281 times what the typical worker makes. Since 1978, pay for these CEOs has skyrocketed 1,094%. Typical worker pay? 26%. So no, your $5 coffee isn’t why you can’t afford rent.

Rachel Maddow’s description of Juan Sebastian Guerrero killed by ICE in Maine is a must see. She explains what happened w/out being graphic, and somehow that makes it even more powerful. Remember Alex, Pretti, and Renée? There have been no prosecutions. Still no justice. We know how this goes.

Security camera footage obtained from local businesses showed individuals who are believed to be U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers surrounding a car and pulling the driver onto the street, in events connected to the fatal shooting of a man in a coastal town in Maine on July 13.

New in PN: Mitch McConnell's legacy of destruction "Almost everything about how the modern GOP operates — its aversion to solving problems, its destruction of norms that used to allow the institution to operate, its embrace of chaos and dysfunction — can be at least partly attributed to McConnell."

Neguse on Republicans pushing a daylight saving time bill: "We're fiddling with the clocks while the country burns"

No hell too hot. www.sunjournal.com/2026/07/13/i...

The MAGA plot to subvert the 2026 midterm elections is coming into focus. 1. Declassify docs to claim 2020 was stolen. 2. Declare a "national emergency" to seize control of the election apparatus. 3. Hope the "national security" predicate keeps courts out. www.mediamatters.org/voter-fraud-...

So, this is something I've been talking a lot about on TV the past few weeks John Solomon, Bill Pulte...the playbook is pretty clear (Bannon actually laid it out). Solomon is working on a WH task force to help identify (manufacture) instances of foreign interference in 2020. Pulte will declassify.

Trump says the Senate should pass the Clarity Act, which fails to ban the President or administration officials from profiting off crypto, to "honor Lindsey Graham." Remember that Trump earned over $1B from his crypto grifts last year. Who's really being honored here?

BREAKING: A federal judge says President Trump's lawsuit against the IRS was filed for an "improper purpose" and refers attorneys for disciplinary action.

Says the guy who, after losing in a free & fair election, incited an insurrection against his own country: the very definition of treason. #ImpeachConvictRemoveImprison

BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: In a stunning admission, the FBI just confirmed to me the existence of training videos instructing FBI analysts on what to redact in the Epstein Files. I’ll show you the letter and discuss the massive implications in one hour. Link below: www.muellershewrote.com/p/breaking-e...

🚨A person is dead following an ICE-involved shooting in Biddeford, Maine. We are awaiting more details.

WATCH: “It certainly brings up some issues of sovereignty…” Even FOX isn’t buying Netanyahu’s bullshit about “moving from aid to partnership” as he admits his “lowering aid to zero” lie is really just cover for MERGING 🇮🇱 & 🇺🇸 militaries. Outrageous.

What happened to me in the West Bank was an outrage. But it is nothing compared to what Palestinians face every day. It is time to share their stories that American politics have silenced and ignored. This is our first video about Palestinians we met.

“I had no idea how bad it was until I went there… it is apartheid. It is inhumane. It is cruel.” MUST-WATCH — @rokhanna.bsky.social tells Hasan about his trip to the West Bank and horror stories he heard about treatment of Palestinians by 🇮🇱 settlers. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/Dat8gx_...

Trump’s ICE goons just killed another person in Maine. Until they are held accountable this won’t stop. Why would it? www.wmtw.com/article/sign...

Fox News brought on Ro Khanna this morning to do a hit interview about his trip to the West Bank. Imagine hosts treating a Republican like this.

New in PN: Lindsey Graham and the rot of modern conservatism "Graham died a coward. From Gingrich to Trump, he embodied the movement-to-racket transformation of the GOP. Has America ever seen a capitulation so self-abnegating as his conversion from snarling Trump critic into swooning cheerleader?"

this, for me, is the defining Lindsey Graham statement

Nothing to see here: Just 292,150+ people warning about Trump Admin’s new federal rule to strip grant funding power away from experts, scientists and unbiased arbiters Instead granting power over federal grants to Trump appointees Enormous issue Comment deadline is today

🎯 @repwalkinshaw.bsky.social : “Any senator who votes to confirm Todd Blanche should know — you’re now part of the cover-up. You’re complicit in the cover-up if you vote to confirm the Todd Blanche for attorney general, who has led the cover-up of the Epstein Files.”

Israeli settlers detain American congressman @RepRoKhanna… and both the IDF and republicans in Congress back the settlers… 🤔
