For those unfortunate folks in Sinclair/Nexstar markets, here's Jimmy's heartfelt opening monologue tonight!

Weird how Charlie Kirk’s killer is not even a news story anymore

“We learn we should run from such men to avoid being kidnapped, sexually assaulted, or killed. Yet, ICE is increasingly conducting raids and arrests in masks, plain clothes, without visible IDs or badges, using unmarked vehicles — tactics that cause confusion, terror, and mistrust among the public.”

Hard to express to those not in the weeds just how much the current state of the immigration detention system is just utter chaos.

“Some Alligator Alcatraz detainees who couldn’t be located in the ICE database might have been deported — even though the internal data obtained by the Herald show the vast majority of detainees didn’t have final orders of removal from a judge before entering the facility.”

In their pursuit of mass deportation, this administration – and ICE in particular – is intent to avoid even basic accountability and dignity. americasvoice.org/press_releas...

Republicans in Congress are trying to cut nearly $2 BILLION from federal HIV programs. Slashing prevention, care, and lifesaving treatment for over 500,000 people, these cuts would worsen health disparities and cost lives. We must act now to #SaveHIVFunding.

Research is clear: Family separation harms everyone—U.S. citizen children, communities, and our economy. That's why we need the American Families United Act. No American should be forced to choose between their country and their family. And no one should be punished for who they fell in love with.

Mixed-status families show remarkable resilience through cultural values, faith, and community support. We see it every day with our members at American Families United. But resilience shouldn't be required for survival. These families need policy solutions, not just strength to endure.

Many undocumented parents attempt to shield their citizen children from the worst of these effects: hiding immigration status, avoiding certain interactions with institutions, restricting mobility. But protection strategies themselves carry cost, such as increased isolation and stress.

BREAKING: In an unhinged moment, Trump admits: We've got a lot of stupid people in this country running things." I think Trump forgot he hired them all. What an embarrassment.

We actually knew it would be targeting Tylenol before hand so lots of people could short the market. It’s still market interference and manipulation, of course… but it isn’t necessarily directed from the White House it’s just plainly telegraphed in advance.

Remember the bleach!

Two named sites are operated by GEO Group, one of a number of private prisons set to reap massive profits under the admin’s anti-immigrant agenda. And because Senator @ossoff.senate.gov ’s investigation of abuses in immigration detention is ongoing, further credible reports are likely to come.

Department of Homeland Security agents arrested 70 people outside a New York City building where immigrants are being detained. An additional 12 elected officials were arrested after they attempted to enter the building to assess the living conditions of the detained migrants.

Trump Administration's New $100,000 H-1B Visa Fee Order Sets off Panic and Confusion #CLINICDaily: mailchi.mp/cliniclegal/...

If you are married to someone who could face deportation, you are not alone. There are 1.5 million people in the country like you who could face family separation. See our latest Newsletter here: bit.ly/3Kfihcz or visit www.americanfamiliesunited.org for info and resources. #keepingfamiliestogether

Marrying a U.S. citizen does NOT automatically grant a green card. 1.5 million US citizens are married to an undocumented spouse who cannot adjust their status because there is NO way to do it. This puts all their family members in emotional limbo.

New research reveals the profound impact on mixed-status families—where at least one family member lacks legal immigration status. 🧵 Marrying a U.S. citizen does NOT automatically grant a green card. These families face deportation threats that fundamentally reshape how they live, parent, and cope.

Jersey raised me to be tough and to stand up.

Chris Murphy: "The question today is when is enough enough for Republicans. I was very glad to see Ted Cruz stand up and say what is simply true -- it is unconstitutional and deeply immoral for the president to jail or silence his political enemies."

I used to think that mass deportation was mostly about racism and white nationalism. But I realize now that some of it is just corruption and bags of cash.

Advocates say the Trump administration’s goal is clear: make the pre-deportation process so punitive that targets give up and leave voluntarily. The administration and its allies see the detention policy as a corrective to decades of catch-and-release policies www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

They’re also seizing people who try to self deport, so the advocates are lying even about this.

The president ordering the murder of 3 more human beings on a boat didn’t even make the list

It’s not a crime to be in this country as an undocumented person. It’s a civil violation. But you know what is a crime? Taking a bribe from undercover agents in exchange for the promise of government contracts WHEN YOU’RE THE FCKING BORDER CZAR.

Rep. Don Bacon on tariffs: "We just heard yesterday from a company we have that makes wind combines that they're moving all their to Europe because the tariffs are too high...That's hundreds of jobs. Iowa and Nebraska are really struggling."

One of my favorite moments in the history of free speech: Larry Flynt publishing a satirical Campari ad featuring Jerry Falwell Sr. as an incestuous drunk who first had sex with his mother in an outhouse. Falwell sued. In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court found that satire is protected speech.

After 14 years of being forced abroad in exile, to keep our family united, I’ve recognized the nation has totally lost out on our ability to be resilient! The nation is poised to decimate hundreds of thousands of American families, in hundreds of communities, and it can’t be allowed to continue!

There’s no doubt that attempting to navigate the immigration system is mind boggling and numbing. ESPECIALLY when you go in naively, thinking your status as a U.S. citizen carries some kind of weight for your petition for your spouse… After 23 years…I believe there’s a form of PTSD that develops.

Sounds like a recipe for PTSD. There’s no good reason for it to be like that!!

Thanks to the Urban Institute for their powerful research. See the results of their study here: www.urban.org/research/pub...

That's why we're raising awareness about the American Families United Act, which would at least give those families a fighting chance in court to remain together rather than face family separation. Learn more at AmericanFamiliesUnited.org and AFUAction.org. And follow me here for more info.

While numbers are great to have, we at American Families United know this reality. We hear from our members every day about the burdens they are forced to bear because of failed immigration policies that don't provide a pathway to lawful status for their spouses and partners.

20% of adults in all immigrant families and 44% in mixed-status families worried “a lot” or “some” about talking to the police. 16% of adults in all immigrant families and 38% in mixed-status families, worried “a lot” or “some” about going to work.

32% of adults in immigrant families worried “a lot” or “some” that they, a family member, or a friend could be deported. In mixed-status families, this was 58%. 11% percent of adults in immigrant families and 22% in mixed-status families worried “a lot” or “some” about attending religious services.

29% of adults in all immigrant families and 60% in mixed-status families worried “a lot” or “some” about participating in essential activities in their communities because they did not want to draw attention to their or a family member’s immigration status.

Research shows that mixed-status families, families with at least one undocumented person, experience high rates of fear of going out into public. Here are the facts from a recent @urbaninstitute.bsky.social study, which found that... 🧵

No bottom for ICE. Took a mom from a soccer game & left her kid watching. Note the local cops there to protect ICE & allow the kidnapping.

Raskin: "He wants to condition the public to the idea that it's completely legitimate for the president not only to be ordering prosecutions of particular people over the objections of prosecutors, but he wants to condition the public to accepting the idea he can do that in public, openly."

Good point.

NEW: In a break from decades of history, the Trump administration has started detaining virtually everyone facing deportation — even if they’ve lived in the U.S. for decades. Dozens of judges, with increasing alarm, have ruled the policy shift illegal. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

This is it, essentially. The core of it. The goal of ICE detention in the mass deportation system is to make people give up their case without fighting; to have an officer say “if you want to see a judge and plead your case, you’re going to be jailed for months and months, so why not give up now?”

Helps explain why Tom Homan has been so aggressive pushing Trump's agenda. Maybe he's a true believer, or maybe he knows his ability to keep walking around free depends on making the boss happy.
