friend of mine is an undocumented immigrant and has been hiding in Melania theaters bc he knows people assume no one is in there

So important. What they say is not the story. That is never the story. What happened is the story. Write what happened.

Man, I bet the NRA is going to be furious when they hear that jack-booted thugs from the federal government executed a law-abiding citizen for exercising his Second Amendment right to carry a handgun. Any second now, I'm sure. He was a white guy, if that helps? Hello? NRA?

UPDATE: @dropsitenews.com has obtained the very graphic video from the lady in the pink coat, which shows ICE executing yet another person in broad daylight:

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

The entire world knows we have a president who's mentally ill. When are we as a nation going to start talking about that?

It’s weird that Trump can stand up to allies but not Russia

@msnbc.com just play the damn audio. Don’t cut away for analysis. Just play the damn audio

The president doesn’t have a constitutional right to impose a tariff because he doesn’t like a foreign country’s TV ad. I know this doesn’t matter to the dictator in the White House, but I thought I’d point it out in case we ever start following the Constitution again.

It was the easiest, one question, open book test in American history. And we are all suffering due to their failure. I will never forget, and never forgive the people who did this to us.

I can’t believe that as recently as a few months ago, the consensus Democratic Party position, even on the left, was that you couldn’t call to ‘abolish ICE.’ Good luck to the Democratic candidates who run in 2028 while opposing the abolition of ICE. A rogue fascist agency.

Trump is ordering the military to use “full force” against an American city, while the Supreme Court declares him the Sun King and Congress hides under a pile of coats. The checks and balances only work when the institutions aren’t run by utter cowards and the complicit

That was one of the most batshit press conferences of Trump's public life. He brandished a photo of Putin and promised to deploy the US military to occupy Chicago, New York, and San Francisco. A sane country would be moving toward impeachment and removal right now.

"They said militarizing the nation's capital is a distraction. No, it is not. It is the core of the fight. They were saying the Putin summit is a distraction. No, the liberal world order and a free Ukrainian people hang in the balance. This is not a distraction. It is the fight."

Zelenskyy: "I told President Trump and all our European allies that Putin is bluffing. He's trying to push before the Alaska meeting on all directions of the front. Russia wants to occupy the whole of Ukraine. This is his wish ... he does not want peace."

Trump still doesn't get the difference between political asylum and insane asylums: "We have people from mental institutions, insane asylums even. That's a mental institution on steroids."

I do not care. You are morally conflicted? You think our orders are illegal, unethical, or immoral? Resign. Consult with qualified counsel and lawfully blow the whistle. No one is making you do this. You're agreeing to do this.

My sense is that the 22 agencies that were combined into the new Department of Homeland Security in 2002 generally functioned better before the combination. Isn't it worth seriously considering whether it's time to do away with DHS and disperse its various functions back to DOJ, Treasury, etc?

Hours after ICE became the highest federal law enforcement agency in America history (and likely in world history), the Supreme Court lifts the last obstacle to ICE deporting people to any random country around the world, even in conflict zones or where migrants are enslaved.

Sotomayor's response, footnote 11.

I’ll say it again: It was a huge mistake for Congress to abolish itself.

It’s true, as many have suggested, that if they can do this to Sen. Padilla, they can do it to others. I’d only add that they already have been doing this to others. A mass deportation regime, sooner rather than later, becomes contemptuous of civil liberties and basic decency.

"Mass deportation" is the excuse and trigger for authoritarianism. As it was always intended to be.

Whether it's liberals putting fliers on the windshield of Chris Cillizza's Tesla or conservative zip-tying toddlers and sending them to torture prisons, both sides could use a lesson in basic civility.

Trump still hasn't figured out that insane asylums and political asylum claims are different things

Today is the day we honor those who died overseas stopping the same thing many of you are ignoring here at home--fascism.

As the Trump family scams pile up, it is hard to imagine anyone more obsessed with grifting money from feeble-minded people. by L. Ron Hubbard

Imagine if when we invaded Iraq, three years in we only took a sliver of the country at the cost of 800,000 men. Would the conventional wisdom be that we are winning? No? Then why do some think Russia is?

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

It's striking how much Trumpists hate what's made the United States great: immigration, trade, medical and scientific research, the rule of law, an enlightened patriotism, a willingness and ability to correct past injustices. At the end of the day, Trumpism is Third Worldism.

Declaring victory is one of Trump's superpowers. It doesn't fool the rest of the world, but half of America it works every time. I don't see why this time would be different.

I don’t do this often and promise not to make a habit of it, but just this once: WE TRIED TO WARN YOU!!!!!

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

‘Okay which one of you accidentally added Robert Cecil to the chat?’

SULLIVAN: “I do not care about the economy if the government claims it can break down anyone's doors, seize anyone with no due process, put them on a plane, and send them to a foreign jail… that is fundamental to this country.” 🇺🇸

Peace in Ukraine is necessary for peace everywhere. Ukraine’s sovereignty is necessary for preserving the very idea of it. Tyranny overcoming democracy through raw power is a precedent that will lead to a world order no free mind would ever want live in. Support Ukraine.

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

Two people disrespected the United States in the Oval Office today: President Trump and Vice President Vance. One person spoke in the best of American tradition: President Zelensky.

Hey @msnbc.com just air the damn video. Sit back and let viewers watch. Then analyze.

It must suck to attend a WH Press briefing while AP is locked out and most of the questions go to right-wing podcasters and internet channels while you sit there and get ignored. I’d rather be AP taking a principled stand than whatever that is.

Is it too much to ask to want the government to stop the president from doing the illegal stuff?

This negotiation between the US and Russia, and cutting out Ukraine, is just like when Trump cut out Afghanistan and negotiated with Taliban. We see how that “good deal” turned out. Afghanistan was on Trump Every Trump deal fails
