Court-watchers confirm this cruel ICE agent has been reinstated. Last week, in the briefest moment of decency, violently throwing a woman to the floor was “beneath the men and women of ICE.” This week, it’s back to business as usual. The cruelty, after all, is the point.

That is just plainly not true. Your budget slashed help for people who buy Affordable Care Act plans. That's 22 million Americans whose premiums are going up - RIGHT NOW - by double digits directly because of a policy you passed.

Jessica: The guy who drove up to the Mormon church… was a Trump supporter. He had a Trump-Vance flag in his backyard… When the shoe is on the other foot and you can't demonize the left for this one, they say nothing.

So Trump, Johnson, and JD are endlessly repeating the lie that Dems want to shut down the government to get healthcare for "illegals." So why are Dem leaders not on every TV and social media platform debunking this?

In today’s completely unsurprising news, the ICE officer very briefly, taken off duty for shoving a woman to the ground in New York is back on the job not even a week later. www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-off...

Too often, we talk about homelessness as if it's natural or inevitable. The truth is that it's a political choice. When then-Gov. Cuomo cut the Advantage program rather than tax his wealthy donors, his decision sent thousands of New York families into shelters.

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

While they have you distracted… (And the top 1% control more than 1/3rd)

Republicans have a choice: Work with Democrats to stop health care costs from skyrocketing or shut down the federal government. We’re 1 day away from a REPUBLICAN health care crisis and a REPUBLICAN shutdown.

This shouldn’t matter. But also - it can’t only matter when it’s not right-wing violence.

So exhausting..

Underreported Memo Is 'Declaration of War' Against Trump Opponents “By targeting beliefs and protest activity, the directive positions dissent itself as a potential crime”

"one officer smiled for a selfie with her as she cried."

we need evidence of two things: first, that trump can distinguish fantasy from reality and second, that trump is actually president

Ann Selzer was somewhat correct in her prediction — she was just early. I am also right when I point out that Republicans representing the oligarchy have overplayed their cards. They are over their skis. They have jumped the shark. Voters have noticed. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

Congrats to Moldova!!! Russia threw everything to destabilize the election and failed spectacularly. Democracy won 🙌🏼

FDA approved the abortion pill mifepristone 25 years ago. So why is RFK Jr. raising questions about it now? He's trying to roll back abortion access nationwide. I'll keep fighting against attempts to restrict access—because medication abortion is safe and effective. Period.

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake.

“Show us your warrant!” “Ma’am, you’ve been watching too many movies. We’ll show you the warrant after we’re done.” 🤔 *busts in the door with babies crying*

Mommy what did you do when you were in Congress?

Amid an ongoing wave of conspiracy theories and bogus claims about Jan 6, I’ll note this from our reporting: Rioters made all kinds of claims and defenses in court … and jurors convicted 100% of the defendants who went to trial 100%

Van Hollen: "It's good to see the president finally get off the golf course and decide to talk. He's been much more focused, as we all know, on keeping the Epstein files locked up than keeping the government open."

Next is Portland. Step by step by step. State by state by state. The expanded and unprecedented domestic use of our military continues. We cannot let it become normalized. Trump is doing whatever he wants with the most powerful military the world has ever known.

Has anyone collected the vile statements congressional Republicans have made calling for the murder, assault, deportation and/or imprisonment of their colleagues? Seems like there’s a lot of this coming straight from the GOP but the nation is more focused on ordinary liberals on social media.

Friends — Something happened this week. I don't know if you heard it, but I sure did. I believe that America's Sleeping Giant is beginning to awaken. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-sleeping-giant-is-awakening

“The polite phrase for this is ‘democratic backsliding.’ But that’s a euphemism that doesn’t meet the moment. Let’s call it what it is: it’s a power grab. The rule of law isn’t slipping; leaders are sabotaging it. Rights aren’t being neglected; they’re being stripped." @clintonglobal.bsky.social

This is what a judicial warrant looks like. If a federal agent shows up at your door with a warrant that doesn’t have the judge’s signature, you don’t have to let them in. Contact PIRC at 1-888-622-1510 if a federal agent shows up at your residence or workplace. #KnowYourRights

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens. Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

DOJ submitted a sweeping petition to the Supreme Court late Friday, asking the justices to uphold President Donald Trump’s controversial executive order that would deny birthright citizenship to children born in the United States, if neither parent is a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident.

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

Revisited this spectacular Kaleb Horton paragraph about crows this morning. "I have met crows that should be in jail" is one of those sentences that's so good you're initially furious you didn't write it yourself before circling back around to just being glad you got to read it.

Democrats should never vote to fund a government that's waging war on its own citizens and firing officials *because* they insist on following court orders instead of breaking the law. Let Senate Republicans nuke the filibuster. None of this is normal and it shouldn't be treated as such.

What a mess

One fact is clear—ICE is afraid of us. ICE boarded up their buildings, put up fences, hid behind masks, forced us to move to a new location, & pepper balled peaceful protestors. They know their only hope is to divide us in culture wars. We cannot let them. www.qasimrashid.com/p/when-prote...

Lying to Congress? You mean like saying you won't make it harder for Americans to get vaccines if appointed United States Secretary of Health and Human Services? Or you won't overturn Roe v. Wade if appointed to the Supreme Court? That kind of lying?

No Democrat should vote to keep the government open unless ACA funding is restored for the millions of Americans at risk of losing health coverage next year. Remember that this funding is on the chopping block because Trump and Republicans want to give the richest Americans a giant tax cut.

Is it this picture that we shouldn't publish?

No matter what this meeting is about, Pete will always be a National Guardsman assigned to a Civil Affairs unit who got a bunch of crusader tattoos in his 40s because he wants you to think he's a cool, war-criming operator instead of an extremely online wife-beating loser
