Who are the Venezuelan immigrants Trump sent to CECOT? Earlier this year, our team compiled a first-of-its-kind, case-by-case accounting of 238 Venezuelan men who were held in El Salvador. These are their stories. https://propub.li/492QTqQ

Chicago is having none of this administration's BS.

The EPSTEIN Files are a much quicker read than I expected.

someone said no republicans would go on the record supporting the nasty post....where there is this guy

This is a Member of Congress.

agreed. stop acting like this is "criticism" - when is the media and Congress gonna call Trump out for this?

New report reveals extent of Barron Trump's relationship to far-right influencer

executive privilege to stop the National Archives from releasing those materials. The officers had requested the documents earlier this year as part of their effort to hold him accountable for the violence at the Capitol. So much for Trump “supporting our police.”

BOOM! FLIP! That’s a 14-15 point overperformance via @the-downballot.com!

In a stealth upset, Democrat Eric Gisler flips a GOP-held Georgia House seat spanning parts of Athens and Oconee County. Gisler won 39% of vote last November. He captured 51% tonight to defeat a Republican backed by Gov. Brian Kemp and other GOP leaders.

ICE cut off her f*cking wedding ring

"Gus is a kid with special needs. A kid who did nothing except be born in a nation where cruelty has become a badge of honor for fascist monsters. To the adults who did this, hear Me. You screamed a slur at a child. You tried to frighten a family. You chose hatred over humanity. You are cowards."

"We could roll our eyes and pretend that regular order still exists. In private, everyone admits nothing in the federal apparatus can be trusted. But publicly, we pantomime as if the foundation of the federal government hasn’t transformed. America chose pretend." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

If you think Paramount is just trying to buy Warner Brothers so Ellison can stop CNN from criticizing Trump… you’re right! www.wsj.com/business/med...

NEW: Chemical industry lobbyists have long pushed the government to adopt a less stringent approach to gauging the cancer risk from chemicals, one that would help ease regulations on companies that make or use them. They finally got their wish.

The Secretary of Defense taking extrajudicial killing requests from podcast hosts

🔥 KOH: “What we’re seeing is what the founding fathers feared the most — the collapse of our checks & balances. The Supreme court is supposed to be a co-equal branch, It's basically a mouthpiece for Trump. Members of congress are resigning rather than stand up to him.”

OMG - who needs a laugh/crying laugh?!!

The Trump administration said it will withhold federal SNAP funding from more than 20 Democratic-led states unless they turn over sensitive personal data about program recipients to the Trump administration.

The U.S. has conducted 19 strikes on alleged drug-carrying boats, killing at least 76 people. Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it. He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner. This is a danger to us all.

Indigenous actress Elaine Miles of "Northern Exposure" was detained by ICE at a Redmond bus stop. When she showed them her Tribal ID, they told her it was fake

This is a really big story that should not be missed. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed? That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.

this is fascism

The truth will have its day. That day is now. Release all the Epstein files.

beyond disgusting

Writers, heads up - #writers #authors #literary

This is Adelita Grijalva. She was elected 43 days ago. Republicans still refuse to swear her in because she is the final vote needed to release the Epstein Files.

LA: “They took a US citizen father out and left a toddler in the backseat. Two heavily armed border patrol agents got in that car and drove the child and the vehicle away.” What are we doing?

It got drowned out in all the good news from last night, but Boston Mayor Michelle Wu became the youngest person to be reelected in the city's history. She ran unopposed because her opponent--Patriots owner Bob Kraft's son--withdrew a few months ago after realizing he had no hope of winning.

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

One way we've been making an impact is with corporate boycotts. Please consider cancelling your Spotify subscription until the ICE ads are removed. Streaming hate is a choice; refuse to fund it. #CancelSpotify app.sosha.ai/s/5xwPbr9h

This enrages me. Honestly, you should just roll up the paper, throw it in the trash can, and join the White House Office of Communications if this is what you’re going to do these days.

good riddance

no one does a major "renovation" who plans to move in a few years. The GOP is calling our alarm/grief "manufactured furor" of course

TERRIFYING

Does he even know his "peace deal" has fallen apart already? Maybe no one told him because they didn't want to deal with his inevitable tantrum?

It's Prison Banned Books Week — a week dedicated to shining a light on the widespread denial of incarcerated people's freedom to read. We all have a First Amendment right to read and receive information, in and out of prison. Censorship has no place in a democracy.
