Three top Democrats are proposing a 180-day deadline for CBP to pay refunds for all of the Trump tariffs the Supreme Court just invalidated. The 180 day timer would kick off once the bill became law. It directs CBP to prioritize refunding small businesses.

Gotta love it: "The Stop Presidential Embezzlement Act would impose a 100 percent tax on any settlement a president, vice president, cabinet member, or member of Congress receives from the government as a result of a lawsuit filed while in office."

A new Republican House bill proposes sweeping changes to US toxic chemical laws that would gut protections for consumers, workers and the environment, public health advocates mobilizing against the legislation warn.

Investigators say one immigration official abused his girlfriend for years. Another admitted he sexually abused a woman in his custody. A third is charged with taking bribes.

Out of everything real and projected heading into the November election, this is the one that scares the hell out of me

@hcrichardson.bsky.social yet another theft of our tax dollars and resources.

Not getting killed by ICE is easy, simply avoid driving a car or holding up your phone anywhere near wherever ICE is operating (everywhere)

When the Secretary of Defense celebrates the murder of a man who took care of veterans, I'd say he lost the plot but I'm not sure he ever had a grasp on it in the first place.

hey everybody lifelong tech expert here > "system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility that's not how anything works they're lying and destroying evidence hope that helps

We’ve been in WHO since 1948.

"'Our operations are lawful, targeted and focused on individuals who pose a serious threat to this community,' Bovino said..." Again, Liam is **five**. Five years old.

Breaking WaPo: The recent death of a detainee at an immigrant detention camp in Texas has been officially deemed a homicide, according to an autopsy report released Wednesday by the El Paso County Office of the Medical Examiner.

One court decision, two different headlines. Guardian on the left, NY Times on the right. Which one more directly conveys information and the stakes to the reader?

Better batten down the hatches. Ted Cruz is getting on a plane to Laguna Beach in winter.

It must be bad. Ted Cruz left for California. Just got back from the Virgin Islands. www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...

Here we go again... Pathetic. www.rawstory.com/ted-cruz-267...

Big flag: Trump says "people will soon be prosecuted" for their roles in the 2020 election. He says the election was "rigged." It was not rigged. But his threat should be taken seriously.

If any of your relatives were confused and rambling like Trump was at Davos, you’d check them into a home tomorrow. This is not sustainable.

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin. This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

ICE officer David Courvelle, 56, entered a guilty plea to charges of repeatedly sexually abusing a prisoner at a Louisiana ICE detention camp. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

And the grim irony is that carrying your papers isn't enough either. Multiple reports have confirmed the ICE practice of rounding up people in groups and ignoring their offers to show their papers on the spot, then holding them for hours or days or even transporting them to distant places. /2

In Dec., the Trump Organization sought approval to hire foreign workers for its Virginia winery at $13.90/hr—$1.91 less than what the winery paid in 2025. Trump’s own Dep’t of Labor had made a rule change in Oct. allowing this type of foreign worker to be paid less. www.forbes.com/sites/zachev...

We don’t want Greenland. We want healthcare.

Citizens Bank is why ICE can expand detention. They finance CoreCivic and GEO Group after 100 other banks refused. Want to defund ICE? Start with your checking account. Close it, tell them why. www.boycottcitizens.org/take-action

there needs to be a sex offender registry but for ice guys. you should have to go door to door when you move to a new area and inform your neighbors that you used to be an ice guy. they shouldn't be allowed with 500 feet of a school

Trump has gone completely mad.

Millions of Americans watched a middle-aged US citizen get shot in the face and killed by an ICE officer today. That's a level of national trauma that deserves a more respectful response from this administration than falsely claiming she's a domestic terrorist. We have lost our moral compass.

Sometimes all you can do is make the world 0.0000000000001% less awful by being a good person and it feels very meaningless but it’s also the only thing that really matters

This is the ninth shooting by ICE since September (I did not know that). All of them were into vehicles.

Human brains feed off of negativity. Negative thoughts are easily digested and play in a loop in your mind all of the time. The reality, however, is that there is also A LOT OF GOOD happening every single minute. You have to do more work to pay attention to the good but it's worth it.

If you don't know your reps, may I recommend 5calls.org? Click to dial all your state and federal electeds, PLUS scripts if you don't know what to say. Pass it on. @5calls.org

I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK

HOLY SHIT WHAT?!?!

Imagine if newspapers instead wrote something like, "According to police, the suspect tried to hit the officers with his car. In 35 out of 37 statements issued by this department over the past 5 years, police gave false initial statements, later contradicted by their own bodycam footage."

Important context for claims that the Nicole Renee Good was obstructing/assaulting officers before she was shot & killed: The last time immigration agents shot a woman (Marimar Martinez, Chicago) they made similar claims. Prosecutors have already dropped the charges www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

The US should not be allowed to host any international competitions in any sport until we stop doing this. This includes the Olympics.

I have now seen two separate AI reconstruction pictures of Renee Good’s murderer and they are different, which tells you that they’re not good and you should stop sharing them.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Last week, we published a story detailing ICE's strategy for recruiting new officers, including targeting "gun rights" supporters and geo-fencing ads around gun shows. Ex-ICE director told me: “That mentality you’re fostering tends to inculcate in people a certain aggressiveness" wapo.st/3Ngmo9C

For months, Trump’s DHS has wreaked lawless havoc in our neighborhoods. Tear gassing infants, families, and police. Firing their weapons at peaceful citizens. Killing innocent people. It’s brutal, unconstitutional, and out of control. It must stop. Kristi Noem must go. Now.

Update: While this Senate appropriations bill will not cut funding or staffing from parks, it does strip key language affirming that national parks must remain federal lands. This removes an important guardrail preventing the selloff of national parks. www.npca.org/articles/112...

Better yet, disestablish all of DHS, and undo the nightmarish idiocies that we created in a panic 25 years ago. Reestablish the INS, get rid of ODNI, fix the damage from the Patriot Act, etc.
