This is a growing crisis and a pending catastrophe. In my district, the Upper Peninsula has a significantly higher proportion of residents aged 65 and older - 23%, compared to the state and national average of 18%. Everyone has a right to a comfortable retirement and a life of dignity to the end.

More of this nationwide please!

Minneapolis stands up to ICE Minneapolis police chief warns officers: Stop unlawful force by ICE or lose your job Chief Brian O’Hara says he’ll fire city police officers if they don’t intervene when immigration agents use unlawful force. www.ms.now/news/minneap...

There is no legitimate reason not to release the complete Sep. 2 video. They released video of the first strike. What national security justification could there be for releasing video of the first part of the action but not the second? They wanted to cover up what happened after the first strike.

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

ABC News and MS NOW reports that a Virginia grand jury has refused to re-indict Letitia James on mortgage fraud charges

#GVerse #Veterans US Citizen detained by ICE: Clearly it didn't matter that I was a citizen, a veteran, or identified who I was. They ignored everything I said. They just broke my window and dragged me out. I let them know I was a veteran, I wasn't doing anything wrong, just trying to get to work.

REP. HIMES: "What I saw in that room was one of the most troubling things I've seen in my time in public service. Any American who sees the video that I saw will see the US military attacking shipwrecked sailors."

Collins probably sees that there is very little chance of winning in a D+10 environment and might be reluctant to have her final campaign be a loss.

FLORIDA — Woman in scrubs: “I’m a U.S. citizen! Why are you doing this to me??”

That’s the current police commissioner. When Mamdani takes office, if he allows the NYPD to assist ICE or attack protesters, I’ll criticize him just as much as @govpritzker.illinois.gov who has utterly failed the public by ordering the IL State Police to assault peaceful demonstrators at Broadview.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

Our system is broken. Medicare for All, now.

Fascinating when the NYTimes decides to be a newspaper versus when they don't.

“Ah, just one more thing, sir. You’re blowing up those boats, saying they’re filled with drugs headed for the US. But then you go and pardon the guy who brought in 400 tons of cocaine. That’s billions of doses. Help me understand that.”

🎯

so none of what he’s saying is real btw

This is the America that Stephen Miller hates.

The problem with ICE is not that it's targeting people who aren't criminals. The problem with ICE is that it's an unaccountable secret deportation police. It cannot be reformed under a better president. It can be made less terrible, but the instrument of repression remains for the next tyrant.

Twitter now displays where accounts are from and it has confirmed that too many of the political accounts are out of country bots. Why are folks still there? To argue with bots? A waste of precious time while enriching the richest man on Earth. Delete your account.

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends. We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over. We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

Kavanaugh is the worst SCOTUS justice in history at this point.

Trump's domestic Gestapo raided a job site, then handcuffed a US citizen born in Raleigh NC -- even after being shown the guy's REAL ID, which is only available to US citizens and LPRs CBP+ICE will ignore your identifying documents when it suits their racism www.newsobserver.com/news/local/a...

As many of the ppl as possible doing these atrocities need to be utterly ruined, if we want to still have a goddamn country. I mean *ruined*. Felony convictions. In cases like this, charges for abusing a minor. Finances destroyed. We lay waste to ppl like this, or they will bring ruin upon *you*.

X has changed their policy and now you can see where the accounts are based. Here’s an “influencer from Texas”

Check out this thread. It’s certainly helpful for my own sanity to hear that DHS BWC shows what we all saw with our own eyes. It’s really something to be gaslit by the government after each of their attacks.

Senator Murphy sounds the alarm as Trump calls for the deaths of Dems who served the country to be killed for reminding the military their loyalty is to the constitution not to him 🇺🇸

listen to this king. a team with low morale is ineffective. relatedly, a team with high morale is effective. also relatedly: we are going to win

when I was young, i used to wonder how people like this would fare in life, as they didn't seem suited for gainful employment. it turns out, the internet allowed them to accumulate a massive audience of similar idiots, enriching them and turning them into a presidential advisor

WATCH: Speaker Johnson says he’s “deeply disappointed” the senate passed a bill he voted for 🤔 @rokhanna.bsky.social : “Johnson looks frazzled. He’s lost it, attacking a bill the survivors wanted without talking to them… that he voted for. He has lost the confidence of half his caucus.”

"As he addressed Halligan, the judge declared he 'just wanted to make sure' that indictment had never been seen by the full grand jury. "Halligan confirmed that it had not. She then sat down after speaking for less than a minute."

NEWS: During a hearing in federal court in VA, prosecutors confirmed that the operative indictment in the case against James Comey was never shown to or voted on by the entire grand jury before it was presented in open court. Defense counsel argued that’s a complete bar to further prosecution

ICE employee among 16 men arrested in Bloomington sex trafficking sting, police say. "When he was arrested, he said, 'I'm ICE, boys,'" Hodges said during a press conference Tuesday. "Well, unfortunately for him, we locked him up."

The court issues a scathing ruling today in the Comey case. Judge William Fitzpatrick notes, among other things, that Lindsey Halligan made two false statements of the law when responding to questions by grand jurors. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

POV: you are a young woman celebrating a recent academic success

i'd say it did. the public put a group of thieves, vandals and extremists in office last november and they promptly went about destroying everything that might work to limit their ability to loot, steal and inflicting pain on the people they hate

Mag Judge Fitzpatrick says two statements by Halligan to grand jury "appear to be fundamental misstatements of the law that could compromise the integrity of the grand jury process."

“Finally, we got an ICE agent who crossed the line so bad, he got arrested,” Attorney Greg Kirakosian said in a statement to L.A. TACO. “This is something I think our local law enforcement has to start doing with such clear examples of unnecessary tactics.” lataco.com/gerardo-rodr...

This does not sit well for the American people. Our gut is telling us something is wrong here. The question comes up over and over again: if there’s nothing to hide, then why is the President engaged in such a clear cover up and pressure campaign of Members of Congress?

Bovino’s rant fits the authoritarian indicators in our assessment: empowered security forces acting with impunity, militarized immigration raids, executive overreach through federalized enforcement, and loyalty-driven ops unmoored from oversight. His tone isn’t an outlier but a symptom.
