ICE now has four warehouses for its “mega” detention centers, each which would individually be the largest prison in the country if filled to capacity.

Ticktin said others involved with the effort surrounding the proposed elections executive order include Michael Flynn, Patrick Byrne, and Stefanie Lambert.

The Trump administration says ICE targets "the worst of the worst." But what does the arrest data actually show? The numbers tell a very different story. 🧵

The New York Times published an extraordinary study of the role of billionaires in politics earlier this week, that naturally got lost in everything that is going on, including in Iran. Here is a gift link to the article, and a few select quotes: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/u...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Pentagon tells Congress the first week of the Iran war cost the US $11.3 billion, an AP source says.

Everyone else in the room when a former DOGE employee was deposed.

[fin] Contact your Congresspeople & tell them to oppose the SAVE America Act: Use @5calls.org to call your Senators & Reps or call the US Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 Use @resist.bot to write to them if that's more your thing. Make sure they know that We the People do not want this bill.

[10/x] The SAVE America Act is deliberately designed to make it difficulty to impossible for anyone who has had their name changed—for whatever reason—to get the documents they would need to vote. It is designed not to root out fraud, but to keep us, especially us women, from voting.

🧵 re: SAVE Act. Upshot, good luck jumping through all the hoops to vote if you have had a name change any time in your life.

DOJ is now just another political lackey for the president, with no respect for the rule of law. We will have a lot of work to do to restore its independence. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Schumer on the SAVE America Act: "It is not about showing ID when you show up to vote. It's about the voter registration rolls, destroying them, purging them, not letting people know, and taking the rights in an algorithm but together by DOGE and Musk -- it's an outrage"

Billions of dollars spent on the War in Iran, but we don’t have enough money for the things that help Americans here at home? Health care. Food stamps. Housing. Tariff relief. Lot of things we could do with billions of dollars.

Warren: "It is still the case that the Trump admin cannot explain the reasons we entered this war, the goals we're trying to accomplish. The only part that seems clear is that while there is no money for 15m Americans who lost their healthcare, there's a billion a day to spent on bombing Iran."

Welcome to a new episode #SistersInLaw with talk of the evidence of a young teen’s uncorroborated allegations against Trump, (il)legality of Trump’s war on Iran & his latest attempt to impose tariffs (raise prices) should fail. Click below or on your fave site. www.politicon.com/podcast-epis...

remember when the IRS put out a a free online tax filing system where you could just do your taxes through the IRS and it was actually well made and was pretty well recieved and then the tax filing industry and Republicans killed it and now you have to use TurboTax again

Breaking News: New video adds to evidence that a U.S. missile likely hit an Iranian school where 175 people, many of them children, were reportedly killed.

Every time I open a news app or site and this story isn’t being discussed or featured prominently I feel like I’m losing my mind. Do not look away.

The SAVE Act is Jim Crow 2.0. It would disenfranchise tens of millions of people. If Trump is saying he won’t sign any bills until the SAVE Act is passed, then so be it: there will be total gridlock in the Senate. Senate Democrats will not help pass the SAVE Act under any circumstances.

One of the reaso DOJ is refusing to investigate Renee Good’s death is it would bring to light the government’s attack on the free speech rights of those recording law enforcement.

Cupich: “A real war with real death and real suffering being treated like it’s a video game -it’s sickening.

Pause a moment with me, in memoriam, with the great @jerrybrewer.bsky.social words as a guide: www.nytimes.com/athletic/709...

Trump is requiring CA to cancel the commercial driver’s licenses of 13,000 people here legally with federal work authorization. That’s 13,000 people’s livelihoods & 13,000 people who won’t be performing an essential job in our economy. This petty act is deeply harmful. We’ll continue to fight it.

Strongly recommend calling your US senators today to tell them: 1. Publicly call for Sheehy to be expelled from the Senate for assaulting a protestor. 2. DO NOT vote to confirm Mullin for DHS. Find your senators at reps.fyi

That is insane: "Biden’s pardons eliminated roughly $680,000 in financial penalties owed to victims or the government. In contrast, Trump’s second-term pardons have forgiven criminal debts of more than $1.5 billion." www.cato.org/blog/embarra...

Up to $2 billion per day. Enough to give $200 to EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN CHILD LIVING IN POVERTY instead. Every single day.

In the meantime—and it's quite possible, I'm advised, that these slimebuckets have closed all their legal loops—I wrote a pretty good book that you can acquire for not a lot of money or take out of the library, and I've been known to answer questions here when people ask me questions.

If the intent was to intimidate us or silence our reporting, it didn't work. BTW, here's a recent story identifying some violent agents from El Paso who passed through Chicago and the Twin Cities.

Every American should be offended by the fraud and corruption endemic in the Trump administration

Democrats: can we make it so slightly less people die of hunger and easily preventable disease? Corporate Media & Republicans: how are you going to pay for that?!? Republicans: we would like to spend $1 billion per day bombing Iran to distract US from Trump-Epstein Files. Corporate Media: Yes!!!
