"In Chicago, of 92 people arrested for assaulting or impeding officers last fall, 74 cases have resulted in no charges; in 13 cases, charges were filed and dismissed; and five charged cases were still pending. . . there have been no convictions. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

thinking about how Savannah Guthrie had to cancel her trip to work the Olympics because of her mom’s kidnapping but the guy who heads up the investigative body handling the case was posting pictures of himself in the US hockey locker room today lol

The FBI Director, everyone. You paid for it.

Massive voter suppression effort. www.axios.com/2026/02/10/s...

In just a few moments, I will vote against the so-called SAVE America Act and I am a strong no. That's because this bill would place unnecessary burdens on millions of women and eligible citizens to register to vote and make their voices heard. It is un-American & undermines our democracy.

Frost on seeing the "unredacted" Epstein files: A few takeaways. Number one, there's a lot of documents that are still redacted. When I asked the DOJ about it, they said they received it that way, which means that Kash FBI kept them redacted when they gave it to the DOJ, which is interesting...

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

A day after Israel accused Hamas of truce violations, Israeli strikes on an apartment building and tent camp in Gaza killed at least 30 Palestinians, including several children, in one of the highest death tolls since the October ceasefire took effect.

“Imagine how they lie when there’s no evidence to contradict them.” Watch this powerful message from Jon Stewart.

The march is now passing the Chicago city hall / Cook County hall building. The chant goes up, "Minnesota don't you fear, we, the people, are right here"

This is appalling. I can say with certainty that Steve Jobs would be ashamed of Tim Cook at this terrible moment, one of many these days, and he has sullied the last year of his tenure and the Apple brand by his craven need to please shareholders over holding onto some basic values of decency.

they went to an emergency room seeking help for their 7 year old child. ICE arrested the 7 year old and her parents. the family is here legally. www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

My two-year-old niece correctly identified a giraffe and an elephant in pictures, displaying a level of cognitive mastery that can only be described as presidential.

Except Mary, Jesus and Joseph were brown… Merry Christmas, everyone.

Christmas in the East Wing, 2023. 🎄

HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files: Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996. The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/u...

Marjorie Taylor Greene: "I think the midterms are gonna be very hard for Republicans. I'm one of the people that's willing to admit the truth and say I don't see Republicans winning the midterms right now, so that doesn't bode well for Mike Johnson."

Trump wastes no time targeting Sen. Mark Kelly after the indictments he orchestrated against James Comey & Letitia James are dismissed anntelnaes.substack.com/p/james-come...

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...

We should NOT be selling weapons to one of the worst human rights abusers in the world. This should be a no-brainer. MBS should be held responsible for the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi — not welcomed at the White House to celebrate a multibillion-dollar arms package deal.

Breaking on MSNBC: Two federal prosecutors have been placed on leave at the direction of the White House after filing a sentencing memo seeking 27 months in prison for a pardoned Jan. 6 rioter who brought illegal guns and ammunition to President Obama's house in 2023.

🚨BREAKING: The Department of Justice (DOJ) this week placed two federal prosecutors on leave after they wrote in a court filing that on Jan. 6, 2021, “thousands of people comprising a mob of rioters attacked the U.S. Capitol,” a source familiar with the personnel moves told Democracy Docket.

Good reminder Similar to the bi partisan Border deal that Trump blew up

Activistas afirman que la cooperación de MPD con ICE no solo pone en peligro a los residentes inmigrantes, sino que también podría poner en peligro la «seguridad pública» que, según el presidente Trump, justificaba el envío de agentes federales. 51st.news/es/ice-aumen...

This man is being subjected to a real-life version of Kafka’s “The Trial” as punishment for being the embarrassing object of the regime’s own malicious and chaotic incompetence. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/08...

Trump's billionaire remodel if the Oval Office is brought to you by the 17 million Americans who were stripped of their healthcare. Rarely has there been a POTUS so out of touch while so enabled.

The CEO of a a multi-trillion dollar company went to the White House, openly handed the US president a gift made of gold, and his company got a special exemption to tariffs the president has illegally imposed. Also, the Founders took bribery so seriously the Constitution bans it 3 separate times.

The Girl Guides of Canada said it was pausing trips to America because of border restrictions in place.

We need to watch for this in the U.S. as well. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/03/w...

Have you joined One Million Rising? We’re in a period of “authoritarian breakthrough” -- when a would-be regime moves to rapidly consolidate power, eliminate checks on that power, and operate with total impunity. www.mobilize.us/indivisibles...

Republicans are trying to charge taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars to needlessly transfer a space shuttle from a museum in Virginia to Texas. Where’s their care and concern for stewarding taxpayer dollars now?

I've lived in Washington, DC for 19 years. This community has been through a lot of controversy and conversation about our football team. But nowadays, we pretty much have consensus about it. 1) Donald Trump, keep our team out of your mouth. 2) Release the Epstein files NOW.

Constitutional crisis is here

Congress MUST require that law enforcement be identifiable. www.cnn.com/2025/02/04/u...

The fact we have secret police whisking people off the streets doesn’t get enough attention. It ain’t normal and we’re further down the road to authoritarianism than you think.

Seems an appropriate day to highlight my recent conversation with @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social , author of *Strongmen*. Empathy and solidarity are the patriotic antidotes to authoritarianism. #FourthofJuly #July4th www.whitetoolong.net/p/empathy-an...

Why? Why don't they know? Whose responsibility is it to ensure they know, how are those mechanisms failing, and what can we do to repair or replace them? Those are the questions those who believe in journalism as public service should be asking ourselves. Because 48% is a failing grade.

There are actually quite a few undocumented Russians in the US. Anyone have any videos of ICE forcefully deporting them? Or just the brown people?

We’re calling for a Florida boycott over the inhumane “Alligator Alcatraz” detention site. Cancel your family vacation and choose a different destination this summer.

Mike Johnson just said if you are for reducing the deficit, this bill is for you. The bill adds 3-4 trillion dollars to the deficit. They just lie.

Protecting his stock portfolio while ripping away health care from 17 million Americans. This is Washington at its worst. We need to ban Congressional stock trading.

He had 5 red sirens too.

Ah, the golden age.
