UPDATE: COLOMBIA’s President says 🇺🇸 government (Trump) “committed murder” and bombed a fisherman with no ties to drugs “The boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure”

The only explanation for this is that these people would disprove the administration’s narrative about the identity of the people we are murdering. I’m a little surprised they didn’t just straight-up murder these two in custody. That’s who the government is now.

Two amazing signs

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

We’re getting very used to this but the statement is unusually unhinged.

Never forget that Jews sought refuge in the U.S. in the 1930s & the U.S. sent them back to Germany, where the Nazis incinerated them. This plan is vile, racist & un-American.

No prison sentence for criticizing him. Yet.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace. That’s not making America great again.

I hope y'all are excited for a couple weeks of Canadian-only chartposting

ICE detained the partner of an acquaintance of mine from college during her green card interview. If this happens to people trying to follow the legal process, in what kind of country are we living?

An irony of the Trump era will be that if all goes well, and we continue the European defence plan, it will be Europe that reindustrialises and not the United States. Think of what we are doing right now as a European version of what the Americans did from 1933 to 1944. A European New Deal.

What can you even say?

"Because someone died, we have to take away your rights" -- the same pretextual rationale that authoritarians always use

Fire Kilmeade.

I just saw a TikTok like “the motivations of assassins don’t make sense anymore” but boy have they never. Hinkley shot Reagan to impress Jodi Foster. Oswald was such a complete mess people just assume the CIA did it. Guiteau killed Garfield because no one would make him an ambassador.

This is known as "chain refoulment" and yes, it's a violation of international law.

All the noise is drowning out that Bolsonaro was found guilty, and the Brazilian republic thereby passed the test the American republic continues to fail.

We're close to reaching a chilling moment; the first time in history where the single largest group of people arrested by ICE in the interior and held in detention are people with no criminal record. The gap is now down to fewer than 300 people.

Oh man they are gonna get hit with so many tariffs

"People wouldn't be as angry if this happened to Kelley." Is so obviously true it's literally not worth saying. Rachel has more fans than Kelley & was doing way better in the game. What you *should* be saying is, people wouldn't be as angry if Rachel HAD BEEN VOTED OUT. #BB27

The price of liberty

Political violence is bad. It usually begets more political violence. Celebrating political violence is bad. It usually encourages more political violence, against various targets. Campus shootings are bad. They make everyone on campus less safe. It's bad that what I wrote here is controversial.

I think it’s maybe suboptimal that the Supreme Court has created a system where the president can break the law, as interpreted by other courts, while the justices hear arguments in their own proceedings. Creates a solid timeline for Trump to do… anything he wants (?) while we wait for SCOTUS.

The Supreme Court just ruled that ICE can target people based on their race. Can we get a “Fuck ICE” in the chat?

Everyone involved should be sent to the Hague.

i don't think it's great that there is no one in the GOP asking about congressional war powers

HUGE. The 5th Circuit joins many other federal courts in holding that Trump’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act was unlawful. The judges emphasize that the law is fundamentally about *war* and about military actions; not illegal immigration or drug trafficking.

Drug trafficking is not a capital crime; it doesn’t carry a death sentence. I genuinely cannot think of anything under U.S. law that would permit premeditated government assassination of people suspected of drug trafficking.

They named their alliance "The Judges" because they decide who goes home. But ironically it's Ava that has consistently been a key swing vote this season (Zae, Adrian, Rylie), and could again be deciding which way the vote goes this week. #BB27

First order of the day once Orbán is out: The E.U must change the mechanisms by which it punishes member states that break its rules and values. It's incredible how much Orbán was able to get away with and is still getting away with.

Arguably the most anti-religious administration in history. Just nakedly hostile to those who wish to practice their faith.

🚨Border Patrol arrested two firefighters who were actively fighting a wildfire at the time. When the other members of the crew asked for a chance to say goodbye, a Border Patrol agent told the crew member “you need to get the f*ck out of here. I’m going to make you leave.”

The party that claims to care about law and order sends the military to pick up trash in DC but has nothing to say about the regular massacre of children in schools under than ‘thoughts and prayers.’

Okay family... I think its time we revisit the conversation about AFP. Say her name. #BB27

State ownership and control like socialism but with an extremely nationalist outlook? Sounds like nationalist socialism or nazism, if you will.

i'll say it again, my loud and vigorous support for any democrat who calls for televised hearings and criminal charges for everyone involved in DOGE. this guy should never be able to live in peace again.

Yeah, here is Trump just openly admitting that he is ordering the FBI to target his opponents. Impeachable offense number infinity

Is it bad that GDP growth is half what it was last year? Half? That seems bad.

Thank you, Rachel Reilly, for the best night of #BB27

LGBTQ people and our history will never be erased, and the lives taken at Pulse will never be forgotten.

pardon my texan but what a crock of horse shit

The Party of Life. The Party of Children. The Party of Sexual Predators.

For most of the last decade, our media and political class has panicked over the idea that progressives were intruding on free speech rights by loudly criticizing people with unpopular views. Anyway, here's far-right federal paramilitaries advertising that they'll rip down pro-immigrant messages.

gallego knows that ideological purity tests are not the way to win elections.... running high-quality candidates who match their districts is. the left message on affordability in particular is something i expect to resonate with a lot of disengaged voters (when the left is not the incumbent party)

I am not even American and my skin is crawling in embarrassment. We have a word in German for when you feel embarrassed on behalf of someone else's embarrassment: "Fremdschämen"

Never forget this moment. And never forgive it.
