"Convincing a jury of 12 NJ citizens, most likely the congresswoman’s own constituents, that she assaulted an ICE officer and made him fear for his safety beyond a reasonable doubt, is another matter. McIver will also have a powerful defense in the Speech or Debate Clause." — @lizdye.bsky.social

Holy shit. AP reports that the Trump admin. provided deportation officials with personal data and immigration status on millions of Medicaid enrollees. Data includes "addresses, names, social security numbers and claims data for enrollees" in California, Illinois, Washington state and Washington DC.

WATCH: “I WAS AN INTERPRETER IN AFGHANISTAN FOR 3 YEARS.” ICE grabs a man whose name they don’t even know at his immigration hearing, shackles him, expedites his removal. Q: Why would anyone ever help our military again? — Trump is endangering and weakening our military.

The taliban will kill this man. He aided us, fled his country so he could know safety after, and we are effectively sending him to die. I can’t be any more disgusted and angry, but if I could, this would do it. Fuck the fascists. Why would anyone ever work with us again after something like this?

So Kristi Noem goes on Fox and lies that Sen Padilla didn’t ID himself, even though the video is there for all to see. But get what she’s saying: Assaulting and handcuffing someone for trying to ask a question is OK in any case? This is a criminal regime.

The Senate bill aims to effectively end all civil rights lawsuits against the federal government except by entities rich enough to potentially pay million/billions in fees. I am not making this up.

The actions of Gabbard and Ratcliffe are not especially surprising. The president has long made clear that he views the IC as suspect, though his national security leadership in his first term pursued only limited reforms within their respective agencies.

Newsom: "He's been a stone cold liar about what he said we talked about. He never discussed the National Guard. Period. Full stop. I would love to share with you what he actually talked about. It would send shivers up your spine."

“ICE” as snatching people from churches now. Never forget they said this👇🏾 MAN AT CHURCH: “We don’t want this in our property.” ICE: “The whole country is our property.” No IDs shown, non-government out of state plates, basic tactical vests that just say police. Who are these men?

It's a truly jarring split screen that Kristi Noem's goons attacking Sen Padilla happened at almost the exact same time as 16 Dem senators crossed lines to vote with the GOP to invoke cloture on the crypto bill, forfeiting any leverage. Dems need to act like an opposition.

SCOOP — ICE employees received an email yesterday telling them the agency's warrantless arrest policy had been rescinded. It's likely part of the Trump administration's efforts to further loosen enforcement restrictions to meet the new quota of 3,000 immigration arrests per day. My report:

I remember the old days like 6 months ago when MAGA accused Democrats of being warmongers for wanting to provide aid to Ukraine, claiming that the real motive for it was to use them to fight a proxy war against another country for US interests. I guess proxy wars are ok now.

Seeing more reports from LA moms that ICE is kidnapping nannies from parks and nobody seems to know what’s happening to them or the kids in their care. Some bustling parks are now nearly empty from fear. They’re destroying our civic spaces like a conquering army.

Gavin Newsom We will keep fighting on behalf of all our people. If some of us can be snatched off the streets without a warrant, based only on suspicion or skin color, then none of us are safe. Authoritarian regimes begin by targeting people who are least able to defend themselves.

Listening to the asshole @SpeakerJohnson just blame Senator Padilla makes a few things clear. 1st - He uses God and religion to justify lying. 2nd - IT IS TIME FOR A NATIONAL STRIKE. AMERICANS SHOULD CALL IN SICK AND SHOULD STOP SPENDING MONEY ON ANYTHING BUT NECESSITIES.
