My theory: the Florida source is a federal prisoner who cut a deal with DOJ. Lie about Abrego Garcia and get a sentence reduction.

A "significant share" of companies surveyed by the Federal Reserve said they raised the prices of goods and services unaffected by tariffs. One company said they did this to "enjoy the extra margin before tariffs increased their costs." See the problem here? www.axios.com/2025/06/04/t...

Arresting a 17-year-old on his way to volleyball practice, here since age 5, or a Missouri mom of three at a routine check-in after 20 years in the U.S.—this isn't justice, it's cruelty. And, yes, ICE agents should be ashamed of themselves.

I’ve encountered zero political analysts who believe Donald Trump will leave office peacefully, and 100% of these analysts understand that Trump will need Hegseth and the Pentagon to hold onto power. Every story out of the Pentagon seems to have, as its subtext, WE ARE PREPARING FOR WHAT IS COMING.

It was never about deporting violent criminals. If that were true, where are the examples? Trump would be shouting the victims’ names from the rooftops. What we’re actually seeing are heartbreaking videos of families torn apart by masked men who look more like white supremacists than ICE agents.

POCAN: You said the president supports the big bill passed out the House. You also said the president doesn't support cutting Medicare. VOUGHT: Correct POCAN: In the bill, there's a $500b cut that gets triggered to Medicare. You might want to take a look at that provision.

Even with massive cuts to Medicaid & SNAP… even after slashing housing, and gutting public education… Republicans’ $3.7 trillion tax cuts still add $2.4 trillion to the deficit. Our kids & grandkids will have the GOP to thank for the economic train wreck they will be left with.

“One Big Beautiful Bill”? Try one big, bold-faced lie. They swore this mess wouldn’t add to the deficit…but the nonpartisan budget office says otherwise. $2.4 TRILLION added to the deficit—and for what? Tax cuts for the rich.

"Abrego Garcia is too dangerous to be afforded basic due process or to re-enter the United States, Trump says, because of his supposed gang membership—but an actual convicted gang leader and murderer deserves a commutation."

Reminder that Trump was ordered by the Supreme Court to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the United States. That was nearly two months ago. If Trump can violate due process and openly defy a SCOTUS order, what’s to stop him from doing the same to anyone else?

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.
