I wrote this four days ago. Today, they arrested the NYC Comptroller.

Farm owner tells Fox News that even his employees with documentation are afraid to come to work because of how aggressive and indiscriminate ICE is being.

Trump flip flops again on mass deportation raids targeting farms and hotels

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

Padilla: I was forced to the ground, first on my knees and then flat on my chest. And as I was handcuffed and marched down a hallway repeatedly asking, why am I being detained? Not once did they tell me why. I pray you never have a moment like this

Remember this moment. Trump is reveling in the narcisisstic and sadistic thrill of threatening others with violent death. He will start to crave that feeling.

They’re cranking up the propaganda machine again: claiming Brad Lander “unlawfully interfered” and that ICE is just “enforcing Trump’s policy.” Reality: Lander stood up for civil rights. ICE’s conduct reflects a deeply troubling use of federal power.

seen some people complaining that this is a political stunt and lemme say if this was the kind of political stunt more politicians were doing on a regular basis we wouldn't be where we are today dude is actually putting himself on the line here, fuck off with that shit

Hi, it’s Meg again. Brad is still in ICE custody. We are grateful to the many friends, supporters, and allies who have gathered in Federal Plaza. Together we are standing up for those with no voice.

Even on climate stuff, what they're doing is really, really unpopular!

This photo. ICE is a gang.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

Kids pick up on things.

Sen. Padilla calles out Noem on the Senate floor for saying that the Trump administration plans to "liberate" California from their elected officials

This proves that Republicans have no qualms with harming hardworking Americans in order to give tax cuts to the rich. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

My office has received many calls from veterans worried they will be denied care by the Department of Veterans Affairs because of their political affiliation or marital status. I call on Secretary Doug Collins to provide a full briefing to Congress and release all relevant documents to the public.

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

“We” are fighting a foreign war with zero consultation with or authorization from Congress, and no address to the nation other than Truth Social posts.

Here's a longer video of Brad Lander's detention just now inside 26 Federal Plaza as he tried to walk a man out of immigration court, by masked federal agents.

We're a decade into this shit and I still cannot get my mind around how America put the single worst human being it has produced in the postwar era in charge not once but twice.

I am saddened to follow up that the victim who was ran over in Riverside, CA, when an angry driver drove into a crowd of protesters, is not doing well. She is now in a medically induced coma. She has undergone multiple surgeries. /

My kingdom to never have to read another post that says "this is a distraction from this other awful thing he's doing!" None of it is a distraction. He's insane.

Black person jaywalking: “throw them under the jail” White assassin: “I mean, surely we’ve all belonged to a religious cult that thinks leftists should die”

An Afghan man who worked as a translator for the U.S. military during the war was detained by ICE after showing up for a hearing inside of a federal courthouse in San Diego, his attorney says. He fears that if he returns to Afghanistan, he would be tortured or even killed, @nbcsandiego.com reports.

Judge William Young was born in 1940 and was appointed by Reagan in 1985. Judge Amir Ali was born the year Young took the bench and was one of Biden's final judicial appointees. On Monday, they were doing the same job — and showing how to be a judge in this moment.

It's good to see district court judges when they lead the way, in the spirit of Constitutional law, with bold honesty. If only the majority of SCOTUS justices could be relied upon to do the same.

"You exploited the murder of a lifetime public servant and her husband to post some sick burns about Democrats...Have you absolutely no conscience? No decency?" — open letter to Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) published in the Salt Lake Tribune

This is freaking weird. Trump just posted a text message he received from Mike Huckabee, his ambassador to Israel, urging him to attack Iran: “I don’t reach out to persuade you. Only to encourage you. I believe you will hear from heaven, and that voice is far more important than mine.”

1/ As of Thursday 6/12, several former military leaders, as well as prominent veterans, are speaking out against Trump’s deployment of troops to Los Angeles, calling it unlawful, unnecessary, & a misuse of military power. I compiled a thread of their voices so far. Please add more that you find.

What fresh hell is this?

Has there ever been a less relevant Secretary of State than Marco Rubio?

Bartiromo: "The Senate Finance Committee unveiling the text of President Trump's bill ... it includes even steeper Medicaid cuts than the House called for." (Trump has repeatedly claimed that the bill doesn't cut Medicaid. Oops.)

Davidson: "Even the most optimistic pro-growth tax models-- not CBO - everyone says this increases deficits in this Congress and in this presidency. So even if you say 'we're gonna take into account high growth and tariffs,' it still hurts deficits." (Note that Maria is unhappy about his comments.)

CNN host Jake Tapper directly equating Joe Biden being old to the Bush administration starting an illegal war in Iraq based on lies. Amazing stuff.

This is exactly why I press Democrats to push back. The media might do this kind of fact-checking on its own, but when a prominent Democrat makes the case for them, it's much more likely they'll run a piece like this. Well done, @amyklobuchar.com and @sltrib.com
