I thought I saw an Iranian sleeper cell in masks, camo and assault rifles kidnap people from a job site and thrown them into a van, then I realized it was ICE.

It’s deeply disturbing that FAA Administrator nominee Bryan Bedford refuses to commit to upholding the 1,500-hour pilot training standard. After the DCA crash and surge in near-misses, now is NOT the time to weaken flight training requirements for pilots. I’ll be voting no.

This is the big story of today. Contrary to most news coverage. SCOTUS drops a Constitution buster on us all.

We're in uncharted territory with this SCOTUS. They're making decisions--without regard to precedent, without regard to norms, without regard to justice, without regard to the impact on the rule of law in the U.S., without regard to consequences, and very often with a complete lack of transparency.

The one silver lining of the Roberts Court is that it will destroy the credibility of the Supreme Court to such an extent that liberals can no longer believe that it will be our salvation.

Himes: All we have is history to go on, and we engineered three regime changes in the region over the course of the last 20 years… Now: Libya, Afghanistan, and Iraq—did any of those go our way? No, they did not.

FLORIDA 🤬 People are sick if they think this is okay. What kind of immigrants are they planning to dump on “Alligator Alcatraz”? Because in Los Angeles they’re snatching flower-selling grandmas and men washing cars. These are human beings who deserve due process, not this cruelty.

This is Ando. He's been a high-risk explosives detection dog for 6 years, and last week he celebrated his final day on the job. His coworkers threw him a surprise retirement party by showering him with dummies, a special reward that detection dogs are trained to love. 14/10 congratulations Ando

They were supposed to be deporting “gang members” and “criminals.” So far, they have kidnapped people working their day jobs and folks lawfully showing up for their immigration court appearances… It was always a lie.

I rarely post personal things. But I need to talk about my 4-year-old niece, Hope. She has a rare disease. A drug called elamipretide has helped her survive. But the FDA recently denied its approval. Now, her health hangs in the balance. Please share her story & urge the FDA to reconsider. 🧵

Today’s unsigned, unexplained #SCOTUS ruling clearing the way for removals of migrants to third countries without any additional process is a disaster—not just on the merits, but because of the government misbehavior that it not only refuses to punish, but effectively rewards. Me, via “One First”:

I'm trying to think of a time when such boneheaded people were making such consequential decisions for our country. Nothing comes to mind. They make even George W. Bush look almost competent.

A great point about those um sleeper cells is that now any terrorist can just dress up as ICE and walk straight into any building, even federal buildings and boom. And it’s all because ICE refuses to identify themselves or take off their masks.

JUST HAPPENED: West: “You can’t violate another country’s sovereignty.” Jennings: “Why? We do it all the time. Who’s going to stop us?” He admitted America breaks the law constantly—and then dared the world to do something about it. That’s not journalism. That’s fascism on live TV.

This is Rhogena Nicholas & Dennis Tuttle. Police shot & killed them—and their dog—during a no-knock raid on their home. A Texas officer claimed an informant had bought heroin there. The problem? That cop lied. The couple hadn’t sold heroin—and there was no informant. A thread.

At least 261 people have died in El Salvador’s prisons…many in a secret “death realm” of brutal black‑site conditions. Torture, neglect, overcrowding, and mass graves are reported. Scores were never convicted; families seek answers amid fear and silence. apnews.com/article/buke...

I can’t speak for every city, but here in LA, ICE bounty hunters aren’t going after gang members. They’re hunting the vulnerable: gardeners, street vendors, day laborers. Easy money, no risk. Folks need to stop pretending this is about crime. @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social—thank you for your words.

The Supreme Court issued a stay, effectively ruling, for now, that the Constitution no longer applies, at least not to immigrants. Fast-track deportations with no opportunity for judicial review violate the fundamental principle of due process, especially for people already on U.S. soil.
